Last I heard, Vlaada was still working on lighter fare and the TTA expansion which wrapped earlier this year but had printing issues. I'd be a little surprised if he puts out anything heavy any time soon. He seems to have enjoyed settling into the post-Codenames life.

SU&SD hinted in their podcast back in April that Vlaada is working on a new game that "isn't a party game." Unless they were referring to the TtA expansion.

poemdexter posted:My girlfriend isn't into board games but super into deck building games. We got dominion and played the poo poo out of it and thinking about grabbing expansions. We also bought the harry potter hogwarts battle against the dark arts game for my daughter. Turns out that's a deck building game and we play it more than dominion now. If you're still looking, Puzzle Strike and Arctic Scavengers are options as well.

Tekopo posted:Yes and no. It's simple but honestly once you get past the learning stage it's not very interesting. Did some mini-reviews of all the COINS in the wargames thread After playing both side of colonial twilight in solo mode last week I would like to hear why you suggest playing the pivotal events. Outside of reading them over a few times I ignored them because I didn’t understand why I would want to use one.

They start with the best opportunity for rapid expansion, and the most powerful ability in the game - the ability to skip turns without taking an action, whichis huge in a game about making your big plays after everyone else has passed.

Yssaril have to discard an action card to stall, they can't do it indefinitely. They're still a good race but they're not broken like 3rd edition.

I won my first game with Nekro. I definitely wouldn't recommend for first time players because they remove an entire element from the game for themselves but having a permanent rider every vote is powerful. Like in real life people will vote against their best interest if it means denying you free stuff and that's my favorite thing about the Nekro.

Tekopo posted:Regaining momentum by becoming first eligible. Removing a stronger enemy event from play. Pivotal events aren’t really played for the event itself (although you are forced to play them for the event). Thank you. That makes more sense I need to bust it out again during my Christmas break.

 spirit looks cool though. I noted that he says that "late in the game you'll be making like 10 stone per turn!" But... what's the point of that? The top power has 7.

Bottom Liner posted:That’s really weird considering how careful Ruess has been with the topics presented in the game so far. Yikes. This one is particularly weird because there's an older card with a similar effect that has the exact same art concept, so somehow they wound up hiring this guy to redraw existing card art but with worse proportions and sassy DreamWorks face. I almost wonder if this one was somehow a reject for the older card that got recycled, but I have no idea if that would be at all plausible with their art process.

I guess a deadline and development issues forced them to find a guy who is both reliable and very quick. It looks bad though, especially set next to all other cards I've seen.

Avoid factions that break the rules too much as a first priority and then avoid the "weaker" races as second priority. Rule breakers: Arborec Ghosts Nekro Saar Weaker: Sardak (they are simpler, but start on the back foot) Winnu (they have one gimmick and if they don't get it, they're screwed) Muaat (their eggs are all in one fragile basket)

Thanks for all the responses on ti4 races, we'll avoid them and hopefully have a game that doesn't get too bogged down. We're hoping to finish up in six hours, and include a few more public objectives initially to speed that up.

I had these guys and it was miserable. I'm not good at the game but I swear I did my best and I am unsure who thought it was a great idea to design a race solely around being the best at putting a huge goddamn target on their back with poor responses to it.
