Any specific links for tips and tricks for beginners? Gloomhaven or Jaws of the Lions? I'd use that for Jaws of the Lion, though that walks you through everything for Jaws of the Lion. For Gloomhaven: Both videos have two parts to them. If it's full Gloomhaven, I'd recommend sorting stuff, I like a wooden insert, but not needed. And there is the GLoomhaven Helper App that is really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Nice, have fun with that, I loved playing through that game. Also I have 2 Kickstarter, a Pre-order, and an order showing up in the next three days... I need to find more shelf space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have way too much time into that game on Steam and mobile so excited to see how they do the board game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any specific links for tips and tricks for beginners? I'd start with Jaws, but if you aren't, that's ok. I didn't start there. Get the app. Seriously. It makes running everything much, much, much, easier. Realize the rules take a bit getting used to at first. Don't be afraid to start over if you need to. We died more than a few times the first few tries. Anytime you have a question on the rules, there is an answer online. Don't be afraid to look. You might want to look at rules updates online before playing also. Sorry I don't have links handy, I usually just google a question..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Keith Law has his top 15 new games up at Paste magazine. Good luck buying some of them online (haven't gone to my store lately......). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 I go On Tour for Christmas. It's a nice little (well not so little) roll and write game. Basically creating a pathway across the US or across Europe as a band tour. You are putting numbers in cities with limiting cards as to where those numbers can go. You are trying to put them in order, and if you put a number in a city on one of the cards, you get to circle it for more points. The app is a lot of fun, and I'm excited to play it in person. Super nice production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOUCAN Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 My family consistently is making me play the “Money goes to free parking, and if you land on it you get the money” rule in Monopoly and I’m sick of it, man. My wife won solely because of that BS rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money going on free parking is a house rule, also, if you decide not to buy a property it goes into auction and even you can bid on it.

The Gnat Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 I was able to play three new to me board games, well, kind of new to me anyways, this weekend: Catapult Feud: Build a castle, try and knock down your opponents troops and castle. You use a catapult or a balliste with what I have thus far. It's a simple game, still fun and it's fun to build a castle and then start shooting. On Tour: A roll and write route building game. It's a good one that I like a lot. I have played it on an app but I got a physical copy and it's just as fun to play in person. No Thanks: A small game to pick-up but it was a lot of fun. Basically you have tokens and you bid on cards with those tokens. Basically passing on a card trying to get the lowest score possible. It's a question of how many tokens, which will help you skip more cards, do you need to take a high numbered card? Super simple but more depth than you'd think.

The game is already too long as it is. Get them Monopoly Deal, I think it is, that'll play faster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 Just backed Final Girl, just got a few of the different horror movies. I might end up getting more in the pledge manager. A solo horror themed game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Marvel Zombies is hitting Kickstarter from CMON today. I budgeted $300 for it, I'm worried it might be more eventually for the all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
