if you are a huge fan of firefly you will likely still find enjoyment in legendary firefly. but it is a game that clearly puts theme above having fun. plus the art isn't that great.
Yo for real - Descent 2e with Road to Legend is slowly becoming my favorite gaming experience ever. Despite a bit of confusion every once in a while, it's just a ton of fun to play. With my collection being massive, it feels even more exciting every time I start a new quest.
That's all.
There is a tutorial campaign, a full campaign (Kindred Fire) and The Delve, which I Lind of describe as procedural Descent. So, a good amount I think.
I have played solo through 4 player and never found any version particularly easier than the others. More players does allow more allies to buff a skill check, but it's rare IME that you have all your allies ready and willing to throw in on a skill check.
You really should! Once they release an Imperial Assault version I'm going to be broke buying everything. A friend has a bunch of IA stuff but he's 3+ hours from me. Can't wait for the rare hangout for Star Wars!
Yeah I don't know if there's a consensus, but I'd actually say more players is generally more difficult. 4x the mythos cards for one, which can often be really painful. Heck with 4 you can't even lock down mythos phase with a scrying like you can with 2-3. We usually play it with 3, and I'd say that's the perfect amount though I think the game is technically balanced slightly more for 2 (as in that's sort of the default player count). What I like about 3 is you really feel like a team, having to make decisions about when to split and who's protecting whom, etc. Always getting worried when a Daisy teched only for support and investigation has to run off on her own for some reason.
7 Wonders Duel and Race for the Galaxy are two of my favorites for that sort of category. I'm quite intrigued by this game though. For $13 on Amazon I'll almost certainly grab it, so thanks for the recommendation.
I just grabbed Oh My Goods! from Amazon this week, and it came with English rules. I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet though.
I brought two games with me to play while we were there - Cosmic Encounter and 7 Wonders. None of us had played these games before, though I'd looked CE up ahead of time (and was why I bought it) and 7W was bought for me at Xmas. Just returned from a holiday with some friends - we all play board games, though not as regularly as we might like
Had an absolute blast playing Cosmic Encounter. I think the other three people were a little intimidated at first by all the rules and pieces, but it didn't take too long to pick up. We played a lot of this over the holiday, and we're sorting a meetup soon to play some more (and I'll probably grab the first expansion to see what this reward deck is all about).
Before playing it, I thought 7 Wonders was going to be the 'safer' of the two games, but to my surprise we were all pretty lukewarm on it. It's not like it doesn't play well or isn't fun, but for a group who only played it a handful of times, it was quite hard to tell if we were 'playing it right'. One of our group mentioned that the reason they didn't like it as much as CE was because "I don't really feel like there's much of a narrative in anything I'm doing".
Kinda curious to ask folks here who play 7 Wonders regularly - is there an expansion I should be looking at, or maybe a variant that might make it go down better, or does it just seem like it's not to our tastes? Would also appreciate any game recs if you happen to have them - besides CE we've played a lot of Pandemic, Ticket to Ride, Catan and TIME Stories. Thanks!
Likely going to try to play it again sooner, with a refresher of rules, because we had fun.
