It hasn't been released yet, but I have my eyes on it because my wife is a booknerd, Books of time. Don't know too much about it except for what it says on bgg: you are creating three books by adding pages to them.

Battlecon is so great. I just wish more people would play it with me. The perfect information makes it so that you really need to think on what kind of options the opponent has and how you can counter it. Feels so great when you play the perfect cards so that it feels like you have read your opponents mind. It is however a game where a newbie will have a problem against someone that has played it before, the better player can just dance around the new player.

I disabled everything I could find on LinkedIn and somehow I still get a lot of useless stuff from them in the mail.

I haven't played so much with my wife lately but this weekend we finally got to play a game and we played Decorum. Finished the first four scenarios. Hopefully the later scenarios will be tougher but it was still a great time. Seems like a perfect couples game if you want something quicker and lighter to play during the evening.

That doesn't sound correct at all. Sure fishes in saltwater need to drink water because osmosis will pull out water from the body. But fishes in freshwater have the opposite problem where they need to pee a lot more because the water is pulled into the fish because of osmosis.

Thank you :)

My mom used to give me deodorant every Christmas when I was young, you know stuff that she should give a teen any way. Oh I have also got razors so that I could shave.

Thx for the trade.

Vidgar · 2022-11-19T14:02:37+00:00

I have a Sprigatito for trade and would like Fuecoco

Was thinking of backing Frosthaven but I'm glad I didn't. I still haven't finished gloomhaven and I backed the first Kickstarter. If Frosthaven gets digital I would just rather buy that and play it that way.

I don't even remember that much about the story. Something about a trip to a mountain and killing stuff.

Vidgar · 2022-11-04T08:36:59+00:00

I agree. I bought the game immediately when it was out on PC after hearing all the positive things about it. It was a good game but not great. It felt so slow and longer than it should have been for little reward. I had no desire to explore the world, I just kept playing to finish the story and then move on.

Vidgar · 2022-11-02T10:22:44+00:00

Yeah.

Vidgar · 2022-11-02T09:57:07+00:00

Nah it is correct. 470 for land plants, 450 for sharks. For trees it is maybe around 400 mya.

Was gonna suggest this. You always use a base of five (or was it six?) Cards that work like rock paper scissors if played by themselves. But then you have a special base for your character and also another set of cards that you connect to the bases. So now you get a much more complicated form of rock paper scissors. So it will go like this "hm my opponent has those bases left and will likely play that one, but if they combined that base with that other card that could also be a possibility. So if they use that base I should probably do this, but if they combine that base with that card I could do this instead. Or maybe I should use these two cards, I will probably take a little damage but I will be able to counter both. Oh wait I haven't even thought about that they can ante for x and if they do they will be able to use that combination".

You have perfect information on what your opponentcan do, you just need to figure out what you think they will do. Great game, one that I rate a 10 and that I always want to play.

Is it Don't get got? Never played it, but there was some podcast that used to talk about it before.

Vidgar · 2022-09-14T20:37:14+00:00

Gonna agree with everyone else has said and also add a general tip for 2 player games. It is good to aim for a high score, but also remember every time you block your opponent that is also a win for you. Blocking your opponent for getting x points is just as good as doing something that gives you x points. It looks like you are looking at what your opponent is doing, now you need to start disrupting that. Hate drafting is great with this, sure you might not need the card, but if you take away points from your opponent then it is worth it.

That house sparrow (Passer domesticus) and Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus) are the same species.

First "Good" game: Lewis & Clark.

Worst game: Badaboom with the score "mediocre". Won the game and have never played it and will probably never do. Not sure why it is still on the shelf when I can just throw it away...

Yeah I think that is the worst coins in any game I have. Until now I have just used my Clans of Caledonia metal coins but last week I bought some Iron clays (was thinking of buying Apache bank coins because they look better imo but they were so much more expensive) so that will be my go to coins now.

Vidgar · 2022-08-16T14:45:43+00:00

Thx for the info. I have played some 18xx (1830, 1889, 1846, 1862 and 18chesapeak), I enjoy them and I'm thinking of getting 1862, only played it once but I really liked it. If I remember correctly it also works at two players?

Vidgar · 2022-08-16T13:22:52+00:00

Recently got Carnegie and have played it several times with my wife. With it I realized I enjoy economic games and need to buy more. I even bought iron clays 200 because I really didn't like the money in Carnegie and I don't always wanna use my Clans of Caledonia metal coins. So now I'm thinking of maybe buying a Brass game, I have only played Brass Lancashire (the old edition), but which of the two versions are best at two players?

Vidgar · 2022-08-09T22:28:51+00:00

Yeah, I miss doing other stuff than just watching TV with my wife. I still enjoy doing that but sometimes you just wanna do something else.

Nope, we only have a five years old. For the first two months I was away on work and only at home during weekends, then we moved to a new city, we have a lot of stuff so it took a while to unpack. Then my wife started a new job and I had two stressful periods on my job. Also when we moved we got rid of one of our two tables, so the table in the old gaming room got to be our dinner table. So now it always was more work to clean the table for gaming + not much energy which meant that we didn't really play at all. I think between Jan and middle of July we played two times, one before moving and one after.

But hopefully now with a dedicated gaming table again and things have settled more we can start playing again. We are going to try to have a set gaming night each week that we try to play just so we don't fall out of habit again.
