Gloomhaven - Buttons and Bugs: a new tiny solo version

Gloomhaven - Buttons and Bugs: a new tiny solo version - Lemmy.world

For a quick solo Gloomhaven experience! There was a similar print and play version called Gloomholdin‘. > Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs is a solo play game, with an original campaign story written by Isaac Childres, that features a playstyle similar to Gloomhaven in a fraction of the size. > Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs is set after the events of Gloomhaven and Forgotten Circles. The Aesther recluse Hail has earned a reputation for being highly instrumental in saving the city from recurring disasters, and she absolutely hates it. Wannabe heroes are constantly barging in on her studies at the Crooked Bone, looking for help in becoming famous themselves — not to mention all the demons that come by looking for vengeance. She briefly considered moving, but as that would require effort, she instead just placed an enchantment on her front door: Anyone who attempts to open it becomes miniaturized and therefore is no longer a problem. > Your character is one such wannabe hero. In an ill-advised attempt at fame, they try to visit Hail, and poof. Now they’re the size of a mouse and have entered an entirely different realm of lawlessness and self-preservation. They must find a new way into the Crooked Bone to convince Hail to return them to their previous size. > Each scenario is a single card, pitting one mercenary against a handful of enemies with simplified actions and AI. Each mercenary has a hand of just four double-sided cards, but they can be used twice — both the front and the back — before they are discarded. Attacks are resolved using a die in conjunction with a modifier table, and both the table and the mercenary ability cards can be improved as you level up throughout the campaign. > —description from the publisher

Cheapest way to get into Arkham Horror LCG?

Cheapest way to get into Arkham Horror LCG? - Lemmy.world

I really love the Core Set of the AH LCG! Now I want to dig deeper without ending up poor. What are my options? Good thing: I‘m just a casual gamer. I could get it to the table probably once a week max for an hour or two. That‘s why i can squeeze months of fun out of a set. But how do I proceed in 2023? There are mythos packs, scenarios, campaigns, cycles, deluxe editions, return to editions…?! It get‘s more complicated: I‘m from Germany and want to play the sets, that are released here in german. What I already own: - 1st edition core set <— only box I played yet - 1st edition Dunwich set - 1st edition Carcosa set (someone sold these 3 for 25€) My questions: - I don‘t own any mythos packs or anything else. So Dunwich and Carcosa are incomplete, right? Should I sell them? Because: - Tracking down „old“ (German!) mythos packs to complete the sets I own could end up very expensive and difficult, right? - The return to-editions are cheap here, but it doesn‘t make sense to play them, if I don‘t own the standard cycles, right? - The „new“ campaign/investigator expansions are probably the easiest way to get another set, but they are kind of expensive (~50€ each). Still cheaper then buying every single mythos pack (15-25€ each), right?

Is there sth like Jaipur, that plays equally great with more players (but still great with 2)?

Looking for an awesome pub game for 2-4p!

Looking for an awesome pub game for 2-4p! - Lemmy.world

What we‘re looking for: - Easy to learn, hard to master - small footprint - It has to be great with both 2 or more players (up to 5) - exciting (push your luck or take that or similar mechanisms, maybe bluffing? A coop small engine builder tycoon game heavier than Bohnanza maybe?) What we already have and like, but are bad with 2p - The Crew: Awesome, but sucks at 2p - For Sale - High Society What we didn‘t enjoy: - Sushi Go Party - Cascadia (also too big) - King if Toyko (awesome but a bit too big, we‘d prefer a game without dice) - Love Letter - Coup

Quick! Name ONE favorite in each category! - Lemmy.world

Your favorite lightweight game at the moment Your favorite game of medium weight at the moment! Your favorite heavyweight game at the moment! Your most played game of all time! Your favorite game of all time! ========== Here‘s my list: - King of Tokyo: Awesome art, great table presence, easy to learn, different winning conditions, always fun! - Tidal Blades: I love asymmetric RPGs with character customization! But I only got it to the table once. Time will tell if it holds up. - Arkham Horror LCG: My heaviest game atm, since I don’t find enough time for longer games. The most immersive game I played so far! I‘m impressed how this game is designed and I love my depressing roguelike experience with Lovecraft theme here! - Most played: Dominion. - World of Warcraft - The Board Game has to be my all time favorite: It reminds me of times, when we had opportunities almost monthly to get together and play these long games. Again, customizable asymmetric characters, thrilling item management and fighting mechanic, skill trees (expansion), everything I loved about the PC game was so well captured here.

Endlich was gegen diese @&#% Pollen!!!

Endlich was gegen diese @&#% Pollen!!! - Lemmy.world

Von Jahr zu Jahr wurde es schlimmer. Trotz Cetirizin, später Desloratadin, Vividrin akut in Nase und Augen - Niesattacken, laufende Nase, alles verstopft, Kopfschmerzen, Nasenbluten, Jucken, dass man sich die Augen ausreißen will. Dann schnürte sich mir dieses Jahr erstmals die Brust zu, als es besonders heftig war. Asthma. „Desensibilisierung sei aktuell nicht möglich, kommen Sie im Winter wieder. Bis dahin nehmen Sie mal Mometasonfuorat-haltiges Nasenspray. Wirkt aber erst nach ein paar Tagen, also fleißig weiter nehmen.“ Nach 4 Tagen war es dann tatsächlich soweit. Ich bin (so gut wie) symptomfrei. Mir gehts so gut, dass ich abends fast vergesse, es zu nehmen. Also: Wenn ihr auch so leidet, probierts mal (nach Rücksprache in Apotheke oder Praxis). Ich wünschte, man hätte mir früher davon erzählt.

Bund und Länder wollen stärker gegen homophobe Gewalt vorgehen

Bund und Länder wollen stärker gegen homophobe Gewalt vorgehen - Lemmy.world

Gewalttaten gegen queere Menschen sind 2022 gestiegen. Die CDU lobt Ron DeSantis „Analyse“, auch die AfD importiert den US-amerikanischen Kulturkampf, z.B. indem sie mit einem Plakat suggeriert, Transmenschen würden Kinder angreifen. Schön, dass die Bundesregierung das anders sieht.

Nicht perfekt, aber ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung, der unter CDU/FDP wohl eher nicht passiert wäre.
