I believe they've changed the rules a bit with the Resolution phase. I got to do a play-through on TTS with the developer & he'd said you can only pick an area where you have a token. The game is so much fun and i can't wait to get a physical copy! As for what instrument I'd love to master, that would be the piano. I used to play when I was younger, but haven't touched it in ages.

Love Rolling Realms. Jamey has already stated that only SM will continue to get more realms. Although in the compendium there is a spoiler for the final 2 promo realms coming out that haven't been released yet. I have been doing individual realm tutorials on my youtube page where I do 9 rolls on one realm. I might have to go through and figure out a difficulty scale for them. Recommended combos might be tough to do. More solo stuff in the future would be fun. I already have the realm you are giving away so I won't worry about the giveaway.

@@marceloperettikuhn4764 I’m glad someone got out the calculator! Yes, for the first round of the game, that would be how I understand permutations. But since there are 3 rounds, you end up picking 9 cards it ends up being (66!/57!) which is a whole lot more.

Which instrument would I like to master? I'd love to be a Paganini-level master on the violin. Second choice would be Chopin-level on the piano. I really want to love this game. I love the theme. Love the art. And love the mechanics. Just a little overwhelming. Hopefully I can get hands on with it soon.
@kovray
@kovray 9 дней назад
The rehearsal will definitely help, we played with it the first game we ever played and it was quite smooth to get into it. There's work going into cleaning up the graphic design too so I think when the final product arrives it will be hopefully just the right feel.

I am SO excited for Luthier, I can't even put in words HOW excited I am. First of all, as a musician myself the theme is amazing. I have read so much about Luthiers (their work, famous families, etc.) and see this theme implemented in a board game is so cool. And of course it is a Paverson game. I love Distilled and both games seem to perfectly combine theme with mechanics. The art by Vincent Dutrait is just... chef's kiss! Nobody does it like Dutrait. I fell in love with his work when I first saw Detective: City of Angels and Luthier looks gorgeous as well. If I had had the possibility to back this on kickstarter I definitely would have done so. I can't wait for the retail version now. And which instrument would I love to master? I played the alto saxophone for many years and I would love to further pursue that. I also would love to learn to play the piano since I'd like to learn how to compose songs as well and the piano is - in my opinion - the best instrument to use for this purpose.
