got to try time of crisis yesterday

was completely screwed by some barbarian leaders early on and wasn't fully able to come back, but at least i learned how to play the game and some strategy

it seems well designed, but a few of my fellow players don't pick up on things as quickly, so the game took way longer than it needed to and we didn't technically finish our 40 point game

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

oh it's one of those systems where you have to manipulate the game elements yourself

for whatever reason I am just not about that life


I gave it a fair shot and liked it okay, although it's very much still not my first choice

Roll Player is pretty fun! I had an Orc Wizard with 3 INT and 3 CON and it worked out pretty okay somehow

Has anyone played Thanos Rising? I tried a couple of games today. I thought it was interesting, since I like the Avengers, but we got curbstomped by Thanos hard. So many dice rolls where we missed getting cards by just one, and we drew Ebony Maw on game setup twice. That guy ruined everything

Okay, I rolled a 14. What's that mean? Hsu

hard for me to back a kickstarter game if i can't tell how it really plays. love the flavor, though

i almost backed the dark souls game, and it apparently was not a sound investment

Pax unplugged tickets are on sale. I enjoyed myself last year, but I'm trying to save up right now and I'm unsure if traveling across the state is worth it.

Hmm.

I did say I'd do some rankings didn't I

Top 10 Non-hobby
Rook
Party Playoff
Phase Ten
Scrabble
Sequence
Chess
Uno
Risk
Poker
Sorry

Top 10 Solo (including digital versions with AI)
Dominion
Ascension
Concrete Jungle
Baseball Highlights 2045
Age of Rivals
Roll Player
Marvel Legendary
Armello
One Deck Dungeon
D10 Dungeon

Top 10 Most Wanted/Unplayed
Tragedy Looper
Terra Mystica
Charterstone
Four Against Darkness
Heart of Crown
Arkham Horror
Agricola
Betrayal
Aeon's End
Prismata

Top 10 I haven't played enough to feel comfortable ranking
Ex Libris
Castles of Burgundy
Bruges
Deception: Murder in Hong Kong
Lords of Waterdeep
Shogi
Superfight
Terraforming Mars
Munchkin
Ticket to Ride

TOP 10 OVERALL
1) Dominion I think other deckbuilders have had some neat ideas, but the original is still the best at executing them
2) Ascension This one being one of the few that really comes close.
3) Catan My gateway. Cities is most played but I also like Seafarers.
4) Party Playoff Combines my two great loves: board games and tournaments. My go-to for a new group whose tastes I don't know.
5) Near and Far Really I'm just excited to play a campain
6) 7 Wonders I love drafting ALMOST as much as deckbuilding
7) Knightmare Chess It's dumb and swingy and I love it.
8) Rook Official game of my college choir. We had official house rules and everything.
9) Killer Bunnies I will never argue that it's a good game but I have enjoyed it
10) Concrete Jungle Deckbuilding AND territory control!

now to go to bed and think of five dozen games that should've been on these lists instead

I like this list because I've played practically nothing on it

I will say that i wouldn't recommend exploring the potential of munchkin

I feel like I've seen lots of negativity for it actually but that's all third hand

Yeah I liked it at the time but I don't think I would now

And yeah, I've heard mixed reviews of the dark souls board game.

Some people seemed to think it was too easy or difficult at different player numbers, and all felt like one victory was enough

But this is second or third hand info by this point, don't let me be rain!

Edit: btw i hate my new phone's auto correct

I am on a two game winning streak in one deck dungeon which I assume means I have used up all my good rolls and will never pass the first floor again
