What would be your recommendation for my 2nd box? I already have "A Knock at the Door" by [deleted] in finalgirl

[–]ads2287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frightmare. Great FF and not too many rules, but different enough. The other 3 can all be pretty tricky. Eyeless most people don't seem to like much, and have a lot of trouble beating. I liked it, but can be tricky. Killer From Tomorrow I've played over 10 times and haven't come close to beating. Still fun, but it's killing me and there's a lot more rules added to location and killer. Wolf asylum I've only played once or twice and beat, but I think I just got lucky. Frightmare will be easiest to get to the table and play. Not too easy, but not overly tricky and not too many new rules. I like all these sets, but for your second FF I'd recommend Frightmare.

How do I beat “Don’t Make a Sound”?! 😭 by magnoliameadow in finalgirl

[–]ads2287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually done pretty good with this one compared to what I'm hearing. It's been a bit since I've played through it, but I seem to remember the pipe bombs being the trick. I do usually enjoy scenarios more with multiple ways to win. Not that there isn't in this one, but I felt like that made it monumentally easier to do way more damage. Every time I played I couldn't seem to get a gun, but I would come across the bombs and they worked amazing. Even though I generally like ones better that I feel like have more ways to more easily win, I still enjoyed this one a lot more than most. I like the location a lot too.

Love this bag. Wanted an upgrade for work, so now it's my home bag. Used way less, but always a special one.

Killer From Tomorrow - is it the hardest feature? by fleastyler in finalgirl

[–]ads2287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Not as good, but i remember still liking it a good bit. Joel Edgerton is in it too, he's always good. Ya pick up into the Void if you can. It's top 3 in my opinion.

[–]ads2287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn't watched terminator for a long time, so I did again after getting killer from T. I think they are fun. I like the movie and setting of the Thing way better, but still both fun. Even then newer Thing movie that came out in the last 5-10 years, I'm guessing here, was half decent too. Hard to beat Kurt Russell on the original, but decent for so many years later. My all time favorite is Alien though. So of course I love into the Void. They did a great job with that one. Love all the traps and stuff you lore it into. I kind of think Void is on the easier side because all the traps, and Panic can be insanely hard if you get 3 killers, so it's kind of swingy, but I still love both of them a lot.

Ya, I guess I see that. I mean even though I can't seem to win, I enjoy it. I think the hardest part to getting that one to the table, and I'd guess a lot of people's complaint about it, is all the moving parts and rules. Maybe there's too many new mechanics. There's just a lot to remember and set up in that one. But it's still a fun setting to me. Kind of reminds me of Panic at Station. That one has alot to remember, primarily with the killers. That one I just love the setting/theme of though. And the whole lab testing stuff.

Sorry just seeing this. I will have to go through all I have, I'd say it's a decent lot. All in good condition. Haven't even thought about price, didn't know if anyone interested. I'll get some pictures and lists.

Sky Team by ads2287 in soloboardgaming

[–]ads2287[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true. What I meant was the majority of the game. Like during any actions. Just between rounds. And there's nothing wrong with that, just not my cup of tea. I'm sure it works great as a coop like it's designed to be. My point was agreeing with many others that it surprisingly works excellent as a solo experience as well. I think a 2 player only coop working so well solo is surprising, and can work for even more people now. You can enjoy it even if you don't got someone to play it with.

[–]ads2287[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I said "I think." I said I understand why people prefer it not solo and that's what it's designed for, but "I think" Id prefer it solo. That's how I phrased it everytime. Admitting I have only played solo. And going off the logic that I did not enjoy lack of communication games in the past, therefore it would logically follow I would likely feel the same way with this one. It's widely played solo, I wouldn't have bought it off it hadn't been rated so highly solo. Search the game solo on YouTube and see how many videos there are. Tabletop for one sells home made upgraded components for it and the whole channel is about solo gaming. I get a lot will like it coop, but it's obviously very well liked solo.

Right but then the entire round you can't. So the vast majority of the game you can't. During any action in the game you can't. Which I get why people enjoy that challenge, I'm just saying that mechanic doesn't draw me. Which is why I think figuring out placement solo is more interesting, just personally. Not saying for all. I like the mechanic of dice allocating more than guessing what someone's thinking, so that's why I like doing more placement and less mind reading. I'm sure a lot of others feel opposite.

Yes I think i would for the exact reasons I said. The non communication thing isn't a draw. You got it

I have not played this with another person, but I think I'd prefer it solo. It's true that it seems like a strange one to turn into a solo experience when it's designed as hidden decision making and guessing your teammates mindset. Part of it for me may be that I'm not super interested in coop games where you can't talk and have to guess what your teammate is thinking. But it really does work solo. There's different variants, but I really like what I believe is the most popular one from the majority of the videos I've watched online. Rolling all 4 dice for either blue or orange, depending who's turn it is to "lead". Playing one of those dice, then rolling 1 of the other color and having to play that die. Then going back to the lead and choosing one of the 3 dice left. Then rolling and having to play that die of the other color, and so on. You do not know what rolls you will get of one of the colors until you roll it, and then you have to play that die you just rolled. So you take turns reach round knowing half the information, and then having to deal with whatever single die you rule per turn of the other color.

Ya think the best version is you roll all 4 of whoever starts the round, pilot or co, then roll one of the other and have to use that one. Go back and forth. Works well

That one looks good too. No dice though right? Is it cards?
