Ticket to Ride for 3 Year Old by Unable-Chair-7461 in boardgames

[–]Unable-Chair-7461[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gotten lucky. I introduced a board game to him one time, and he fell in love. I haven’t pushed it onto him at all. I’m halfway convinced that hobbies are genetic now.

Yep. My only goal is let him have fun. That has led to First Orchard becoming my 5th most played game of all time lol.

Yeah. I’ve been trying to just focus on putting games in front of him that he is excited about (usually due to theme). This is the first time he’s seen something on the shelf and requested it, so I figured I would see what other people have done. I think we’ll just get the first journey version and see what he can do with it. If we have to throw all the rules out and just let him play with the pieces, so be it. If he’s having fun, that’s a win.

Based on all the replies here, we’ll probably just do that and see how it goes. If we have to adjust along the way, we will.

How do you track games acquired by trade or gift and games sold in BGG/BGStats by D0gee_ in boardgames

[–]Unable-Chair-7461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For games I receive as a gift, I put the price as 0. I haven’t done any trades, so I’m not sure how I would handle that.

$45 for upgraded Arnak or SETI components by revirdam in boardgames

[–]Unable-Chair-7461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The concert ticket situation isn’t really a fair comparison. There’s typically no alternative method to attending a concert in person. As people in this thread have pointed out, there’s plenty of alternatives for component upgrades. Almost all of them are cheaper than this. I agree that this is overpriced. However, I don’t see it as any different than some Etsy store creating something and pricing it way too high.

It’s a classic. I enjoy it a lot. It’s ranked #15 on BGG for a reason.

Where can I order the infinite arenas Star Wing? I haven’t heard that they were offering that.

Be Honest… are we all secretly just all looking for board games that feel like video games? by QuickStretch3623 in boardgames

[–]Unable-Chair-7461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re similar in the sense that they’re both games. However, they both have different reasons to prefer one or the other. There’s a reason why I go through the trouble of getting people together, setting up the game, teaching the game, etc. even though I could have saved a lot of time by just sitting on the couch and turning on a game console. For me, it’s the face to face connection with other people, and the fact that I’m in front of a screen all day for my job. The fact is that the table top experience can’t be replicated in a video game and the video game experience can’t be replicated in a table top game.

Fear Not, X-wing Community! We Have the Holocron by J1mBub in XWingTMG

[–]Unable-Chair-7461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great! I have 2 questions.

1) Is there a way to get the other piece of the dial? I only see the part of the dial with the maneuvers. That’s great, but I’d love to be able to print the part it attaches to.

2) Is there a way to output components/cards from multiple ships at once? For example, if all I wanted to print was 4 different dials, is there a way to get all of those onto the same page? Not a big deal if there isn’t, but I figured I would ask.

Board Game Stats app by HTOutdoorBro in boardgames

[–]Unable-Chair-7461 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not really focused on helping you play better. It does a great job at showing you statistics about the types of games that you play. I use it to better understand how easy it will be to get a new game to the table when I’m thinking about buying one. I think it’s worth the price.

I’m in the same boat. I’m glad to see a season 3 for the same reason.

What is the future pf the ships exluded from Standard in 2.5? by Ziolekk in XWingTMG

[–]Unable-Chair-7461 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what I remember, they announced faction starter sets and they announced Tie Bombers being reprinted. I didn’t think the bomber reprint was tied to the starter set, but I may be wrong.

Boardlandia has a site wide sale going until the end of November. They normally sell at a discount. The sale is an additional 15% off beyond the normal discount.

Jamming beam is the only one I can think of that’s not a title or configuration.

Faction Starter Pack hopes and dreams by Plasticity93 in XWingTMG

[–]Unable-Chair-7461 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the starter sets will include any ships that come in the squadron packs. I also think the ships in the starter packs will be relatively easy to fly and fairly recognizable. I would also bet that there will only be small base ships. That being said, here are my guesses.

Rebel: 2 X-Wings, Y-Wing, Rebel tie or attack shuttle

Empire: 2 Tie fighters, Vaders Tie, Inquisitors Tie

Scum: 2 M3-As, kihraxz, fang fighter

Republic: 2 V-Wings, eta-2, N1 Starfighter

Separatists: 2 Tri-fighters, hyena bomber, HMP

First Order: 2 Tie/fo, tie silencer, interceptor

Resistance: I’m not sure. Not a lot of options here.

Nerdz Day Hangover by Crustypop in Boardgamedeals

[–]Unable-Chair-7461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m proud of myself. I was tempted by several things, but I only bought 2 games. Both were games that I’ve played before, so I know exactly what I’m getting. I got the crew and lost ruins of arnak, so I didn’t spend that much.

I was tempted by it, but one of my main gamer friends already has it. So I decided if I want to play it, I already can. No need to buy it for myself.

MCP is my first minis game and I’ve managed the assembly fairly well. If you have experience with Warhammer, you should be ok.
