I played it (Trickerion) once, without dark alleys, and honestly kinda despised it, top to bottom.

I clicked last page instead of next unread post and thought you were talking about Petz. I was very confused, especially coming from you. I also completely skipped you listing the game you're talking about but it's 85 degrees and very sunny today.

Megasabin posted:Anyone else have feelings on this game? I feel like it gets eclipsed by Anachrony and most of the discussion I see is about that game. You basically said it. It's convoluted. I only played it once, and the core is reasonable, but there is some extra weird poo poo that should have been trimmed, like the weirdo diamond pattern matching game for preparing your tricks. What on earth is that even meant to represent? It's good, but super long and super complicated, such that I have trouble imagining ever bothering to play it over the somewhat similar but much simpler Colosseum.

Is this a Kallax shelf? I’ve been looking to finally get a dedicated game shelf recently, but I’m not sure that’s exactly right for me. I’d love to get something that would keep the games out of sight, so I’ve been thinking about a couple of these: https://a.co/d/aYCcl6m I’m mainly just worried they might look cheaper and uglier in person.

I just stack all my boxes over each other on the ground in several piles arranged like a table and setup my games on top of them. The games no one wants to play end up at the bottom of the stack, finding a new purpose as they support better, stronger games.

i bought 2 of these while they were on sale. I don't like how Kallax's partition out into cubes, and i thought these looked better and were cheaper and are sturdy as all hell. The height between shelves are perfect too. https://www.target.com/p/72-5-shelf-loring-ladder-bookshelf-project-62/-/A-52581576?preselect=51485181#lnk=sametab

I just got a Folded Space organizer for Brass:Birmingham and oh man was that a pain to put together. Glue everywhere. Never buying another foam board organizer again; Tower Rex CNC plywood for me from now on. Their price point is great, like half that of CNC plywood, but I just was getting so frustrated trying to put little smears of glue on, then wiping off the beads that squeezed out as I held the pieces together to bond. Ugh. Think it's a me problem, not a Folded Space problem. If I didn't have my woodworker's glue brush (which has a sort of thin palette knife on the opposite edge that I could use to get in nooks and crannies to scrape up the excess), it would have been a real mess.

I need something like that but a max of 54" high, due to vaulted ceilings. There's a knockoff kallax but it's 56" due to thick sides, which I can still use... I just have to saw an angle into one side of the wood...

Yeah the Kallax is not the Perfect solution, but it's Good Enough for my purposes and anything was better than haphazard piles on creaky bookshelves -- at least this way I only have to move a maximum of 2-3 boxes to get to what I want

Any thoughts on if it's worth getting Oathsworn if I already have Frosthaven? My group's preferred kind of game is co-op campaign games (biggest hits being Pandemic Legacy seasons and Jaws of the Lion), and what I've seen of Oathsworn looks promising. e: FWIW I have no interest in minis interrodactyl fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Feb 2, 2023 |

It sounds like they’re rather different experiences, and if you don’t care about minis then the game isn’t so expensive especially if you can split the cost. I’d say it’s more a question of whether your group has the time to spare, than anything.

the bamboozle is people looking at a game and going “that’s a lot of money”, when they should be going “that’s a lot of time” The cost of these giant games is like $3/hr for the content, yet this thread alone is paved with the smoldering corpses of forgotten Gloomhaven campaigns and breathing the acrid dust of pandemic sticker sheets

Little bit late to the party but Trickerion is my favourite Mindclash so far - Perseverance seemed far more "complexity for complexities' sake" and Anachrony was maybe too overhyped to me that it just landed very "meh". Trickerion I wouldn't play it without Dark Alley, but have not tried it with any of the other expansions so can't comment on that. That being said, Septima is fantastic from the TTS games I've had of it, and seems to be going down the much better path of NOT doing unnecessary complexity unlike the rest of Mindclash (and other "Heavy" designers like Lacerda)

Trickerion is basically Dungeon Lords but with the humor replaced with gorgeous aesthetics, which turns out to be an acceptable tradeoff.

Everyone seemed pretty uncomfortable but being polite about her tabling a new game. She was the only one who'd played it previously (out of 5, including me) and said it was "like Cards Against Humanity" by which I naively hoped she meant "Apples to Apples" so I didn't push back. I really doubt it'll come out again even though no one came out and said "I hate this poo poo" but walking away if it does is super easy.

So I've just received 2 copies of Frosthaven. However I definitely only ordered one, and one has come from Germany whereas the other came from my normal distribution route (Aetherworks) - I live in Western Australia for the record. I've already unpacked the one delivered to me via the normal route, and I feel like sending the other back would just cost them more money, especially if it ends up going back to Germany. What would you do, goons? Return it or redistribute it?
