GreenBuckanneer posted:I only use them sometimes if there's no good other options to draw cards and I keep drawing loving garbage Villages make no difference to whether or not you're drawing garbage because your deck would be the same net size without the Village. They are themselves garbage unless you have enough terminals to require all the extra actions, and even that edge case generally means you've bought too many terminals.

Selecta84 posted:Yeah, the game is just better with the expansion and all the new parts integrate very nicely. More viable strategies and not really that many more rules. It's not one of those cases where the game needs the expansion, though. It just isn't quite the same game.

If a game is improved by house ruling, that means the original game designer is worse at his job than a random player.

taser rates posted:Or that the player has different goals from the designer, eg hidden trackable information. I wouldn't call revealing hidden trackable information a house ruling in most cases. You can always tell everyone else things that normally only you would know even if you are hiding the information. The "House rule" just a gentleman's agreement that you will all do it.

Mayveena posted:The Command and Colors series. Start with Ancients and ignore the magic based one. The problem with C&C is you can't play it with three. It's strictly two players (or two teams of three with the Epic kit).

Fate Accomplice posted:Modern Art Seconding Keyflower. Also if you can find a copy cheap - and I've seen CGE selling it for €10 - League of Six by Vladimir Suchy is a pro pickup. The meat of the game is Musical Chairs conducted in a series of bid-offs for the right to collect goods from one of six cities, with the twist that all payouts are immediate. So you can bid to lose in one city and use your pay-off to win in the city you really wanted. I got the base game for £5 in a clearance sale and it's the best VFM I've ever had from a game. There's also a cheap expansion (I got it for €6) that is well worth acquiring.

Mayveena posted:For some reason they need money according to Bloomberg. So if they need major amounts of money then they can go public, which they apparently don't want to do or I guess they are doing this. No, they can't raise their rates, gamefound has already left them and if they raise their rates, more will go to gamefound or create something else that doesn't need money. The cynic says they need more money to make the executive management billionaires but who knows. Yeah, it definitely sounds to me like their admin costs are now eating into their profits. Probably not exceeding them, but not making them rich as fast as they'd like either.

Leperflesh posted:There are people who are introduced to this game by a gamer friend who bought the thing, and if their only point of contact is the actual box and game materials, I can understand why they might be shocked by the level of disgust and animosity that posting about it here engenders. However I can't think of a way to shelter people from that shock, that doesn't also involve asking people not to be angry about the poo poo in Kingdom Death, and well, I'm loving angry about it too, you know? The only answer to that is to ostracise people who support KDM. I see them as the sexual imagery equivalent of that guy in the famous post about redefining the rules of chess - you support them and they'll lick their lips and say "care for a game?" To which all you can say is no. You either play a proper game, or you don't play with us. And I'd forgotten just how bad the first Kickstarter campaign was. The gameplay expansions are a contents list and a small sketch that in all but one case is black and white. The minis that would make Goreans blush but which KDM fans always insist have no connection to actual gameplay and you don't have to buy them? 3D test images of the minis accompanied by full colour art. And as I recall there was no rulebook or gameplay video available when it launched, maybe not ever. It doesn't matter what is and is not in the core box. It's obvious that the game was only ever a way to sell titty minis and worse, and was quite probably only created in the run-up to - or after - the campaign. Now as I understand it that was de-emphasised in the second campaign, but even so; it's still the same people and I've had enough of a glimpse into their heads that I don't want to support them or anything they do.

What exactly was Ion's involvement with Crusader Kings? I don't see any of the usual suspects credited, Fria Lagan handled all the publicity and the campaign, all there is is an Ion logo on the box.

PRADA SLUT posted:I back for a discount on the game that I would probably buy anyway, and also for some smaller games that might not get released otherwise. You run the risk of the game sucking, but I haven't hit a bad game yet. Once you figure out what you like it’s easier to navigate the Kickstarter options. I buy everything from Mindclash, for instance. I'm in agreement with most of this, but only an idiot backs on Kickstarter for a discount. Once shipping on an individual game is accounted for you're often lucky to get it at what you'd pay at retail. And the games that offer actual discounts have a higher risk of not fulfilling. I've not been stung yet, but there's always a risk.
