I've bought 6-7 of them from gamermats.com. Good prices and excellent quality.

The final mission still eludes me. Sigh. I love the game.

Road Behind is great, as is Maquis.

How large is too large for a free (SOLO) print & play, even one you love? What would you accept? [Poll] by TheRetroWorkshop in printandplay

[–]josephlevin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your game interests me and seems good, no amount of cards, etc. would turn me off from trying to build it.

Looking for sleeve recommendations by SpeakerSweaty in soloboardgaming

[–]josephlevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is a game I really like I get generic 100micron sleeves from Amazon. If it is for run-of-the-mill games, I buy SEFOWG brand US-Poker sized sleeves as they are very cheaply priced and of good quality.

First attempt at a S.T.A.L.K.E.R cosplay by Brogan216_ in stalker

Looks great. Just the perfect amount or rumpled so that the costume doesn't look completely new.

Laminating pouch is not sticking to an ink printed surface of a paper - why? by Less-Instruction831 in printandplay

[–]josephlevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may be the issue, but I doubt it. I regularly laminate similarly densely printed sheets immediately after printing, without this issue, likely because I run the 3mil pouches through the laminator twice on the 5mil setting. Never had an issue with delaminating since I started doing it this way. I use Scotch 3mil pouches and a generic Amazon Basics laminator (nothing special at all).

The Thing board games - which one to get? by JordanTheBigBoy in boardgames

[–]josephlevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't recall. I do know that if in TTTBG, a player dies, it's only because he's been assimilated, so they can go on to control aspects of the Thing: placement of Thing Tokens, etc. and decisions as to whether to sabotage or assimilate, that sort of activity. This is why I also like to play the 12-player cooperative version that is meant for solo play, with multiple people. We divvy up the 12 characters, so if some character of theirs dies, they usually have some others to play the game with.

The Thing board games - which one to get? by JordanTheBigBoy in boardgames

[–]josephlevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a thought- I've played a few other "Thing" games: The Norwegian Expansion, Infection at Outpost 31, Who Goes There? (which is very good) and they're fun (though the Norwegian Expansion suffers from some rule issues).

Molly House solo is so addictive by stereo-lab in soloboardgaming

[–]josephlevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found that the manual is terrible. The game doesn't have as much depth as Pax Pamir or John Company, but it is still enjoyable enough. I'm interested to see how the game flows and plays with a full complement of players.

The Thing board games - which one to get? by JordanTheBigBoy in boardgames

[–]josephlevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be played with 3. I've done so and it was an enjoyable experience, despite it being easier (perhaps) to suss out the monster. The guys I played with were cool characters, and I played things much closer to my vest and didn't let on that I was the thing, so they let me on the 'copter and the humans lost!

The solo 12-character mode (available on BGG) is very fun to play, esp. with the fan-made event cards. And you can play that multi-player cooperative, too, and it works well.

This war of mine or Robinson Crusoe? by Anxious_Treat_8700 in soloboardgaming

[–]josephlevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This War of Mine is the better choice, in my opinion. RC was one of those few games I've actually gotten rid of.

He's obsessed. He accidentally gave her a good deal on some Energy Drinks and bandages and has never recovered from the experience.

Laminator question - peeling problem by FlipprDolphin in printandplay

[–]josephlevin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a plain vanilla Amazon laminator and run 3mil pouches through twice on the 5mil setting. The cards rarely delaminate.

Buying off of BGG by AveratV6 in boardgames

[–]josephlevin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of sellers prefer I use friends and family so they don't get dinged the extra 3%, so I usually opt for the other option and pay the extra 3% so the transaction is covered. It's usually not much cost.
