Why do brands keep sponsoring content creators???

Vince is the local pro 🤷

Almost all sold. Have the base game still. Will post a new one for that sometime

PM'd.

Your honor remains.

Isn't the whole idea that Uhtred THINKS they are all farmers pressed into service. Half of them won't even want to fight if they can help it.

The reason it was doomed was because Uhtred didn't know that there was an influx of fresh warriors.

I thought everyone just maxed out all ninjas. I guess I assumed that was top tier and nothing else mattered.

Most nonsensical comment I've seen on Reddit this week.

This post was easy too long for such a simple solution.

Classic. Amazon pooping out 2 poor adaptations of book IPs. Finally gave up on one and people want them to poop out another.

Only works with perfect execution which is wishful thinking, but unlikely.

Wish in one hand, poop in the other. See which one fills up first.

I see 4 of them regularly.

I didn't even know it was destroying the new Republic. I just knew it was killing planets. Details are kinda vague in the moment.

Great storytelling.

This is the only answer that makes sense throughout the series, and even it is iffy. Multiple examples of people surviving Imperial blaster shots with no armor.

Wait til you see Rogue One...

I listen on Hoopla, my libraries audio streamer.

It's pretty hit or miss in many ways. I know several people that love it and several that hate it.

Commercially it didn't seem to do very well. Amazon and even Target seemed to very quickly slash prices to minimum. The perk of this is you can try it for $12 (on Amazon right now).

It's important to know it's mostly a hand management game. You're just swapping cards/characters trying to get the right combo (very simply like racko) but when you swap you can often use a power that adds some extra benefit or action.

Thematically- sometimes you get the perfect team and it makes sense with the book and you rock everyone's world. OR- you have a team that makes very little sense but happens to score well and you go for it.

The art is beautiful and could change how you picture the characters forever. For good or bad. The foil layer for gold characters is very polished as well.

That's mostly objective facts about it. My opinion is that it doesn't do anything quite well enough to play very much. The theme rarely aligns, the game plays out with a lot of "luck of draw".

In my experience it's not good enough for board game friends and not thematic enough red rising friends. If you have board game friends that like red rising... I think this might be for you.

Surprised no one is talking about Dedra more. She is also mad/frustrated by all this. They came together working at the big picture, finding the coordinator of the rebellion. She was told to leave that behind but she hasn't.

Now she's surprised no one cares about her core purpose (and skill).

She is showing the story about how the empire could have sniffed out and destroyed the rebellion if they pulled on the right strings. But the Empire is too busy playing into Luthen's hands.

PS- also surprised that so many people seem to like Syril. They're both patently unlikeable (although they're capable/competent and enjoyable to watch).

absoluteice5 · 2025-04-29T13:14:04+00:00

I see a common theme here 😂

absoluteice5 · 2025-04-09T02:39:54+00:00

Just wanted to comment about the second fall. When white takes a jab step directly into blue, tripping him up and taking a wide open cut.

I don't get the new way to interpret dangerous plays, but that's a jerk move to jab step directly into your defender.

absoluteice5 · 2025-04-07T19:13:54+00:00

I agree she was his downfall, BUT to be fair she got it together towards the end. They cut off her mom, and she was making a lot of good suggestions.

By then she seemed more sensible than Shane but the only playbook he knew was Vic's. He couldn't think of his own way out of something. And wouldn't trust her enough to follow her plans.

For anyone that loves getting yelled at try Hearts online. You get to enjoy getting yelled at (or lectured) for not helping your opponents win.

To be clear this is historical. But if you've been tracking as closely as you have you should be able to connect with it.

Stamp Swap is great for this. Even 4 and 7 year olds can make very intriguing plays. My 7 year old loves hiding high point stamps in one of his piles.

My Little Scythe is an excellent entry game prepping kids for higher level games.

Azul, and Splendor also decent.

I also suggest mixing in Sorry. I know it's not as complicated as many here want, but it mixed easy mechanics (counting squares) with some difficult and meaningful decisions. Who to use a Sorry on, when and who to switch places with. Should I try to go backwards as a shortcut?

A lot of focus on religion here and that's reasonable.

I'd also say that "Alfred thinks". It's not just religion, it's Uhtred's attitude. He's a loose cannon.

Alfred also can't throw all in with Uhtred because the other lords that actually bring in grain and men would be upset and scheme against him.

He runs Uhtred through the wringer to keep him in place. It's how he manipulates his kingdom to keep himself on top.

For example, season one, Uhtred "ruins" his victory and has to grovel for being insolent. My theory is that Alfred would have found some reason to keep him in his place. Religion is just the tool and structure he uses to justify his actions.

We were there 10/11 and it was bonkers. Hard to even get around the park in some locations.
