I learned that, ironically, I'm close to Mike in tastes - with some exceptions (Ie, I like Marvel United more, I like Marvel Champions more than Arkham Horror LCG though I love both). I found myself slowly, progressively agreeing with each consecutive list more and more, heh. I've also heard that Massive Darkness 2 is supposedly fun in standalone mode, and that only the campaign mode is bad, but I can't personally attest to that as I've never played it.

Yeah. ATO is in many ways a masterpiece I’d say. I mentioned some comparisons in the video, but the boss fights here use a lot of the ATO mechanics, and the random encounter tables are kind of like the random stories in ATO.
I'm so used to playing multi-player games as solo that it seems like you are cheating every time you plan how a trick will go. 🤣

This solo or For Northwood?
@OneStopCoopShop2 күн бұрын
I discuss that a bit in my upcoming review and our podcast episode this Sunday. This is more of a "pure" trick-taking experience, whereas For Northwood is in many ways not a normal trick-taker (you never lead tricks for example). But For Northwood is also built for solo, while the solo mode here can be a bit random with cards coming in and out of your hands. I'm probably keeping both :)

So disappointing that the box barely fits sleeved cards even when using very thin sleeves. I sleeve everything but really dislike the feel of cheap thin sleeves. What brand/thickness (in microns) did you use to just barely fit them in the box? I don't really like trick taking but I love co-ops and LotR so I have it pre-ordered (with the small promo for Hobby Next stores) but not being able to fit in the box sleeved is a deal breaker for me.

@@OneStopCoopShopSleeve Kings standard sleeves are 60 microns, so somewhere between penny sleeve thickness (40 microns usually) and premium (90+ microns). While I would prefer being able to use a premium sleeve, 60 microns is good enough for a sleeve to not feel like floppy cellophane (for me at least).

5:44 if you marked harder cards with symboles you could have them shuffel into the deck when the dominance card came reached points. it would add to your multy dominance card feel as if kolos came out a third in would be diferent than high level nolbels coming in a third in and the other coming in at the 2 third mark would add to the set up time to seperate the deck.

This is how Mercurial handles it; the player boards each have an (almost) symmetrical character on one side and a highly asymmetrical character on the reverse side. What's fun is they're all balanced against each other so you can mix and match symmetrical and asymmetrical however you like.
