Nebula had been defeated! We recovered the Power Stone! It was a fun space chase 🔫🦝🚀 This scenario felt intimidating at the beginning, but it was manageable, a nice difficulty level for my slightly modified precon deck 😀 Next: final scenario facing Ronan The Accuser 😱

The Collector has been defeated! We escaped the museum! 🔫🦝🚀 Tough victory in my scenario 3 second attempt 😁 Maybe thanks to replacing my 3 Hand Cannons with 3 Moments of Triumph? 🤔 Or because I realised that Follow Through is an Upgrade and not an Event! 🤦‍♂️ #boardgames #marvelchampions

Final state of Marvel Champions card game. Rocket Raccoon v. The Collector. Villain cards and deck on top. Player cards at the bottom. Tokens and health trackers.

Comparison between Hand Cannon card (upgrade with cost 2 that has 3 uses and gives +2ATK + overkill) and Moment of Triumph card (event with cost 0 and Hero response that heals equal to excess damage dealt when an enemy is defeated)

Follow Through card: cost 2, Upgrade that increases excess damage by 1.

It didn't go well 🤕 This Collector's version is tough! I'm not very much into the deck-building part, but I'm considering replacing some weak cards to tune the deck a bit 😁 #boardgames #soloboardgames #soloboardgaming

Game end of Marvel Champions. Rocket Raccoon defeated by the Collector: Main scheme over 15 threats. Villain deck and cards on top. Player's cards at the bottom.

Played SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/41... #bggplay via @boardgamegeek.com I liked how the turn is one main action and any number of free actions, this gives a nice sensation of agency. And the way the solar system changes by rotating the discs is great!

Played Andromeda's Edge #boardgame at 4 players. Long rule explanation but everything makes sense, easy to find answers in the rulebook while playing. It's a very well developed game, interesting choices and beautiful components. I like it! Looking forward to playing it again our next game night!😊

Update: Groot had to come and help: with him I finally managed to defeat the Collector (std) on the 2nd scenario of Galaxy's Most Wanted (no pic). Rocket Raccoon came back to face the Collector again in the 3rd scenario and won! My favourite scenario so far 🥳🥳 #Boardgames

Marvel Champions Galaxy's Most Wanted: defeated by the Collector (std) for 2nd and 3rd time! I've lost by him completing his collection first, then by a 7-threat scheme action and finally killed by 2 minions that attacked me upon entering play together. I think *he* is playing with me 😅 #Boardgames

Marvel Champions, second scenario of The Galaxy's Most Wanted: defeated by the Collector (standard) 😵 A half-poisoned Rocket Raccoon was ready to fire and kill him next turn, but he completed his collection. I'll need to keep better track of it next time! #Boardgames

Roberto Allgood @robclemente.bsky.social · 17/02/2024

Just played Marvel Champions after a long time since my last play. Defeated Drang (normal) with Rocket Raccoon. A bit rusty with the rules, but it was a nice victory with the villain very close to completing his scheme. I'll try the other scenarios without the campaign rules for now. #Boardgames

I can't believe I managed to fit both expansions in the base game box of Lost Ruins of Arnak (although the individual boards for basic characters will stay out... who plays with those anyway 😄). Looking sooo much forward to playing the campaign! #Boardgames boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/31...

Just played Nucleum boardgame (3 players, 1st time). In despite of many rules played wrong (and corrected as soon as we realized) I enjoyed it a lot! Nice sensations when building the right chain of actions and interesting scoring system. Took forever though! 🥲 boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/39...

Just played the boardgame Expeditions for the third time. Quick rule explanations and a lot of fun moving the Mechs around, but I don't think I want to play it again with five players -takes too long! I think I'd like it better if I hadn't lost so miserably 🥲 boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37...

Roberto Allgood @robclemente.bsky.social · 05/11/2023

Played Above and Below (Ryan Laukat, 2015) for third time. Pros: Simple rules, great components, looks beautiful on the table, interesting decisions. Cons: Too long! Reading the exploration paragraphs is fun but it takes a lot of time. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/17...
