questo mese su Kamchatka, la mia rubrica sui giochi da tavolo per il Post, si parla di #Flamecraft, tra teneri draghetti artigiani e giochi di worker placement per principianti, ma che danno soddisfazione anche ai giocatori un po’ più esperti👇🐲
So, my eldest had some leftover money to spend on #boardgames (long story, don't ask), and we went to pick them a few days ago. After spending the weekend playing around with them, I think I'm ready for a #review thread
So, the “piéce the rèsistance” in these new additions to his small #boardgame collection is #Flamecraft https://bgg.cc/boardgame/336986/flamecraft
a resource management game with a #fantasy setting with some very attractive art (that was one of the reasons why he picked it, TBH).
The game mechanics are solid, but a bit convoluted, and may require multiple playthrough to get really used to, which is almost ironic given that there's only one/two major choices each player has to do each turn.
Personally, #Flamecraft is the game I liked the least among these ones, while my eldest is very happy with the purchase (although for him too it's not his favorite). I would rate it between a 6 and 7: it wouldn't be my first choice for a game, especially if there are newcomers, but its very nice art is attractive enough to actually help bring people to it.
Got some nice plays in with the wife and kids today, and both came down to tie-breakers!
First, Lindsey, myself and our 10 year old played #TheQuacksOfQuedlinburg. Came down to Lindsey and me but I won the tie by having more ingredients in my pot.
Then our 7 year old joined in for #Flamecraft. Lindsey and 7 tied but 7 broke the tie by having the most goods at game end. I don't think I've ever played two on a row, both ties
We tried our hand at 4 player #Flamecraft and it surprisingly well for 2 of the players being 7 and 10 years of age. It was much more cut throat when it came to buying enchantments. Of course my wife won (and it was her first play of the game) because she wins everything.
Had some great #games of #Flamecraft today. First, taught it to my 7 year old. She needed help chaining actions together to make the most sense, she really enjoyed it. And daddy only beat her by a point!
Second, I played another #solo game, this time scoring my highest points and unlocking an achievement. I like the achievement system as solo players play with a specific combination of dragons and shops, but unlock new combinations as you fulfill achievements
I finally pulled the trigger on #Flamecraft after looking at it at every game store I've been into for months. I'm bout to try it out with a #solo game!
Ok, das ist schon ein bisschen ein Overkill in seiner Knuffigkeit, oder? 🤪 Man kriegt Vibes aus dem Ahorntal...
Aber für ein paar Partien ist sicher auch für Große Spielspaß drin.
Gestern aus der Ausleihe geholt, gemeinsam mit #Akropolis, auf das freu ich mich schon, hab ich bisher nur auf #BGA gezockt, kommt heute später noch dran. 👍 #Flamecraft#Brettspiele@brettspiele
