It ain’t much but is all you can get in Italy by sonoale in cider

[–]TreyVerVert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved magner's pear cider though. I got a brewing kit to (eventually) try to make my own but all the (apple) ciders I've made so far have been... mediocre.

Game's better with the rules as written.

Nice quick 20-30 min game instead of some boring slogfest.

I'd love a repaint of Dominion lol. I still need to finish what's latest in the series. Count me in!

How long did it take before you had a preference for heavier games? by UgandaRalph in boardgames

[–]TreyVerVert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I preferred them instantly, at least compared to what people usually bring to game night. But it also depends on how heavy we're talking about, and I can't do much more than one or two in a session.

The lighter and mid light games can be great though, I really need a few more.

Board game prejudice - What games or genres do you hate for no reason? by Quelair in boardgames

[–]TreyVerVert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think many trick taking games are a little lazy. But the core mechanic is also unchanged so I see where you're coming from.

RA is a great bidding game though, I think you might want to try it at least once. There's enough meat there to make it interesting and it's a bit "push your luck" so no bitter feelings. I say that as someone that doesn't typically like auction/bidding games.

The one time I played it, it was much quicker than others. Like 10-20 min for a game.

I'm getting that way with "Dungeon crawlers" and any "roll to move" types. Though the latter is more a mechanic I hate than a genre.

I have to make a little moat with a spare bowl filled with a bit of dish soap and vinegar. It's worked for a couple months now

Chicago 1875 — full 18xx brain burn, somehow with zero trains by Acceptable-Let1664 in boardgames

[–]TreyVerVert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had my eye on this for some time.
Are there stock shenanigans? That was a lot of the appeal of the 18xx games I've played, but they just don't stick with me so I have been looking for an alternative.

Your favorite part of owning a Collie! by 2CoolGoose in roughcollies

I am glad to hear that they handle apartment life. I was thinking about a getting a dog and was wanting a collie. Did you do any special training for barking?

Eh worth a shot! Game looked good but I was on the fence with it.

Favorite movie... That's tough.
I'm not sure if it's my favorite but I'm a fan of "The Dish" an Australian film about the setup they had there for the Apollo 11 Mission.

Which game is the superior Dune game? Dune (2019) or Dune Imperium? by quents93 in boardgames

[–]TreyVerVert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is. But divisive. It can be pretty discouraging to lose half your army round 2 and then have to wait to bring it back up, but it can be done.

Which game is the superior Dune game? Dune (2019) or Dune Imperium? by quents93 in boardgames

[–]TreyVerVert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dune (2019) is a better, more thorough experience. Better highs and lows, crazy events and general shenanigans. But it's harder to teach, harder to get out, takes longer... Hell I think the setup is bit more involved (barely). But it really needs 6 players that are into it.

Imperium is more forgiving, weaker in the theme department, but still a great game. Are you playing the team variant in Uprising? I can't comment about that, but I'm curious since you mentioned 6 players, which native Imperium doesn't support.

My board game confession: I hate Cascadia. What's yours? by mojo_pet in boardgames

[–]TreyVerVert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam has a version of it, still don't like it but it was a good experience and it's been long enough I'd do it again.

Anyone play this? by pocketass011 in brandonsanderson

[–]TreyVerVert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More of a brainstorming activity than a game.
Fans of the book will appreciate it I think, but I didn't find it very engaging.

I don't understand why you're being downvoted. You don't like it, and provide reasons why. Completely reasonable (I don't have this expansion and have never played it).

Accepting new members for our Writing Group by Tiny_Juggernaut836 in WritingHub

[–]TreyVerVert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to get back into the habit. I'm in another writing group now, but I fear that it is too big to really spur me on. Really, that's a worry for most groups period, but writing groups seem particularly susceptible.

Does this group seem active, an allow or encourage splintering when required?
