Looking at the Rising Sun gameplay video, the Betray option makes no sense. I thought it could only affect your ally, but it seems like you can target anyone on the board with your substitutions? That seems powerful as gently caress.

Academy Games' 878 Vikings: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/617871702/878-vikings-invasions-of-england There is an early bird pledge level that expires on Monday 3/20, but it only saves $5. I've never played any of their other historical games (all I have are Fief and Mare Nostrum, which are based on older designs), so I'd love to hear someone weighing in.

Peas and Rice posted:Is Gloomhaven that good? I'm almost convinced to back it just from the buzz here. There's a lot of game to it and what I've played of said game is pretty good. I'm hoping that the scenarios get more creative than the monster closet type designs that I've seen thus far, but here's hoping!

Mojo Jojo posted:Just a reprint? Or an expansion. Like Jedit said, it's basically kinda both, except the other is an expandalone. Here is the BGG announcement thread with scant additional details: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/1499425/roxley-games-publish-brass-2017 Edit: I think there was some rights drama between Wallace and Eagle Gryphon Games, so this would be a more "official" version or something?

Crossroads of Heroes looks like it has a great theme (wuxia) and aesthetic with what sounds like really boring and noncompelling gameplay. I bring it up mostly for someone to make a better game out of these parts, thanks.

Agent Rush posted:Has anyone looked into Petrichor? It certainly sounds interesting especially with that quote about Dominant Species, but I'm not sure whether to get this or just grab DS instead. Grab Dominant Species because you can get it and play it now and it also owns. Mean, though, so be warned if you're playing with people who don't like the fact that "Survival of the fittest" sometimes means you eat each other or starve an entire species out or cause a volcano to erupt.

Tekopo posted:So the Kitchen Rush kickstarter is finally live, and (although I'm biased), the game looks really good from what I've seen so far. No rules out yet, but Rahdo's video pretty much shows 90% of the rules so it's a good starting point. As much as I dislike Kickstarter exclusives, there is basically no reason to back this right now over waiting to get it on CSI for cheaper. I don't know what MSRP is, but even a 20% discount plus a promo pack of additional orders (or whatever) would go a long way.

Leperflesh posted:This thread seems to have missed the Kickstarer for a new Thunderstone... That's because Thunderstone was poo poo iirc. I'm not sure if "Quest" changes things, but I distinctly remember yawning throughout the Thunderstone experience. At least Ascension has an app. Rhaegar posted:Thoughts on the Lords of Hellas kickstarter draft? Kickstarter starts June 6th. The first thing I see advertised is a Kickstarter exclusive that would cost an extra 5 gbp to anyone who doesn't get in on Day 1, and that is enough for me to disregard the rest of the project. But scrolling down I also see some nice cleavage on Athena, who was definitely not known for being a virgin or anything.

Send an email telling them that you won't support their KS because of exclusives like that. Also, Deception was a worse experience than Mysterium for my group, since a lot of the questions are just useless, so it's sort of a crapshoot of you having a really easy time vs a really hard time. "What day of the week did the crime happen" is such an infinitely more useless question than even something like "What room did the crime happen in"

Pyrolocutus posted:I'm actually interested in CW since my friends are getting into board games more these days. Replayability is good, I assume? Which expansion might be the best if I just get the $200 bonus? I would go with Yog Sothoth just because it's the most canonical of the bunch. It also has the benefit of wanting to poo poo out gates/take over gates and get into fights with other factions, so it tends to be pretty active (They Break Through + The Beyond One is also hilariously assholish).

Argent: The Consortium 2nd Edition just launched. I'm getting the upgrade just for the new base system because wow did the old one not work in practice. Argent is probably my favorite worker placement, though. It does suffer from a bit too much "stuff" (they could have probably cut out items and be fine), but the mechanics of the various types of "workers" is fun, as is the magic system.

Mojo Jojo posted:I'm amazed at how the funding for Founders of Gloomhaven has ground to a halt. I was expecting it to blow up. Founders doesn't really incentivize anyone to back it except maybe (?) cheaper than online retail prices. As far as I can tell, there are no exclusives (good), no promos, no content stretch goals to really pull at people to get more bang for their buck. It doesn't even have particularly splashy art or anything. If it weren't for Gloomhaven, which was remarkable in the sheer breadth of content that later panned out to be actually good content, there's no real reason to look at Founders besides as "just another Euro." Argent is just a second edition of a game that didn't get the hype push that Gloomhaven did, so I'm not that surprised it's not exactly spiking up. Not to mention anime may (?) be a harder sell than whatever weird fantasy aesthetic Gloomhaven goes for. Note that it is still pretty on track for beating the 1st edition's modest ~$140k, but if I recall, the previous Indines Kickstarter overestimated demand, judging by the stretch goals.

And pointing to an aggregate score just absolves lazy people from having to actually explaining what they like about the game. God forbid we apply something resembling critical thought to board game reviews. yegods basically just pointed to the BGG rating, said that it's good, and then tried to guilt sell the game to someone with a nice dash of condescension on top of it.

Christophe Boelinge, of Dungeon Twister, Earth Reborn, and Archipelago fame, has a new game on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/antonioooh/living-planet-by-christophe-boelinger Unfortunately, the Kickstarter's English seems a bit stilted, which seems to have also transferred to the (WIP) manual. I'm still not quite sure how the game actually plays, especially in regards to the cataclysm since that part is kinda messy, but goddamn that guy makes good games.
