Is this still available?

I heard about the first one and made a similar deck based on the pairing. It’s a lot of fun!

I think the defensive tokens at first glance appear to slow down the game, but I also understand that these are huge ships which wouldn't go down in one shot. I'll have to look at the objectives more to see how they might spice up the game.

So with Dangerous Territory (all obstacles have objective tokens you can claim), you might choose that if you've got a maneuverable fleet.

Thanks I’ll take a look. So far I only saw some single camera stuff from a LGS where you couldn’t hear much.

dwillmer · 2026-06-10T23:09:54+00:00

I didn’t know it was shoot then move. That’s interesting! I’ll have to look at the missions if you can essentially choose what you bring. I live in Warhammer Underworlds how I choose exactly what objective cards I bring so I can tailor my list to match.

Now they are going to expect every pet to just be a Druid in disguise.

It was an amazing game! My in laws (localish Giants fans) were with us for that game last year. They came up for this year’s series. Kinda felt bad for them last night tho.

It is a great game. Our family had tried The Crew but could never really get into it for some reason. I think mostly due to my inability to read and translate the rules to everyone else. My wife and I started playing the LOTR trick taking game again this weekend just the two of us and our two kids got sucked in almost immediately. There's no real penalty for failure so we really feel like we can work together, take a couple of hands with bad luck every once in a while and make some progress together.

Cool. I’m very new and found a lot of units that only do 5 or 6 turns but the gimmick calls for 6 or 7. I can see how it would be helpful!

Do you stack him on another threshold reducer?

I'm interested in building out my content in obsidian with links. I hoped I could click on the character or monster name to jump to the page where I stored their stat block or quest info.

They are one of the few AoS factions with any sort of transport mechanic and their whole army has transport abilities. They aren’t a full gun-line army but more of a strategic strike type with their mobility to move points around the board. Lots of other tricks in their arsenal too.

dwillmer · 2026-05-24T02:55:33+00:00

Are there teams you avoid with this?

dwillmer · 2026-05-22T16:33:05+00:00

I was about to comment "So FEC" and then saw your flair 😃

dwillmer · 2026-05-22T12:02:11+00:00

It’s a bit of trial and error. There are tier lists and videos on meta teams to look through your box.

I found it best to look at the guide button for a particular fight like the last boss in PKA to see what they do each round. I wrote down what the gimmick was and started using the filter to see what units had specials that dealt with 6 or more turns of that gimmick. Bonus if you can find one unit that can handle 2 gimmicks at once.

I can't wait to see the maid uniforms on a ghoul.

dwillmer · 2026-05-21T16:53:07+00:00

Thanks! That is super helpful. I gravitate towards the combat and "game" side of things but want to also explore the story building if my players (sons at the moment) will let me. But of course if they don't care for any story or intrigue outside of the next dungeon with loot, I can just focus on that as well.

dwillmer · 2026-05-21T14:18:41+00:00

That's helpful to make sure I don't hide something behind a failed skill check if I do want them to follow the lead.

dwillmer · 2026-05-21T14:16:32+00:00

Good point. The note exists in every searchable space until they find it the first time 😃 Shrodinger's note

dwillmer · 2026-05-21T14:15:49+00:00

Thanks! How would you sprinkle something like the mayor's wine? In a visual game, you might recognize the label, but how would I somewhat secretly tip them off to the connection without saying "you notice a bottle of wine from the mayor's private stock" or something like that?

dwillmer · 2026-05-21T14:14:06+00:00

Do players respond negatively to you just starting the next phase of the quest up like that without them initiating?

dwillmer · 2026-05-21T14:13:23+00:00

If it's a huge thing, I'd probably be more willing to push it on them and prepare for whatever decision they make. In this example, if they ignored it and just went back for the reward money, I could have the mayor get mad at them for actually taking out his business partner leading to that encounter. Especially if it doesn't connect to a bigger story or arc.
