The Gnat Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 1 hour ago, Heimdallr said: Has anyone played Charterstone or Clank (I have Legacy but I assume the gameplay is the same as normal Clank)? I have both, and I'm wondering which one is easier to play with my GF's parents over Christmas. We played Betrayal Legacy which was great, but anything more complex than that might be a struggle. Is Clank overly competitive, or can it be a casual/co-op game? I've played Charterstone and Clank! In! Space! and Clank! I also have Clank! Legacy, but haven't played it yet. From what I know of those games, Charterstone would be better for more casual gamers, Clank! can be a bit cutthroat as you rush in and grab and then rush out if you want leaving everyone else to struggle, granted, Legacy should be played more casually to enjoy the story, from what I've heard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Clank play well with 2 people? I've heard Charterstone plays better with 4 than 2, which is why I was thinking that would be a better game to bring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've heard Clank! Legacy plays well with two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have a much worry about the dive in/dive out that @The Gnat talks about since there's only one person you have to track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirA1 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I found my likely next purchase. I did restrain myself today though. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/256852/aliens-another-glorious-day-corps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 ISS Vanguard is live now:https://gamefound.com/projects/awaken-realms/iss-vanguard#/section/project-story If you want a space exploration adventure game where not only are you exploring planets but you're working on your ship, improving your landers, building new landers, etc., this game looks like a ton of fun.

But will probably pass. I am actually looking forward to getting back to actual RPG stuff next year. I went back and got the Aliens game. Could not pass up the 16 Xenomorph minis that come with the game that I can use in the Aliens RPG. Edited December 18, 2020 by SirA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirA1 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I am glad I had about $60 in store Credit when I went to the FLGS today. The Wingspan Oceanic Expansion came in today that I had order. Only $30 so better than I expected. Another game that was high on my radar after seeing it played on Dice Tower was Dune: Imperium so I got that as well. I am not a big deck builder guy but love Dune. They also had some extra minis for the Aliens Board game from Gale Force Nine that I hadn't seen anywhere else. Face Huggers, Eggs, Computer Terminals and Crates. Perfect for the Board game and the RPG I am working on for next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Played through half of Clank! Legacy this weekend, and it is awesome! The GF and I worked together to try to explore everything instead of competing and racing to be back first, and it was a ton of fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or some other game, I'm adding games to my collection too fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Swung by FFGC who are selling off the games on their demo wall and planning on rebuilding it once things open up again. They don't do piece counts so there might be something missing, but didn't look like anything major with the four I grabbed and 2 of them were $5 anyways. But we grabbed, Dinosaur Tea Party (my wife wanted that one), Jamaica, Hey, That's My Fish, and another that I forget the name of but that I played at GenCon and is a good kids game. And then picked up a TIME Stories expansion and the 2+ version of Animal Upon Animal for the toddler, he was extremely pleased with getting that game and liked playing with the animals, even stacked them a couple of times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretgod99 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I know we periodically get questions about two-player games. Got my wife Exit: The Abandoned Cabin. Played it tonight. It was pretty fun. Don’t know if it’s been mentioned in-thread. It’s a one-off escape room style riddle game. They have a bunch in the series. Worth the $10-15 if you and your partner like riddle/puzzle games. Can’t replay, but I still think it’s worth it. You can also play it with more than 2 (maybe ip to 6?).

fretgod99 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Also, my daughter (really my wife) got me Story Chess so I can start teaching my tiny human how to play (she’s almost three, so it’ll still be a little while). And I picked up Amazing Tales, so in another year or so I can introduce her to table top rpgs. I’m excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
