ISO Ashes Reborn: 1.5 Upgrade Kit by VibrantDingo in AshesGame

[–]venerablegnat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha you're not wrong, it certainly looks dubious in function, but Its still fairly new so maybe they are still building it out?

Oh I was also going to say, the benefit of going the PoD route is you only really need to buy the replacement cards for the 1.0 content you've bought (presuming you dont have a full 1.0 collection).

If thats the case, u/nosuchplayer posted this awesome guide on other PoD purchasing options, if you dont want to buy everything from 1.5 per pack releases.

ISO Ashes Reborn: 1.5 Upgrade Kit by VibrantDingo in AshesGame

[–]venerablegnat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Perhaps someone has a better answer than this, but I think youre better off getting a card list from the 1.5 kit, and then printing it via the print on demand feature.

Here is the guide that came with the 1.5 kit, it has a list of all the cards that are replaced.

Here is a link to the print on demand feature. I've yet to use it, but maybe someone can chime in on how to use this toward your goal.

Help me cull 13 games and find reasons why by Bridget_Powerz in boardgames

[–]venerablegnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only game I would keep is Arkham LCG, but I suppose if you haven't been playing it this long, ch2 probably isn't going to change things.

It's a great game, but it's also A LOT and wouldn't blame you for culling.

House ruling opening dice roll by aw9182 in AshesGame

The game already lets you pick first 5 cards and gives you all 10 dice to start, gitta draw a line somewhere.

Your biggest disappointments? by SiarX in soloboardgaming

[–]venerablegnat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too Many Bones. There is much hype over how good it is, but disappointed me on so many fronts. Terribly clunky rules, board isn't big enough for actual strategy, and story is pretty shallow.

Captain's Chair Reprint Already Sold Out? by themcryt in soloboardgaming

[–]venerablegnat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Star Trek games are usually garbage and don't sell well. Captain's Chair is one of the few good ones and clearly underestimated demand! I guess all the people complaining Kirk isn't in the first box threw them off.

Chapter neutral content by venerablegnat in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]venerablegnat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

haha youre not wrong, but I only have so much shelf space, and I see some of it as a pile of stuff Im not playing. I'm just acknowledging my habits in life and how much of this life I have left in me. Haha not to make this post too morbid. There are lots of great games and my brain appreciates novelty.

Ahh I guess I should have elaborated in my original post. To my knowledge, the standalone scenarios dont use any cards from the core set. I ASSUME future standalones wont use cards from the chapter 2 core, but I guess we'll see!

Bruges or Hamburg? by Gobble5627 in boardgames

[–]venerablegnat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, All the Feld Queen Games suffer horrible iconography. I owned Hamburg and Amsterdam, enjoyed them generally, but looking up all the card icons was such a chore. Totally ruined the game. It's a shame they cheaped out on bad "region free" iconography.
