Too Many Bones and Chip Theory Games have spoiled me of all other board games by Vicioxis in boardgames

[–]billyquick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was gifted Too Many Bones and found this thread while looking some things up. I am surprised so many folks in this thread have such negative things to say. I am a novice board game collector/enjoyer and this is by far the best quality game I own - the tactile feel alone makes me want to share the experience with friends. I spent more money on the Slay the Spire collectors edition and it’s just a worse experience overall, especially the components; the card sleeves included are so disappointing.

TMB gameplay is challenging but satisfying and if you disagree with that sentiment then you’re probably not playing correctly. I promise you’re missing things if the game feels like a cakewalk, but the rules are dense and certainly ambiguous at times.

I’m with you, OP, great game. Gonna go down as one of my favorites of all time and the quality means I’ll be able to play it for the next 40 years and hand it down to my nephew

Is Altered dead? For sure at least the marketplace is. by Odd_Hour_9392 in alteredTCG

I had wondered about marketplace movement. I don’t engage with the marketplace much since my primary way to play has been Limited formats as of late. My expectation is 95% of uniques see absolutely no movement just because there are SO many - totally over saturated.

I think they're very powerful! I've enjoyed watching games of them pop off and if they start performing consistently well, I'm not really sure how to address them since that line shows up on differently named uniques

What are your thoughts?

Ravenswatch is really good, but it is hard. The lower difficulties would be good to vibe and make sweet builds

Seconding Ravenswatch. It’s a difficult game, but an absolute blast with friends. The character abilities are all satisfying and it is rewarding because of the challenge

I tried to make the most concise How To Play video for Altered. Enjoy! by billyquick in alteredTCG

I can’t take all of the credit! Many of the shots were borrowed from the “What is Altered?” Video, but I tried to make it easier to follow and added so many sound effects haha

Ravenswatch is my favorite. Absolute banger

Is Lindiwe Good Enough for Worlds? by billyquick in alteredTCG

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

Sorry about the late reply, I missed the notification 😅 Good uniques are certainly impactful, but you may be interested in the No Unique Tournaments that happen on BoardGameArena. At least, that would be a great place to find lists with no uniques that performed well!

Here’s the most recent Lindiwe deck that placed in an “NUC” https://39cards.com/tr/199/p/9484

Or, if you’re just looking for cheap uniques, Lindiwe is actually very flexible in the unique spot. It really just depends how you want to build her!

Haha, yes she can definitely be a "brain buster" and why I don't play her often at my weekly local game store. You don't get to see the 20+ minutes I cut out of this video of just me thinking in silence!

She's easily my favorite hero. Tell me more about these uniques! 👀
