Bei dem miesen Wetter da draussen Mal wieder Hoplomachus gespielt und kurzen Prozess mit dem Titan gemacht. Ging erstaunlich glatt diesmal, vermutlich weil ich ihn falsch gespielt hab 😉 – egal, ich nenne dann einfach unentschieden.

Some more action with Hoplomachus, again against Menoetius. This time a solid victory, as I got him locked up while my fast tacticians activated all shards, so I finally could beat him up. My archer and my attacker did good work finally activating my champion that joined the fight and made short work of the […]

Erstes spielen von Zulus on the Ramparts. Schön politisch inkorrekt aus heutiger Perspektive, aber spannendes solo-Spiel. Und die Zulus haben immerhin einen minor victory davongetragen – blöd daran nur, dass der Spieler die Briten spielt 😉 Shared on Google+ by Georg Bauer: Zulus on the Ramparts is a fun little tower defense game with historical […]

Zulus on the Ramparts is a fun little tower defense game with historical flavor. Won this one, although with 30 points it will be remembered as a minor Zulu victory, since I didn't get the Zulus off the board. One more tribe and it would have been viewed more positively. Oh well, next fight will […]

/u/bboomslang on Is Rune Age worth picking up for predominantly Solo game?
add to that the problem that the four base races have each cards that are really not useful for solo play. The expansion opens it up a bit, for one you get more races, and you get additional cards, so you get a bit more variability of setups and plans to win. And there are some BGG fan provided variants to play other scenarios solo or solo multi-handed. But all said: I would say that for solo play only, it’s only worth it if you get it all for cheap.

I am wondering, now that Christopher Tolkien is not heading the Tolkien Estate anymore, and there are talks about a Silmarillion movie even, might that mean an official Silmarillion saga expansion cycle?

you build the deck and put one deck each into a sleeve, not single cards. You literaly shuffle the decks, not the cards.

/u/bboomslang on This sounds weird to admit but when games offer me too much customization (deck building, character building via drafting etc) I find that as a turnoff.
Absolutely agree, and I even did introduce friends to magic by teaching them EDH. Outch. One of them still asks when new games come up “this is nit like Magic, is it?”, he is so scared of it now 😉
I prefer non-customizable games for myself, too, most of the time. I love to build magic decks or decks for LOTR:LCG, but when I just want to play something, I might just grab Viticulture or Azul or some other game with some variability but without any pre-game activities. Which sadly makes some games stay on the shelf for far too long inbetween games, but the days where I can’t be bothered with pre-game customization/preparation are far more than thise where I am un the mood.
That might be the reason why I love deckbuilders and drafting games, as the customization is the actual game there.

Ah, the old “not us but other people might!” concern. I don’t buy it. If people want the DT’s approval, that’s their prerogative, but I don’t buy it that they have an actual impact on solo gaming, the 1PG, or how many new games are coming out with solo modes. The only impact they have is how many threads get started about them.
Totally with you there. I don’t see people driven away feom solo gaming due to Tom or other DT folks saying they don’t solo – so why this obsession with them over and over again? They provide solid reviews with some insights on games, that’s it. What they think about soloing isn’t really a big thing. And definutely nit such a big thing to make a fuss about regularily.
