I think I feel the same way 🤔 Although I do feel I get a lot of use out of board games that include an appendix with more details about all the cards/symbols.
OMG 😂 this is perfect! Monopoly IS indeed a load of crap!!! The last time we played it was over 20 years ago. If we still had a copy I'd use it for kindling.
30:24 Tip: I have the verifier cards sleeved so I can write with whiteboard markers directly "over" the verifier card - it is quicker and takes less space
I don't want to spoil too much about the game strategy , but here is small bit of "preprocessing" . 20:33 D:"One of the numbers must be smallest". And because there is verifier C in the game and there is condition that all verifiers are needed we know which one is the smallest. . . . . . . . If players would use verifier D to check that triangle or circle is smallest , verifier C would be unnesesary, so we know that square is the smallest WITHOUT checking even one code. And second preprocessing (also usable in the game) trick is based on the rule, that answers to the questions should give unique solution. So if 2 (or more) codes would give the same answers on all verifiers you can eliminate them all.
And of course with all verifiers are nessesary condition you can exclude "three 3" case - that would obsolete all other verifiers (in most circumstances in normal difficulty levels)
nice stream. Keeping square cards face up is a bit of spoiler. you can instinctively see if there is majority of red or green squares and for some criterium it is enough to know. for example for criterium "is square ODD" there is majority of red so square is EVEN.
You should do one of these for each month, Pidgeon. My most played games in July: 10. Wyrmspan (2) 9. Exploding Kittens Good vs Evil (3) 8. King of Tokyo (3) 7. Stifling Dark (4) 6. Nucleum (4) 5. Ark Nova (7) 4. Project L (9) 3. Star Wars Deckbuilding Game (12) 2. The Crew Quest for Planet Nine (12) 1. Trio (I could not keep track but it was infinitely more that every other game and I highly highly recommend)
Hiya @tinstreet_egg 👋 I was hoping to, but I'm thinking of rather doing a "New games I've played" every 2 months 🤔 Still mulling it over. Don't wanna bore folks with the SAME games every month 😅 That's a great list! 🥰 I'm gonna pop Trio on my List of Games to play... Haven't played it yet, but I've been hearing good things.
Awesome video. I have been wanting to go to one of these for a while but the events have always clashed with prior plans. D&D is also something I have been daunted to dip my toes into. Definitely wanting to jump to the next event
That's unlucky, but I'm sure there'll be one hosted again soon 😊🤞 The D&D intro they ran was a perfect 1st step. They made sure to explain the basics, but also answer any questions you had... So if you wanted to put your Character to the test, you had enough knowledge to lean into their specific skills 🧙♂️🤺
I wouldn't expect anything else, Stefan! 🥰 I've also seen your interviews promoting board games and the Festival of Games. You are doing the country a great service, sir 🍻
Thanks for the thorough video! Question: in the space where you put the spirit panels, is there enough space to add the 5 spirits from Horizons? Same material
Jaipur as a 2 player option is amazing! I think a great 2 player game I got this year was Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle: Dueling Club Edition. My daughter and I have played it quite a bit. And when it comes to my competitive TCG friends, they REALLY enjoy it too
Thanks ♥️🍻 I'm trying to play new and different games (even though I have a few I LOVE) so I don't fall into a loop of the same 3 games all the time 😅 Variety is the spice of life and all that 😋
😱 I've never played an online/digital implementation, but it makes sense. I guess it's easier to decline when you don't have to look someone in the eyes.
Thanks to work insanity (we transitioned to a new computer software at work and it's been less than helpful) I've been pretty burned out after work, so I haven't had as much energy to game as usual, but I did get a few solo games of Wyrmspan played. Hopefully I'll have a bit more brain power this month.
Sorry to hear that @morgaknightgames 😕 I'm sure things will be back to normal soon 🤞 How are you liking Wyrmspan? Would you recommend it for a solo player? 😊
@@BirdsOnBoard112 Yes, I'd absolutely recommend for solo! I have about a 50/50 win rate on the second difficulty so far. I can't compare it to Wingspan at all, as I've still yet to get that played (need to kidnap my friend and his copy someday).
We need to plan some new, exciting games for our July Board Games evening for you to try out indeed 😉 Suburbia is the other new addition to the library, maybe that will make it to your list.
Hi, congratulations on your win! You made the game a bit harder for yourself because you forgot to take a compass when you reached the second spot on the exploration track with your magnifying glass (first part of the video). But more importantly: item cards are supposed to be placed at the bottom of the deck after purchase, not on the discard pile (which is what you do with artifacts).
🤦♂️ my bad! And thanks so much for catching that. On the plus side, I won with the self imposed handicap 😅 So next time I should be winning by a further margin 😉
