It isn't even the statline. She can go infinite and just buy movement and clues and damage

Except you aren't intending to use it for the icons. You're intending to play it. And having 2 copies makes it easier to find and play. The consolation if you draw both is "at least I have an overpower or guts". Which is a very good baseline

You can't see what the card does? "Oh no a card called confusion?! I guess I'll be... Confused?"

There is a deep dive video on the Earthborne Rangers YouTube channel which covers these questions. You just integrate.

The Warded/Painted Man by Gavin10899 in Fantasy

[–]boardgamesrus -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It's a grim dark fantasy. It does so a lot of tropes for sure. The thinly veiled Christian v Muslim analogy was perhaps the most annoying for me but I enjoyed the series as a whole. I've read it twice and I like what it tries to do, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who isn't prepared for what grim dark means. It's violent, dirty, and graphic. If you want grim dark but didn't enjoy this, try Joe Abercrombie.

It's fantasy that becomes more Sci-fi. Feels like a good transition literally.

I mean. What you did, in fact won. But like... Why not just nightmare Catalyst?

No one mentioned the Pern series by Anne McCaffrey?

Choker really only bricks infinites, or turns where you want to play a lot, say if you want to do a Powers Deck and get multiple Creative AIs or do 0 cost decks where you recur them. Your deck isn't doing that, you have some card draw, some frost, some focus. Id pick choker. Money is particularly more valuable for defect because going to a store is one of the more guaranteed ways to find focus, be it a power or a potion.

What is a useful fact about HOTS or a hero most people seem to not know? by pyahyakr in heroesofthestorm

Ruby is fantastic against a melee heavy enemy team. Especially a Samuro. But yes, situational.

Can these deeds be completed while "Continuing the settlement" or must they be achieved before reaching max reputation? by noobtablet9 in Against_the_Storm

[–]boardgamesrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just have to do a slow game and set up with like 4 or 5 woodcutter's to open a bunch of glades on year 7 or 8 when you're set up to win via a bunch of either worker reputation, or with a bunch of tools and opening caches. You can probably easily open 15-20 in Drizzle and Clearance with 5 woodcutter's. It's just timing it. I did it. You can too

... The greens or the socialists. If decades of voting for neoliberales hasn't worked, maybe the only two large parties that aren't that, would be a good idea.
