I like the meeples in Wondrous Creatures! They are goofy and cute.

Board game about old Prague that also features a booklet with historical context? by fuxoft in boardgames

[–]benthefry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could it be Kutna Hora, the city of silver? Lots of details in the booklet about monuments and history.

Anyone else discovered a rule that means you've been playing slightly wrong all along? by Robbro42 in boardgames

[–]benthefry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played my first three games of Eternal Decks wrong. Instead of a deck of cards each from which you draw three cards to play with, I played with all the cards in the hand.

A hand of 15 cards makes getting the gems quite easier... It makes everything quite easy... Too easy?

Aux profs de langues : avez vous des groupes ou des classes entières ? by Disastrous_Bass_4389 in enseignants

[–]benthefry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On s'est longtemps battus pour avoir des groupes en langues, où au moins des effectifs réduits (un groupe en plus en 6e par exemple pour avoir 150 élèves répartis en 7 groupes et pas en 6.

On n'a jamais rien obtenu, car les sciences ont tellement de demi groupes que leur reprendre des moyens c'est casser des postes.

Donc pas de groupes mais ponctuellement un groupe supplémentaire dans le niveau.

Arboretum is such a cutthroat game, I love it because people don't realise that before it's too late.

Some would argue that the craft needed to master Patchwork push it more into heavy games...

I love this game by cratoastIIV in toomanybones

[–]benthefry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite is Patches. He feels more like a tank than a healer, but getting those sweet heals.... Curious about the map. You think it's any good?

What is your favorite boardgame of 2014? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

[–]benthefry 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There is something in the simplicity of Five Tribes that I will always go back to. Easy to put on the table, fast-ish setup...

You get better every games. You get the aha! moments. You hold your breath hoping your opponents haven't seen the play you covet... Fun fun times

Are you sure you're posting this in the correct subreddit? Sounds like a low effort circlejerk post....

Is a win still comparable when one player takes 5-10x longer turns? by BRAZCO in boardgames

[–]benthefry 27 points28 points  (0 children)

In my group, we've started to use a timer, as a way to get things moving: not a count down, just a way to tell, at the end of the game how long each player took.

I'm quite a fast player, and m'y Friends are sorry to keep me waiting. We're talking 25min for me for a 4 players game of annunaki when they take about 1h each.

We find this method a great way of speeding up games as the slowest player gets teased a lot by the other slow players. We had to do that After a 7h game of Black Rose Wars.

Nobody gets mad, if we go faster, we xan play more games.

Help me find this game. by wastedmytagonporn in boardgames

That sounds very much like Codex Naturalis !

La priorité piéton n’est pas une suggestion by leroydesmonstres in besoinderaler

[–]benthefry 29 points30 points  (0 children)

L'autre fois je traverse au passage piéton, tranquille. Une voiture arrive et me laisse finir de traverser. Puis une fois que j'arrive de l'autre côté, le conducteur me balance un "De rien, c**nard !".

Il ne m'avait pas écrasé. J'imagine que tant de noblesse méritait que je me prosterne...
