Picked up Fallout Shelter.Looking forward to giving it a go.

NomadicGray · 28-10-2020 11:16pm

Just order the Nemesis 'Gameplay All-In Pledge' . I originally bailed on the first Nemesis kickstarter at the last minute and have regretted it, so let the FOMO take hold this time around.
Closes Friday for anyone else wanting to join me with massive FOMO!

A new board game and model online shop has opened up in Mayo - they have a nice selection and some good prices. I'm thinking of picking up Alone from them neverboard.ie/

My Wave one of Battletech Kickstarter bits has arrived.

wow ^^^ that brings me back a few decades ...remember playing it with metal fugures

Having fallen in love with Clank! I have just gotten Cthulu Realms and Ascensions Gift of the Elements.

Gonna be a busy xmas if Covid allows...gaming group has a back log of maybe 7/8 games to play.Good complaint in fairness:)

While picking up My First Carcassonne to play with my nieces, nabbed the modular board and some extra Automa decks for Scythe. Really need to get it to the table more.

I've bounced off this game so many times. Still determined to play it at some stage, but it's been a year or two just trying to learn the rules :eek:

NomadicGray · 15-12-2020 11:05pm

Ordered Core Space starter set and the Deluxe Rule Book this evening. From my bit of homework it seems right up my ally, even if set up looks a bit fiddley.
It'll mostly be for solo play I imagine but with such a long lockdown now I'm dying to get out and meet some actual people for games when we can.

So anyone down Cork way send me a message when we're all de-Nurgled.

Mysterium

Pulled the trigger and finally picked up Gloomhaven, currently sitting under the Christmas tree but the box weighs a tonne.

This will be my first order that straddles the Brexit divide. How much does a product need to be before customs applies?

Unbelievably, this was delivered this morning!

Finally bought a dice tower, real fed up of rogue dice crashing through stacks of nicely sorted play pieces.

Same here, way faster than the expected delivery. It's getting wrapped today for a sneaky unexpected surprise present.

Which one/where'd you get it, if you don't mind me asking?

guapos · 28-12-2020 7:17pm

Oldie for you all I'm sure but we bought Pandemic Legacy - season 1. What a game. Once we got over the confusion of not knowing what to do with the boxes and secret files it was pretty easy to get into you (we've played Pandemic) The excitement of opening boxes, the fun of adding stickers to the board and extra tactics of selecting upgrades make it my favourite game yet.

What do people do with their board and pieces when they've finished? Seems a shame to just throw out. Already thinking of framing board.

Cabaal · 19-03-2021 12:48pm

Some games are my choice, some are the other halfs.

Gunmonkey · 24-03-2021 12:12pm

Last game I bought was Root and the Clockwork Exp. Pity haven't had the chance to get it to the table, really needs 3 or 4 willing victi- I mean "participants"

Xenji · 24-03-2021 1:07pm

Picked up Descent Journeys In The Dark Second Edition over the weekend and the companion app is really handy as you could actually play it solo now, finally got Forbidden Island.

NomadicGray · 03-04-2021 10:36am

Ordered Cursed City this morning with OnTableTop. Looking now to see what I should ship out to make some space, no shortage of contenders

04-04-2021 2:36pm

Paddy Samurai · 15-04-2021 2:29pm

MarkHall · 27-04-2021 7:21pm

I do love me some Giant robots. So had to Nab this set from Gamersworld.
https://gamersworld.ie/product/battletech-clan-invasion-box/

A follow up to the Beginners box and Gamer of Armored combat box set.

It moves the focus from the Innersphere side. To the Clan Invaders.
with 5 new sculpt plastic mechs and 2 sqauds of Battle Armor. Maps Rules books and an introduction to the Clans.

20-05-2021 8:15pm

The Nemisis Bits arrived. There's a lot to get through here.

Played a 3 player Co-op game over TTS last night. Fairly quick once you have the counters and icons down. The noise dynamic adds a great level of tension to every move and plan.
The game itself felt like a solid Sci-fi ghost ship tale as we went along. And while hard the game never felt like it was messing with us a la Shadowrun crossfire. Hopefully don't reassess that point of view.

NomadicGray · 21-05-2021 10:16am

Got my Nemesis box last week, very impressed with the packaging!

Its such a highly quality product, Im glad I went for it in the end. I played 2 solo games, one with just The Soldier the other with The Soldier and The Medic, bot games told such great stories. We've played plenty on TTS over the lockdown and its never gotten boring yet, havnt introduced any expansion content either.

I am looking forward to the non Co-op games. Even in lasts nights game I was being accused of being shady despite achieving my own Objectives and assisting on one of the other players goals.

I dont need to see that Paddy, I think I only ever got a few half games of War Of The Ring in many years ago and loved what I played. I must break it out again and begin learning it proper

Was working in Galway yesterday, found Dungeons and DoNuts at lunch time :)

Nice hobby shop. Bought the Aliens Bug Hunt game

MarkHall · 14-09-2021 7:05pm

Not seen that before. Let us know how it played out for ya.

CatInABox · 05-10-2021 3:33pm

I've bought Catan Junior and Ticket to Ride First Journeys today, they're Xmas presents for the kids so won't be playing them for a while.

Nemanrio · 02-11-2021 7:30pm

This guy is usually pretty good at explaining games. There's others on youtube if his voice grates.

scary · 04-11-2021 8:03pm

Just received this. Lots of reading before I get stuck into it.

scary · 07-07-2022 7:52pm

Just took delivery of this.

07-07-2022 9:08pm

Looks amazing. Enjoy

CatInABox · 30-12-2023 12:19am

Santa delivered Sushi Go Party and King of New York to the kids, they're both quite good. Kids are going through a real board game phase at the moment, they're playing a lot of Love Letter, and Splendor.

RiderOnTheStorm · 16-02-2024 3:18pm

any recommendations for single player board game?

i like rpg, but not limited to it. liked the look of Dark Souls board game (online blurb says it can be single player) but its 80 quid and not sure its worth it ...
