Bit meh tbh. A lot of progression is dependent on whether or not you can upgrade your tools, and that's heavily RNG. We've had plenty of games where we just could not roll the ores to upgrade our tools.

It’s actually a pretty good board game.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago

It was $60. I don't have any frame of reference for if that's a good price or a ripoff. The box was WAY heavier then I thought. Pretty sure they ship this thing with some bricks or something.

I bought it when it was new and still haven't played it. My wife and I brought it out and took it apart once, but by the time we were done getting all the pieces ready, we didn't feel like playing it anymore. I'm sure it's a great game, but I don't often want to familiarize myself with a bunch of little details when I'm just trying to play a quick, chill game with the family.

The box does clearly state play time of 45m per player, not sure why you'd ever think it's quick

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

I didn't. But if it takes 45 minutes to play, then it'll take even longer to read and interpret the instructions, then play, and I haven't wanted to do that yet.

What did it cost? Online prices seemed super high, even compared to bgg hits like dune uprising or the smaller gloomhaven.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

$60. Is that high? I can't tell anymore in an economy where a McDonalds cheeseburger costs more than my dad paid for his house....

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

It's not! The only option I could find which would get me the game to Germany was 128€ (including shipping and tax). So around double, assuming that your price is without sales tax.

I have this. It's a super chill coop game. You have grampa's goals, and then fish, harvest, make friends etc. I recommend it.

Chill is one way of putting it. The time limit is a hell of a crunch

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I honestly agree. The game felt too random and had too much of a time crunch for me to call it chill. Also it took ages to play and set up

I love the video game, but the board game was very eh

[–] [email protected] 2 points 49 minutes ago

Maybe for the first playthrough? The rest were a breeze once we figured it out.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, wow. I had import the game to Germany by a specialised board game retailer... Took a few months and bucks.

Ha ha ha. Here I am, didn't even know this was a thing, and was like "Oh, neat." snaps pic
