@onepagerules.bsky.social would it be allowed if someone took your paper miniatures sets and build a similar function for Army Forge jsons?

Also Jeez, didn't we never end up following you over here?!

If you're looking for five Leagues btw, I have a copy that I'll happily sell to you. πŸ™‚

It comes with a half of page of suggestions how to do co-op but you could easily just split your party between two or three players and just run the solo rules.

I think this is good, I could even see you stopping after "fully plan out strategies and moves".

The rest is defending the setup advice which people have decided if they'll follow or not.

Would a Solo/Co-op game work for you? Five Parsecs doesn't care if you get a bit silly with it like @peachytips.bsky.social does youtu.be/P6JO27IgXeU?...

This explains a lot about the names of different characters in this game! 😁

Osprey better put out a faq with the word written in the International Phonetic Alphabet, so you can check if the "winner" has completed its task correctly!

END OF GAME SCORING

Add up your scores from round I and round 2. The player with the highest total score wins, jumps up and down, and shouts "Bendigedig!" (a celebratory cry in Pilipalod).

In a tie, the player with the highest score in round 2 wins, jumps up and down, and shouts "Bendigedig!".

Flip Pick Towers from @ospreygames.bsky.social has a rule how to celebrate a win, does it count as cheating if I forget to follow this rule? πŸ˜…

Very curious to see if it comes close to €35 euros over here. But that would be a great price for a starter.

Ah okay, we have a direct Dutch translation (pissig) but nobody would consider a profanity, so suddenly were very aware we might have used it in our comics without realizing it's a profanity.

As someone who speaks English as a second language, is pissed considered a profanity?

Three-panel comic set in a board game store. A customer asks the store owner for help remembering a dice game his grandma loved. He describes that it uses dice, you write scores on a pad, and you yell something when all five dice match. The store owner correctly suggests β€œYahtzee” each time. In the final panel, the customer condescendingly tells the owner not to worry if it’s too hard. The store owner concludes that Yahtzee might be too complex for the customer and they have to find him another game...

We like the push-your-luck elements of the cheese dice. But since the specific dice powers vary every game, we don't really have a favorite.

See, "18XX" robber baron simulator board games are all about ruthless exploitation of opportunity, but on another level, knowing exactly when to buy and sell rare 18XX boardgames for maximum arbitrage is just playing those games on another level. Reminds me of Millennium Blades.
