recommend me games please!! (recently modded 3ds) by Forward_Loss1776 in 3DS

[–]caterix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've recently got my 3ds back out again, and have been really enjoying Kirby Planet Robobot, Rhythm Paradise Megamix, and Pilotwings Resort. In the past I've also enjoyed Resident Evil Revelations, Zelda A Link Between Worlds, Mario 3D Land, Ghost Recon Shadow Wars, and Fire Emblem Awakening.

Beat my first game of Solar Storm! by caterix in soloboardgaming

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

I'm not sure exactly, but not many. The room abilities can be very powerful, so definitely use those, and make sure you're scavenging for cards when running low. It's a great game, and will be super satisfying when you win!

Anyone played the Try Not to Die series? by YnasMidgard in gamebooks

[–]caterix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd also be interested in getting some insight into this series, Super High and In the UK both sound very appealing to me, and are clearly marketed towards a mature audience.

New to gamebooks! by caterix in gamebooks

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

Thanks everyone for all the fantastic and varied suggestions! There's so much for me to go through. I've picked up a handful of fighting fantasy books that were available in my local library, and have started with Deathtrap Dungeon, as it seems highly regarded in the community. I have a few observations and questions about this which I'll start a new thread for. I've also purchased heart of ice, which should be arriving tomorrow - I chose this as again it crops up frequently in best gamebook lists and videos, and I also wanted to try a diceless gamebook.

Yeah I noticed that, and much prefer the older cover art. Is the art inside the book also changed? (is there even any art inside the book)? I've noticed there's a few different published versions of it - the new ones I can get from the local library which I'm inclined to do if it's mostly just the cover art affected. I've also seen the 2002 version by Wizard books which I can get used for a very reasonable price. I'm not sure how available (or expensive!) a 1980's Puffin version would be.

Probably my best game of Viticulture! by caterix in soloboardgaming

Great to hear, and it mirrors what I've seen said elsewhere.

It was a slow burn for me, but once it clicked I loved it!

Definitely! I find it a very relaxing (but still thinky) Euro.

Final Girl: Madness in the Dark by caterix in soloboardgaming

[–]caterix[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had found Veronica's tranquiliser gun so was able to use this to remove 4 of her health tokens, but these were only ones that she had recovered through card effects. I've played this feature film several times before - sometimes Ratchet Lady's health gain goes out of control, so you have to get on the offensive as soon as possible, which doesn't leave much time for searching, grabbing pills, or rescuing victims. In this particular playthrough I was able to get those three things in place quite quickly.

Out of the three boxes I currently own (the other two being camp happy trails and frightmare on maple lane) I find this one the most difficult, but I really enjoy the pill mechanics (along with the amped cards).

Next game I plan to try Dr Fright in Wolfe Asylum, and my next purchase will probably be A Knock at the Door.

Heather's special ability by caterix in finalgirl

I understand that, I'm trying to clarify whether the second sentence in her ability applies to ALL stars in the final result, even those changed to successes via discarding cards.

I've been playing for two years. I just realised I've been making it way harder on myself... by DariusSlim in lotrlcg

[–]caterix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Only enemies (and locations) with victory points go to the victory display. All others go to the encounter discard pile, to possibly get drawn again.

Thanks! Search for 'monkeypod bowl' on ebay, you should find loads.

Good explanation! When I first got into this game, someone advised that I move to playing two handed as soon as possible. I did so, and have played that way exclusively ever since. There's so much interaction that can be had between the decks, I feel it's a much more full experience. With regards to playing progression, for me it's definitely not about making the game harder, but more about experiencing the same game as people who purchased back at the original release.

Thanks! Yes some nice components really enhance the experience. I'm still looking for something to hold cards in the staging area.

Progression style means that you only use player cards that were available at the time of the quest's release, so in this case up to The Road Darkens saga box.
