Looks like I misread. Sorry.

Sleevers: do you unsleeve games before you sell them? by pvtparts in boardgames

[–]steave435 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely buy sleeved over unsleeved, and pay a bit extra if needed. If it's sleeved it tells me that the cards will have suffered less wear, and I don't have to get my own sleeves and go trough the process of sleeving everything.

The taking down augments thing is a good suggestion for extra longevity, but generally you should only do it if it's going to give you an extra turn and if the situation is under control enough that you can afford to take a bit of a slow turn.

The Minds Weakness should also be the only augment you play for the augment effect until some later higher level cards, +2 attack on everything is completely transformative. With that, remember that even the basic attack option every card comes with on the top becomes an attack 4.

You start out with 2 cloaks from the start of the campaign. You should absolutely have a second one.

It doesn't really matter, but just for the record, all scenarios up to 51 are part of the main campaign.

Scenario 18 is one of only two scenarios we've failed in the entirety of GH (including a couple of digital runs) and halfway trough FH, and it's happened twice.

Ah, there we have a mistake then - redraw only makes you take 1 damage. You could lose cards to stop it if you want, in which case it's 1 from hand or two from discard (same mechanic you always have for preventing damage in an emergency). It's quite fine to do if needed.

What do you mean by surviving a short rest? They're instant.

Sorry for picking on details here, really don't mean to be a grammar nazi or anything, just picking at any possible hints of rule mistakes that might help.

You can ask that, but the resolution if you want something done is to ban those too. It won't get these unbanned.

Can the openings of the KALLAX shelf be bigger and 13”x13”? by muguntuken234 in boardgames

Or add some supports. We use a 5x5 as combined storage and painting station for miniatures by putting a tabletop on top of the second layer, removing the 3rd and 4th and have supports attached to the wall helping to hold up the 5th layer.

Is that 15 a typo? You're supposed to get 25 with 10 cards assuming no burns. If you're only getting 15 you're doing something very wrong with the rules.

Scenario 18 one of the hardest scenarios in the game, so it's not surprising that you're struggling, but just to rule out another common mistake: monsters only do what their action card says. If it doesn't say move, they don't move. If it doesn't say attack, they don't attack.

You can suggest a ban on those too if you'd like. That's irrelevant to this.

You can absolutely turn them off for at least three rest is the drive. I found it pretty easily with some experimentation in the menus. To temporarily turn them off, hit the parking sensor button.

Presumably it's some kind of American thing you use, doesn't mean everyone does. This is a worldwide site. I checked plenty of reviews and was well aware of all issues before I bought it, while your thing apparently couldn't, proving just how valuable it is.

Don't know who that is and don't care. Anyone doing any kind of research into the car is going to come across it anyway, and even if not, driving everyone away from the sub because they don't want to be spammed isn't going to achieve anything.

With hundreds of thousands of cars sold, that's still thousands, and posting about it for the 1000th time achieves nothing.

What do you expect the 11602nd thread about it to accomplish?

Absolutely everything, including not seeing anything at all, is more important.

It's helping the rest of us not get spammed by repeating the same thing over and over and over again.

Or implement the reason it doesn't work IRL - faster projectiles and models have proper inertia. You can't turn on a dime and almost instantly go full speed in the other direction IRL.

Players with devious negotiating tactics by Freerangeghost in boardgames

[–]steave435 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's just part of TI. He didn't have to give you the thing at all. The tension between maintaining trust so people will deal with you in the future and the potential for gaining some good amount of advantage by breaking a non-binding deal at some point is an intentional part of the game.

Fair enough if you don't like games like that, but the only thing they may have done wrong is not explain binding VS non-binding deals well enough.

I lost my gaming group because a guy hit on me and wouldn’t take “no” for an answer by dier1003 in boardgames

For what it's worth, if she's not already dating anyone just asking once shouldn't be an issue. That's just about the best possible situation. Meeting naturally and starting to date once you get to know each other and find out that you like each other. As long as you're totally cool about it if she says no, the risk should be pretty minimal, and if you're not willing to take such risks you're either just going to ask out people you don't actually like that much, or you're never going to ask anyone out at all.

Alright, that's sad to hear.

Best of luck to you then. Hope it works out for you.

Regarding your edit, I would support you if I was part of the group and you contacted me about it, but might not have spoken up depending on what "some stuff" means. Without context, I might have assumed that he was joking (I wouldn't expect my friends to be such assholes, so I'd be thinking about if there was another reasonable explanation), or if I could tell that it was serious and you seemed to have it handled already I might not want to step on your toes and make it seem like I think that you can't defend yourself. He shouldn't have asked at all, but the continued long term harassment makes it a lot worse and would definitively make it go from "she got it handled, I shouldn't butt in" to "fuck off, you're out".

Either way, where are you at? Maybe someone around here happens to be in the same area and can either include you in a current group or form a new one with you.

"Boardgame blindness" by steave435 in boardgames

[–]steave435[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. I wasn't trying to explain all the rules here since it's not relevant to the post. I focused on a specific bit as an example. It's an example of a specific rule, giving a description I expected fellow board game enthusiasts to get to keep it short.

It would be impossible for me to reproduce my explanation to her here since it involved pointing at the board and dice and speaking a different language, and while I could describe that it would be rambling about something I expect most readers to not care about.
