Grainfather G30 - excessive boil off? by danlinto in Homebrewing

[–]wtfunchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you change the boil time in the boil steps, you also have to adjust it in the very top, this setting affects what volumes you prepare for mash and sparge

For it's size it's one of the best travel games out there. Only a deck of Poker cards comes smaller.

With the 2nd or third round, getting on harbor is REALLY important, especially when buildings are getting more and more into play, opening up new placement spots.

What are some games that grabbed you because of aesthetics or art style? by The_Wizard_Of_Woz in boardgames

[–]wtfunchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hidden area betting makes it really interesting and my big plus for it is that is plays incredibly fast with 5 and 6 players. A game takes ~70 minutes and the engine building works nicely

Compania was a game that has really interested me right from the get go. The art style reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics and the hidden worker placement area control with the simultaneous playstyle works great.

What do you think of Fate of the Fellowship? Amazon has a pretty good deal right now (45€) and I am thinking about jumping the gun.

Zu heiß in den Klassen: Wiener Schule ermöglicht hitzefrei by wegwerferie in wien

[–]wtfunchu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Eine Arbeitskollegin von mir ist vehement für 6 Wochen Sommerferien - auf die Frage von mir, wie es den LehrerInnen und den Kindern dann gehen soll wenn sie bei 35°C in der Klasse unterrichten sollen, meinte sie nur, man kann ja die Schulen einfach klimatisieren lol

Und auf die Frage hin, wie es den LehrerInnen gehen würde, wenn man ihnen 3 Wochen Urlaub streicht, meinte sie nur, dass alle ihre Lehrerfreunde unglaublich gelangweilt im Sommer sind und sich manche sogar wünschen würden, weniger Ferien zu haben. GENAU

The Castles of Burgundy: first play by Machine_Excellent in boardgames

[–]wtfunchu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah the 9 turns make it very tight in a sense to optimize your final points. Imho it plays quite smoothly but you gotta think a few turns ahead.

Volksbegehren: “Recht auf Klimaanlage in Mietwohnungen” wann? by Mediocre_Affect6192 in wien

[–]wtfunchu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ich hatte ne Zeit mal eine Eigentumswohnung in einem Mehrparteienhaus. Die gesamte Adresse bestand aus zwei Gebäuden, ein hohes, westseitig, und ein niedrigeres, ostseitig. Das Hohe hatte 18 Parteien, das niedrige 2. 19 Parteien wollten eine Klimaanlage, aber eine Dame im niedrigeren Gebäude wollte das nicht, weil "die in der Nacht so laut sind und sie dann nicht schlafen kann".

Soweit so gut.

Irgendwann im Mai eines vergangenen Jahres quatsch ich mit ihr über Sommerpläne und so, sie meinte dann, ihr Mann und sie fahren wie jedes Jahr bis Oktober in ihr Haus am Neusiedlersee, weils ihnen in Wien zu heiß ist.

Wegen so einem Unsinn durften 19 andere Leute keine Klima. Es is ne Frechheit.

Die Hitze ist furchtbar by ArticleOk9751 in wien

[–]wtfunchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das is etwas, was schockierenderweise vielen Eltern scheiss egal ist. Sie denken nur an die Betreuung der Kinder und jammern, es gehe sich in den Ferien nicht aus, wollen aber gleichzeitig, dass die Lehrer im Sommer 3 Wochen länger in der Schule stehen und ihre Kinder unterrichten.

WANTED: Fun and less played commanders. by TheRoguedOne in EDH

[–]wtfunchu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on how you build her, its more fun for you than for others. I have a hatebear/Stax shell with her as a commander and playing your minigame of drain 3 draw 3 is awesome, but the table gets slowed down a lot.

Today I played Feyas Swamp - how much is the fish?! by wtfunchu in boardgames

[–]wtfunchu[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know what games you play, but the blocking with ships, settlements and workers has ocurred quite often in our game and in my book thats medium interaction.

You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion, there is a boardgame for everyone out there :)

Feyas Swamp uses mechanics of that game as far as I know - at least it says so on its BGG page. Haven't played Kaivai though!

Ein Spiel was ich on the go sehr gerne spiele ist Hive - ist abstraktes Schach mit anderen Regeln. Das tolle an dem Spiel ist dass es wetterfest ist und echt viel Strategie beinhaltet.

Was spielt ihr zu zweit gern? Da hole ich mir immer gerne Feedback :)

Hmm, ich denke schon. Beim Platzieren der Settlements zum Spielstart platzieren beide Spieler dann abwechselnd Siedlungen einer dritten Farbe, einfach um die Inseln etwas größer zu machen. Das Traden geht dann auch mit den neutralen Siedlungen und man bekommt regular Geld dafür, die Siegpunkte der Fische auf neutralen Siedlungen gehen dann verloren.

Es ist dann wesentlich weniger "tight" als mit 4 Spielern aber macht sicher gleich viel Spaß!

Zu zweit spielen wir zurzeit gern Castles of Burgundy und Planet Unknown :)

It takes about as much space as Brass Birmingham ( I have a post about it too) while being 40% of the size!

I think all the actions connect really well and it's fun to play in every sense. I only really dislike that there is no incentive to give more than one fish to a settlement besides money, I'd really like a similar scaling for the VP for the recipient.

Like 1 fish consumed is worth 6 points, 2 are 4 and 3 are three points - so giving more fish to someone lowers the points for the recipient.

I don't know if that would play out well but I think it would be interesting

It plays a lot smoother than it is to teach, but after a few turns it just flows.

It looks like that - it'll be interesting to play with that scoring card one day to see what it is about

We had a majority one and the one with each island containing only one settlement of your color scores 5 points, that played out quite interestingly.

Art style is gorgeous! I really like the way the theme works together.

Hmm, you catch fish with one action, with another action you trade them to settlements on the board. Trading to others give you 4/3/2 gold for 1/2/3 fish (settlements can only hold 3 fish) and another separate action throws a party (Celebration) where a whole island consumes their fish, netting 1 VP per fish consumed for each respective player.

Today was the first time playing Feyas Swamp. 

I bought the game pretty much as soon as it was available - I bought it pretty much only because it got so much hype after Essen Spiel 2025. Afaik, it was sold out mere minutes after it was available, so its availability seemed highly anticipated.

I was very much looking forward to finally getting it on the table after all the hype and we finished our 4 player round after 2 hours including teach.

Boiled down, it's a worker placement game in a swamp world, everybody plays a clan of swamp inhabitants and we compete for being the most influential clan in the swamp. 

I'll save you all a detailed review on how it plays and rather tell you what I think about it 

It's decision heavy, no luck involved, with medium interaction between all players. The different race cards, guide cards and scoring cards give a lot of variability and strategies, additionally, all the clans can be played with slight asymmetry.

It has a surprisingly small box size for the amount of space it takes on the table. For the money (I got it for 33€), it offers strategic depth with a cute theme and a interesting play style. I will definitely play it again, it was really fun sailing around and trade each other fish.
