As soon as you explain to me how you can consistently win at Fluxx, I'll believe what you said here.

Well, put in the order, getting me some Dungeon Lords anniversary, Viticulture, Glass Road and Tournay was on sale for 23bux so I decided why not, it'll look nice beside Troyes and it isn't a bad game. Thanks for the input to all my dumb questions, goons. Now the only thing I'm missing is an ant game

Caverna is the better game because it weighs like 100 lbs.

I'm looking for a good 2 player card game that is not Jaipur, Star Realms, Dominion, Splendor, Imperial Settlers, Race for the Galaxy, or San Juan. I've played and enjoyed the above except for Imperial Settlers.

Hey Eminent Domain fans

We will be launching an update w/ Add On's. Escalation will be part of that, it's currently out of print but will be reprinted in tandem w/ Exotica so that they are both available in retail at the same time.

Got Dungeon Lords: Happy Anniversary in the mail today and I'm happy that it has an insert that actually seems to hold all the stuff in a reasonable manner. I used the fancy guide they posted to fit it all in but the only thing that is bothering me is that in their pictures they have cubes that are more than just red. I only have red cubes in my copy. Am I missing cubes? And if so who should I be talking to? (I haven't ever played the game before so I dunno what components are needed/bonus/whatever)


I like the cut of your jib.

The glass cubes were a kickstarter exclusive I believe.

If we reach this stretch goal you will be getting more glass cubes! You will get 20 extra glass cubes (5 for each player) to mark the spells you and the other players have already seen. You can take a look at the card again if you forget, and you can also use knowledge of who has seen which card.

That's great news, I'm going to pick up the Exotica/Escalation bundle whenever it's put up.

EvilChameleon posted:

Does that include shipping? I'm looking at the page and it says nothing about shipping. Dammit TMG / Seth, get your poo poo together. (I live in Canadurr for what it's worth.)

I am hosting a board game night in a few weeks and looking for suggestions for some 6 player games that are introductory to light weight. I have 7 wonders and Coup and am thinking about maybe picking up Libertalia or The Resistance: Avalon but would also like some other suggestions.

Played some Dungeon Lords over the weekend, holy poo poo did I get screwed by the very little randomness that game has. Traps I drew were useless, and the one time I had a strategy down pat, a random spell that forced my demon to attack the enemy in front, as opposed to that rear end in a top hat thief in the middle, completely hosed me.

Still though, that was because I wasn't managing my evil based on the adventurers coming through, or checking the combat cards at the same time, so it's partly my fault, but damnit that's the most frustrated I've been playing that game. Still so much fun, looking forward to jumping into the expansion once I've got another game or two under my belt.

Actually the whole Samurai Spirit thing raises a question...what are the good samurai-themed boardgames out there, if any?

~Welcome to the Dungeon~

burger time posted:

Uh... it's really simple. I don't think you need to play an open face round, that will only make the game confusing, because if the cards are face up, there's no game there whatsoever.

Tendales posted:

Welcome to the Dungeon is a nice enough filler game, but it triggers one of my big pet peeves: fundamental rules are just missing from the rulebook.

quote:

Like was mentioned earlier, there's no rule for what order you face the monsters. Last in first out? First in first out?

The way the turn flow goes, whoever enters the dungeon one round starts the next round. If they were eliminated, though, then the next player is ????????.

My and a a friend of mine are going for a three-day hiking trip soon. In-between gawking at the majesty of mother nature, we would like to have some kind of game to play because we are huge nerds. Do you have any suggestions for a game where:

• It can be tightly packed (even if the original box is bighuge)
  
• Doesn't weight that much
  
• Good for two players (doesn't matter if co-op or competitive)
  
• Does not require large flat surfaces.
  
• Lasts less than half an hour
  
• It's not "Just bring a deck of playing cards you nerds"
  

Mechanically we are into all kinds of things. I'd prefer good games, but given all the other restrictions I can't be too picky, as long as it's not really bad (haven't been in the thread for a while, are we allowed to diss Munchkin?). I was thinking that it would be a good opportunity to buy Dominion, but I am kinda worried about the surface required to put all the decks.

Have you considered playing The Most Dangerous Game?

fozzy fosbourne posted:

Also, Kingdom Builder is on Tabletop today so that should make things even more interesting!

Morpheus posted:

Also, if you aren't storing the cards in the little card slots...I don't even know. I guess you're a monster.

Is skull skull and roses or something els? Kind of hard to google.

CodfishCartographer posted:

So I'm hanging with friends tonight, and I fear we may wind up playing munchkin. Someone just bought it and is intent on playing it. I'll be bringing some actual good games and will trying my best to ensure we play as little munchkin as possible, but it'll probably happen at least once. Any suggestions for rule changes to make it less terrible?

Big McHuge posted:

Also, re: Lords of Waterdeep insert. It's a neat concept that falls completely flat unless you keep the box completely flat. Even with a box-band to hold it snug, every single time it was opened there was giant mess of tokens and cards waiting for me.
