Tournaments
#81

Yup, it shouldn’t make a difference who starts it. Maybe @Baelnor missed the notification. Busy time of year and all

#83

@geigerm, it’s your turn in our LOW tourney game

#84

i totally screwed my Galaxy Trader game,
had read the rules but misinterpreted.
thought drawing a number would activate the 3-turn timer, but allow me to go on with building for that time too.
what a mess.
typical case of not having played for ages and trying to come back to a game by just reading rules and not playing a practice game :persevere:

#85

How bad can it be? :flushed: screenshot please?

#86

a total mess. had calculated i would need 2-3 more turns to finish building a decent ship, and so thought it might be about time to start the timer.

that unfinished piece of crap will be destroyed in space.
my well deserved bad.

#87

Sorry about that—I apparently forgot to finish my first turn … for four days. :flushed:

#88

@geigerm, no problem…glad you’re back

#89

I was so confused by that, like who is already done with their ship? It doesn’t look that bad though, and it forced me and others to bolt on a lot of suboptimal parts. My alluvial dampers are barely hanging on, I need a hydrospanner.

I assumed it was intentional! I hope you guys all get destroyed, as my single engine isn’t getting me anywhere near the front of the pack…

#91

I still have not even read the rules for the game and have little idea of what is going on. I played the tutorial when the game first came out, and am amusing myself by trying to play on what I remember. I am not even sure when our ships take off, we are still building I think.

#92

Glad to see I’m not the only one lol

#93

I like that the Decathlon is making me try/re-try new things. I don’t like Galaxy Trucker, and am remembering why now, which is fine. I also don’t like Agricola, and am in a casual game of it preparing for the tournament, but I owned both, so glad to get some use of them.

On the other hand, I LOVE Patchwork and had only purchased it for this purpose. Now I am playing it a bunch. I just downloaded Tigris and Euphrates & Brass last night, so looking forward to learning those games.

#94

I have Brass, but have yet to play it at all; I haven’t purchased T&E yet but will for the decathlon… in the same vein, this reminded me exactly why and how much I absolutely despise Star Realms lol

#95

I have 46 active games of Star Realms right now.

Each one swingier than the one before? :wink:

#97

Holy cow! I get stressed when I have 2 games of something going. You’re literally living one of my nightmares.

I am just under 62% win-rate for the last 500 games. I don’t see that as so swingy. The key to the game is to mitigate RNG, and I think that is what I like about the game so much.

As a fellow Star Realms fanboy, I gotta agree with @kennfusion. I’ve tightened up my game a ton over the past couple of months and the swinginess isn’t really a problem once I learned to do that.

@js619 just be glad we played base game only … :wink:

@Snotty128 or @geigerm Galaxy Trucker has a notification on it, but I cannot figure out if there is actually something I am supposed to do right now, or am I just waiting? I don’t see any actions to take in game.

#101

This may or may not be the problem, but Galaxy Trucker has an annoying habit of sending a notification every time there is a new weekly mission available for creating games. I stopped getting them when I didn’t play for awhile, but I expect them to be back for the duration of this round!
