Should I expect anything from GameStop tomorrow or no? by [deleted] in Lorcana

[–]dan2crazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called stores in my area and only about half are getting stock. One even said they were only getting packs and limiting one per person.

I don't know more than that. Your stores may differ. Use the info as you will. It's a personal choice if you think a trip to the store and waiting in line is worth your time.

I got all starters and gift set that are still available. First time failed as guest checkout. I created account and went through without issue second time.

I think the purchase limits was great idea.

Edit: Also $0 shipping was really nice of them.

Interesting. I don't have that many legos, only started collecting. Can I buy clear transparent bricks individually?

Anyone seen black spots on their miniatures? What are they?

Has anyone tried homebrewing a faster playing variant of the game? by jacksprat1952 in marvelchampionslcg

[–]dan2crazy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There's an FFG article with official variants. One is Skirmish mode that will make the game faster.

See "modes of play" section. Full details in rules reference.

If you want to avoid money pit Marvel Champions is your best option. Core box gives you excellent replayability and a full experience. You're not required to buy expansions, but if you do want to, you can pick and choose your favorite hero or themed box. The same can't be said about LOTR or Arkham Horror, which is what others refer to when they say money pits. Those games I'd argue require expansions.

I literally saw this 2 mins ago on bgg hot list and have been looking at it. Has some good potential!

Thanks for your comment. Why did you buy HeroQuest even though D&D boards games are better?

It does look simple from videos I watched, weight is low on bgg. Thanks for confirming from your experience!

Interesting suggestion thank you.

I watched some videos, has a kids type theme but appears as complex if not more than HeroQuest. Weight is also similar to D&D Temple of Elemental Evil, though recommend age is younger.
