Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
You guys are all awesome. Thanks for all of the input on Marvel Legendary and King of Tokyo. I've been thinking about the Power Up for KoT as it really looks like it adds a lot to the game but part of me thinks it might be fun to enjoy the base game for what it is and then just as they get bored, surprise them with a purchase of the Power Up.
As for Legendary I am afraid of the missing superhero fight "feel" to it but I think they will be OK with it. the set up scares me a bit too so thanks for the advice on that. Has anyone played Justice League Axis of Villains? That's a game I got them last year for Hannukah (yes, they are spoiled and get to celebrate both holidays) and they've enjoyed it a few times. It's a simple cooperative game with dice and cards that the boys like a lot. Unfortunately, thanks to video games, they don't ask me to play often but the few times I suggested it, they seemed to be all in. Maybe I'll break that one out this weekend now that the cold air has pulled in. |

If you are after a superhero game that really captures the feel of being a hero, you can't go wrong with Sentinels of the Multiverse. You play as a unique hero wit a unique deck of cards and fight against a super villain and his minions. The game can feel a bit fiddly and book keepy from time to time and it doesn't have big name heroes, but those are minor as the artwork is great (kind of an old school comic feel), and the heroes are all so unique and fun to play. It is, in my opinion, the best superhero card game available.

While it's certainly better than Legendary in those regards, it's more fiddly too with the tokens and keeping track of the order of play with player turns, bad guy, location etc. But once you get used to it, it's easy. Certainly worth it to get the cool superhero feel.

Played some Star Realms last night with LoB. We have started using higher Authority levels to begin the game because we games were starting to go to quickly based on early card draw luck factor. We have found it is easier to overcome early Blob or Freighter draws, if you have a little more time to react. This has given us the chance to change strategies mid game and still pull out a victory. Opened up one of the Shadows of Brimstone core sets that came yesterday. I can't wait to start playing it. LoB wasn't much for it when the Kickstarter was running, but now that he has seen it, I think he's in too. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
For Matt Helm's purposes, it really sounds to me like he made the right choice with Legendary over SotM. He's playing with his kids and the most important priority for him is capturing and then holding their interest. That's consistent with G-O's post, too.
My sense from watching Tabletop is that Wil Wheaton's gaming tastes are (generalizations incoming) similar to the Colby / Vasel type theme-y games, moreso than the Rahdo type heavier Euro games, so I'm interested in his opinion. Here's what he had to say a couple days ago about Legendary: "'Legendary is the best deck building game I've ever played,' Wheaton says. 'And I'm astonished by that. I could not believe that a licensed game was as good as it is, but it's phenomenal.'" That's high praise, regardless of whether you personally would agree about "best ever." |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Sentinels of the Multiverse does look cool, but at the same time it's not really a deck builder, is it? Since all the decks are pre-defined?

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
If you're asking me, I have no idea. Don't own either one. But others, above, were comparing the two in response to MH's question. If it's like Yomi with pre-defined decks, that is not a deckbuilder.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
You are correct; it is not a deck builder. It is, however, cool.
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide shot selection! Scaper of the Week #17 How to get to Skyknight's house: Drive to the red light, then call him. |
