I'm part of one niche forum whose hosting died that was reincarnated 3-5 years ago, and we still get posts of "I just found out the place is back!" Well, there is a centralized location other than SA for SA board game goons to check... Ok, actually there's two of those places. I very much doubt BGG or Discord are going to die anytime soon.

Chill la Chill posted:The individually bagged containers were because of the paint used. Many people’s bags of additional 15 containers ended up being dried together. Just wondering, but if either of you didn’t get the additional 15, did you also get the note that talked about rushing out the shipment and getting a replacement 15 later? Curious. Remind me to open mine tomorrow. I did get the extra 15.

A friend brought a Print n' Play of SPQF (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1312152563/spqf-deckbuilding-in-the-forests-of-antiquity?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=spqf) to game night yesterday. It's a mix of Eminent Domain and Glory to Rome. And that's really all I have to say about it. It plays like a bare-bones mix of Eminent Domain and Glory to Rome. Owning both of those games means I have no interest in owning SPQF. If you own neither of those, it might be worth checking out. It's not bad, just simplistic.

Unboxing Container right now. A couple of questions: 1) Lorini, do you still need a writeup for the Investment Bank, or did you find the rules for it? 2) Should I bother with the Investment Bank? I know it's there to alleviate the Death SpiralTM of the original version, but I figure if you point that out while teaching, it shouldn't be too much of an issue, and I absolutely loved the time I played the original version. 3) I got the 15 extra containers. Is the shorter game significantly different in any way other than "shorter"? 4) Why are all of the containers individually bagged?!

Lorini posted:I got the investment rules. Container really needs repeated play with four or five, not something I can expect to happen currently. Cool. I think it's mostly a complex rules patch for something that actually does a good job of simulating an actual capitalist enterprise, so I probably won't be using them. I hope people like it enough that I can get a bunch of plays out of my copy.

Sloober posted:
Dahan only do damage after the invaders ravage. All effects of a power must happen in a single land (unless the power itself says otherwise). Pay attention to the ranges of your cards. It's easy to forget restrictions on the target land, or whether or not you need a Sacred Site for that power.

Gravy Jones posted:Adding them to the list! Someone had mentioned Champions of Midgard in the past, but in my head I think I'd confused it with A Feast For Odin, which is probably a bit too much (and considerably less beating up monsters). I'd look into Argent: the Consortium. Might be a bit above what you're looking for, but sounds like something he'd grow into.

Happy this year, thread! (I think we need a new one) I really wish I could play my favorites more often. I need to play more Argent and Millennium Blades. Also more Spirit Island, but I get to play that one a lot.

The End posted:So I'm trying to bodge together a google sites/sheets/forms implementation of Container, but I'm scratching my head when it comes to how to manage hidden scoring card allocation. Anyone got any good solutions for how to do hidden info without using vassal or similar? The BattleCON sheets use salted hashes. You could give each player a string indicating which card they have, then add a random string to the end and hash the whole thing, putting it in the sheet. At the end of the game, you reveal your string and compare to the hash.

Morpheus posted:Also played Deception three times, was the murderer twice, and man, hearing someone else get repeatedly accused of a crime that I committed is just so great. Have any of you guys played the expansion, and does it add anything to the game (on the unlikely chance I spot it somewhere)? I felt that the base game didn't have enough going on to be interesting to play over Avalon. I feel that adding the extra roles from the expansion makes Deception an excellent alternative. I personally would rather play Avalon with all the bells and whistles over any form of Deception, but that does not stop Deception from being very good, especially with the expansion.

wizzardstaff posted:I’ve never played it myself but my understanding is that Captain Sonar is best at its full player count of 8 people. The game also plays well at 6 because one of the roles is about half a role, but sometimes you have a 7th or 8th that really only wants to do that much.

BattleCON (Bacon) and Exceed are both card games that simulate fighting games. Each character has their own unique cards, making them something akin to Keyforge.

What those two said. I still play with Power Progression when teaching this game, even after a bajillion plays, because it works.

Memnaelar posted:No mention of Tribune among Rome-themed games? Shame. See, the thing about Tribune is that it’s a fun game that has [i]something[/ i] fundamentally wrong with it, and I can’t seem to figure out what that is. It’s NOT the leaders, except maybe the Vestal Virgins leader. It’s NOT the weirdness that is faction control, except maybe the Vestal Virgins. It’s not the convoluted steps needed to get the Tribune victory condition, although the Vestal Virgins help with that... Ok, l might have found the problem.
