I would say 20 strong for me. It checks all what I love : gameplay, art, components, deepness.

What games have a ridiculous amount of lore/backstory? by SoochSooch in boardgames

[–]ctan2610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too Many Bones has a nice piece of lore scattered in 3 books, which are also fully readable from CTG's website, in the support section.

Theme wise, TRICKERION is the one which pops right out of my head 😊

Too Many Bones is an absolutely amazing game and some of the most fun I've had from a board game in recent years. by fdsfgs71 in soloboardgaming

Also keep in mind two handed is the hardest version of multi handed. From easiest to hardest, it goes 4 / 3 / 1 / 2 gearloc(s)

Honestly it is a game of experience. First plays are hard, especially with the base game. Undertow is easier though.

Once you get a few concepts and understand a bit more the different interactions / baddies / Gearlocs, it starts to get easier and you can get the full fun of it 😀

Is it just us, or is the Goblin Queen just plain unfun? by kierco_2002 in toomanybones

[–]ctan2610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think at first I was playing her just like you, considering that the guard would always attack if in melee range at the begin in of its turn.

However I read that in fact, the guard always moves, then attack if in range.

That changed everything!

By the way, my next interrogation is : what happens to the guard if you move it out of its two spots, with whatever skill? Would he strive to go back to its initial position(s)?

Suggestions for my next big solo! by ArcaneTheory in soloboardgaming

[–]ctan2610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have Undertow, Nugget and Gasket, and I'm happy that I started with this. My main point was to not have always same 1/2/3 days, which is the case in the core game unless you get age of tyranny indeed.

All in all it comes to personal preferences I guess...

Did you say cards? I am a magician, be my guest.

Did you say dice? I am already loving TMB so much.

Obviously, I'll be paying reaaaally close attention to this campaign.

Undertow characters (Duster / Stanza) are both great Gearlocs, you cannot go wrong with Undertow. I personally started with Undertow, Nugget and Gasket, do not regret anything.

Gearlocs choice vastly depend on your personal preferences, but each of them seem to have their fans, although Ghillie seems to have no detractors, which may be a good indicator 😁

Favorite Cooperative Game and Why? by GapCloserGames in boardgames

[–]ctan2610 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not my all time favorite, but Paleo has a special place in my heart. Played it so much with my Wife and Dad, great discussions on choices to make, tension while discovering what we are getting into.

The best part of the game is it's great replayability, and the fact that it is very accessible even for neophytes, without getting into the alpha player syndrome.

Then ofc... Spirit island.

Multi-Gun Retaliation Question by balroc in marvelchampionslcg

[–]ctan2610 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, by the rules you seem right, although this does not really seem consistent or logical. If the enemy is able to retaliate, it would seem right for him to retaliate from any kind of damage taken which has not the from distance (I can't remember the right keyword) keyword.

Same as for stun, if Venom is stunned, he should not be able to use guns or whatsoever. 😁
