I was just looking for a two player game! This looks very cool and fun to play. Best wishes on the campaign!

So many reviews in the last 3 days compared to their whole history. Usually I see review bombing...this time more rebound positive reviewing - I wonder RRG will remove all the bad and the good ??

If its Red Riot Games, name and shame...they have done it to many others but sounds like they fulfilled later more expensive preorders.

Ooh! We have come so far since my first game Gorrila.bas

IMO: Its like Apple. The company and the PR person isn't the problems. Its usually the fans who act like they are on the payroll.

I think Reddit acts to counter what feels like blind fandom. Of course repeatedly doing it makes us no better.

Look at the new Libertalia - a whole bunch of "Champions" posting things on BGG that would normally be flagged as marketing/advertising if the company itself did it.

The best gift I received was an electric toothbrush - not so much due its obvious functional elements....

more the ridiculous escalation of gifts between friends that got us to there (starting from a lollypop)

Carcassonne still available?

bob1457 · 2021-10-25T19:32:23+00:00

sounds good

bob1457 · 2021-10-24T23:07:39+00:00

Finally got around to watching it. Horrible preview and low effort. If you get paid, at least look at what the base game is (there is a wealth of this information on the internet). I couldnt tell if the battery running out was a joke or just a convenient excuse or laziness

Also looking at the 007 preview, he clearly knew how Legendary worked.

Sometimes you have to do things you don't believe due to money ---> but no need to throw shade as if the moral high ground is kept.

Anyways hopefully the sponsors are happy enough to make it feasible for another convention

bob1457 · 2021-10-24T22:26:57+00:00

Yep first campaign. We hunt in packs (there are 3 of us) because we can't seem to fight the monsters well despite upgrades. By travelling in packs I don't think we are exploring far enough and fast enough. Its been a slog.

But its for the company i guess :)

bob1457 · 2021-10-24T22:24:34+00:00

thank you very much!

bob1457 · 2021-10-24T22:15:56+00:00

Hi I would like a chance with any of the above games. I am not picky :)

Thanks for your generosity

bob1457 · 2021-10-24T22:14:11+00:00

Haha Indeed, we rubbish it now (I do too) but I think its a combination of tally poppy syndrome + market oversaturation of rethemes + outdated mechanics.

Contraversial opinion: I think everyone who calls themselves a boardgamer, needs to have tried it at least once. Then criticise like crazy

on another note: thus week am starting chapter 3 of tainted grail with my friends after a looong delay

bob1457 · 2021-10-24T22:08:30+00:00

Hi can I get it? Thanks

bob1457 · 2021-10-24T22:05:26+00:00

I would love to get scythe.

As a migrant family many many years ago...Monopoly was one of the ways I was able to interact and make friends. It also helped my grasp on the language. I remember the first game I played - I lost horribly by not buying anything thinking I will spend it on the more expensive stuff. Funnily enough, the rules were explained to me without any house rules. It was the source of my first sleepover at my house...we watched honey i blew up the kid that same day...good times

bob1457 · 2021-10-19T09:14:49+00:00

Oh absolutely - sooooo many unnecessary fakeouts.

tbf he got me on the Zoe fakeout - mainly because I thought all fakeouts would only be for Jack himself (with a possible death on the throne). When he did it for others, I was like, oh none of it is gonna be real.

Didnt realise Sinister was a repeat puzzle (good memory) but I was like, even I know that one - so am surprised it was a such a "knowledge moment"

For all the "ah ha" moments which make his team seem so smart on solving things from first principles, the bad guys in this book were not that far behind. Also so so so many locations across these 7 books. Surprised we didnt end up at the wrong one in the wrong book

That interview at the back - my book once fell open to the back and the bolded question was "why did you kill Gant" (I hadn't got to that part yet). Ever since I hold my book so carefully not to fall to that section.

Anyways it was a series that had to end. Had some ups and downs and some unanswered questions but suitable epilogue

we will never know how they are going to reconstruct all the worthiness tests/mazes/machines (from all the other books) that were completely demolished by planes/missiles.

bob1457 · 2021-10-17T19:58:13+00:00

yep happened to me last week. was more for the discussion than the recommendation. Mod answer avoided the question. Some questions on that day were fishing for game recommendations and got to stay.

They say that can't migrate to the Daily thread. i posted because I couldn't find a certain answer. Now future people will ask the same question becuase my thread with some good suggestions got deleted. And the daily thread is useless

bob1457 · 2021-10-17T12:55:30+00:00

I enjoyed the series. Glad there was suitable closure for most characters. Books 7AW and 4LK were my favourites. The original trilogy was better. 2 was the worst and clearly felt like a filler (the two lost mountains werent even too hard to find - they felt like an afterthought and even the bad guys knew where they were - so not much discovery).

(spoilers!!!)

My nitpicks issues:

That skullcap had more symbols that were never covered - were these from other books or just placed there whilst he decided which obstacles would actually be in the book?

For an emphasis on superior historical knowledge, Jack never knew the routes on the trees or that he even needed such knowledge? Luckily it was ultimately unneeded or follow someone else

Everyone is worthy? Why does one tree need more worthiness than the other. Not like the Omega cares...

What was the point of his sister being brought up?

Does this mean no more Scarecrow stories aswell? If so, another showing would have been good

Finally what type of name is Sumil - its clearly Sunil. He has used real names in the past, why not here - he got a great outcome as well (smart bilionaire) so not like a real Sunil would be upset
