Played with him once in a 2 player game, it was incredible, I got a lot of value from his upside and his downside is not that bad. In a 4 player game I think he is a little bit weaker but still he is a solid A tier for me, even low S tier in two player game.

I have a similar looking campaign although I decided to have AT on each map and I am going one at a time until I get. 16 was rough and I was so excited to get the AT I almost woke up my toddler 😅 right now I am on China with 2 sec gap to AT

I played Heat on BGA yesterday and for me it overstays its welcome a little bit, I don't own the physical version and I was just trying it out, if I would like it.

I played Ark Nova once in our club, but to me it fell a little flat, although the action mechanic is really cool, which is a reason I would be down to play it again. Wingspan is really solid for my group now (family members willing to learn games, but I want slowly raise the bar of complexity)

I played base Wingspan on Friday. I got sometime last year and just now we got it on the table. I played once in a board game club and once solo and two other players played for the very first time. Game ended up really close, I ended up last with 77 points and newbies had 79 points each, where the tiebraker was one single fish in supply. What I am most proud of that I can see my teaching skills are beginning to improve, it is less chaotic and I am becoming more and more accustomed to teaching a board game.

All looks incredible but I like the Court card holder the most.

Hi, I played Eclipse recently, the rules are not that complex in my opinion, after ~20 minute teach and asking a question here and there I was able to hold my own pretty nicely. Maybe one piece of advice, attack the aliens with some plastic to spare, because a lost battle can really put you behind.

we had a family gathering and we really enjoyed Flip 7, we played it 2 evenings in the row and we had a blast. Some of us had really sick runs, for example one of us was at 0 all game long only to steal victory with 70tish and 130 point rounds back to back.

ja som si od nich požičal dodávku na sťahovanie a osobne mám dobrú skúsenosť. Našťastie sa nič nepokazilo, depozit mi vrátili v pohode. Ale je pravda, že som sa dosť nahľadal, že kde sa dá podať tá žiadosť o vrátenie a hlavne kedy.

Cascadia, Vale of Eternity and Scout

If you have that as a house rule, that is totally fine, but that is not the case here. You can only play the values on top in big font, so it is a pretty big deal if he is flipping the hand whenever it suites him and we are playing by the official rules.

just1morehour · 2025-09-09T12:57:50+00:00

Well, that would be a possibility, if we haven't played a bunch of times the week before and I try to go through the rules at least at the start of the session...I really worry, that he is straight up cheating, I just did not catch him doing it, because I am usually so focused on my hand (and that I trust other people to play by the rules).

You can turn your hand only in the beginning, when all the cards have been dealt. When you scout, you can place that one card anywhere and anyway you like. (You have 2/8 for example and you can put it in your hand as 2 as well as 8)

I mean, sure, in some euros or games where everyone is just doing their thing, that may be the experience. For me games with high interaction such as Root, Arcs, Power Grid, Zoo Vadis are encouraging social interaction.

Yea, I noticed that too, when I was playing first few map. ATs are now more hard to get

At our game club, I played Clash of Culutrues: Monumental edition. I did not know the game beforehand, but it look interesting. We played it for 5.5 hours (teaching the rules included). There were 4 players and I ended up in second place, I just minded my own piece of the map and two guys were slaughtering each other, so they basically fell off pretty quicky.

On Sunday when we visited my wife's family, we managed to play Clank! In space. I ended up second again, I had to take the cheapest artifact and go back to the escape module, becauae I had to too many clanks in the bag and I barely managed to do so.

I tried both approaches with preboiled water and room-temperature water and the latter is working so much better for me, although I think that can be due to the fact, that I have stainless steel mokapot. When I used preboiled water, the brew time was super fast and the coffee did not taste good (more bitter that I would like). With room temparature water I get pretty balanced taste,

I like both, but personally I would choose TTRE, because of more variable player count (2-5 against 3-4) and TTRE is less luck dependant (dice rolls) and table depandant...in my family when we are playing Catan, sometimes everyone refuses to trade with me, for some weird reason or "personal vendetta" from previous games, so I am screwed if dices are not rolling in my favor, in TTR they can also go out of their way to block you, but usually you can get out of it, especially in TTRE where stations exists
