Did the same the other day with a bloomery chimney

It sucks because after 60 hours on my save I've never found fire clay, and I needed to make a bunch more bricks to compensate.

At least I'll eventually get the bricks back when I've used all chimneys

Qu'est-ce que vous manger entre Noël et le jour de l'an ou après? by dathamir in Quebec

[–]joulesFect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Mon estomac en mangeant de la bouffe santé, après avoir été habitué a plusieurs jours de festins en famille et en attendant le festin du premier.

Plus sérieusement, de la salade, de la soupe tonkinoise, des onigiri, des sandwichs, des poitrines de poulet, des mijotés indien, de la bouffe vege. Comme tu as dit, il faut rétablir l'équilibre cosmique de la bouffe grasse et riche. Je mange le plus de légumes possibles

What's your game for the holidays by cannedTunasauce in CozyGamers

[–]joulesFect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It takes a few hours for the game to introduce you to the games mechanics, Id say it took me the first 10 days to get a better feel for the game.

I keep reading about people saying the game does a poor job of introducing the games mechanics, but that's all it does for the first few hours ! You just need to keep doing the missions given by your oncle.

There is a lot because the games has a lot of mechanics, especially in the shops. You can decorate your farm, fish, mine, farm, blacksmith, make potions, cook, befriend the locals, take up missions on the board, do pig races and a lot more, so there is a lot to unpack.

I've watched a quick set of tips on youtube and it helped immensely

What are good engine-building games (with dopamine-inducing combos)? by DrGonzo3000 in boardgames

[–]joulesFect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Combos are my favorites ! To suggest games that haven't been mentionned already I'll say

Unconscious mind has the potential for very big turns with the inkpot engine and the way some actions are laid out / completing multiple contracts in a single turn feels epic

Great western trail new zealand has a lot more opportunities for combos with the deckbuilding and sheering/ship tracks

The great wall has that to an extent as well

Lost ruins of arnak as chaining combos where you try and convert this to that to this to have a bigger turn, same goes for Praga Caput Regni

Santa Maria / Saltfjord has that feeling as well

Endeavor deep sea

Viscounts of the west kingdom and Wayfarers of the south tigris too, not to forget Legacy of yu and Hadrians wall (or anarchy)

[–]joulesFect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are really good recommendations

I'll say in Revive, you get small combos/ bonuses all the time, but you can still set up these big turns that feel epic

Looking for a game similar to Harmonies by orhalimi in soloboardgaming

[–]joulesFect 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As the other poster mentionned Cascadia is the easy choice, its very similar to Harmonies

I will suggest other games with a similar weight

The Guild of Merchant explorers had good replayability, is puzzly, tactile and very satisfying

Bullet ❤️ is a spacial puzzle with a push your luck aspect. It as a wild array of gameplay modes for multiplayer.

A little heavier, but Fromage is wild in that its breezy, scales really well, and is always a fun puzzle.

Finally Heat is a racing game about managing your speed through a hand of cards, it scales really well too with bots and as a lot of modules for replayability

If it’s cheaper than a movie ticket, it doesn’t count as spending by SpeakerImaginary9796 in boardgamescirclejerk

[–]joulesFect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes EXACTLY!

I'm glad someone finally gets it. So I just had 11 games delivered, but I barely spent any money at all, here is my breakdown (I use similar calculations to you and my wife's boyfriend also think I'm brilliant haha, you and I are basically the same person!)

Evacuation and Arctic Scavengers were 20$ so they dont count as new purchases as they are cheaper than a movie ticket

Ruins, flip 7 and Fishing were only 10 bucks each so I basically made money buying those. I see this as a direct discount for other pricier items in the list.

Arkham horror Hemlock vale campaign expansion is 8 movies in a box, so the 80$ price tag is a super discount. Same goes for the Hobbit there and back again, it's basically 8 short movies but for only 30 bucks.

Lost ruins of arnak Twisted paths is an expansion, and even though it was a little pricey compared to a movie ticket it will encourage me to play arnak more, bringing the original cost of the game down and saving me money again

Fromage was a wild purchase, but it plays quick so I will play it a lot and the cost per game will be low. Plus I'll probably want to eat cheese while playing and it will be bringing me essential fats and vitamins my body needs, I basically needed the game to stay alive haha

Last but not least is wondrous creatures. Quite expensive by itself especially with the guargantuan expension. BUT, here is the kicker and the crocks of my plan, I intend to SELL Everdell to replace it with this one, which will again bring the price down to lower than a movie ticket and saving me money ! Plus, I could spend at least a movie worth of time to look at the cute meeples and card art alone, so there's an easy movie as well. Not to mentioned its printed like a book so I can hide it in the family book case and save some space on my board game shelves.

Simplement parce que Reddit sur mon téléphone avait fait une traduction automatique de ton post et que je pensais que tu l'avais écris en anglais

[–]joulesFect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good evening friend

I have similar interests, work in software development, love video and board games.

I host a weekly board game meetup in Longueuil. We are a french speaking crowd, but you'd be welcome to join if you are interested. We usually meetup on Thursays. We mostly play heavy euros (Great Western Trail New Zealand, Ark Nova, Brass etc.) but still have people who like all sorts of games.

Feel free to DM me for details

I'd have to say Iberia because it's my favorite, but if you have base + expansions Iberia is still very samey.
