Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?

Reflecting on the first two games we played, I have to say that it is very impressive to me how you can start with the same basic mechanic and end up with so much variety. They are both deckbuilders, but they feel completely different, and they have minimal resemblance to Dominion. I love the idea of keeping mechanics fresh and fun by tweaking them and expanding upon them. @Dad_Scaper : We were in Martinsburg, which is probably a little out of the way for you. It was a last minute thing, but I'm happy to bring some games for October. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I just played Wrath of Ashardalon with
@Dragon4201976
. We played through two games of a three-game campaign arc, and we are doing pretty well so far. We are actually using characters from the Legend of Drizz't game. For those who don't know, both games are part of the D&D Adventure System, and use the same rules. This lets you mix and match components like monsters and heroes between the three games. We added a monster from Castle Ravenloft, so we used components from all three games.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I picked up Sentinels of the Multiverse recently. Holy cow, why did I not pick this up sooner? This game is just fantastic. It's a superhero card game that really captures the feel better than any other (sorry Legendary). It is just oozing with theme and I am a major sucker for that.
I've tried it twice solo so far. In the first, Bunker, Fanatic, Wraith, and Haka went up against Baron Blade who was in The Block. This one was fairly easy and I never really felt threatened. Fanatic was down to 4 health, but that feels like how she plays. In true Paladin style, giving herself for the good of the others. In the second, Legacy, Ra, and Tachyon went up against Citizen Dawn. This game was much, much different. We barely escaped this one alive. All three of my heroes were down to under 5 health before we could subdue her. I love how each hero feels extremely unique and the cards really capture their powers. Tachyons speed, Wraith's utilities, Legacies support abilities, and on and on. I've gotten the base set and Shattered Timelines so far, but there is upcoming birthday money that will be set aside for the rest. This game gets two web shooters way up from me Quote:

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
For those who haven't tried Sentinels (and have been reading all these recent posts on it here), it's on sale now at MM for $18.
For those that have been praising it, are you using the Sentinels Sidekick ap? I hear it's worth using, but I haven't picked it up. Anyone hear say it really worth the $5? (I'll admit, I like Sentinels quite a bit, but there are times where you get enough cards in play that things start to slow down and feel fiddly. Is this the answer?) Biggest tip for Sentinels that I'll offer: Start the game with wound markers on your hero card equal to their life. It is much easier to quickly subtract damage by just pulling wound chips off. (I do the same for anything that has a life value, in fact--just speeds things up for me.) New?

Thanks for the tip,

I use that tip for Sentinels as well, 1Mmirg, and I echo your sentiments on it!
Sentinels is probably my favorite solo-play game right now. It's decent with other players, but I think I actually like it solo better. Shadowrun: Crossfire actually plays pretty similar to Sentinels in a lot of ways and I'd say that with the base set it has about the same amount of replayability. The one thing with Shadowrun is that in order to level up your character you really have to grind out for a long time in some tough matches. I say screw that, though! Play it a couple of times and level up a little, then just give yourself a big karma boost to try out the harder stuff sooner. Honestly this is one I want to play a ton more of still and I find it a bit better as a multi-player (for my group at least) than Sentinels, possibly because there's less to keep track of (I can keep track of that stuff fine on my own, but it tends to annoy my game group). C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.
