Damn I felt that one lol. Trying to get multiple adults who all have full time jobs and kids schedules to line up is literally impossible. I have straight up given up on it

I remember when I first played all the enemies just immediately attacked Gale or whoever was the weakest. It was pretty brutal to keep Gale alive lol

That’s how corporations view us peasants. As their property that they are entitled too.

Well for me it’s taken a long time since I can only play in about 15-30 min increments since I’ve got a kid. However I’d say an experienced player(s) would probably take about 4-6 hours? Definitely something you could finish in one day if you started early enough. Definitely faster than some of the more heavy wargames that’s for sure.

Just set up my new copy of War of the Ring. Never played before so I’ll be learning as I play. On my big table I have Death in the Trenches set up but I’m almost done with that. Once that’s done I’ll be replacing it with Pacific War, I’m also playing that online with a group but nothing beats the physical game!

Thanks for the input! Yeah I play a lot of very rule heavy games too so I would probably view it as light as well. Might have to put it on my ever growing list of games to buy!

Let’s see this month has been a good one for board games. The wife and I played Splendor and Terra Mystica. She always beats me in Splendor, I don’t know why but I always lose by one 1 point every time! On the heavier/wargames side of things I’ve been playing Death in the Trenches had to take a two week break while I was out of town but I’m about 2/3 done with it and it’s been an exciting back and forth. Also have plans to play Pacific War and War Room later in the month.

How is the Deep Rock Galactic game? Love the video game and the board game looked interesting but I never pulled the trigger.

For anyone scrolling by I decided to be the change I want to see and created a new hex and counter community. If you have any interest in wargaming particularly hex and counter style swing by! https://lemmy.world/c/hexandcounter

I’m going to miss r/hexandcounter. Wargaming is already a niche genre of boardgaming and the hex and counter is even further niche
