Oh cool, thanks for the heads-up. Nice and cheap as well.
It didn’t come up that often, which was sort-of the problem. The triggers were often at odds with the player actions. Interested to try Forbidden Waters.
Does “The Mind EXTREME” give us the numbers 101 through 105?
No! It actually cuts it down to 1-50.
But now players are building two decks instead of one.
Also one of them is counting up and the other is counting down.
Those replies actually sound plausible.
Would it be a bridge to far to mention that one of the decks has red numbers and the other has white numbers?
Ah, that would make sense, since it would actually be easier if you could get rid of your cards on both decks.
Just to add to your comments. Nemesis is fantastic. Easily my most played game of 2019. Every game tells a story. I think Voidseeder and Carnomorphs are okay. Carnomorphs play like a unstoppable zombies, while the voidseeders are very Cthulhu. You may not fight monsters much but you will go insane. You don’t need them but they’re a fun. Aftermath I’ve only played the short game. It’s okay The characters are interesting and the room tiles are great to mix into the base game but again not a must. I’m still not sold on lockdown just yet. I would like to see how their new alien works and yet not one playthrough or ks video about them other than they are in the game. Some of the other stuff like the corporation tiles seems cool but feels like it needs some work. I’m sure it will be addressed but I can’t help but get the feeling of big hollywood sequel with all the explosions that ends up feeling way more shallow than the original.
I suck at shuffling cards gently. Typically I sleeve my cards because it makes shuffling easy and I don’t have to worry about smashing and bending all my corners. But there’s got to be a better way! Does anybody here use card shufflers in their gaming? Any good ones that can take cards of various sizes in addition to standard poker cards?
P.S. How the hell can @tomchick be so inexperienced with card sleeves but play Onirim, the most shuffle-heavy game I’ve ever seen? Does he just not care if his cards wear down to nubs?
Finally finished the Mansions of Madness 2E run we left hanging when we finally got a quorum for King’s Dilemma. The sailor, author, and reformed cultist had to break out of a Silver Twilight dungeon. Once we regathered our bearings we did okay, but unfortunately, as the Reformed Cultist I took a little bit too much Horror and went Insane, a little before what seemed like the tail end of the scenario. Turned out, my insanity was that I hadn’t reformed so much and needed to sacrifice a fellow PC to Shub-Niggurath. If I did, I immediately won, otherwise I wouldn’t win. Well, it required me to be in possession of a bladed weapon (I had obtained a Ritual Dagger, quite appropriate) and alone with just one other investigator at the start of my turn. Problem being, I had long had Kleptomania, so there was no good excuse to end my turn in another player’s space or I’d steal from them. So I let the sailor move into our new hallway and my space as the first move of a turn, then Explore a nearby room. It didn’t seem relevant to escaping, and seemed oriented at a Lore character (his Lore? 2. Mine, 5.), so when I failed to convince him not to move in on pure “why bother” territory, I did succeed at telling him I’d investigate instead. And…started the turn with just him and my dagger. slash
The best tutorial I found for shuffling cards ist this. I still think it’s difficult, depending on what cards you use, but it’s a good compromise between brutal rifle shuffle that leaves your cards in ruins and the overhand (?) shuffle which doesn’t shuffle properly.
In the first thirty seconds of his video, that guy perfectly demonstrates how I shuffle (except with fewer broken and bent cards afterward). Thanks for the video. Of all the things I watch and learn on Youtube it didn’t occur to me to look for a shuffling tutorial. After decades of doing it wrong I guess I had just become fixated on my innate inability to smush cards together without hurting them or myself.
Is that a big box version of the 2 previous boxes + some more content? Looks very cool. Though I still haven’t worked through half the previous content.
For solo play, I would recommend one of the cool playmats you can find online for the game. They make housekeeping during a turn a lot easier:
Yup. All existing content for the game plus the new Bugpocalypse expansion (which I think was available separately for previous owners, but I’m not one of those), survivor miniatures, and a GameTrayz storage insert.
Very cool. A bit of storage help wouldn’t hurt, especially for the tiles. Though the dividers in the original edition and a few plastic bags mostly do the trick.
Having now opened the box, it’s not a full box insert, it’s a few molded trays that take up one of three valleys in a standard cardboard insert. Bit disappointing, that. Still, might be all one really needs.
