Well, apparently when someone says that they are selling the base box they mean they are literally selling the box. Empty. What's the point of this? Impressing my friends with my taste in boardgames? :psyduck:

Thanks for the answers. Now I want to buy the game...

Probably got the anniversary edition box with the expansions and extras.

Pretty sure that was a tier.

I've only rage quit once I think it was called neptun or something like that it was supposed to be an hour long but after two we we're only half way through it. No one was enjoying it and my ride back home was planning to leave.

Just for the record: I actually have not played DoW and I agree with the thread hivemind's objections to it, so I probably never will. I'm just familiar with the rules thanks to Table Top and Watch It Played. My objection is more questioning if we really need to sass a rando who is just asking a question about a very popular game.

Also the burn came to me so I had to use it, even though I was honestly hopeful that your KS would be successful.

Yes because the game is bad and he shouldn't play it.

In the last 6 months I've played basically every game I own at least once with the excepting of two player games and crap I'm trying to get rid of. And so today I'm off to my board game club tonight with none of my games for once.

So I got my copy of Dungeon Lords Happy Anniversary. There are only 4 of those plastic token containers inside. The images showing how to arrange the bits on their website show them using 7 containers. Did they leave some out or is that normal? If it's normal is there a way to order extras? Also not sure where to put the 4 small round tokens with clown faces or the 5 gear tokens with rounded centers. Either way, going to take me a while to get all of these stickers applied.

The extra 3 were kickstarter bonuses

You can't quite see all the games tucked away in the closet back there, so I took them out. Also pictured another shelf of my games elsewhere:



It is highly dense, and therefore at the bottom. It would crush games if it was on top. I don't often get the chance to dig to it so I took some pics of it as well now that it is out of the bottom of the pile. I keep it in the Pathfinder Cards box, because I have some option rules that allow you to mix the two together (and there is ample room in the box :v:):

For such a complex game, it's pretty straightforward in flow, it's quite Euro-ish in that way, and the manual is clearer than most Eurogames out there. The only part that could have been better in the manual is the difference between dominating a hex (ie having the highest product of elements and adaptations for a given hex) and having the most species on a hex, which are both important for the Dominance action. Also, keep in mind that the single biggest source of points is going to be the end-game scoring, between the ice age dominance card, the last Survival scoring, and the final phase where each hex is scored separately.

with regard to this Dominant Species is pretty much at the top of the list of games I need to play, along with Mage Knight.

On one hand, this is getting too much for my continued belief in existence of Rutibex, and on the other this is far too elaborate for a simple troll/gimmick. Rutibex is either a CIA cell or an ingenious FFG shill paid to silence the critics of its best-seller.

[edit] For fucks sake, he even did youtube minecraft videos back in the day, this is just too perfect to be real.

I'm looking for a not-ridiculously-heavy Euro that sits a variable number of people (up to 5). Looking at Archipelago, it seems to be well regarded (depictions of aborigines excluded ) and it also has a solo expansion, which could be fun.

A question for those who have played One Night + Daybreak. I picked the two up for a party this weekend and I'd like input on the roles I picked out for a ten player game.

Mason x2
Werewolf x2
Mystic Wolf
Hunter
Bodyguard
Insomniac
Witch
Tanner
Seer
Robber
Minion

I felt that at ten people the wolves should have a shot at four players which is why I threw in the Mystic Wolf and I figured as long as I had access to more interesting villager team roles that it didn't make sense to have anyone being just a vanilla Villager, but having never played the game before I'm aware I may have no idea what I'm talking about. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to change, if any? I'd rather not use Doppelganger, Village Idiot, or Curator, but anything else I'm cool with.

Troublemaker is always fun.

Played game of thrones tonight with the dance with dragons expansion. I was Tyrell so I was a target pretty much the entire game so I decided to hell with it and went hyper aggressive ended cycling my cards 3 times the game ended on the final round with me controlling 4 castles all three tokens and finishing third. Greyjoy won with stark just behind and the rest 2 castles behind me.

Also, when you say "I don't get all the hate" in a place full of said hate, you're kind of implicitly inviting people to explain the hate.

I taught Terra mystica to a guy who was relatively new to board games a few weeks ago he obviously didn't do well but this last week he asked me to bring it again, so its obviously not as off putting to new gamers as people are making out.

Yes, that's indeed $500 and change for Imperial Assault. Only copy on sale in the country I could find after a day of googling.

Jeeze for that price you could almost have it shipped from the US and have a monk hand illuminate the translation.
