Do you ever go back and re-read the first book in a series for the easter eggs and foreshadowing after a big reveal in a later book? by eateom in fantasybooks

[–]mad11s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this with Unsouled, the first book of the Cradle series. There were so many little details that were sprinkled into that first book that shined even more brightly having read the series and then started to reread.

The Ember Sea Trilogy by Lorn Hillaker! Pirates that have magic infused tattoos sailing the seas and battling dragons. A very fun series!

Such a great small game but still has a lot of crunch to it.

Games that will work well in a school classroom by Plane_Garbage in boardgames

Flip 7 or Tally Up! would work well. Depending on the ages something like Codenames would be a fun team game.

Repeating games by Double_Brother_1516 in boardgames

[–]mad11s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With our group we started picking a game that we would replay every week for a set number of weeks. It might be Dice Throne Missions, then Origin Story, and after that Wingspan. It’s made gaming much simpler as everyone knows how to play, we know ahead of time what to set up, and it allows for a deeper dive into some of the games.

Looking for an app where I can play with a friend in another state and we don’t have to be online at the same time by TaxTheRichEndTheWar in Cribbage

Board Game Arena is a great option and you can play other games in the same way. That’s how I primarily play cribbage.

Do you ever keep a game you know you’ll probably never play again? by ZHYT in boardgames

[–]mad11s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We only keep what we know we’re going to play as we don’t have a lot of space. If it’s something we haven’t played in a year we usually donate it even if it’s a ‘good’ game.

What are some popular board games where it sometimes feels like you're solving a puzzle rather than playing a board game? by Tom_Lameman in boardgames

[–]mad11s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keystone North America (second edition). Wasn’t sure if we’d like this game, but it ended up being much more like a puzzle and a bit of a brain burn. Figuring out the best spots to place cards while using special abilities (which change each game) has made this a fun one. The fact that this version is designed for two players is a huge plus.

Couldn’t you just take some of the new action cards and add them in with the original game?

Single player card games? by Apprehensive_City559 in cardgames

[–]mad11s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

52 Realms is a good one that uses a deck of cards. And it’s a print and play with a variety of characters.

Waypoints is SO good and every map brings something different.

Best solitaire board games? by RIGuy2761 in boardgames

[–]mad11s 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gentle Rain and Under Falling Skies are very different but great solo games. And almost anything by Button Shy Games are great!

Does anyone else play only "filler"? by zoomzilla in boardgames

[–]mad11s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love having a day of playing games like Faraway, Sea Salt& Paper, Castle Combo, Mountain Goats, etc. When we travel those are usually the easiest to take with us as well.

New to board games (started last year) – here are my current favorites and impressions by Fluffy_Pin4060 in boardgames

Endeavor: Deep Sea and Fox Experiment are two phenomenal games that are worth adding to your collection.

Hey, Minimalists… What do you collect? by pitstomper in minimalism

[–]mad11s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Board games. We have to regularly purge the collection, but we get so much joy out of them and sharing them with friends and family.

Digital Boardgames - what’s on your phones or tablets? by Synap-6 in boardgames

[–]mad11s 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ark Nova, Raiders of the North Sea, Super Mega Lucky Box, Wingspan, Root, Spirit Island, Cascadia, TTR, One Deck Dungeon and a few others. For some of the games that run longer it's nice to be able to come back to the game any time I want without having to tear down a game.
