2:56 How dare you say she's unnecessarily scantily clad? It's not up to you to change the meaning behind someone else's art, expression, and vision. She looks exactly as the designer intended her to look.
Thanks for the points of difference. I am a Firefly fan but was hesitant hearing how hard this game was, but now consider the challenge worth attempting given your recommendation.
In practice with teaching and playing this game so much, I prefer the 'only 2 dice' approach because it forces people to track turns better when they 'pass the dice' to the next player. When the game gets fast (it can) people can accidentally step over each other's turns.
I got the Kickstarter version as part of a job lot with Arcadia Quest Inferno. I wouldn't have searched for it on it's own and I certainly wouldn't be paying the £200+ that is being asked for it in the UK? At least in gives me extra characters to use in Arcadia Quest.
Really not that heavy a game, long yes but Pax Ren and Pamir are far far far harder to teach. It's actually simpler to teach than Scythe in my opinion...
Why do all these expansions suck so damn hard. I want to get one more besides CI, but they are all so shi* They all have to add some new stupid mechanic that don't belong and just feel fiddly. Hazard deck? That's insanely stupid. So if I don't wanna use that I have to like... sort out those weird slash encounter cards?
I remember seeing this game when it came out and regret not buying it after learning through this video how it works! All these years I didn't realize a deck builder was a game where you improved your deck as you play. That's a very cool concept that I've come to quickly love after discovering it through the Dark Souls card game! This is very similar to the new Star Wars deck builder by Fantasy Flight Games. It sounds like they took some ideas from this or maybe another similar game.
Just got this used for $5 seems ok, but I don’t like how the “plant player side” of the game board is at the top, in the video game zombies come in from the right side, in this game they come in from the left. Just seems backwards.
Tanto is probably my favorite boardgame ever, especially with the newer expansion added in, its pretty much guarenteed that my friends and I will play Tanto when we're together xD
I feel like as some one who's been playing table top since I was 10 an easy rule for line of Sight is go off D&D rules for that, also maybe reducing the amount of empty safes could prove as a game fix/balancer
Thanks a lot for your short review. I just wished that it was a more current review also taking into the account all the other possible expansion and the hefty tome of a revised rulebook. How do you rate it now? I myself am a long time pen and paper rpg player and gamemaster and find myself increasing being dragged to the rpg side instead of board games due to the possible freedom of choice and focus on narrative rather than mechanics. It is also a big plus to me, that Faith is set in a science fiction universe rather than hunting goblins in a fantasy world. With all this being said, I have 5 questions to ask you: 1) Did you check out all the available expansions for Faith and if not: Do you have any plans in doing so? 2) How often have you played Faith up until now? 3) Would you recommend it nowadays and to a gamer with my kind of background/interests? 4) Are there any plans for making another review raking all the possible expansions into account? 5) How would you rate replayability? As it seems to be an RPG with tagged on board game components, I guess it is quite flexible and as such not limited to a fixed story or campaign? Thanks again for your review and your reply!
We recently got our hands on the game and my husband and I play it but we have a question. When does the encounter card bomb take effect? On your next turn? At the same time as the card action? Or whenever you want?
I love this game , we played it several times and won more often than not . All my friends love it so I’m not sure why all the negatives . I’d suggest strategize a little better and plan for the worst , it’s much more fun when you overcome the Darkness .
