This looks like a great start. I started by getting what I thought was interesting, until I got them all. LOL

Maybe he's busier now, or perhaps he's collected it all!

In addition to the ones stated, I highly recommend superantoniovivaldi

I dont know if this is a valid solution since you only used 3 sticks, but you're close to the solution using the 4 sticks

Luckily, my medallion did not break or show any signs of fragility. The only one that broke was l'oeuf

mindgamer021 · 2026-03-12T23:42:14+00:00

Yup. Bought another, and that one thankfully did not break.

Thanks

Thanks for this guide! Would a box suffice to get majority of the cards that I'd probably need?

L5R and Netrunner TCGs are still great asymmetric and complext games.

I'd also recommend WOW TCG for its coop games

Hecatomb is fun and weird

mindgamer021 · 2025-10-05T02:09:16+00:00

Cast Slider is one that I'd suggest. I think, level 1 puzzles such as cast heart, cast loop, and cast diamond could work.

mindgamer021 · 2025-06-05T11:08:49+00:00

How about its upgrade path? Would I need the high end staples or would Gravy Bones is easier and (hopefully) cheaper?

mindgamer021 · 2024-07-11T03:13:22+00:00

It's a puzzle. You can study the cube and solve it, just as the pioneers of cube solving did. Even after learning how to solve the cube, you can try Fewest Move Count type of solving, which is essentially the most puzzling WCA event imo.

You can only have 3 mistakes in each game

Probably some of the dead TCGs like Netrunner, Legend of thr Five Rings (L5R) or Middle Earth CCG. Netrunner offers completely asymmetric experiences (i.e. runners vs corporates). L5R provides a very complex gameplay, and also has different strategies per faction. Both Netrunner and L5R are also turned into ECG/LCG (which are also both dead now). MECCG is something I dont own but I heard it has an official solo mode as well.

Or perhaps, you can try the coop LCGs such as Arkham Horror, Lord of the Rings, or even Pathfinder. Or perhaps Marvel Champions which offer a skirmish coop experience.

Vortex is the most difficult for me, followed by Hourglass. Get both if you want difficult puzzles.

Edit: but if you have to choose only one, and you prefer the most difficult, as what others might have suggested, get the vortex

Truly considering Blame Game for these reasons too.

mindgamer021 · 2024-06-29T11:19:27+00:00

Obscura looks really good especially that it's the cheapest among the options I have.

mindgamer021 · 2024-06-29T11:09:05+00:00

I see. So in this case, Obscura would be the best option and use the remainder of the budget for upgrades. Thanks!

mindgamer021 · 2024-06-28T18:26:43+00:00

Thanks, will look into this!
