I went in when I read they go for PVC cards again. Just another near indestructable travel game for me that I can play solo at the beach or cafe or hotel bar. Small, nice components, I like steampunk graphics and Ricky’s game play vid…

Triplock from Chip Theory Games
Go toe to toe with the best lockpick artists throughout New London in this abstract game of skill and memory for 1-2 players!
So, I noticed no one had posted anything about this yet. If you’re a fan of, or interested in, Too Many Bones and Hoplomachus you may be interested in the new project from Chip Theory Games. It’s actually quite affordable and a much smaller game compared to the aforementioned ones, and it’s already funded.
Here is a link to Ricky Royals preview video

/u/bboomslang on UB teachings
Well, I put it this way: I call my Teachings deck lovingly “fuck you, bogles”. It is what I pull out if my main opponent goes into his “I hate delver” mode, because then he plays ridiculously unfun stuff like Bogles and he needs a beating to set him right. And Teaching delivers. Every time. If there are creatures to kill, it is my go-to deck if I want to set records straight 😉

“It’s nothing personal, it’s just business”. “Oh wait, no, it IS personal. I just despise you all.” 😉

/u/bboomslang on Anyone else feeling bad for Amokhet and the gods about now?
yeah, my first deck was the Ajani vs Bolas duel decks, and of course my favorite was Bolas. Ever since that guy has a spot in my heart, storywise.

/u/bboomslang on What game reveals more hidden depth every time you play?
Not happening, it is the favourite game if my wife and so still sees table time every now and then. But definitely getting less and less if that. But we tend to really play games out, there are several other games in the 60s or 70s of plays (Paperback,…

Wow, was für ein Spielmonster. 5 Stunden für den Prolog (solo, zwei Helden, erstes Spiel überhaupt) aber ein grundsolides System mit tollem RPG Feel. Nach zwei Jahren Warten ein tolles Erlebnis. Einziger Wermutstropfen: Heidelberger hat die deutsche Version angekündigt, und als Kickstarter hab ich natürlich alles in Englisch. Shared on Google+ by Georg Bauer: “The […]

“The eater of tables” could be a sub-line on this game. This is just the prologue. Outch. And play time (solo, two heroes) was about 5 hours. Yikes. But tons going on and a really cool system. Serious setup time, so get yourself organised to keep it down. Really fun game with a very solid […]

Thread: Sword & Sorcery:: General:: Language update kits?
by TheGargoyle
Since the german version is announced for later this year by Heidelberger – will there be a way for backers to get update kits, so we don’t have to buy stuff completely again? Would be really silly for immirtals for example and would …

/u/bboomslang on How did you get into solo boardgaming?
Well, I know that I myself will not play Mage Knight competitively or with other players at all, because I am scared to have to teach it. So just like Leaving Earth this is one I will keep for solo play only.

/u/bboomslang on How did you get into solo boardgaming?
In my youth I was a chess player for 9 years, doing low-level tournaments and all that jazz. So I am used to split-brain-solo, because that is what you do when you train stuff. So since I love playing board games, I started to solo them until I got my …

/u/bboomslang on What’s the worst (non-house) rule you’ve ever seen in a board game?
Yeah, I play usually with larger groups and we go for players-1 or even players-2 for groups with 6+ players. It just is too spread out with more than maybe 4/5 bases. Especially since everyone has to read the special base powers, too.

/u/bboomslang on What game reveals more hidden depth every time you play?
For me most abstracts give me that. In my case lately it is The Duke that keeps me coming back to, just because each game goes vastly different due to the random tile pull. Luckily my wife enjoys it when we are out of the house, so it does get table ti…

I am in for a copy of stations, if there is still a chance (or if another 30 is started). Thanks for doing this!

/u/bboomslang on Teachings – 101 or 101?
Man, I so want to believe in the Grixis version, because that is my favorite color combination in MTG (Grixis Delver in Modern is my favorite)!

A grixis Pirate lord. Yay. And I hope the Vraska planeswalker card will make pirate tokens instead of assassin tokens, so we actually can have big pirate swarms.

/u/bboomslang on [XLN] 4 New Commanders
Yeah, Lizard Beast would have been better for interactions with all the existing lizard beasts. The way they did it, the Dinosaur tribe is rather isolated to just this set, especially with a lord for that specific tribe it is a bit a missed opportunity.

I like a one/two-of of echoing truth for pesky permanents I can’t normally reach in blue.

/u/bboomslang on What game(s) have you spent the most on? (Base price + expansions + pimping it out)
yeah, it only got better when I started to play Pauper. Much cheaper format, but still provides the feel of an eternal format. But I guess it will still be a long time until my board game collection reaches the value of my MTG collection.
