/u/bboomslang on Is labyrinth: the war on terror good?
Yeah, that one is on my list of “stuff to get to put away until I retire”. For now, with a full job and full life, I fear I don’t find the time to play such a monster 😉

/u/bboomslang on Is labyrinth: the war on terror good?
I got it with its expansion, because Lab is the only way I am aware of to get the CDG experience in a solo playable game. Sure, I could play other CDGs two-handed against myself, but that’s just not always what I want. Lab to me is kinds like solo TS, especially with the expansion. That said, it so far didn’t pan out, because Lab still is a quite more complex game than TS and so needs a bit time investment to get started, especially with the expansion, where you have to read up on rules in two rule books, checking the new one for changes all the time.

No worries, the resistance has you covered, we got Martin Wallace to make a manual to fight them and have him disguise it as a board game.

/u/bboomslang on Just for the heck of it what is your top 3 tabletop games and why?
My rankings are really situational. It is very different if I am playing solo or multiplayer, and if multiplayer, which group I play with.
For solo, it’s LOTR:LCG, Shadowrun:Crossfire and either Hoplomachus:Origins or Night of Man (depending on my mood).
Multiplayer just with my wife, it’s Progress: Evolution of Technology (played over 130 times), 7 Wonders: Duels (played over 70 times) and Red 7 (played something like 25 times, but getting pulled out whenever we sit at a restaurant and wait for food, so chances are good for more).
For multiplayer with my weekly group where we have new players every now and then and many players aren’t as deep into the hobby as me and my wife, it’s 7 Wonders, Citadels and Codenames: Pictures currently. Directly followed by Paperback, which sadly isn’t played as much anymore, because our group is usually larger than 5 players.
For multiplayer with my semi-regular group of friends, it’s probably Mare Nostrum: Empires, Legends of Andor (on the third box now) and the third place fluctuating with whatever we want to try out that night. But I guess I can get them into Scythe easily, it should fire on all cylinders with that group. This group started out explicitely as a Legends of Andor play group, so that’s why we haven’t introduced them to many more games (allthough usually the second game the night is something different).
