Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
@Hahma
We just got done playing 3 games against Expert Ultron with Modok using Spiderman and Black Panther. Crushing defeats. I have only beaten this combo once using Ironman solo and only after losing 5 times in a row before finally winning. Definitely a tough villain deck but still fun losing to it. Lol |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Yup, it's been working out great. I also have assigned each player a few roles to help me juggle everything a little easier. Like one guy tracks all the initiative rolls and figures out the turn order every single time, so I roll for my character, then the bad guys and give him the numbers. When a bad guy has more than one equally good option on who to attack, I randomize it (whether my guy is an option or not).

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Just solitaired my new Nanty Narking (Martin Wallace, Phalanx) with 4 then 3 "Players" to learn the rules here. Then did a real 2 Player with a pal. We both enjoyed it immensely. I'll be doing a real 3-4 player of it next Wednesday at a venue in Manhattan. Taeblewalker got me the upgraded metal Victorian coins as a holiday present; they are beautiful and clinky.
I've created a Character Codex on the BGG Forum to identify most of the many personalities from both history and fiction, and will be finishing it up now that I have all of the cards to check out. The cards and other graphics are terrific, and the minis for Agents and Buildings are great too. The theme is particularly immersive, and all of the character and other cards function in the game in interesting ways to reflect their personalities, locations, and etc. And its very appropriate to play during the Christmas season, with Ebeneezer Scrooge as one of the many Dickens or Sherlock Holmes characters in the game! The original design is based on Sci-Fi Terry Pratchert's Discworld: Ankh Morpork; it sold tens of thousands of copies! But it was based on the Victorian world, so this reskin is appropriate. In fact, the publishers point out in a video that if you rotate the Nanty Narking map of Victorian London 90 degrees, you then have the map of Discworld! |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Started a campaign with a new group. Pretty fun as a couple have never gamed before.
Just getting started, we played one dungeon crawl to see if they liked it and will roll up first level characters next time. Been working on new character classes for my RPG. A Hunter, Shaman, Bard and a Shield Master who is a Captain America style warrior who uses only Shields as weapons. |

Yeah, at least any time we actually battle we use the map and minis, but only sometimes when just walking around. I bought one of those square grid maps that you can draw on with a wet erase marker and then wipe off. I have quite a bit of terrain collected over the years, so I try to make use of that as much as possible and only use the markers sparingly. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Yup, the square grid is what I've been using although the reverse side has a (small) hex based grid on it. I've actually used some of my heroscape 'hex' based terrain stuff in small amounts. I have a tape measure on hand in case we need to figure out range/movement over/across an area of the square grid that is covered up. As much as I like the heroscape hex system, squares are just so much easier for rooms & hallways. Growing up we never used minis, just played using graph paper. But since I've collected so many minis and terrain over the last 20 years I wanted to make the switch.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Yeah, if you have the terrain it is fun to use. My issue was when we used minis people tried too hard to get an advantage through maneuvers(like getting behind someone) instead of role-playing. However in some battles it is really helpful to be able to have a visual on where everyone is.
