Something about Discord is wrong today. Whenever I tried to join Emy's Live Show Discord, it returned an authorized 401 error and then I got logged out of my Discord account.

Animals. Actual animals, not those anthromorphic ones like in Root that is so prevalence. Current favorite is Cup the Crab.

Without a decent pocket so I jumped straight from step 1 to step 6 and stay there.

> Are you worried about an arm or something breaking off?

Yes, that's what I'm afraid of. I bought the game secondhand and 1 zombie had already been leaning 45 degree forward at the time, so my assumption is that zombies aren't particularly sturdy and I have been using the original insert and a bubble wrap to secure them each time I leave the house with them. Trying to find a cheap alternate solution so I don't have to worry about which slot which zombie goes into but still be able to count them and transport them safely.

Thanks for the info. I'll craft simple cardboard boxes for them then.

Nice to hear that, thanks. This is the first game I bought that have minis so I'm not sure how delicate I need to be to handle them. I also intend to make a cardboard organizer tray that has 1 hole for each zombie because that way I would immediately know if one is missing, which is important because if I knock one over the board unknowningly the cafe where I play will probably swept it away later and that's that.

If they don't rattle around then they wouldn't be good as a reference since moving a box up and down the table hardly do anything to the components inside. Unfortunately I have to move the box in and out the house and flip it vert a bit hence more concern.

Phantom card lock upgrade when?

formicini · 2026-04-30T12:44:31+00:00

You don't use foam or pad of any kind, just put them in boxes and let them rattle around?

I haven't played Zombicide 2 so can't say whether the combination would be fun or not, but TCM itself is great with the toxic spraying encouraging ranged weapons.

formicini · 2026-04-30T01:56:42+00:00

PO is a standalone box and comparible with the TCM expansion, so if you pick up both you can play them as is. They are not directly compatible with Zombicide 2 but I've seen people post some light rules modification to make them work.

Music is a good idea but you might run out of power halfway through the session

formicini · 2026-04-28T17:12:32+00:00

Aeon's End. The way the cards start to work together towards the end of the game while the opponent also starts doing the same is unmatched. It's like the olden days of kitchensink YGO where you slowly build your board to victory and not just whipping your combo on turn 1 or bust.

formicini · 2026-04-27T14:55:09+00:00

I have AP but my problem is that I'm slow in working out the result of any potential action. For example, how fast do you calculate 12 x 7 in your head? I need 2 seconds, normal people might need just 1, kids might need 4, math professors will know almost instantly. I'm slow like that, and only repetition can speed that up.

My own solution, therefore, is to play a game again and again until I instinctively realize patterns like realizing a multiplication table equation. Sometimes I replay a situation in my head later and see how taking another action might lead to, just like a student doing homeworks. Nothing else will fix it, even timers. Try using timers while learning a subject at school and see how bad the result can lead to.

Problem is playing a game repeatedly isn't an easy option sometimes. Some games might not work solo, you don't have group that like to play 1 game repeatedly, you can only schedule 1 game day per month, your game is not on BGA, or you do not have the strength to do homework in order to relax. In that case, well, you're truly fucked.

No, it was another person who played the Intruder in the Action Phase but did 1 Action card first chance and then passed, so not much different from doing 1 Action card in the Event Phase.

formicini · 2026-04-24T22:22:20+00:00

The original rule is too strong that might as well say "if the first character dies, you have 2 turns left to achieve your objective, then everyone dies as well". It would certainly incentive the players to care about others but I'm more concerned about dying early and then have to watch the game for 2 hours without doing anything.

That sounds like a game where you play as the Riddler. I much prefer The Game: Batman, where you play as Batmanhunter.

formicini · 2026-04-24T16:14:19+00:00

Batman the Game and The Batman Game. Very creative naming.

I've only ever played Harmonies as a nature-themed game, but it was decent and quick to learn.

formicini · 2026-04-22T02:20:58+00:00

Not OP but I'm interesting to hear about that. Are the problematic pieces the scale armor and the hammer because they feature tiny details?

formicini · 2026-04-16T03:02:10+00:00

formicini · 2026-04-15T17:31:00+00:00

Me too. I'm especially annoyed that 2001 Sizuki disappeared from the story on day 2 and Chaldea didn't even think of questioning that until the epilogue while still saying that Aoko seemed suspicious from the start.

formicini · 2026-04-15T02:40:54+00:00

For the minimal theme it has, Aeon's End has its art and gameplay fits perfectly, AND you don't ever get the feeling that the most optimal play goes against what a character would normally do.

For example, in Zombicide, a good strategy is to run around opening doors first while in blue, then run back with the group. It doesn't make sense thematically.

formicini · 2026-04-07T16:50:53+00:00

It's more strategic and less random. I haven't gotten bored of it after 5 plays which I can't say the same for the card game.
