With the negatives being that it's really grindy and LONG(which may be a good thing for ya), as a plus, great free narration and they are coming with a second kickstarter this year with a reprint, rules overhaul, etc.Įdit:(Max 2 players to recommended to avoid fatigue anmmd be capable of finishing the story) I'd say Nemesis is the best of the bunch(great production, highly thematic and immersive), with negatives that come from high luck factor with not as much mitigation as most people would like and hidden traitor, which is not somerthing my group likes, especially in long games with PvE focusĮdit: Since you're looking at 2P, the game offer both hiddden traitor AND coop modesįollowed by Tainted Grail, as it is the best(guided, not emergent) story experience of them all(and actually any board game I've played so far). Not the one who wrote the first message, but I have all AR games but the great wall and Etherfields. The basegame is good, but the expansions really make it sing. Last but not least, the Black Powder expansion elevates this to another level. If somebody else happened to be standing on my favorite spot, its just bad luck they needed it too!'. Many many players I know treat worker placement as really soft interaction, more like 'I take whatever is available that is best for me. How to block spaces, deny ressources, and sabotage. But in reality, I ve won with the worst General in the game regardless - its still a skill game.Ĭ) Your group needs to understand how to play against someone in worker placement. I suggest (and Awaken Realms said they do it that way now too) to draw 3, and pick 1, instead of 2 and pick 1 in order to mitigate this problem. There is a shared task, but you have to realize its a shared risk/reward pool, not a team effort.ī) Some generals are downright better than others if left to do their thing. The Great Wall has 3 points of contention that keep it from being an amazing game.Ī) Its not Semi-Coop. Nemesis is an amazing creation, and Lockdown is no less good. Etherfields needed a higher difficulty level, and Lords of Hellas is REALLY brutal once people become good at it so I cant play it with more mellow players, but they are great games. I have played pretty much all their games and liked most of them. r/tabletopgamedesign - Designer's subreddit.r/boardgameexchange - selling/buying/trading games.Game of the Week Calendar Related Sites & Subreddits The simplest use is to bold game names in your comment and add ' /u/r2d8 getinfo' at the end of the post, but this post/sub has other features identified.
