CARDBOARD!

@RestorationGame I can’t wait to sling those arrows

First day of Origins! We’ve got Unlatched: Slings and Arrows and the storage solution here. Booth 701. Come check it out! (Storage solution stuff will be available on our website some time in July.)

I'm hosting a board game auction on BGG. Come get some: boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/33249…

finally getting to take the block button for a spin with any folks who think this strike is unreasonable we’ve been getting our asses kick... threads.net/t/CupSlnmpWez/…

@DiceAndNames I’ve certainly never won

@CardboardCast Do we ever really win in AH? We all just all to finish.

About to start a solo run on THE FORGOTTEN AGE in ARKHAM HORROR: LCG. Never played it. Starting with the “Return to…” because I heard it was recommended. But I’m also doing true solo with my first-ever Mystic deck (Luke), which is NOT recommended. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Here we goooooo 🌳 🐍 🔮

Completed my *very* unsuccessful run at RETURN TO THE FORGOTTEN AGE. Went insane on the antepenultimate scenario. If I hadn’t been using Luke, it would have been even less successful though, so I guess that’s… a win? Yeah. I think I’ll record this as a “win.”

first scenario proved that I know nothing about making a mystic deck yyyyyyyyikes

@DiceAndNames Hard mode? Ha ha. No. Easy all day, baby. I like having fun. But lots of AH nerds say that this “Return to…” is maybe the only one that you should consider to have fixed the original so much as to make it the new primary version, so I’m heeding that.

@CardboardCast Awesome! That is the ONE older campaign I have not done. Going with hard mode using, Return To eh? You're a brave soul. May the elder ones bless you.

@thegordonshow @GrahamSkipper ooh, PARKS, definitely.

Let us help this man.

@AsmadiGames Oh, I *love* when people upgrade their games. And WOTR is of course playable, but (for me!) frustrating enough to render it not-fun. I’ve always known I’d love the game, but have NEVER enjoyed it as much as I did last night, with clearly identifiable pieces.

@CardboardCast I don't mind when one can spend many hours upgrading their game to make it look awesome (see: Rebellion). I bristle when I'm told I need to spend many hours to make a game *playable*.

I considered it, but I have zero a) painting knowledge b) painting skills c) paint And also, this was wholly satisfying. Same game, except zero frustration trying to identify each piece every time I needed to. Didn’t miss the pieces one whit.

@saltyhorse 🤷‍♀️

@CardboardCast downgraded -> euroified

I like chunky plastic armies as much as the next guy. But I have downgraded my copy of WAR OF THE RING, and it makes 1000x sense to my eyeballs this way.

Update: just finished a game, and ZERO REGRETS

Armies via @MeepleSource. Faction tokens via… a bunch of other games

@OregonPatrick @WatchItPlayed No, I just counted the units in the game and ordered substitutions from @MeepleSource. Cubes for regulars, discs for elites, and cylinders for leaders. If I were to do it again, I might go with “octagons” for elites. (And if I did that, I might use the discs for leaders instead)

@WatchItPlayed @CardboardCast This is such a good idea! It makes me actually want to try this game so much more... @CardboardCast do you have a link to a write up of exactly how you did the substitutions?

@RogerUsart Ah! Scary orc!

@CardboardCast Practical indeed, but, I don't know...
