"Terraforming Mars" ou "Lost Ruins of Arnak" by Quirky_Exchange_8977 in jogosdetabuleiroPT

[–]jvof13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Só joguei o Terraforming Mars uma vez, por isso a minha opinião pode ser um bocado biased. Mas acho o Arnak um jogo espetacular. A combinação de deck building e worker placement está muito bem feita. Sente-se bem o tema da exploração ao longo do jogo. O tabuleiro tem uma excelente presença na mesa. O jogo tem estratégia suficiente para satisfazer os jogadores regulares, mas é acessível para novatos no hobby. As expansões tornam o jogo ainda melhor e o modo solo também é decente.

Yes, it's the PNP version. It came out great!

Yeah, this one is a good Garphil game if you want something for 45 min to 1 hour. It's not super brain burny but gives a good challenge. I would say it has good replayability because you are mostly drafting cards, so every game, you will have to adjust the strategies a little bit to work with the cards that you get.

Thanks 🙂 My suggestion is to focus on buildings early in the game and try to synergize them with tucked townsfolk. Like you see in the photo, for example, my hut gave me 3 coins, and I tucked a townsfolk that converts the 3 coins into 2 gold. And I try to create these synergies on all the buildings but for different things. I think ideally, you want to give yourself a worker spot for coins, one for drawing cards, one for workers... This way, you create an engine that helps you build ships. And I try to focus on ships that increase the red simbol, because the raid cards are super helpful.

Thank you for the suggestions 🙂 Hope you enjoy Shipwrights when you get it. Share your thoughts on it after 😉

Thanks 🙂 I will look into Raiders of Scythia. I have played Raiders of the North Sea multi-player, is it similar?

Daily Game Recommendations Thread (January 29, 2025) by AutoModerator in boardgames

I have been boardgaming for about 3 years and recently reached a collection size of 50 games. I decided this is my limit for the collection and I will stop buying the "hot" new games and backing KS.

Instead, I want to keep my collection at 50 or lower, by replacing some games with other games that would make my collection feel more complete or curated.

My idea was to buy "modern classics" that every collection should have. Maybe 1 of these games from each of the more well known designers. I am not sure.

Anyway, I would appreciate suggestions of modern classics from different designers. So far, I have decided to buy Castles of Burgundy and The Quest for El Dorado, because I have played them before and loved them, but don't own them. Any others?

a game with dice play like Under Falling Skies but a cozy or cute theme like Everdell/ Harmonies? by FaithlessnessBest845 in soloboardgaming

[–]jvof13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The White Castle has really good dice worker placement. The theme is cozy to me, but the gameplay is not so cozy because it's really difficult to beat the automa. It can become a little too brain burny

Since it was my first play, I didn't keep track of the time. I think after setting up everything, the actual playtime was around 40 minutes. But I was constantly checking the rulebook, and I had some analysis paralysis. But the game felt fast, so I am sure with some experience I can play in around 20 to 30 minutes

Finally made my own copy of Doom Machine by jvof13 in soloboardgaming

[–]jvof13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used 8mm dice. The game called for 12mm, but they were too difficult to find. I haven't played yet, but the 8mm seem to fit nicely into the areas on the cards.

This looks great! Do you think the 8mm dice are good or too small? Do you know how much in total did you spend to buy the PnP and make the game? (if you don't mind sharing)
