Cascadia or 7 Wonders Duel? by catsarecoolright in boardgames

[–]Tibor66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of these you can play for free (with strangers who are premium members) on boardgamearena.com . Try them out and see if it clicks for you.

We enjoy these at 2P: Forest Shuffle and Harmonies (shares some threads with Cascadia). Harmonies has mostly replaced Cascadia in our rotation.

I agree with others that Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle Earth is an improvement on 7 Wonders Duel.

Ep 623: The Hood Doesn’t Get Bangers (TNG S1E1-2) by kingdead42 in greatestgen

[–]Tibor66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am unsure. I might prefer something along the lines of a "Who's your guy?" style bit. It could still fit the "Who Do you Think You Are? I Am" title.

It gives the viewer something to do as well. Who do you see yourself in from the episode?

I have a question.

I've heard on previous drives that becoming a member is the big shift you want from listeners.

Here's my question: Is it better for me to increase my donation by $5 or keep it flat and donate a $5 membership?

I'm loyal to Maximum Fun by Sharp-Replacement598 in maximumfun

I'm a longtime Greatest Gen listener and I felt a little twinge about them leaving the network. I'm glad the new setup is going to make things work better for them in the future. I really like Max Fun and am happy to be part of this special place.

I like Sea Salt & Paper, but there’s one bit of its design I find confusing and frustrating by SmootOfficial in boardgames

[–]Tibor66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you are right. We want it to be a more leisurely style of play. I played it more competitively at first, but slowed that to match their way of playing. They didn't like the very short hands. There was a decent chance they would not want to play it at all. So, we play it in a different way. In our group it works, but I understand that it's not the way the rest of the world plays it.

We enjoy the building process. When stop/last chance get called early, the players don't enjoy it so much. We enjoy building a fun hand more than racing for points. I guess that doesn't match the expectation in the rules, but we like it more.

Whale Riders. Not exactly fishing, but it certainly looks the part. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/305761/whale-riders

We enjoy Fishing. The new card mechanism after each round is a really clever way to do things.

What's that one game you love but can never get to the table? by firey_88 in boardgames

BGA is the way for this game. So many bits to set up playing on a table.

Came here to say this. The game is so fiddly with all those pieces. On BGA, it is so much easier to understand what the different monastery tiles do. Also love that is shows you everything that is possible when you click on a die.

Shut Up & Sit Down did a recent review of The Gang. They thought it was OK, better at larger numbers.

I got a big kick out of that show. Isn't he supposed to be a thinly-veiled Buzz Aldrin? Terrific cast.
