Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
July gaming: I bet you can't figure out what my go to solo game currently is...
Lord of the Rings LCG x 7 (Signed up for Con of the Rings again this year so been playing through the AP cycles that they are featuring) Marvel Champions x 70 (Yes 70. Great solo and my buddies are really digging it as well. In fact 4 of them have purchased it now...) Heroscape x 3 (Helping Garenex getting ready for ScapeCon) Pathfinder Adventure Card Game x 2 (I always have a campaign going of this) Batman Love Letter (The kids enjoy this one) Quicksand (Another good one with the kids) King of Tokyo (An oldie but a goodie) Apocrypha (Been working my way through a campaign with my Wed night game group...when we're not playing Marvel Champions....) Marvel Villianous (It was fine. I'd play it again) Cloudspire x 3 (I'm featuring this at Ken Con and just wanted to make sure I still have a good flow of how everything works) Street Masters x 2 (Was glad to get this back to the table. Super fun and thematic game that I will be bringing to Ken Con) Godtear x 2 (Prepping for Ken Con. It scrathes a similar itch to Heroscape. However there's less destroying of units and more area control that you initially think) Dragon Dice - (the 2nd best game there is) Learn to Play! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h3q6...wujcr8vVf8e21G Last edited by Matthias Maccabeus; August 1st, 2021 at 10:09 AM.

There's 2 phases: The first is the plot phase. One person activates all their units, then the 2nd person does. Then you flip your character cards and it's the clash phase where you alternate turns. There's 4 types of units: (I forget the actual names) Green gets a bonus for planting a banner, Blue gets a bonus if the banner lasts the whole round, Yellow gets a bonus for taking out followers, Red gets a bonus for taking out champions. You get points on a ladder system (think tug of war) by accomplishing the above mentioned tasks. At the end of the round whoever has the marker on their side of the ladder gets the points for the rounds. It's a "hill" system when the points are: Round 1 (1), Round 2 (2), Round 3(3), Round 4 (2), Round 5 (1). The first one to 5 points wins. When I first played I was all about taking out the bad guys (think heroscape) but they don't really stay dead and I roll like crap in this game anyway. I don't like the hit distribution on the dice. It's a bit too random for my tastes: Blank, Blank, 2 Hits, 1 Hit, 1 Hit, 1 Hit. My son will get 8 hits on 4 dice and I roll 12 and get 3...Anyway what I've learned the more I play is it's more about placing the banners and protecting them, at least that seems to be working for me currently but I only own like 12 Champions. However killing followers with Yellow also seems to be a legit win condition. Dragon Dice - (the 2nd best game there is) Learn to Play! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h3q6...wujcr8vVf8e21G |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Aside from all the 'scape at ScapeCon (19-13 total record), also managed:
Power Rangers with @MegaSilver : pretty solid mechanics, but we drew a nightmare of a boss and ultimately lost. Coin Age and Love Letter with @Viideosayg both and @Dysole the latter: won then lost CA and our combined scores were close and we played a third and I came out ahead by just 1-2 points. Everyone had a turn at winning Love Letter, and some games were over in one turn while others took the whole deck, that's why it's great repeatable filler. Pitch Car with 6 players. Tons of fun. After failing my start, I ended up passing three other cars to come in third. Also a couple short playtests for AotV, for which I'll do a quick writeup later.

My copy of Ankh arrived earlier this week. I got to play a 5-player game and a 3-player game over the weekend. Really cool! It is unique for area control, as fighting gives some advantages but it's not always about beating everything up. There's even player elimination and merging mechanics done gracefully. Like Superheroes and Comics?

Ken Con 3.0 gaming:
Marvel Champions, we lost to Ronan….sigh Zombicide, Jeff set up a cool modern custom scenario against aliens and I got to play as Sarah Connor Legendary Aliens X 3, We played through both Alien and Aliens. It took us two games to win Aliens because I got a face hugger and died… Roll for Adventure x 2, A fast fun dice rolling filler game Last Night on Earth, I hadn’t played this in years. It was definitely a great nostalgia feel for me Maximum Apocalypse, we managed to defeat the Yokai and light the pyres Godtear x 2, I was just showcasing this game to new players Myth, Myth is always fun but always way too long Descent “3rd edition”, It was fun, the 3D terrain was cool, though Altar Quest does it better and is cheaper, and the app was fun, but it definitely slowed the game down I felt Heroscape x 5, Interestingly enough the newer players seemed to enjoy the draft aspect more than the veteran players Cloudspire, 4 player 2 v 2. There was a fairly clear winner after the 2nd wave but we still had to play it out. I still think the sweet spot for this game is 1 v 1. Lord of the Rings LCG x 5, We played mostly 3 player games. We played through the Sands of Haradrim cycle. Too Many Bones, Always a blast to play. We played the splice and dice tyrant and built him as he went. Mansions of Madness, I always like Arkham as a change of pace game Marvel United, A quick little game that my kids might enjoy Hexplore it, As always we saved the world, well kind of, we upped it to epic mode against the mage and basically got one shotted King of Tokyo, As always I set up to kill all the other monsters but someone always is rolling stars way faster than me. Other games played at Ken Con Pathfinder RPG Star Wars RPG Tapestry Valor and Villiany Dark Souls Hawken Tiny Epic Galaxies Chris M won the speed painting contest Chris F won the King of Tokyo tournament Matthias beat lonewolf in the Heroscape Ken Con championship Good times. Looking forward to doing it again!

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
It was a draft pod of 600 for each player and then you drafted a 400 point army from the combined pods.
