  1. If that's what they said, they must have said it before release of CotDP or at least during the first two or  three exps... that is, BEFORE all decks were SO big as they are now  :D  I'm glad with all my boxes (5 of them, 2 tiny for Invest cards, 3 big for big cards) because reshuffling a deck now takes ages... and I mean reshuffling it well  ;)  (like, spreading all the cards face down on the table, and shuffling them in big circles and all...)


  2. That's an already asked question, several times that is. I actually think I even asked it myself once. And we even had that argument AGAIN yesterday evening. You're meant to, but I don't think it's written anywhere. We house ruled it that we search from the bottom of decks, if the card is found like in the thirty-around first cards, we don't shuffle (I got all the exps so we're sure not to even get to the half of any deck during the game), but if found nearer the begining of the deck, then we shuffle after that, yeah.

    Do it your way  :)  but do it well  ;)


  3. Sigma and Mateo, thanks for the feedback and the explanations about the mechanics. I'll keep on watching that game, that's for sure. If you say it is that great and takes the best from our previous games, ok, I'll keep that in mind.

    It was't very useful though to try to discuss about re-using drawings, because what I meant, is that it is GREAT to keep the world of Terinoth and all, but seeing the same **** frakin face of Silhouette in several games turns out to be annoying ! See what I mean ? Keep the charas, but change the drawings ! Draw her in another manner, differently dressed... you know, to give the feeling Terinoth is a living world, so we can enjoy it more. I don't get really immersed in a world that covers 3 or 4 games when the pictures are ALL the same, that's what I meant.

    And get me well : i'm not spitting on anything : me loves FFG  :)

    Mateo, were you talking to me or BTDtv for your last sentence ? Sorry, didn't get it  :r  if it was me, well, no, obviously not, i never played Runewars... yet I'm sure I'm wrong and you were talking about something else to someone else ! :)

    Luca : don't worry, it's not because I complain about SOMETHING from FFG that I will stop loving them FIRST PLACE in my heart ! so same for BoardtoDeath : it's not because I thought your vid was too long and mentioned too much irrelevant points that I'll stop loving your reviews  :)  I'm a member of BtD.tv, come on ! Cheers !

    Hem - how did you know?  gui%C3%B1o.gif

    How did I know what ? Come on, as we say in french "you're known as much as the white wolf", on BGG, and I know pretty well you put photos for your twilight cards on the BGG Android pictures :)

     

    Alexca, glad you found your answer thx to Lizard  :)  I had forgotten yesterday  :r


  5. Oh dear oh dear ! I was bluffed on that one ! An expansion for AH, that was the least I was expecting for ! It looks great, the artwork too ! Man, and I had bought everything and every tiny card box to contain all the material so far and it fitted so well......... until now !!! Aaaaarggg....

    awp832 and  CSpuppydog, you made me laugh. Difference with me would be that first, I just arrived at work now so I made my collegues startle when yelling "too coooool !" (in french), and then Im going to mail my woman at her office because of the slight difference with you CSpuppy : the conversation between my woman and I would have been :

    Me : Yay !

    Her : What is it, love ?

    Me : A new exp !

    Her : Sheesh, you **** geek...

    Me : A new exp for Arkham !

    Her : HOLY CRAP MOVE AWAY FROM THE SCREEN LET ME SEE !"

    :D  Yup : that's her favorite game  ;)


  6. Aow, I feel a bit disappointed. Mostly for two reasons :

    - first, this is the first time you make such a looooong video. I know, the game you reviewed is epic, complicated geeky stuff and all, but, well, you use to review hard games before and avoiding too inner-rules-related points...  this time, you really explained everything, and I am not really sure that is relevant (that is pure personnal point of view ok ?). I mean, knowing how many hexes far a piece can move and all, is no relevant stuff Id say (that's just an example).

    - second, and that has nothing to do with you this time : the game suddenly appeared to me like a whole mix of other games ! And not only because you mentioned it at the end of the vid, but all the mechanics, the drawings, and all... gee, it feels like FFG guys put Descent, Runebound, Chaos in the Old World, Twilight Imperium and Warrior Knights on a table, took out the big basics, the drawings and the pieces, and put them all back into that game... I might be somehow wrong, but not completely, when I tell you all that I feel a bit... cheated. Deceived. I mean, for a 70€ game (that is, more than 90 dollars, **** !) I expect FFG to provide a whole NEW game with lots of surprise and discoveries... I begin to feel a bit annoyed at all these remixes and recoveries of some already-done and sold material. That's annoying. For real ! Budget restrictions, FFG ? Or marketing con ? costs too much to make us dream big time like you use to do ? sorry to sound harsh. I'm just a bit... bah, anyway.

    I'll stop here and I'll relax now  :)


  7. Yo Alexca,

    Ah, sh... should have read your mail yesterday, instead of this morning, I could have looked in my box... but now, im leavin home for work so, sorry !

    Lizard (who redid a lof of twilight cards for his variant) should be able to help you Im sure. Anyway, I ll help you tonight back at home if nobody helped you before (which I doubt).

    Cheers !


  8. Er, no, I think you didn't get me. I was just kidding on the fact that if you thought I could be polish, it might be because I did the same mistakes that polish people do. Like, for instance, you know, my japanese friends say I speak like a chinese, because I do the same mistakes (grammar and all) that chinese people do (that is, when talking japanese), and not the mistakes corean or vietnamese people do.... follow me ? well, same here  :)  maybe I do polish people mistakes when talking english, more than french or german people ones ! That's all...

    Nothing harsh on polish people, you know... come on, what did you think  :(   do I look like a baddie ?  I even got far family in Poland by the way, maybe my mistakes come from here :D


  9. That's a quite useless thread. You're warned :)

    I was just sad not to see any new posts in that forum. There always new posts in minor games threads, but this one not for, what, two or three weeks, so I just, nicely, naively and childishly wanted to keep that forum alive  :)  ;)

    This game is great. Deserves to be known.

    So great that it's my gamer's all time favorite (among, what, something like 15 games I own). Many players voted it as the best game I have. Good reward, eh ?

    So great that I had to translate it in French, do the whole job myself, print it in color at work, cut the papers and all... I'm proud and I think I can be :D but I'm crazy too, since everyone could tell me "you should have bought the whole stuff in french, you idiot !". Yeah. Could have. Just couldn't avoid my FFG worshipping. Man, that's pathetic. I don't think that's pirating, since I bought the game in english. Had to translate EVERYTHING (even the character cards, the additionnal rows, and all...) and did it on Windows PAINT, cutting the english texts and all... man, I felt like a real geek at that moment  :D

    And I always say, at  the end of the game, when new players are like "wow, cool, I'm not used to board games, but this one was really refreshing ! ver entertaining !", I then always say that it's an italian game, made by two nice guys whose faces you can ACTUALLY see as the Astronomer and the Alchemist ! And people are amused by that  :)

    That's is ! To forge a realm, and keep its flame alive ! Bye bye !


  10. Ahah, so you're telling me I speak (actually, write) some english close to polish people's one ? make the same mistakes and all ? sounds funny  :)

    Anyway, that was nice, but I have to be fair : I only play with my relatives, I've never loved games (or anything, actually) as to play with strangers, sorry  ;)


  11. Hi there. I got the feeling most of your questions are answered in the FAQ. Get it in the support page ! and go on BGG !

    I am no pro, big AH rookie to say the truth, but I can answer simply while waiting for the fans for more precise answers :

    1. Yes for spells, no for Skills or Allies.

    2. Yes for spells, no for Skills or Allies.  what, "copy and paste" ? :D

    3. Why, yeah, sure, why wouldn't you ? you get it usually during the OW encounter phase, just after you got in during the previous (Arkham encounter) phase.

    4. Join me ? :D  I'll let that one to the pros, alright ?

     

    cheers !
