and on Challonge?

tournament will start tomorrow, Monday, January 9.

whovian (whovian223)
robt (robthomasson)

Yup it’s Neep on CR and Neep65 on challonge
Let’s go crazy!

Ok, this time I am the party pooper.
I tried very hard - thanks, but no thanks. Played the Tutorial and some couple of skirmish games but it did not click for me, at all. I do understand the basic ruleset puts it beside SR but that doesn’t alone make me want to play a game. Similar reaction to newer Ascension Decks without the main artist from the first decks. Doesn’t make sense but does prevent fun from settling in (the dreamscape mechanic does its fair share to alienate me as well)…

I do the appreciate the detail and Production values put in CR tough. The creepy tutorial Narrator was nice :slight_smile:

Holsten told me that at a certain point only the voice acting drew him further into the game.
he appreciates the female voice too.

by now he likes the game.
well, i guess the reigning King in Yellow must say so :sunglasses:

maybe you like to step into the line of KiY challengers for just one time?
to taste the spirit of CR competition “light”.

as always it’s quite another story to play vs human “intelligence”.
i remember some other games which did not click for me when playing tutorial, AI skirmish or campaign.
but when playing vs real opponents, motivation ignition went BOOM (Agricola, Neuroshima Hex, Samurai, Carcassonne, TtR, LoW, esp TS etc): “how the heck could he do that? i want to do that too!”

i just pushed “shuffle the seeds” and “start tournament” buttons for the
1st StatelyPay Cthulhu Realms Horrorship!

it does not matter who sends the challenge, as start player is randomized.
so game on and have fun/horror!

This is ironic. Holsten’s my opponent here, too!

Do we need two separate games (one for the King of the Hill and one for the tournament)? And if so, how will we tell them apart? :stuck_out_tongue:

of course two different games :smirk:

when i played a friendly and the YK challenge vs Holsten, i took screenshots of one of the games to stay in the picture.

Ok, 2nd challenge sent!

First challenge accepted, that is our king in yellow match.
I will accept the tourney game now, I can keep track which game belongs where. Some screenshots here and there help a lot. I learned from the king of screenshots Jamma :joy:

i can tell you!
in the moment the two Steam RtR games need all attention i can muster.
no replays and no game log = screenshots all over the places! phew…

Good game. I’m still learning and I think I got a little lucky with the cards that I drew.

hardco (43) over @KYakerDude (-4)

I got a turn 2 Catacomb (for 3 currency a turn) which went unanswered for too long. I scooped up the good green and yellow attack cards, and KYakerDude fell too far behind.

Good game, even if I still have to zoom to read every card, and then relate it to its Star Realms equivalent…

I knew I was behind, but I didn’t expect to lose just yet. That was an amazing final turn. The replay is a little fast and I don’t know the cards well enough to know exactly what happened other than dropping 20 points.

Good game.

I despise when games do not have an undo feature. Just mistouched vs. @JHTaube, ending turn prematurely. Not sure if it’s a game changer but don’t any of these developers realize that a lazy finger is entitled to a bit more love??? Gack, yuck and ugh. And poo too.

How many damage points was it? When i just loaded the replay it showed you taking off one point, moving me from 40 to 39. I can maintain the deduction, in our heads, so to speak.
