Yeah, you totally can only play Pandemic once, because you would pay the same scenario over and over … Legends of Andor has quite good replayability with the modular scenarios. Replaying them is totally possible, as much as with any other co-op with …

/u/bboomslang on [total noob] Is any Arwen-related card in the Core Set?
It is even better because Hero Arwen produces ressources that Aragorn can directly use for readying. Throw in Beravor from the core for card draw and you should have a solid team.

White Dog’s edition of Solitaire Caesar – but only the first scenario. Even got a “historic” score, but ahistoric finish: my roman empire was in northern Italy and Spain. The area of the historic east-roman empire was completely taken…

/u/bboomslang on What is [are] your go-to quick solo game[s]?
I have Soviet Dawn and Cruel Necessity. Both are fun, but CN takes much longer to play, so SD comes to the table much more often. Mound Builders is on my list of games to get, because of the interesting theme and I am waiting for Dawn of the Zeds from …

well, 1800 years is quick, isn’t it? 😉
Luckily it has a turn resolution of 100 years and those 1800 years are compressed into 18 turns and those go quick, so you are done in about an hour.

Progress: Evolution of Technology is my and my wife favorite in that genre. Think “Tech-tree, the game”.

Solitaire Caesar, first play. Fall of Rome in 800, no city in Thrace, but my legions in Cisalpine and Illyria are strong and I am hungry, so I call it a draw with those pesky barbarians ;) – 81 VP in round 12. Barely made the historical score in the first scenario.

/u/bboomslang on Can somebody translate the rules for this antique board game? [German?]
Looks more like some scandinavian language, danish maybe or swedish or norwegian. German is very different. But some googling shows Ludo as one of the many names for pachisi.

The “easy” way out is to ditch color as the only separating property. Drop wooden bits and go plastic bits and then do different shapes. That will allow free color choice and keep thematic integrity. For example the pieces could be si…

/u/bboomslang on Other than classics, What is the oldest game in your collection?
I recently got Peloponnesian War in a BGG trade and am quite happy to get this old 1991 game. It is by far the oldest thing in my collection. It’s speciality is the way it solves the “AI opponent” conundrum of solo games: it just presses you into service in a interesting way: you play one side, but when you get ahead enough, the game switches and you then have to play the other (weaker) side. In a way, the game makes you punish yourself and still have fun doing so.
