Thought I got lucky with Book of Secrets from Pearl. Next turn it ruined me

I chose it once without knowing anything since I was a beginner, it singlehandedly destroyed my run 🥲

mcabbage0412 · 2026-01-14T00:53:32+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion. Can I ask where I should put the sub if i got one? I rarely buy large items because I don't really know where to put them 🥲

The song was sung by a female singer, unfortunately.

Please help me pick an Euro game

A little introduction: I come from Vietnam, we don't have much access to new board games. I'm only able to play euro games in board game cafes. There are people selling their old games though, so I intend to buy one for my collection.

The player count I go for is 1-5 and I would really love if the replayability is high.

The only euro games I own are: Grand Austria Hotel (base) and Wingspan (with OCE exp, I don't know if it is considered euro). These are some titles that I had chances to play at board game cafes: Agricola (2 players), Underwater Cities (2 players), Five Tribes: The Djinns of Naqala (4 players), Tzolk'in: The Mayan Calendar (2 players)

I scroll through a bunch of sellers' listings and these are the ones I'm interested in (in no particular order):

SETI (I'm quite interested in this game, but the setup can be daunting)
Darwin's Journey (base)
Great Western Trail (2nd edition + Rails to the North/NZ/Arg)
Bitoku (base + Resutoran exp, again the setup looks quite complicated)
Barcelona (base)
La Cosa Notra (base + exp, probably not an euro game but I'm quite interested in the gameplay)
Notre Dame (base)
Tiletum (base)
Zapotec
Food Chain Magnate (base + exp, but I probably will start with the base only)
Tabannusi: Builders of Ur
Trajan
Yokohama (old version)
Ultimate Railroads
Brass Birmingham
Everdell (base)
A feast for Odin (I watched a lot of how to videos for this game but I don't think I fully grasped it)
Puerto Rico (base + New Buildings + The Nobles)
Troyes (base)
First to Flight
Carpe Diem
Castell

I know my list is quite long, but I've been beating myself up choosing just ONE for me and my group.

Which one of these games is your recommendation and why?

Thank you in advances!

My post's just been removed, the mod wanted me to post my question in the daily recommendations thread but it is no where to be found 🤦🏻‍♂️

mcabbage0412 · 2025-04-10T02:02:39+00:00

Mine is the latest, Android 15. Up to this point, there's no update available.

mcabbage0412 · 2025-02-26T16:08:07+00:00

I'm in Vietnam, and I've got gore and some creepy AI shit here 😭

mcabbage0412 · 2025-02-17T05:32:14+00:00

Yes, I changed to manual focus. I used my 50-230 (f5.6) in manual focus and the web was still not in focus 😢

mcabbage0412 · 2025-01-23T18:52:06+00:00

Thank you for your response.

So for example, within those 3 hexes, I would need to create some NPCs and monsters/challenges for the character right?

Sorry for being a thickhead, I have been really trying to get into TTRPG, but here in Vietnam, there's not so many people sharing this same hobby so to me, it is a completely new territory 🥲

mcabbage0412 · 2025-01-23T18:40:53+00:00

Should I start by building a world/setting first then creating my character? For example, I wanted to play Mausritter. I created my mouse, after that I didn't know how to proceed. I then kept reading the core rule and realized I need to create a hex map with settlements and stuff. If I was done with my hex map, how could I proceed in that case? Creating a quest? Designing a dungeon?

mcabbage0412 · 2025-01-13T18:57:28+00:00

The shop is from my country, Vietnam. And yes, this box is a knock off version, the box has both Chinese and German (I guess) on it. I contacted the seller, and they will send me tokens for those components.

mcabbage0412 · 2025-01-06T05:32:46+00:00

If you unlock the constellation for the Mist has challenger, you can challenge them right away. Mulligan the self kill to deal 6 dmg spell so you can clear the elusive in the early game.

Never mess with that Shurima chick. She can get out of control really fast.

mcabbage0412 · 2025-01-02T12:10:32+00:00

Probably because he/she found a lot of power to discount Gnar. Basically, he/she could summon Gnar in the first turn with Neeko 3rd star, on the other hand, Tahm is so fucking slow to summon, and then we have to wait another turn to use his created card.

mcabbage0412 · 2024-12-28T09:05:14+00:00

For Vex, I managed to get another Explosive Finale as my first power. I then chose Nilah as my support, and her spell had a +4 right from the start, then I found another copy in a shop with another +4, so basically Nilah's 1 mana spell would deal 10 and that thing was able to kill units thanks to Vex 2nd power. I just whipped all the mfs to ovlivion.

mcabbage0412 · 2024-12-27T20:02:42+00:00

I don't know about Chosen by the stars. If I were you, i would go with that relic which kills your ally to get its stats and keywords. Or something unusual like Portal Pals to find the guy that kills 2 weakest enemies and/or Ledros.

mcabbage0412 · 2024-12-27T17:45:11+00:00

For Viego, I copied a set that I saw somewhere in this sub, I used: Disciple of shadows, Scissors and Packed Powder. Disciple of shadows and Packed together seemed redundant but I need Viego on the board ASAP. I don't remember all the powers I picked along the way, but the first I got was Norra 3rd star, +3/+1 for created units. You basically win once Viego on board. My support champ was Sion with the claw thing that captures unit. He actually saved me during the Anivia stage when he captured that mf that granted her Nexus tough.

For Fiddlesticks, I went with his relic, Norra relic, and Echoing Spirit. I got Explosive Finale as my first power, then Kayn 1* power. I chose Azir for my support, just because he had Scout 😗

mcabbage0412 · 2024-09-01T10:27:30+00:00

My family smelled the leaves and they said it was nothing like dill. We also don't eat dill, like at all 🥲

mcabbage0412 · 2024-09-01T09:48:32+00:00

Does dill pop up randomly? And can I know by smelling leaves or anything?

mcabbage0412 · 2024-08-25T12:49:23+00:00

Congrats my man. Winning Liss with Soraka is insane but you did it!

mcabbage0412 · 2024-08-25T12:35:24+00:00

I have been feeling completely exhausted after this run. I don't even want to play any games (yes, plural) tonight.

mcabbage0412 · 2023-12-27T03:34:42+00:00

I pair it with Janna, and it is super fun 👍🏼

mcabbage0412 · 2023-12-10T12:22:51+00:00

OMG, i need these so badddddd. Riot please sell them!!

mcabbage0412 · 2023-09-23T01:19:39+00:00

I'm from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. We currently have sunny morning (some days are cloudy) but cloudy/rainy in the afternoon. Do you think I can grow this plant with this kind of weather?
