For a streamlined Superhero Tricktaker, I recommend Tricky Time Crisis.

The decision to play as a hero or villain falls flat and using the dial to do it doesn’t work well. I think a simple token could have done a better job.

Also, unsure I would play this at 5 players. Anyway, a few questionable production choices hurt my experience.

Just played Origin Story #boardgame. I love tricktakers (own 20+) but this one fell flat. The idea is there but the execution is meh. Having to pick story cards, deciding what to charge added time without feeling rewarding.
The rulebook could’ve been better and the box doesn’t fit sleeved cards.

I wish @boardgamegeek.com had an award for best podcaster instead of podcast. There are some podcasts that I listen to because of one person - it seems like the co-hosts don’t do their homework or they just make very unfortunate remarks towards their peers, especially if they are females #boardgames

Not the best place to start from! I don’t find the implementation very functional

Also played Rats of Wistar on the same day. It has got a really tight economy and the actions can be really restricted depending on the position of the slices in the wheel. I’m not sure if it is going to stay in my collection for too long. It might be my fifth most favorite Luciani game #boardgames

After playing our third game of Pandemic Legacy Season 1, we played Orbit. Felt a little too chaotic for me. If I were to play another Knizia racing game, I’d choose The Quest for El Dorado. Otherwise, I still find Flamme Rouge more fun. #boardgamesky

Wish it was it a metal container though!

Let me know about Kusoge, please!

Trying a #soloboardgame today. Maquis is a great worker placement with crunchy decisions that make you question all your life choices. Lots of replayability with the several missions that come in the box. I definitely recommend it! Any similar solo games? #boardgamesky

The topic of this class is Appreciation for Nature (or lack thereof).

The final assignment for the Global Issues and Discourse class required students to play games with themes that address global issues directly or indirectly. One of the and the assigned game was Wingspan by @elizhargrave.bsky.social. Both the box and the bird feeder came back damaged #lessonslearned

Played this two days ago. I don’t think the game is bad, but it is a solo game - I wouldn’t even call multiplayer solitaire because you don’t even look at the other person’s face or sheet during the game.

I forgot but this was my #boardgamehaul from my trip to Hong Kong two weeks ago. Only one game was bought there, whereas the rest were brought by a friend from the US to HK. I’m glad to add Black Forest back and finally complete my Return to Dark Tower collection (Coffers 1 and 2 not pictured)

The deckbuilding aspect of it did not excite me much, and the virtue/corruption track compared to the virtue tracks of Architects and the Suspicion cards in Paladins did not seem to add much. I also wanted to like the central part of the board, but it fell flat as well.

I had played #Viscountsofthewestkingdom once, and for some reason I could not remember much about it. And I still had the same feeling playing it again yesterday. It is definitely way below Architects, Paladins, and Raiders for me. I would not necessarily request to play it again. #boardgames

Played the awaited #forestry game yesterday. Unfortunately, it has a significant amount of downtime between turns, and the contract completion part of it did not seem that satisfying. I know it was the first play, and maybe I’ll change my mind, but I’m glad I sold my copy right away #boardgames

Yes. Same for Inventors and Wayfarers. I’d not play w more than 2. If it’s multiplayer solitaire, I don’t need more than 2

Whats your ideal player count for the game?

This is the third time I own this game. I like it more than ever before. I still prefer Architects, but Paladins has a nicely crafted design. So many ways of tackling strategy and it allows you to change and adapt halfway. I’m still fearful of trying the expansion #boardgames

Kingdom Crossing was a fun game but I need to play it more. I don’t need to own it but I’m glad a friend has it.

Had a gaming marathon last Saturday. We played Inventors of the South Tigris, The Crew Quest for Planet Nine, Vivo, Beast and Kingdom Crossing.

Inventors was a pleasant surprise after Scholars, which just didn’t work for me. However, just like Paladins, I’d rather play 2p #boardgames

I wanna find Zheng He!

Come to Korea and let’s finish the campaign! lol

Are you gonna play the whole coop campaign?

But my favorite one was 108 Outlaws by Daryl Chow. I almost missed this one, but my hotel roommate taught me the game and I bought his copy!

Dodicitre, Taiki Shinzawa’s newest shedder
Bested Another Time, by Taylor Reiner
And Ouroborus

I also got to play a few games at TGM:
Shall We Dance? And The Great Evening Banquet by Saashi & Saashi
Ants
Salty and Catte by Leo, Designer of Vivo
#boardgames

Last weekend, I went to #tokyogamemarket Fall. It was my second time there and I bought less than half of the games I bought in Spring. I also got to meet @espergames.bsky.social of Jisogi and @bajir, who designed Trickarus, one of my favorite trick takers of last year.

Im curious about Ninja Tricks! I went with Doron: Ninja Trick Taking instead.
