I had a couple of friends over yesterday, and we first played Western Legends Western Legends
Fun game which we really enjoy.
Also played many hands of The Crew The Crew: Mission Deep Sea
With a number of fails but a few wins. Its a great game. Simple at first but gets very tough very fast.
During COVID lockdown I bought a bunch of games and ended up never playing most of them. Decided its time to play fewer computer games and more actual games.
So I got out Mage Knight Ultimate then did what all the advice said to do, watch many hours of Youtube videos to work out the game.
Ive...
And I just read about food / hunting on BGG and I did it wrong and could have had 2 more food (same food stacks so doesnt take up extra gear slots).
I probably could have won with those 12 extra cards. Sigh.
I am really enjoying it tho. Even tho it is a crazy challenge.
Not tried 2 player yet. Will on the weekend though.
I suspect its a very different game but BGG rates it as best for 1 or 2 players.
Im hoping my 4th play I can work out the path.
Ive now played 7th Continent 3 times on "easy" and lost all 3.
1st time I thought I did well. Explored dozens of tiles.
2nd game couldnt get anywhere.
3rd game I kept thinking I must be close to the end because I must have done 40 or 50 tiles but kept going further and further and further but...
Had some friends over and we played Western Legends. Everyone loved it and we will play again.
Then we played Lords of Waterdeep. Another fun game.
Then our numbers thinned out and we played Munchkin Warhammer. Basically like all Munchkin games I think. Quick and easy game.
Then we were down...
Does anyone have 7th Continent and recommend it?
Its around AUD 260 if buying here but USD 70 plus crazy postage - but that is still way cheaper than local.
Is it "Classic" that is the version to get ?
Has anyone looked at ASL Starter Kit ?
Ive always been fascinated by ASL but never played it. Does SK replicate the game in a meaningful way?
Do you need to broaden out and get more of the starter kits ?
Anyone looked at Oathsworn?
I suspect I would love it but Im sure it will be $80 to $100 shipping. Would any local stores get copies with the 2nd round of printing ? Or Amazon ?
Ive played King of Tokyo a couple of times and have no idea how it plays. The problem with playing against people who have played it a lot who only quickly explain it.
So I bought Mage Knight Unlimited. Just the box is daunting.
Actually playing it will be something else.
I was actually sent 2 copies by mistake so need to return one of them which is annoying.
That is Lanzerath Ridge in the background. Another game I need to play at some point.
Played 2 player LOTR Revised Core and it was so much easier than 1 player.
More fun too.
Still havent used the gold border "hard" cards so I expect it will get a lot more difficult.
Sneak Attack + Gandalf is so nice.
I bought Mage Knight Unlimited but it wasnt meant to arrive for a few...
So I bought LOTR Revised Core card game and am using the Fighting starter set with a total Willpower of 4 for the initial scenario. Playing solo.
The game begins with the enemy having Forest and Spiders in Staging for a total Strength of 4. I do my resources and play cards, then the enemy draws...
Played a couple more games of War of the Ring. Still have Shadow far too focussed on only attacking a few places. Really need to be more widely aggressive.
Both games the Fellowship just made it to Mount Doom and survived without getting 12 Corruption.
Once Strongholds get well defended they...
Played a couple of games of Weatern Legends. Still learning the rules but in some turns people were getting 6 or 8 LP which seems a lot when we qere playing to 15 for victory.
In the 2nd game I realised we made a couple of mistakes in the 1st game so Im sure we made some mistakes in the 2nd...
My friends and I handed our bundles around from kid to kid as they became interested.
Same with boxes of LEGO. No idea where they are now but the cards would date back to probably 1993.
I once bought an entire box of Legends boosters (I think - the one with the 5 or 6 dragons). Was fun having...
So I bought War of the Ring which is a huge game with 200 miniatures.
All the Shadow army are red but there are 3 distinct armies.
All the Free People armies are blue for regular and elites and white for leaders but there are 5 distinct armies.
I need a way to paint them to tell them apart and...
Played War of the Ring yesterday. Setup took an hour, and every move made saw us reaching for the rulebook.
Shadow sent an army to Rivendell and camped just outside. Next turn they moved all the Nazgul to their army and on the next action used a card that had every Nazgul cause a casualty to...
Its very good. Heaps of different actions in a number of phases. A fair bit of luck involved but its a solo game so youre going to get that.
19 turns to get the game won, wirh the first 6 just about air and sea superiority.
Will play it again for sure.
Sadly illness and potential COVID stopped War Room as I was home alone, but I did play Mrs Thatcher's War. The tutorials ran for about 6 hours on youtube but I skipped a lot - still took about 2 hours.
I think I played it all correctly and managed to win - when many fail often, so maybe I didnt...
War of the Ring says 2 to 4 players but looks best for 2.
Do you end up having 2 players per faction sharing duties or is there 4 legit different roles to play ?
Also are the expansions or extras ?
