POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Solo Arkham Horror LCG felt more social than most multiplayer games - which SOUNDS like a complete paradox, BUT it changed how I viewed and interacted with community for the rest of my gaming days.

This is just one of the epiphany's I come to during my recent Top 5 Games I regret selling and why I bought them back (if you want more context), but the solo community is truly a unique, creative and social lil group that really just makes it feel like the cherry on top.

Thank you @fantasyflightgames for letting us into this year's spoiler season for Arkham Horror's Chapter 2 Core Set!

Looking forward to seeing how this format plays out with the other classes, but looks like some great big hand and indexing shenanigans!

Thank you to @fantasyflightgames and team for sharing these spoilers for The Drowned City campaign, and to everyone that caught the Instagram Live reveal of the card, especially my buddy @foxbocksgames for dissecting these cards with me!

Hardboiled definitely is a lot more versatile than I imagined! Not only is it amazing shotgun tech, it's great for a last action Breach the Door, emergency evade, or even passing a frozen in fear. It can even be committed to friends for their turns after yours!

Doppelgänger seems to be nice tech for evade friendly Kymani, Lucius, and even Alessandra. Some cool applications are setting up for a good Transmogrify or zipping back to a location for an end of scenario escape. I can see some really ridiculous Power Word play too!

Are you excited to play any of these cards?

I'll post some showcase decks for these cards in the comments!

So, I'm finally back home and get to be cozy for a wee bit... or at least until the next but of travel in October. Meanwhile, it's time to recap some of the games I've gotten to over the last month. What better way to start that off than with the summers great big hit after a certain lil' video came out about it... Arcs.

While I had the game, I hadn't been able to get to it until GenCon thanks to the lovely @foxbocksgames for continually being a fabulous teacher. While the game is FAR easier to wrap your head around compared to the onboarding of Root, it definitely feels like it's takes some great aspects from some of their other games I've played. While I wouldn't suggest it to a new gaming gamer, I'd say you can get your head around it pretty well after a couple rounds.

But, while onboarding is a lot easier, it feels like there are some layers to unwrap when it comes to strategy. Sometimes, I can simply feel that in a game when right after you think about what you could've done differently or would've tried the next time.

So, while my first game was a 4-player game, my second game was a 2-player game, and I was keen to see how the player count would change the game. I got whooped by the 4th round after 2 turns because my opponent stole 2 items that swung all of the ambitions on their side for almost 20 points to get the win. With that, it felt really swingy, BUT I definitely think I could've played differently. It works at 2, but I think it shines at higher player count. With that, there unfortunately is not a solo mode, although not sure how a solo would work but, who knows... thought the same thing with Root and the Clockwork expansions are what initially had me love that game.

I'll probably talk more about Arcs later as I haven't cracked the campaign box yet either, but Im excited to right my wrongs the next time I get a chance!

The game finally made it out of the group chats!

A big lead up to GenCon this year had been talks about getting the crew together for a game of Feudum, from @oddbirdgames. Heck, that’s what our group chat was called since some of us expressed interest and even banded together for an online game. So, we strapped in on night one of the con to play this gargantuan game. It’s long. It’s complicated. It’s weird. And it was fantastic!

In Feudum, everyone has been exiled and is starting from scratch, vying for power in different guilds, wandering the lands, and farming and feeding their people. I honestly wish I could do a better job explaining the game but even as I write now, I am realizing there is just so much going on!

Each round, everyone chooses 4 cards out of a deck of 11 to use. This is done for all players all at once, so you really have to plan well and make sure you get good mileage out of your cards! Maybe you want a Defend card since someone is poised to attack you. Maybe you need to Migrate, Move, and then Improve to change a land into the type you need. Or maybe you want the crazy Guild action to interact with any of the guilds, which is one of 19(?!) different actions you could take. I could never do this game justice with my explanation, and I’m so glad that @foxbocksgames kept it concise and lighthearted during the teach!

At the halfway point things had begun to click. I had built my first feudum, which meant that for the rest of the game I would need to pay my dues through military service. The economy in the game worked in a very cyclical manner, with goods and coins traveling around the board through the guilds, rewarding those who had a higher status within those guilds. And as with any good euro, feeding your people was always a collective struggle.

We didn’t end up finishing the game, since it was late and brains were melting from long 12+ hour days for everyone, but Feudum did leave an unforgettable first impression in my brain. Desperately hoping for another play soon!

Have you played Feudum?

I’m a little late in posting my recap for Day 2 & 3 of Gencon with all the festivities going on the past couple days! Met and hung out with even more friends, and finally got an opportunity to get some games played. Cardhalla and all the cosplays were definitely some of the highlights these past 2 days.

It feels surreal that Gencon is coming to a close so soon, but I’ll try cherish the remainder of the convention and all the great memories I’ve made! Hope everyone else here has been having just as much fun!

Day 3 bleeding into Day 4, and I’m starting to feel sad it’s all coming to an end.

From the running of the nerds to the knockdown of cardhalla, I did a lot of GenCon staples these couple of days, but I really just most enjoyed hanging with my goblin crew to ungodly hours of the night gaming, risking everything just for one extra game.

Almost woke up late for my Arkham Horror LCG game this morning, but made it in time just to attend the Midwinter Gala, the new standalone scenario.

Running on 4 hours of sleep, but really hoping to squeeze every last drop I can from this trip ❤️

Gencon Day 1 recap!

Met more people, from new friends to old friends I knew from last year to fellow Canadians!

Wandered the halls mostly, meeting with publishers at booths or checking out new releases. So many things to look at, so little time!

I did a little minigame with @rosegauntletfoundation and ran around collecting stamps to get the cutest pin ever!

And I got to sit down with my friendos at the end of the day and absolutely stumble through my first game of Feudum, followed by a much needed goofy game of Caution Signs!

Onwards to Day 2!

Yesterday was a blast. I got to see some old friends, make new friends, and play the hotness that is Arcs. I’m excited for today!
