Not very enthusiastic about the merger with Heidelberger – now Asmodee has a tight grip on the German market, too, and probably will go a similar route with price fixing as Asmodee NA did. We only have Pegasus as a big publisher aside from them and that doesn’t bode well for prices. Sure, there still are smaller publishers, but for how long?

[AER] Fatal push
Is this the one mana black removal spell we’ve all been waiting for? I think it has legs in modern, what are your guys’ thoughts?

/u/bboomslang on Game of the Week, Redux: Jaipur
For a while (when my wife started to play boardgames with me), this was our favourite two player game. Over time, when we went into deeper and more complex games, it lost a bit of its luster and now we rarely ever play it. Red7 and 7 Wonders: Duel comp…

/u/bboomslang on What’s the Most Common Theme in your Collection?
Yeah, it is another one I have, but my wife doesn’t like sci-fi as theme and so I only played it solo so far (with the gathering storm expansion)

/u/bboomslang on What was the last game you bought and why did you buy it? Has it hit the table? Do you have buyers remorse?
I bought Conflict of Heroes: Barbarossa with its solo and firefight generator expansions in a sale and went on vacation right after it was delivered. So it sits unpunched at home, waiting for my return. Something to look forward to when I return from w…

/u/bboomslang on Comment with a game from your collection that you think few people have in theirs. Let’s shine some light on some obscure games!
Another fan of Waggle Dance here, and yes, people really should look into it, it is a fun and friendly worker placement game. Really good to introduce people to the hobby.

/u/bboomslang on Learning Curve vs Gameplay: Games that are hard to learn at first glance but are easy once it "get it"
This one, definitely. I really love it, but fear bringing it to the table with others – so far I only played it solo. The system really clicks after a few rounds, but man, formulating a winning strategy is hard.

Yeah, my group still has problems with science scoring after we played 6 or 7 games. I tried to show them a few times, but green cards still are a mystery to them. They do get lots of other games parts, just not this one detail.

/u/bboomslang on Gladiator Arena Type Games
I have played Hoplo and it is a really fun one that gives a good feel of gladiators in the arena. Origins is a bit simpler to play due to the simpler arena and crowd favorites rules, and it has gladiator drafting – and a fun solo challenge mode. Rise o…

/u/bboomslang on [WSIG] Deck Building
Paperback is fun, yes. And a great intro to deck building, since everyone can start with just building words, then easing into card powers naturally. One of my favorites to bring in new players. I played it over 70 times by now. Another slightly offtra…
