Kobayakawa is 15 cards numbered 1-15. You can use unused cards for the chips. Entropy is ten cards per player (up to 4) plus two wild cards and an Anchor (use a coin). There's some text, but if you can have a card ability reference sheet it can theoretically be played without modifying the cards at all.

After playing it twice I have decided to reject Feast for Odin for philosophical reasons. A game about vikings should not be multiplayer solitaire to such a degree.

I'll translate, and let me know if I'm wrong. You are willing to reject a game because its theme does not match its mechanics. That is a valid reason to reject a game, in my opinion, just want to make sure that's what you mean. Though it's a shame unless you *actually* just don't like multiplayer solitairy games, which is of course also valid.

How many people did you play it with? It's certainly not for everybody, but I don't get the multiplayer solitaire critique at all. Maybe it's just cause I also really love trying to help my friends out during the game, but with 2 people I've had the most fun playing. So it sounds like there's enough interest for a weekly(is that too frequent?) AFfO challenge, I'll draw up the OP over my break and hopefully get it rolling by the 27th. Any input is much appreciated!

It wasn't an entirely serious post and more meant as a warning to anyone excited about Feast that it is multiplayer solitaire. It's a good game, so I'd still play it. But I prefer high (direct) player interaction in general so it's not a game I absolutely love and I definitely won't get it for myself. e: Johnny Truant posted:How many people did you play it with? It's certainly not for everybody, but I don't get the multiplayer solitaire critique at all. Maybe it's just cause I also really love trying to help my friends out during the game, but with 2 people I've had the most fun playing. It felt more confrontational with 3. At least there was some competition for emigration spaces near the end. Still not a lot of interaction, though.

Yeah, direct player interaction is kind of limited in the game. There are a few occupation cards that let you "steal" certain special pieces from opponent's boards, but... you just replace them with blues that fit exactly like the piece.

Compared to Rosenberg's other games there is little direct competition compared to something like Agricola. His other games will have one space that do something like important like create new workers while in Odin if you miss the 1-viking hunting space there's always the 2-viking hunting space. I haven't played 4 player but even then you get two extra actions that copy other actions so it's not like there's a bloodbath over action spaces. I think it says a lot that this is big in solitaire circles with video game leaderboard challenges and poo poo. And I too enjoy giving my opponents advice on taking the most advantage of their board, something I don't do at all in Agricola when I'm hoping their little family starves and their lovely farmland gets consumed by weeds. At no point do I feel like I'm outplaying my opponents, just playing Tetris with wolf pelts and big meat.

Neither of these things is bad per se, of course, but they do allow you to play around each other.

Multi-player solitaire is the solution to co-op games "quarterbacking" problem.

Haha I think you've 100% sold me on Agricola just by your hopes and dreams of opponent's farms withering and dying  I guess I never really realized but yeah I really do enjoy leaderboard challenge types of things, so it makes sense why I'm still balls-deep in AFfO.Rutibex posted:Multi-player solitaire is the solution to co-op games "quarterbacking" problem. True, although I've never had this problem, really. Pandemic Legacy has me and three friends, one of whom is as loud and obnoxious as I am, but we never really have a "NO WE GOTTA DO IT THIS WAY" or a single person basically holding the reins, we're always discussing every option. Even when there's pretty much a clear cut strategy for our current turn(Karachi is gonna be hosed oh goooooooooooood!) we still discuss everybody's ideas and only finalize our moves once we all agree. But ymmv, right?

 They're like 8 x 6.5 feet and I'm still worried that I won't fit everything in but this should force me into a nice non crippling if you buy one, one's gotta come out policy e: also there's nothing more fun than getting hit and run on the way to game night, luckily the damage was really light and cosmetic but man gently caress some people T-Bone fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Dec 23, 2016 |

You have wasted your time and money"? It is a bad game, but it was the first to try the Legacy thing and there are rule changes to make games go way faster than usual. It never overstayed it's welcome when I played it, although I wouldn't do a second campaign. Fat Samurai fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Dec 23, 2016 |

Feasts is not as multi-player solitaire as it seems upon the first few plays. Lots of competition for whaling and games of chicken for the islands.

This is a dumb question, but I recently saw a Kickstarter or something for a fold up table with a felt top and some other features being sold as a gaming table and I was awfully intrigued. The collapsible card table I have is a bit on the small side for certain games, and we don't have enough room in the apartment to have a big honking game table taking up a bunch of space. I probably should just get a larger cheapo card table, but the felt top seems so nice!

I wouldn't spend money on it. Look for something labeled as a folding picnic table. They're usually 6' or more which is plenty for most games. A table is like $30 and enough felt to cover it is less than $10. You can even wash the felt if you have pets or spill drinks which you can't really do when it's built into the table.

Texibus posted:How is Mombasa? Ignore the theme, it's awful. I quite like the game, after two plays. Lorini is trading it away, for what seem like valid reasons that I won't really get annoyed at until a few more plays, probably. So I'd say, play it, buy it if you really like it but be warned it may not have lasting power.

There was an Indie Boards & Cards KS version of Coup that had different artwork for each of the different Dukes, Captains, Assassins, etc. It absolutely hurts the game and wasn't intended by the original designer. If you're making your own copy of Coup, it's highly recommended that all copies of each character be completely identical.CaptainRightful posted:Does it say "Risk is a bad game.

That's a good price for Armada, but TBH I always see people unloading their Armada collections at firesale prices because they don't have enough time to play that and the other games they like. The Star Wars games sell and trade group on Facebook has frequent deals
