Lmao. Did you play with people who knew the game already? That’s so rude of them.

MikeCrotch posted:Had a bad experience with Spirit Island like this on NYE Something similar here, though also bad judgement on my part. I brought Spirit Island to a friend, and was pretty new at it myself. I expected that the two of them would pick up on the game pretty easily, but 3p SI is a lot bigger than 1p, so I didn't do the best job at explaining it either since I definitely had to look up some interactions myself. I absolutely love the game, but it was pretty clear that they were having a tough time (they're not used to bigger games like this either). Sucks, should have brought Wingspan. The booze didn't help.

Kalko posted:Spirit Island Trip Report: I set it up in new player mode and picked the lightning dude and promptly lost three games in a row. Wow, this game is pretty hard! So I tried ditching the recommended power progression cards for a few games and it felt like I was doing better, but I still kept losing. So I looked online to see if I was playing any rules incorrectly and nope, looks like I had everything sorted. And people on BGG and Reddit were saying they found the tutorial easy! Lmao. I played shadows flicker like flame because he looked cool. My friend played the stone dude. Yeah, we didn’t really have the offense to get back in the game after slacking off for a few turns. Since then I’ve played the steam game a ton, and I adore the game now that I’m better at it. I feel like I can just play spirit island forever, its in the same tier as Odin for me.

The game itself is fun, but I’m an incredibly big fan of the theming behind it. The spirits really capture that animism-style eldritch god vibe. Lovecraft but without the racism. As for AFfO, I’ve got the base set—the expansion(s?) are pretty much impossible to get. FCM was easier to get than The Norwegians.

Shadows flicker like flame is strong enough to win solo, but yeah I thought it was rather weak in the 3p games I played. It just needs a little help early on though, and if you land a good major power (which you can using your inherent powers) you quickly become a monster at pushing people around. If you then have push synergy like ocean... yeah. Cosmic encounter is a bad game mechanics wise, but god is it still my favorite beer and pretzels loving around game. It's so luck based that really anyone can win, and also so overtly luck based that you can not care about losing. It's entirely carried by the aliens, the funny background blurbs, and the stupid bullshit cards though. I'll always play it if someone pulls it out of the cupboard but putting it at #1 doesn't really make me think your list is a list of mechanically sound and fun board games That list would have a feast for odin at #1, obviously

The way I look at it is that extras give you an edge over other listings, but buyers know that you’re not going to be able to move most extras by themselves, so don’t expect a huge premium.
