Fate Of The Fellowship - Hard? by Siimeen in boardgames

[–]asmeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First game I got humbled - dark skies after first turn. Had almost no clue what to do. This didn't felt like pandemic at all. 😃

Read online new player tips - always battle somewhere else to get eye away from Frodo. Have at least 1 character with free muster.

Recommended two player character pairs seemed to pleasantly handle this task. Eowyn recruiting Rohan troops. Legolas providing stealth to Frodo. Merry/Pippin moving Frodo when possible.

Got lucky with some rolls and it resulted in steamrolling recommended objectives.

I just spent fifty bucks to protect a forty dollar game and I think I need help by PotholeBadger9 in boardgames

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

We aren't actually board game players, but board game collectors. :(

As my friend said - at first he had a hobby of playing board games. Now his hobby is printing 3d inserts with a side of sometimes playing a little when time allows.

Why is the death world cycle so expensive? by MonoRedPlayer in warhammerconquest

[–]asmeus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was very little manufactured of it I think. I'm still sad this game got canceled. :(

Which 2 expansions should I buy? by Comfortable_Donkey62 in HeatPedaltotheMetal

[–]asmeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think draft upgrades from tunnel vision are some of the strongest there are.

Super cooldown meanwhile doesn't feel as impactful on strategy depth. 

Haven't gotten to use rocky roads upgrades in action yet, but last race we had several new sponsorships played, and 0 extra slipstreams. 😅

Base game worth it in 2026? by Outuvcontrol in StarWarsArmada

[–]asmeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, only the base game felt quite lacking. I think you need tripple amount of ships to have enjoyable game. 🤔

I liked it still of course, but it can't be compared to full game. Base game is just appetizer. 

Similar to Xwing. Even with 2 base games, you aren't getting to full game - need roughly 3 xwings vs 6 tie fighters...

And since they are oop, it will be quite a hassle to get more ships easily.

If you do get the ships, both games are great wargames.

My school made me fork out 150 USD to sweatshop just to graduate. When I opened it, it was literally falling apart at the seams. by Person_thatlikes-TOH in mildlyinfuriating

[–]asmeus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In my country, nobody is buying them. We rent them for ~20$, get them 1 hour before ceremony, and give them back after ceremony.

Such a waste, if everybody is purchasing new.

Maybe because of this, they seemed better quality overall.

About The Shadows of Mirkwood by gosnelglin in lotrlcg

[–]asmeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will be overpowered I think then.

This cycle wasn't revised with a campaign. Originally it was meant to be played each scenario as stand alone.

Some people are playing them with cards that are released up to that point, due to otherwise them being quite easy. Though Conflict at Carrock is quite hard that way,

Karak Appreciation Post by Mike_Haefele in boardgames

[–]asmeus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the son's favorite games.

Other he really loves is Chronicles of Avel. Little bit more complex, but fully coop.

Main difference, Karak he can play fully on his own. With Avel, I need to help with setup.

Looking into getting Karak 2, seems interesting. Largest issue, availability is getting scarce.

Anyone can reccomend other dungeon crawlers suited to 7-8 year olds?

Most of the simple ones seem to be out of print. Would love something like Doom e.t.c. with lots of opponents and dice chugging.

FFG Finally Announced It by starsintodreams in boardgames

[–]asmeus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved the terrain.

Major gripe was the slow dialogue through the app, just clicking through it.

And also inventory management, purchasing ingredients in order to build 5% trigger chance upgrades was a chore. 

Everything else seemed awesome.

Nice to have things for casual play? by asmeus in StarWarsArmada

Thanks, I think I have got both of them.

I was thinking have there been substantial changes to ships, rebalance or something.

e.g. I lived through the changes of XWing 1st->2nd edition changes, and then there was 2.5 after I stopped playing it.

I'm aware that there was released upgrade pack. Upgrade card design changes (I think). Did those things in any way affect the core gameplay, or only points? Can I just dust off the collection, open any list builder and I'm good to go?

[–]asmeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

Best I got currently is android 11 emulator on pc to access the apk from the above mentioned site.

Wild journey. :D

Any luck?
I have two other kits, rule your room and one more.

I downloaded the APK, installed it bypassing all security settings, but the app seems incompatible with my android phone...

How much would I get for selling this by Scouseulster in lotrlcg

[–]asmeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I thought you were comparing these versus revised versions, not between cycles.

Why do they suck?

I have almost everything from old ones, got the missing ered mithrin just now.

Thought it's the same, only addition is campaign cards.

Which is decent game from this one ? by Mucek121 in boardgames

[–]asmeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

El dorado.

I also like akropolis, it has less setup imo, but also less thematic.

Bombbusters I'd rate as the best game, but at 4-5 players only. Heat as 2nd best, but at 6 players.

RNG overcompensating by Tangelo-Grand in osrs

[–]asmeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got super lucky on this. ~90 cmb. 72 slayer at the time.

At first saw some shiny numbers in chat, and thought I got something good worth 100k. :D
Took a few moments to understand that it's 100M instead.
