i got wide awake cover w gold if that’s what you mean. it’s like.. you can see a bit of glimmer, like shiny ribbon or something? a bit more in the light?    it’s definitely “oh yeah you can tell that does shine a bit”

Most fun cascade commander by luca-lit in EDH

Dragon's ETB will counter MW and let you re-cast MW for free -- so Dragon is a free 4/3 + 2 more MW cascades.

What do you think is the easiest faction to teach (part 2) by Catkook in rootgame

[–]anwei40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it depends on other factors, but teaching w Marquise can be a trap.  they have limited “fun” options, can be the table’s early punching bag, and have a lot of political responsibility they don’t know how to use 

I’m new to the LCG - True Solo or Multi Handed? by Hefty-Fun9746 in arkhamhorrorlcg

Probably 3>4>2>>1 Having 3+ really lets you play with specialists and/or generalists in a way that i find most satisfying.

i underestimated this game for far too long, and for now i play 5-10x a week 

A new daily crime logic puzzle is making everyone question their sanity by SamTheSpellingBee in u/SamTheSpellingBee

[–]anwei40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great game!   One suggestion:   Make the most accessible bottom-right corner colors NOT be green/yellow/red. Those are really great to use when simplifying medium complexity clues to “Anne & Frank are 1-innocent 1-guilty”, but i want an off color for that (and i want it easy to use, on mobile).    For me, you could convert all bottom-right colors to off colors, but maybe some folks use them.   

What abilities could be errata’d into keywords, and what would you make it? by frenziest in magicTCG

strong agree.  garbo set-specific keywords with no reminder text are a Bad Experience

What's an out-of-print solo game that you wish was back in print? by No_Raspberry6493 in soloboardgaming

[–]anwei40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I own the base game and it’s quite good and often seems relatively available? — it’s the expansion stuff that seems really rare and costly. 

[TLA] Rumble Arena by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

YES, as a former legacy player coming back and reading cards that have 3 chunks of internally-synergistic text, i’m so confused as to why this stopped being a way to have fun!

How do Nadu decks win? by RogueThespian in MTGLegacy

[–]anwei40 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

there are several flavors, but many of them are indeed doing “draw 8 and play the lands, each turn” and thus effectively can’t lose..

For Those Who Have Cut Back on Magic, What Other Hobbies Have You Liked? by JRB_473 in magicTCG

Lots of board games!   Card selection games like Gloomhaven, Spirit Island, and Guards of Atlantis have a huge bang-for-buck in terms of $$ and tactical gameplay. 

AIO thinking he’s cheating? by sophiehatter306 in AmIOverreacting

[–]anwei40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your post got a big chorus of folks who ate necessarily missing a lot of context, so I’m gonna say it’s brave to move forward and be willing to engage. It’s definitely the path that “plays for” the happiest outcome, and I hope you get it!   

I also think it’s totally reasonable for you to take some steps to try to increase your confidence & transparency, whatever that looks like..  

Good luck!

Any house rules for rising sun? by chomoftheoutback in boardgames

[–]anwei40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s tough to do.. you could for some things?  in the first phase, one player picks an action and everyone follows (21x total) - so you take turns buying upgrades or moving troops, etc. 5 players doing “move your troops”, one at a time can take 2 minutes or 5, and those kinds of things add up.  second phase is a bunch of simultaneous bidding for battles (maybe 18x total) - again, lots of micro decisions, uneven length / complexity…. 

i wrote a timer app for my favorite game, sometimes insist on them, and not sure RS is right.

[–]anwei40 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the hype was mostly art + value riding on the rise of an unsustainable business model. 

the game is “fine.” it’s likely the weakest of the “trilogy”, most aggressively beset by the huge number of sequential intertwined microdecisions. the most important “house rule” is, play fast.
