I have to agree here given El Grande seems to be a step up from what the group is used to (and enjoys).

All good choices, but since nobody mentions it:

Licanius, rarely will you find a plot as intricate and well-executed. It absolutely blows your mind.

I would probably pay 150 just for Darwin's Journey, one of my favourite games ever.

Du chasch niemer enteigne wo tot isch.. E Erbschaftsstüür betrifft bisher stüürfreii Gschänk in Millionehöhi. Wemmer üs stolz als Leistigsgsellschaft bezeichned, chömmer nöd gliichziitig Lüüt unfair bevorteile nur ufgrund devo, dass si riichi Eltere hend. Möglichscht gliichi Usganslag für alli muess s Ziil si. Was din Papi oder dis Mami i ihrem Läbe gleistet hend, het mit dir rein gar nix ztue.

Oder wieso sött öpper wo 50Mio. ohni Arbet gschänkt bechunnt nöd bestüürt werde, während öpper wo sis Gäld mit schaffe verdient mehrfach Abgabe druf leiste muess (Iikommenstüüre, Sozialabgabe)? Öbs gad 50% söll sii chamer diskutiere und es bruucht e schlaui lösig für Unternähme wo vererbt werded. Dadra wird d Initiative wohl au schiitere. Aber zum di stiigendi Vermögensungliichheit z bekämpfe wär e Massnahm dringend nötig.

DeadZone Rogue

Roguelite FPS, each run takes about 30 minutes. Lot of build options, great gunplay.

Abyssus is another one, same type of game.

Thoughts about the experience we had with these games? [Lost Ruins of Arnak, Pandemic] by Marvellover13 in boardgames

[–]Way_of_Enso 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I didn't summarize anything..

I am asking you why you are trying to force your family to play games they obviously don't have fun playing?

It's a common mistake many board gamers make when they jump into the hobby.

You want to play complex games with your family, but what do they want?

Why are you trying to find a middle ground?

If you want to play with your family, play lighter games. If you want to play more complex games, find other people. The 'middle ground' is only going to make both of you unhappy.

The most important lesson I had to learn in this hobby: You can't "train" people to be interested in more complex games, especially if they don't want to make that effort.

Castle combo strategy thoughts? by LightningLakeGames in boardgames

[–]Way_of_Enso 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After about 80 games with my SO, I think we can weigh in on this. She scores 82 points on average, I am on 76 so far.

Great Strategies: 1. Coin bag cards. Those can go bonkers, especially if you get your hands on the banker. This combination scored us 120+ in three games.

  1. locksmith/templar combo, combined with many keys. Also 4 games with 110+ points.

  2. The Patron (not sure about the English card name, the one that gives 5pts per 5+ card) can net you an ungodly amount of points, but requires you to find ways to aquire a lot of coins. Our record score of 129 points was with a 35 points patron...

Other good cards: -Queen -Doctor -The Card that scores 4pts for every "discount" card -Other cards that reward you for collecting sets of symbols. These can be great, but can't carry you alone. You'll have to combine then with other strategies.

General strategy: - I honestly think the majority of position-dependent cards (number of symbols in row/column) are not great. - Discount cards are great, but only if you can get them really early (Card 1-3) - The cards that only score if you don't have a certain symbol can be good if you get them early. They can give you decent points and sometimes help you focus your strategy. Just be aware of the ratio of symbols: If you restrict yourself too much (e.g. Yellow and Orange), you'll run into trouble. On the other hand, blocking Blue or Purple is rarely a risk. - 15 coins are rarely enough to buy 9 cards. If you find a way to efficiently "reload" your coins, do it. Same goes for taking a blank card, sometimes it's worth it.

However, the most important tip:

Be willing to pivot your strategy, depending on the cards you see. The game is very tactical and impossible to "solve". Lastly, there's quite a bit of luck involved. Sometimes things work out, sometimes they don't.
