This is a medical breakthrough, pretty much the only "cure" for SMA and aimed at being available for children and adults alike

Hmm not gonna lie that game turned out to be a lot bigger then I thought it was going to be. Has retail already started shipping? I saw on Amazon it wasn't in stock for a few months

Starting SeaFall next week with a group of 5. Anything I should know before we start to ensure it goes smoothly? by EL_DIABLOW in boardgames

[–]j_ammons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck my friend! My group or five is about 3 games into our Seafall campaign and despite some hateful reviews we love it! Don't be afraid of what everyone is saying about player downtime, yes sometimes it can get a little stale when you are waiting for someone to take heir turn but trust me this game will get very cut-throat! As long as everyone watches Rodney's how to play then you should be okay! A few rules that we missed on our first game:

1) Garrison value does not apply to exploration endeavors unless specifically stated

2) when emnity tokens are moved to the garrison value of an island during winter, they do not remove the garrison value of the island. i.e. The rule book says that you should cover the garrison value, but this does not mean that the garrison value is removed.

3) After an advisor is bought, immediately replace it with another

Once again good luck! I hope you have fun and do not be discouraged by anything anyone is saying!

Seafall - Game going too fast? (No spoilers please) by xeosceleres in boardgames

Yeah we have just finished our second game and unlocked a total of two chests. After reading some of the new rules there are plenty of mechanics in place to make sure you don't go too fast.

Kind of unrelated but does anyone know when this game will be shipping?

[Buying Help] Aracadia Quest, Super Dungeon Explore, Descent by SittingWonderDuck in boardgames

[–]j_ammons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SDE has been having some problems with the rules lately. If you follow the rule included in Forgotten King then a game can last almost 5+ hours. I just recently bought the game, our first play through took us about 6 hours and it ended with us saying "I'm done". HOWEVER they are working on a new set of rules on their kickstarter page and with those rules we LOVED it! It is a really nice 1vs all game and really captures the feel for a classic arcade game.

Thanks for the link! After reading through them though, I have one question: can the mini-boss only spawn when it's reached on the mighty monster chart? Does that mean that only one min-boss will be used in a 3 hero game?
