Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 No real surprises in this list (I assume!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dualhunter Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 One surprise is that Pandemic is one of the 2 games on the list with a Hard difficulty rating (the - suggests that it's the harder of the 2) but it has the lowest recommended age (8+, though according to Amazon, the manufacturer recommends 13-15).

Kal-El814 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The links they have for X-Wing are... atrociously incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Why was I unaware of Talisman?! I need to buy it now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I have a willpower problem. I went to Amazon to check out Talisman and ended up buying Blood Rage on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Oh I didn't realize Betryal at Hill House was such a relatively short game. It's always sitting next to the Arkham Horror games so I assumed it was a 120+ min type thing. Def gonna pick that up at Pax this year.

Yeah, depending on which scenario you end up getting, a play-through can be pretty short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 So...I thought this list was going to be games from 2018 or something, but it's just a collection of board games (from all time) that they think PC gamers would like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interpreted hard as in hard to win, not hard to understand. It seemed like they used 'complexity' to explain the later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 My son and I are really enjoying Xwing -- but it takes a LOT longer than that to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve got your kit and you know all the ship rules, you can get it done in 45 min. Been a while, but I think that’s the time they use in tourneys.

Standard is 75 minutes (although TO's are free to set the game at 60 or 90 minutes). I have no doubt that you're right and it "could" be done in 30-45 minutes -- but you have to be going REALLY fast. I think most novices will be in the range of 2 hours for their first few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
