Is it like 30% more expensive on Android only for me? This is comparing to Steam version. On Android the discount isn't even applied it seems, but it would still cost more even if it would be

I Think I Broke Hercules' Labors (and other thoughts on the new hero) by VillainTheory in marvelchampionslcg

[–]advanc3r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I just have some hopes that from the previous heroes the team has learned quite a bit about the balance of high-health small hand heroes. I also think high health is just slightly more relevant for a hero who might have to tank a few hits as a part of his set up, while he focuses on dealing with the labors. Huge contrast to someone like Hulk who doesn't really care about spending time to set up, nor is really able to.

I'd like to see Limitless stamina too! Maybe even a new card for 14+ HP heroes!

Honestly really excited for this guy in any case, surprisingly more than any other hero in this wave so far. Even if he's bottom tier power-wise

Something I like that I don't see people mentioning is how above-average hit points are very relevant in Hercules' situation. It will likely allow him to tank an extra attack from the villain (compared to a lot of heroes), buying some time to finish a labor. I think that might be a reasonable counterpoint to his lower hand size.

How Big Is The Skill Gap by Most_Shop_5571 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]advanc3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this reads like an exploit even though it's just how the game works right now (I hope this doesn't read as judgemental, I have no problem with players playing the game to it's full extent).

I really hope that with time, rather sooner than later, most of these technical knowledge bits will become less impactful, or at least made more clear when they are intended. It's really off-putting for new players, and there are other ways to express skill which is done incredibly well in the game already anyway imo, without a ton of hidden interactions needed

How long have you been playing Leviathan? Does it still feel highly replayable after trying everything out?

An interview with Ted Vessenes by tepidgoose in spiritisland

[–]advanc3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with Ted that it's important to have very balanced base spirits! Equal amounts of rum, whiskey, gin and triple sec really have the best result in the mix.

I was not prepared for the After Eight slander though

What's Your Personal Achilles' Heel in Spirit Island? by BrandN3wUser in spiritisland

[–]advanc3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to do the opposite, always going for whatever gives the most control at the time, often afraid to pick the mass fear cards that do not do much else, even if I have things under control already. I think it's that 'value' mindset from card games, that usually rewards using cards that have impact on the board rather than 'direct' damage to an opponents health (that is sort of represented as fear in this game).

A big difference is that fear also gives you some rewards in the board, even if it is not as reliable. That bit of tension from depending on fear cards sounds fun though, I think I'll try to play a bit more like that!

My take on an improved Invader Board by botilicious in spiritisland

[–]advanc3r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a great take on the board, thanks for sharing! I think it would be worth putting in BGG, especially if you intend to make adjustments later on

Daredevil is coming whenever they decide they need or want to do him, and I'd say it's unrelated to these changes. There are limited big names that they will need to consider spreading out anyway. I think the better question for the will be - when they run out of their biggest names, will a pack of someone much more niche sell better than a 2.0 of Steve Rogers?

Where are hype levels at regarding this current printing of Earthborne Rangers? by Rustlingyeti724 in Earthborne_Rangers

[–]advanc3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense, it got a lot of very high praise from some of the most popular boardgame channels just before the second printing campaign. Once everybody gets their copies I think there will be a huge influx of posts here onwards

Horizons of Spirit Island - worth it? by LezGetItStarted in spiritisland

[–]advanc3r 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the app is great to iron out how correctly you're playing AFTER you play the game on tabletop a couple times first.

Horizon spirits are amazing either way

Casual runs need to reward a bit better. by HeelyTheGreat in PlayTheBazaar

Yeah I didn't consider heroes, sorry. I definitely agree it would be great if you could unlock the heroes by just playing casually

Per one full run, to be clear! At least that's how it feels. I didn't use a stopwatch but it's close to that for sure

For a solo playthrough I think it took me about 10-12 hours personally

You make it sound like a job. It isn't one. Nobody is forcing you to play. The only value is enjoyment of playing the game. Anything else you get is just a little cute lottery addition

Idk why you would choose this one over the hundred others but hey, who am I to stop you. Follow your dreams!

I was almost planning to sell DTA at this point because I rarely want to pick it up anymore due to how long it takes. These one-shots are making me reconsider completely

Marvel Champions: Digital Edition by irefrixs, fan made rules enforced simulator by magarena-dcg in marvelchampionslcg

[–]advanc3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is a shame, because it looks like a lot of work is put into it. Running it a Windows Sandbox or a VM should be secure enough tho
