Played CitOW yesterday as purple guy/lady/sexmonster, new cards (I know, I know). Was very lucky to have nobles drop in the first two regions, so I set up camp there and build a wall of claws in the third region, next to the Empire. Then it was a matter of picking Noble upgrades (can move them when moving a cultist, add 1 point to my Domination value and my big demon counts as 3 noble tokens) and I was able to consistently Dominate and tick on that area while keeping people away, and slowly adding corruption to the regions so they would score on the 4-5th Ruin card. I even manage to Dominate the Empire when a lucky Old World card prevented battles there. I prefer the old upgrades, but it's still a good game.

dropkickpikachu posted:Does Legends of Andor hold up well compared to some of the coop games that have come out since then? That's a pretty good discount on it. House Louse posted:You can also lose the game instantly by drawing the wrong card. Mister Sinewave posted:Re Legends of Andor I'm in the minority but I liked the game. But I have come to realize it is helpful to let people know it is a "tactically solve this specific mission of a problem with your limited time and resources" game. It is not a "stab monsters inna face to take their stuff & level up" game. The first two or three "missions" I quite enjoyed. It's the one where set-up is randomly determined that sucks, and where my gaming group (which includes House Louse) basically stopped. As Mister Sinewave says, it's a puzzle game. It is NOT D&D Magical Murder Hobos: The Game. Focusing on killing monsters will cost you the game. It is a bit tense, as sometimes it'll look like you're just about to lose, and bam! You'll find the right movement and win. The last mission my group played, though, has random set-up rules, and we basically lost the game in the set-up phase, but took us two turns to see it. We haven't played it since. I enjoyed the game up until that level, and am tempted to drag it back out and maybe just skip that mission to see what the next one holds. Though maybe that's "cheating".

The correct answer is gently caress Tom Vasel by covering his face with his dumb hat, marry Wil Wheaton because he's a cuc.k anyways, and kill Rutibex becsuse he's too dumb to fight back.

I think a phone would be perfectly serviceable to play with.

Hey guys, how is Star Trek Ascendancy different from Mage Knight, rules-wise? I'd like a copy of Mage Knight but with a Star Trek coat of paint - but I'm not so keen on adulterated Mage Knight.

Played Scythe for the first time last night and had a bad first impression with it. It was a four player game and two persons already played it like three or four times, but basically they completely destroyed us two newbies. They both did like 100+ points and left the others in the 30-40 range. There was basically little we could do about it and we both agreed right there that we weren't going to play it again in a long while. Is it always like that? I was really excited about playing it and the game left me flat and that's weird, because I love worker placement games.

Dungeons and ruins replaced with away missions which you assign crew (units) to fight. Can be won with diplomacy (influence). Crew take damage in this phase, not the ship. -Ship combat lets you block partial damage but crew can't be used to block. Your ship's defense is 1 unless you have an uninjured crew to "captain" the ship. Other than that it's literally Mage Knight with different art.

Quite a few games are like that, even Tokaido can get that way.

There was basically little we could do about it and we both agreed right there that we weren't going to play it again in a long while. I would blame the players instead of the game. They should have been counseling you on what actions are important when, and explaining their goals enough that you'd have a chance to counter them (or better yet, pointing out what the other experienced player was doing and suggesting how to stop them). At the very least, they should have been giving you some advice on how to make more efficient and effective choices. Consistently performing both a top and bottom row action really improves your game. An experienced player crushing a newbie so that they don't want to play the game again counts as a real-life strategic loss, in my opinion. For what it's worth, I've yet to play a game of Scythe that had a runaway leader or huge point disparity by the end.

Quite a few games are like that, even Tokaido can get that way. I'd say the biggest advantage that a veteran player would have is being able to see when the game is about to end and knowing when to start grabbing up territory. Scythe doesn't have any cards or events to reveal mid-game that would take a new player by surprise. If I'm calculating this correctly, a perfect game (maximum popularity, all six stars, every possible unit and building controlling a separate territory, including the factory, with maximum building bonus) would get you 115 points plus whatever cash and resources you had at the end. The second place player wouldn't have a sixth star or the factory and could get a maximum of 102 plus cash and resources. I can't imagine two players breaking 100 in one game unless they were doing something wrong or did a really poor job of teaching the game to the others. E: forgot that the factory counts as 3 territories. I've only played a few games but the highest score I saw was low 80's. Lowest was maybe 40.

Yeah, I figured that much.... thank you guys.Medium Style posted:If one person is scoring 100+ points, let alone two people, you were probably doing something wrong. It was funny when they started going "oh, I forgot to tell you about this thing" right after they did it. It was once of those times when I really wished I was a rules lawyer... I suppose I'll go check the rules one of this days. Thanks again. Edit: Medium Style posted:If I'm calculating this correctly, a perfect game (maximum popularity, all six stars, every possible unit and building controlling a separate territory with maximum building bonus) would get you 107 points plus whatever cash and resources you had at the end. I can't imagine two players breaking 100 in one game unless they were doing something wrong or did a really poor job of teaching the game to the others. One did 103 and the other did 101, they never fought once while I made the mistake of attacking the other newbie early for an encounter token, I was Polania. I didn't expect she would put all her power into that fight but she did and I lost. I guess that was it for us. Talas fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Aug 7, 2016 |

I've been browsing boardgamegeek trying to find something for the wife and I to play on our own that will also be good for group boardgames night without consuming a whole evening. 2) I originally thought it wouldn't work that well with 2 since using the routes and resources other players make available is a big part of the game, but it's actually still good. It definitely felt like we were getting into each others way a turn later than in a 3 or 4 player game, but the game still functioned. 3) It's not a heavy game by any means but there's a lot of player interaction and variable setup, so there's still a lot of depth. 4) The board and art in general are very pretty and there are pig meeples.

Kemet question: Can I use a day DI card during a battle? I'm trying to use two DI cards in battle: one to gain 2 prayer points, the other to py prayer point and gain an attack. If not, can I use it directly before the battle on an opponent's turn? Shadow225 fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Dec 19, 2016 |

Got a game of Vast in earlier, 3p with Cave, Dragon, Knight. Barely won as Knight, Dragon had just woken up and would have made it to the exit next turn. I think 4p is better, but this was definitely interesting. Enjoyed it quite a bit but I think I'll be hunting for 4p next time.

Cave feels very much a non-player imo. I think they need faster way to get tiles out, since that is almost completely at the behest of everyone else. I tried it out at gen con with 5 with me as the cave. It's interesting but you can't even start your win condition until long after the others are near theirs. By the time a player won i still had about 1/3rd the stack left, and that is just to start trying to win.
