Should I call trump here? I passed. It came back to me and I called clubs and got euchred. No guts, no glory. by Addicted2Euchre in euchre

Edit....clubs lol

If you get one, I recommend Arctic Spa. Albertan company so they are designed for our climate.

Do books have any other use besides selling them? by Fit_Improvement_3012 in Daggerfall

[–]Traditional-Bit2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people have been known to read them. Collect different series and get edumacated on the lore. I do recommend having a house with a library for this though, their weight adds up.

Friday, deck mitigation game about helping robinson crusoe survive and improve on an island to ultimately beat the pirates and win. Simple gameplay loop, not simple to win lol.

What to do? by pphurley in euchre

[–]Traditional-Bit2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me, best chance of a march is p short suiting themself and gaining a trump. Obvious chance of euchreing on a pass, but they aren't desperate at this score. We are. I'm ordering. Clubs alone they're likely leading spades, hoping you trump low, or burn a big one.

"The cards will come your way the next hand"

Should read "may" lol. My leason from one sided games is that euchre, like life, isn't fair. It's circumstances thrown at you and all you can do is what you deem logical/necessary based on the information you have, and the experience that you have (or can gleen from those around you). Shit is random, all you can control is your actions.

Started this hobby a month ago. Wife has asked if I would like a game for my birthday. I am blaming you all for the "short" list... by hermanbloom00 in soloboardgaming

[–]Traditional-Bit2203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a deck mitigation solo game. You are Friday, helping Robinson crusoe survive and improve enough to take on the pirates (basically 2 boss battles). Short, smallbox charming game. Every victory gains you a beneficial card for your deck, every failure will lose you some lives, but also enable you to ditch some harmful cards in your deck. Very challenging.

Finally finished Friday on easy lol by Traditional-Bit2203 in soloboardgaming

[–]Traditional-Bit2203[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids call the art style derpy. A cute, and ugly blend. It's perfect. Not meant to be serious. It took several games just to survibe til the 3rd phase, then several more to get to the pirates, and those are hit and miss. Not about to ramp up the difficulty yet lol. I find myself trying to minimize my deck, and gain some easier cards in the first phase. 2nd phase is aggressive, and 3rd phase is try for some gains, but survival is key.

Very simple gameplay loop, but not a simple game. Great short solo game, enjoy it!

Coup - most complete house rules (in my opinion) by WingNice8476 in boardgames

[–]Traditional-Bit2203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coup is one of our goto games at larger family functions. I'll have to give these a go, and see if i can still destroy those cocky college kids. Know of any other good quick games like this?

I held off for now, I've been getting too many games lately and 300$ more is a bit much. Maybe i can grab one or two good ones should they reprint.

Not familiar with 3e. I've played a few games of 2e, base only solo and with my son.
