LadyMarth01Root: The Homeland Expansion all-in pledge finally fulfilled. Amusing to think that it was cheaper to just go all-in than it was to get everything but the base game. Guess I'll have a copy to sell or give away!
Taught and played the Root base game yesterday. I was the Woodland Alliance, up against the Marquis de Cat and the Eyrie Dynasty. The birds got off to a solid start, but a nasty ambush card pushed the Eyrie into turmoil. This event was later repeated in the exact same manner, leaving me teaming up with the Eyrie for most of the game to try to wrangle the cats into control. Unfortunately, I wound up one action short of a points victory before the Marquis de Cat achieved a domination victory.
PelikiltaHitaasti ja harvoille
Pidän kovasti siitä ajatuksesta, että pelit suunnitellaan huolellisesti ja laatua vaalien. Jos peli myöhästyy alkuperäisestä julkaisuaikataulusta, se on varsin helppo ymmärtää. Tarvitaan lisää aikaa ja keskeneräistä ei pidä työntää näytille. Ei pullaakaan oteta uunista ennen kypsymistä. Toki elantonsa pelisuunnittelulla ansaitsevat tahot tarvitsevat kolikkosäkkejä, joiden päällä istua tukevasti pelin kehityssyklin ajan, mutta se on oma juttunsa. Jokunen aika sitten […]
Calico JesseInteresting news.
Cole Wehrle is splitting his off from Leder Games to form a new company, taking Oath and Arcs with him. Root stays with Leder.
A Letter from Cole Wehrle
Eight years ago I walked through the doors of a converted warehouse on the edge of Saint Paul and made my way through a back staircase to the still unfinished second floor. I wandered around a bit before I got to a set of doors with a single sheet of paper taped to the door with the words “Leder Games” printed on it.

Arcs - Como Jogar
[AF]2050I giochi da tavola della #LederGames non sono altro che opere d'arte. Non sono per tutti, ma il valore artistico e il controllo di qualità assurdo rendono questi prodotti unici di un'estetica che non si intravede in molti gioco da tavolo.
Quello che vedete sicuramente vi farà implodere il cervello, ma serve giorni (o persino settimane) di studio per capire questi giochi.
Ci sono partito con Root, che è stato il titolo che ha reso famoso la Leder Games.
FearteilerAm Tagesende freute ich mich wie Bolle, denn ich konnte zum Abschluss #ARCS von #ledergames spielen. Es war das Grundspiel in Vollbesetzung (also eine Partie zu viert). Es wurde nach der guten Regelerklärung die Startaufstellung bestimmt und dann ging es los. Das Spiel zeigt einige Besonderheiten gegenüber anderen Spielen
- Karten- und Aktionsauswahl und
- Punktemöglichkeit durch Beanspruchung von Zielen
Der Rest ist normale Kost:
- Rennen auf Siegpunkte 9/12

leperussyDoes anyone in #boardgames Mastodon have a good tutorial/playthrough of Vast Mysterious Manor they could point me too? It was one of the first games I bought and we immediately put it away for like two years because neither I (brand new to board games) or my partner (resident Rules Maestro) could figure out how to play correctly.

SteveArcs Blight Reach, solo 3 handed
So anyone who followed me elsewhere knows that I have some big problems with Arcs as a game, but there's still something that is really interesting buried at the core of it that I can't get over. This is like x5 true of the campaign game, which does this intriguing endogenous table versioning via its different fates, varied starting points from last game, and dynamics between them. It's quite an interesting design space and it makes Arcs the "can't quit you" game that I keep poking at despite being repulsed by a lot of other elements about the game that don't fit with my gaming sensibilities or that I genuinely think are bad design and development aspects. I ran a solo 3 hander because I enjoy playing with the texture of the different developing different board situations. While Arcs isn't like great this way, weirdly it doesn't play that badly since the game is so insanely chaotic and tactical that you can't really make long term planning decisions very well even if you knew the other player's cards.
In this game, Partisan, Caretaker, and Founder created a tableau that was quite different than other campaign games I've either played in earnest or soloed---there was no incumbent empire fate that was looking to supercharge the empire, so while the partisan took a little of that role, it led to a board state with few incentives to keep the empire besides some convenience... and Founder immediately wants to bail and gut the empire as best as they can. The game definitely exposed the part of the fates system that a friend has detailed several times; a lot of the tenor, though not the specifics, of the game is set before and between games by the fate choice. This sets it in complete contrast with Wehrle's other design, Oath, which I consider a true masterpiece in this space that does a lot of what this game is doing but a lot better.
