Zum ersten Mal Concordia gespielt, obwohl das ja schon ein paar Jahre auf dem Puckel hat. Man sollte sich halt nicht von schlechten Box-Covers abschrecken lassen, das Spiel selber sieht deutlich besser aus. Und Macht echt Laune.

From the KS pictures it looks like only the knight order cards have text that is game play relevant? Or are there more elements, especially hidden elements, with game play relevance? My wife doesn’t understand english, a single card w…

Was für eine Grütztruppe da in Düsseldorf jetzt. Wir kriegen gerade so scheibchenweise mit, dass in HH beim G20 beileibe nicht alles so schön schwarz-weiß war wie es uns die Medien anfangs aufgemalt haben, und unsere Landesregierung verpasst mal fix wieder der Truppe den Freifahrtschein. Aber uns erzählen, wenn wir Anonymität im Netz fordern, “wer […]

/u/bboomslang on What are your favorite under-the-radar solo games?
One that maybe only war game afficionados will know, but which is really great solo: Night of Man. SciFi skirmish game that doesn’t use dice but goes with cards – the hand management combines great with battle plans. Solo is a done with another deck of cards that make your enemies become alive in a way that doesn’t make you lose track of your own plans just because you had to manage the AI. Plays quickly, has a bunch of scenarios to play through and is just plain fun. Only downside is it is quite expensive and the solo expansion even costs extra.

/u/bboomslang on What are your favorite under-the-radar solo games?
Yeah, it is quite fun, only be warned about the rule book, it is not the best. But the game is worth it, the buildup and teardown gives the game a great feel. Among my favorites of the series.

/u/bboomslang on Wizards: "Starting July 10, we will be reducing the total number of top decklists being presented per day from ten to five"
So they noticed a selection of 10 decklists pushes the meta in a specific direction and replace it with a 5 decks list as a solution? Somehow I think that will totally work. Not.

Really hoping for more depth to the solo play than the current solo challenges – maybe something along the lines of Hero Realms campaigns? I just love the goofy Babylon 5-esq scifi setting of Star Realms more than the generic fantasy …

Gestern am Brettspielabend kam wieder das Goldene Zeitalter auf den Tisch. Leider waren wir 6, ich also nur Erklärbär. Macht aber auch Spaß dem Spiel zuzugucken, da passiert wirklich eine erstaunliche Menge für so wenig Aktionen (4 Zeitalter mal 3 Hauptaktionen).

Golden Age got some table time at our weekly board game meeting recently. It slightly breaks the “max two hours” rule, especially with 5 players, but it is really deep fun. Maybe one day we will get it to the table with the expansion, the additional culture stuff in it look interesting, but for now […]
