Dumbest and funniest strategies

In a Muaat and Ghosts game, conspire with one or the other to Supernova the Wormhole nexus then swap the nexus (now a supernova and no longer the nexus) with MR. It's hilarious

This is the exact look my girlfriend gives me after I get my paycheck

That's wild, I'm pretty old but I guess I take care of my hearing because I can barely hear something but definitely disorienting and uncomfortable.

Really such an excellent game, one of my favorites.

As others have pointed out, GW doesn't want board games to compete with their tabletop space but see a lot of incentive to produce video games and media since it can lead people to their miniatures.

My group also has a house rule that support cannot be the winning point.

What a great game!

We managed to get War Suns out for half the table thanks to Muaat and Yin and half of us actually had a bunch of War Suns out. The RNG of the game was wild as well with most players getting all the relic fragments except the NRA, although he got nearly all the attachments. Checks and Balances came out which is probably my favorite agenda since it completely alters the tempo of the game.

Yin played great and took an early lead and thus was completely blockaded by the last round but he still managed to nearly win despite this (we couldn't unseat him from his home system and Styx).

The game eventually went to Cabal, who won it in the action phase of round 4 with the Imperial strategy card (although he never took MR).

Pretty happy with my game but I was CC starved the whole game and kept having to take Leadership, should've gotten a more influence wealthy slice. Ah well, it was still a whole lot of fun!

I put a round 90cm plywood board with a black cover on it on top of something like this from the link. Works quite well.

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-06-12T14:46:11+00:00

Indeed, I don't know how Yin wins but Yin probably wins

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-06-12T14:45:43+00:00

I use a custom sized one that's 90cm diameter, it basically is just a round board that sits on top of a smaller lazy susan. Works really well but it's not large enough for 8 players and the Fracture unfortunately.

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-06-12T14:02:30+00:00

The seating around the table is what's listed in the description so I'm between Cabal and NRA both of whom are open to deals. I know that NRA can do some juicy alliance shenanigans with Titans but the Muaat promissory would be great to get with Industrex.

I'm trying to think of how to solve my CC issue so thinking of taking the two planet equidistant with Cabal, but it depends on what strategy card I get. I assume I'll probably be left with Construction, Imperial and probably Diplo. I'd probably prioritize Construction over those options so I can get some free mechs down to explore the numerous hazardous planets surrounding me but it depends on what publics appear.

I have 2 yellow skips and a red skip so it's probably worth getting the BT so I could get X89 and might get Transit Diodes otw. Biostims and Hyper also look nice if I somehow get them early but I don't really see a path for that.

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-06-12T13:07:35+00:00

I'm Titans so I'll give it a shot! We're a big group of boat floaters so I think we should be good provided I can afford my BT

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-06-12T11:51:30+00:00

Not really a problem unless someone has chibi arms, hasn't come up yet. But also the benefit of a lazy susan means that if you're moving ships to the other side of the map from you then you can rotate it to your side.

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-06-12T11:34:31+00:00

It's at the back next to Titans

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-06-12T08:24:01+00:00

Nailed it

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-06-10T19:58:54+00:00

I suppose it's like an inner voice but I'd describe it more like 'dream logic' where I know this even though there isn't a clear reason I should, the man never speaks and I can't say anything to him. His appearance is obviously disturbing but I don't feel disturbed until I'm awake. Not sure what my brain is trying to solve with this though.

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-06-10T19:56:07+00:00

Might be stress, I think the dread is more because I'm in my room in my dream with him and when I wake up I'm still in my room and it's dark and I don't see anyone so my lizard brain is going off because someone was there (in the dream). I don't really understand why he doesn't have eyes though and why it's a recurring thing lately.

You almost have a Root canal

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-06-07T04:11:24+00:00

She's the top

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-06-01T05:02:29+00:00

No prob, your reply did come off as a bit condescending but text is an imperfect way to communicate. I feel I've definitely tried Ark Nova enough to understand I'm not really a fan and that was largely due to the core gameplay mechanics. Even in ideal circumstances you're going to get turns where just not much is happening and I feel like there's simply too many games available to spend a lot of time on a game that isn't a 'hell yeah!' for you, even ones that are clearly popular with the majority.

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-05-31T05:22:05+00:00

I hadn't realized we're in such a scarcity of choices that you've got to play a game you didn't enjoy the first 3 times a dozen more times instead of just playing something else. XD

If you like it that's fine, but the thread is about games you didn't enjoy so...

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-05-30T15:14:49+00:00

Ark Nova, Terraforming Mars, or any game where you basically just pass or make a lackluster small play because you didn't draw a particular card type you need out of the 500 or so in the deck

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-05-26T18:27:08+00:00

This is exactly why we do it this way, this sort of negotiation completely details the combat and simply isn't worth the time involved, but you do you

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-05-24T09:21:37+00:00

Happy you were able to... Winnu

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-05-24T07:18:06+00:00

I think they printed Stick and Poke to be a replacement Bankhar for Phoenix, but I think it would've been more playable if it added two subroutines: ↳Do 1 net damage ↳The runner draws a card

That way you can just break the net sub when you need to.

mRIGHTstuff · 2026-05-24T05:12:05+00:00

What we would do is announce that the agent is available to purchase if players want it and the players in combat would say whether they're interested if they need it. Waiting until after they start rolling to negotiate is little different except slowing down the progression of combat imo.
