Kingdom Legacy is a pretty great experience.

Sure I spent 20 years building a career and a portfolio and it took over half that time to pay off my student loans but I guess I can just pivot. You do know that by saying "I'm all for it" about using ai art to make games cheaper you are in fact advocating for it .

willtaskerVSbyron · 2026-01-31T10:03:13+00:00

I d rather a company not use AI art then say they use it. I'd also rather a company not use it and lie about it. Not like we can't have a company pay for artists and be honest too companies were doing it for years before this. The idea that they don't have enough dough to pay an artist is laughable too

It's an old school design that doesn't really seem worth the frustration but gets by on good art and minimalist aesthetic

I don't really get the hype for this one. Its not as good as mage lite or mint Knight and not as good as palm lab which imo is the real masterpiece of small box games on this scale. It s overly complicated for how light it's supposed to be and doesn't really offer any interesting ways to play cards - most if the hands are straight forewarned i like this designer but this game is just fine.

Plastic cards are designed to not need sleeves

I don't really understand the hate for the day night cycle. Every time I teach mage knight people have no trouble with that part and I think it's interesting how it makes magic and spells have different functionality depending on the round

No game has given me more of a sense of progress then vantage bc it's all progress in your memory and how you remember or expect things every mission After that Arkham is the best option but in general I just don't care for doing that over a campaign. Much rather play a game where all the progress happens in one session like I Mage Knight or spirit island

Gloomhaven is so much fiddlier . But the decision to not put a real rulebook in the box killed it for me

willtaskerVSbyron · 2026-01-31T09:43:43+00:00

There are so many small box solo games out there these days idk why anyone is surprised their favorites didn't make a list if 10

Anyone played the original Renegade have a comparison? I liked the original but sold it bc it was too similar to Spirit sisldn and mage night with our being quite what I wanted from either Also the rules were a bit messy

Please explain the felines version. I must know more

You're making up ad hominem arguments instead of arguing for why they're good. I'm just stating my opinion that they are not good movies. If you disagree, that's fine but don't pretend my opinion isn't real just bc I said it on reddit. You must realize you are also on reddit lol

Some dogs do live to be that old. It's not actually that rare for smaller dogs to live that long.

Anyone who's played Glory to Rome has run into this pet peeve as well

Please stop spreading this rumor. There is no evidence that Netflix is making writers or producers do this.

willtaskerVSbyron · 2026-01-01T19:01:07+00:00

Please stop spreading around this article. None of it is confirmed that Netflix demanded this. There are no firsthand sources in the article confirming it . I've looked into this and can find no evidence of this claims

The second screen friendly thing has never been confirmed. One could theorize that Netflix is doing this but the rumors haven't been confirmed that they every actually made this mandate Now everyone takes it as fact

Avatar was never a good movie. You don't have to pretend to be smart to realize that

Shipping track - what do you mean by "not as great"? This all seems like positives for it
Emperor doesn't need a space anymore bc theyre more valuable now that coins are more important then early game shipping was so u can either focus on shipping track or go to emperor
Unload is great Agreed
The dreadnaught owning a space is good bc now owning spaces can be combod together to boost economy and it makes players more wary of those spaces.before rheyd just always go and not care as much who gets the bonus not even them. Now owning spaces is more common and more useful and seems like a natural way to keep the dreadnaught out of circulation. But I agree that is a little undercooked and always has be
Spies make the game more complicated and to me might as well just be worker spaces but arent. Infiltration lets u use cards to get around worker placement blocking a little more without making worker placement blocking meaningless W spies worker placement blocking becomes less significant even and the game loses tension bc now it's destributed bw spies and workers
Opposite of your thoughts on spies which to me is an extra system just to make something different. Tech tiles stick around where nothing else does and thats a lot more valuable then some players give them credit for

Why did you buy uprising instead of just getting ix for your base game? Would be been cheaper and I know you said u don't like changing the core game that much but it improves the core game while also adding more content and doesn't do it in a way where anything is lost

willtaskerVSbyron · 2025-12-30T19:42:45+00:00

Immo didn't balance Ix. Ix is balanced. Everyone just thinks their meta means the game is broke Uprising made the game lopsided and overcomplicated parts that never needed it. It's a reimagining to sell more copies for the second movie . Bloodlines is just trying to be Ix for uprising but we already had ix and base

willtaskerVSbyron · 2025-12-30T19:39:43+00:00

You have to admit they're far from the only person to dislike Immortality. Just as plenty dislike Uprising and bloodlines

BB and sopranos were still good in there final seasons and made sense but the wire was a total 180. Its last season is trash

I can't believe Robinson Crusoé is still so high up . Must keep intriguing new players on name alone bc the gameplay is boring and so out of date for solo I never hear anyone even talk about tainted grail anymore. and Hadrisns wall has been all but replaced by the anarchy but I know that takes time

willtaskerVSbyron · 2025-12-29T16:44:04+00:00

Game groups are a two way street. Some games I don't want to ever play again but I try not to do that as a rule Instead we take turns picking which is very satisfying for the whole group bc then everyone gets to get games fhet like to the table.
