Dang, took me 4 tries to solve the Station room 2 in Triplock. So the campaign is a fail (as I can only use – characters and they are all done), but at least I got that room solved. It is a beast with getting points and solving the room, especially if your diagram doesn’t align well with the room pattern. Fun little filler with great components – totally overproduced, but I love it!
Triplock ist ein interessanter Filler mit starkem Memory-Effekt. Also eigentlich nix für mich, aber in dieser Verpackung mit den netten Grafiken und sehr angenehm zu handhabenden Pokerchips macht das echt Laune. Total überproduziert aber wirklich nett für zwischendurch. Shared on Google+ by Georg Bauer: Dang, took me 4 tries to solve the Station room 2 […]

/u/bboomslang on Do themes pull you in or push you off of playing and or buying a game?
Same here, so I am very reluctant to buy titles in those genre, because she is my main gaming partner, and even fir our game groups, for me to try games before game night, I need to pull her into a game or two, so no SciFi or Fantasy.

/u/bboomslang on Dragonfire – finally, a release date!
Does the 2-6 players mean it can really be played with just two characters fully, or are there again “role shenanigans” to follow through like with Shadowrun? I don’t mind those, but in SR the roles mainly were a case of “being a target for obstacles” whereas in a Day&D game I would expect them to have more meaning.

/u/bboomslang on Your Favorite Game of 2017?
hmm, hard to say. for solo play probably 7th continent and for multiplayer The Godfather – at least those two are the only 9/10 games for 2017 in my collection. But Azul is damn close, as are Codenames Duet and Nemo’s War (this one for solo) – they are 8/10. And with some more play I totally could see them rise. Because as good as the godfather is, I might get the others to the table much more often and regularily.

Mein zweites Spiel von Churchill. Ich mag das Spiel, auch wenn es Hirnzellen und Zeit frisst. Definitiv eines meiner komplexesten Spiele in meiner Sammlung, aber das historische Thema packt mich jedes Mal. Aber ich brauche da wohl noch einige Spielrunden, um nicht wieder statt der avisierten 90 Minuten des Trainingsszenarios auf 4 Stunden zu kommen […]

My second play of Churchill. I really love the game, but man does it take time. Ok, I had to relearn, as my last play is quite some time in the past, but still – the training scenario took like 4 hours. Fun hours, but wow, this drains me mentally. Great play this time, the […]

/u/bboomslang on What have been your "walking out of the theater" moments in board gaming?
Sword&Sorcery. Too much fiddly stuff going on for group play for me – I am usually the game teacher and this started early to turn into my wife pestering me with questions about stuff not yet described. Even my usual “let’s have a test round or two and I describe while stuff happens” didn’t work, as too much is connected with other stuff. Game!e works great solo and probably also when players familiarise with the rules up front, but that never happens at our game nights, so this will go into the solo-only pile. A bit sad, because I can see the good game beneath the pile of stuff, but well, it is as it is. Too many good and great games that work with my groups much better.

In case anyone is wondering if Codenames: Duet can be played with pictures from Codenames: Pictures: yep, works like a charm and we actually enjoy it much more than with words. With words it felt annoyingly difficult, so we tried it with pictures and finally got our first win. For us the pictures are much more open in finding common things, whereas with words we constantly ran into situations with words that we couldn’t get combined in any way.
Codenames: Duett war eines der Mitbringsel von Essen, aber die Wort-Variante hat uns nur frustriert anstatt zu begeistern. Also wird ab jetzt mit den Bildern aus Codenames: Pictures gespielt, das gefällt uns deutlich besser. Und gewonnen haben wir dann auch endlich Mal (nach dem 12. Spiel) Shared on Google+ by Georg Bauer: In case anyone […]
