S.J. posted:I'd be using ultra-pro pro-mattes, so it'd take up a little more space than penny sleeves. But I might buy a few just to try out and if it doesn't work they can definitely be used in other games. Hmm... I'm going to say no, it's too tight. Just tried my AGoT cards in there and yeah that's very tight.

How well does the game scale up/down in terms of player numbers? How long does it take to play?

Andarel posted:Four player game with all of us playing at as relaxed a pace as you're going to get was often ~2 hours including setup and teardown (both of which take a while because the stack is ginormous per the current rules). Two player game was closer to an hour and a quarter, but because each timed round is 25 minutes (20 minutes + reading cards + making packs) you can't get below that hour and a quarter mark. Tournaments are pretty quick because people know what they want, but some abilities can be a bit fiddly when they require naming cards or otherwise making decisions based on other people's boards. That's pretty good, although my group tends to add an excruciating amount of time to almost all games. ... No! I don't have room/time/money for this!

I gotta say these reports of marked differences in the card backs for DoI and the various extended bits I have on order is really depressing. I don't want to have to sleeve my poo poo

The dungeon crawl thing is actually super fun and a great way to learn some of the stuff your character can pull off.

Roluth posted:Played Pixel Tactics Deluxe for the first time at a board game club. Took 2 hours to get 2 games done, and basically emptying both decks the second time. Won the second game because all my opponent's heroes were gone, and his leader had 0 attack. First impressions: this game can get really slow if both people keep throwing intercepts in front of their leaders. I kinda wish the game had some sort of mechanic to quickly end the game if one deck is empty. Is this a typical experience with Pixel Tactics? Are 4 or 5 better in this regard? Should I have just drafted in the first place? Are you sure you played it right? Killing off intercept heroes is not difficult. Make sure you've understood the idea of who's in melee, that heroes only die (from damage rather than effects) at the end of the wave, and that they leave a corpse, and that you can't recruit a new hero into the free slot from hand unless it's that wave, etc.

It will take them forever to develop it. There's so many different cards with different interactions and they're not very quick at this. Go for the physical version.

I watched a twitch stream of Brad playing Exceed against someone and after 20 minutes of virtually nothing happening I am none the wiser about how good this game I've backed might actually be. I like streamers who remember they have viewers...

PJOmega posted:I've done enough package management to know why they didn't do this, but I really wish the Millennium Blades box was deep enough to hold some BCW cardboard boxes. The licenced MDF box insert is an absolute godsend. Played it again today and shuddered at the idea of using anything else.

Yeah, that looks as useful as the official insert which saves a heap of time. There's no getting round the fact that teardown is gong to take ages in this game.

It aggravates me how hard it is to get friends to play Battlecon. It's easier to get them to play LCGs with me and they're not even particularly good at those or enjoy the process that much (and hate deckbuilding). Why! This makes no sense! <looks mournfully at the complete set of Indines boxes>

Lemon-Lime posted:This is also a problem in FGs - so much of playing the game well depends on being able to predict what the opponent is likely to do next and countering it, which isn't something you can do when the other side is so inexperienced that they have no idea what not to do and when not to do it. This is even more true for the card games I play but they seem to not struggle here. Battlecon is much better for giving you only a limited number of possibilities and telling you what all of them are.

I will never understand the shovel knight popularity. I found Exceed (season 2) weirdly difficult to grok, though watching them play season 3 in a stream made it seem super straightforward. Maybe I'm just too used to BattleCON.

This looks fun, but I'm not sure how happy I am with it being one of the new kickstarters that's essentially delaying Seventh Cross. I'm worried about that game.

Spoke to the guys handling fulfillment for the UK for BattleCON Unleashed and they hope to start shipping this month, but no promises. Helpful bunch - lockdown meant I couldn't get it delivered to my work address any more and they were very easy to deal with.

Yeah, taking it slow and doing it box by box is working okay for me so far. It's a strange feeling throwing away so many cards Or, well, putting them to the side because throwing them away feels like asking for trouble at this stage
