    I have sunk hundreds of hours into all 3 Witcher PC games over the past decade.....I really like the new Netflix series....and I am lukewarm on this game. I didn't back it since it seems very generic and I don't see it being that much different than the other games I already own. I asked...

    Here are the models from the base game: I also got the Carnomorph and Void Seeker Expansions, but I haven't opened them up yet. I believe they are different colors. I didn't want to open them until I played the base game more and got more familiar with the rules. Eventually when...

    It will be an epic weekend coming up for gaming. My Nemesis KS package came in.....I got the sundropped version and I have to say the aliens are really cool looking being a darker shade of green with black accents. I got the Carnamorph and Void Seeker expansions with it and I heard they are...

    They apparently got the license to make an Elder Scrolls game, if you've ever played the computer game before. It's basically like an open world RPG. It's one of the most popular I would say. Skyrim was a huge hit, and that was the latest release, being years ago. Others like Morrowind did...

    Is the ebay version just for DTA, or does it by chance include season 1 rerolled? Because if it's for the latter, then $145 isn't a bad deal. If it's just for DTA, then yeah, that's like a 100% markup. As much as I am enjoying DTA, I have plenty of other games atm to go through, I haven't...

    I've played 2 full games of DTA now, first time was as Moon Thief and Paladin, second time as Shadow Thief and Treant. We were playing with the Season 1 rerolled characters because those were all new to us (I have owned Season 2 for over year now). Definitely some characters work better than...

    I read the article. One person lived in Westlake. Another in West Hollywood. Like literally two of the more expensive parts of town. Homes here cost $1,000 a sq. foot - that's right, a small 1000 sq ft condo is gonna run you a million bucks. The third lived in K-town which is in the central...

    Ok I finally unboxed and organized DTA. Each boss comes with 40 cards. The loot cards are NOT standard sized cards. They are the same size as the player (Hero) cards, which tend to be a little taller and narrower than standard cards such as Arkham Horror or Aeons End. I am going to post on...

    Yeah, I got the Hero sleeves @Hateyou listed, they work great. It's kinda weird they didn't offer sleeves for the loot cards and minion cards. The loot cards are standard size so you can use any sleeve. The minion cards are large.....they are a weird dimension I'm not sure I've encountered...

    Maybe it's just me, but I find the cards to neon-y for my tastes. Gameplay doesn't seem very inspired either, like it's a derivative of every other CCG out there. Which is a shame, bceause I'm with @Hateyou , Dice Thrones is one of the best games I own. I just got Season 1 Rerolled and Dice...

    I've been playing Etherfields a lot lately. I like it a lot more than Tainted Grail, which I found to be repetitive, and more suitable for solo play. The story line in TG is top notch however. Playing Etherfields is like they took the best ideas from various games. It has the 7th Continent...

    That looks cool. I looked it up on the Firestorm website but unfortunately they are based in the UK, so shipping to the US basically doubles the price of the game. I looked it up on Amazon and they have it listed but it looks different than the one you linked....it comes in a white canvas bag...

    I think Dice Throne and Clank are both great suggestions. My gf also isn't into board games nearly as much as I am, but she has gotten to enjoy them more and those are 2 of her favorites. I know you said you didn't like coops, but her favorite game is Aeon's End, something to consider. If you...

    So this just launched. I have always heard good things about Nemesis, but I never got a chance to get a copy as this game was super expensive to buy on the secondary market since there hasn't been a reprint until now. This is for Nemesis: Lockdown, which I guess is a standalone sequel...

    The Division 2

    Personally, I always run the daily PvE quest. That usually involves running a mission, donating 50 supplies, and doing like 3 side quests in a certain zone. Also you have to kill named, but doing the mission usually takes care of that. I like doing bounties because they are fairly easy to...

    Speaking as a businessman, that is not a sustainable model, especially for a small company or an individual. That is too many SKUs for starters. Also, the reason the $150 big box is available for $150 is because they are contracted to print a certain number of units.....usually in the...

    The Division 2

    I'm personally still enjoying the game, even despite it's limitations. Graphically, I think it's really good for an open world type game. I'm always blown away by the small details. You can wander around the streets for hours and find little details that really immerse you into the game. I...

    Gloomhaven

    I want to be in, but I'm still trying to finish up my GH with my group. We are probably 10-12 scenarios from finishing. We play once a week at best, 1-2 scenarios at a time, so it will be a few months until we finish. Then we still have Forgotten Circles to go through, and then maybe Jaws of...

    Gloomhaven

    Although I do agree tanking is completely unnecessary in Gloomhaven, I would disagree that the Brute sucks at it. Really, there are probably only 2 classes in the entire game that can tank, the Brute and the Sun. I played Brute as my first character as a tank, and he did just fine. Although...

    Gloomhaven

    I would NOT advise each playing two classes, especially when you are just starting out. The game is quite involved, and it takes a few games in to get a feel for all the game mechanics. With each of you playing a single character, that should be plenty since the game scales really well with...

    You can get Seafall for super cheap on Amazon. I picked it up for $13.50 a while back, I think it normally sits around $20. It's a 5 player legacy game, but it didn't catch on and got middling reviews, I think because of a runaway leader affect. That being said, it is a heavy box with a lot...

    I have started 2 separate businesses from scratch, so I can't comment on buying another person's business. I have been asked to partner with others in other ventures, but I never have because either I didn't have enough control over operational decisions, or the risk/reward balance wasn't...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Saw it last night. Theater was 80-90% full so already not a great sign. Overall, the movie wasn't that bad, I did like the conclusion of Rey and Kylo's story arc (all my favorite scenes involved Rey and/or Kylo using their force powers), outside of that though everything seemed rushed, like...

    It looks interesting. I loved Divinity as a PC game, I have no idea how well it will translate as a board game. I personally have not "crossed-over", i.e. I haven't played any board games that were originally computer games (like Fallout, WoW, etc), and I don't play board games on my phone or...

    Yes. The way it works is when you start an encounter, everyone that is on the same tile as you can participate. Everyone who decides to join the fight becomes part of the Party. Then you take turns being the Active Player. You will each start with a certain number of cards, this number goes...

    Ok I've played through Chapter 1, here is my initial take on Tainted Grail (no spoilers). First and foremost, it's a very engrossing game. I really like the story elements, and I can't wait to play more to see how the game unfolds. People have said it's like a mix between Gloomhaven and 7th...

    I ended up getting my copy early, it had an original estimated arrival date of the 19th, but actually arrived on the 15th, which is amazing to me considering it was shipped from Poland on the 13th, which meant it only took 2 days to reach me from Europe. I’m really happy with the sundrop, the...

    No, to qualify for the Day 1 gift you have to pledge one of the tier levels, the cheapest of which is the standee box at $99. But remember, they won't charge your card until the KS ends, so just remember to back out if you get cold feet and decide it's not for you, you will lose nothing. Also...

    Overall a decent season, not the best (for me that would be season 2), and not the worst (for me that would be season 3). I am afraid even this show has not avoided the SJW treatment, as the main antagonist is some proto-typical fascist who warns against "fake news" and the need to put "Britain...
