My wife and I will be doing Escaparium in Laval tomorrow evening and Wednesday. We would love to find 2 more people to team up with since most of their games recommend 4 players.

Tomorrow at 21:30 (9:30pm) we are signed up for Ctrl Alt Reboot.

Wednesday we are signed up for "Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen", "The Forgotten Cathedral", "Wardrobe for Sale", and "Magnifico".

My wife and I make an awesome team, but more importantly, we love escape rooms. When one of us is opening a lock, we'll call everyone else over so they can see what happens. After all, we are there to experience the room and it's just not fun if one person opens everything and the other is stuck somewhere and doesn't get to experience it, ya know?

As for the price: it changes by the room. But it's the "per person" price on their website and you would pay Escaparium directly before the escape room, not me.

If anyone is interested or have any questions, please just reply here or send me a Chat and we can discuss it more. Thanks!

I was playing Shifting Memory of Ages. It was my 3rd time trying to play it that day (the previous two attempts were quick losses). I figured the best opening was to take the 9 energy, I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

So I began with placing a presence and getting 2 energy. Then on my 2nd turn, I placed a presence and grabbed a major power.

Bargain of Coursing Paths.

There were better major powers that solved immediate problems. But I was tired of getting stuck on my presence track and BoCP solved that problem by letting me pay the cost from my presence track instead. And the -1 energy a turn didn't seem that bad when I can just take 9 energy at any time, ya know? And the effect? This seems really, really cool. Especially on turn 2 when we still actually have Dahan on the island. So I took it. Hey - power I've never used before that looks really fun. Cool!

I don't remember when my next major power pull was (turn 3? turn 4?), but I once again found myself deciding between "this helps now" and "this looks really, really cool and I think this is going to synergize really well with my other major power". So I went for the latter.

Weave Together the Fabric of Place.

Holy hell. Yes, yes it did synergize well with BoCP. They were the only 2 powers I picked up the whole game. By the end of it, I had 8 of the 16 spots on the island marked with BoCP and I was using Weave to just move anything and everything to any spot on the island.

I was using Weave to combine two lands so that I could mark them with BoCP. I was also using Weave to combine a land that was already marked with one that wasn't (but it had enemies) so that when the effect expired, I could just move anything I wanted from those 2 territories into any territory on the island. The amount of control I had over the entire island was just hilarious. The invaders could do nothing.

It was easily the most fun I've ever had playing this game. I can only imagine how silly it would have been if Ocean had been in play. heh.

What's the most fun and interesting combo you guys have stumbled upon?

Hey guys - I'll be doing a 3p game about 9 hours from now. I am setting the board up right now so that when my friend arrives we can jump straight in. We will be playing against England 3 or 4 depending on how spunky we are feeling.

So, whatever the top comment is, I'll play that spirit. I have not played most spirits.

If you want to be nice, I find that I have a preference for support or offense.

I own all content, including Horizons.

So what'll it be?

I played this game many years ago. Long enough that I don't remember anything except a vague feeling of liking it well enough. It wasn't my favorite, but it was a fun time. I liked it well enough that I looked into buying it but it was priced higher than I wanted to pay.

Well, now things have changed. I'm introducing some new people to board games and they are big into d&d and Pathfinder. And lo and behold, someone is selling Pathfinder Card Game locally. It seems like this would be the perfect opportunity to make the purchase.

Except... I remember pretty much nothing about the game. Please help! It's not the rules that I care about, but rather the "holy crap, there is so much stuff" aspect.

Would someone please break this down and explain it to me like I'm 5? I think there are 4 base sets. Each base set has expansions. Going off memory, the expansions are pretty much mandatory. What would be a good price for each base set with expansions? And I think there are hero packs, too? How difficult is it to find this stuff nowadays? If I get to choose between all of them, which order should I prioritize getting them?

Basically, I remember the game was pretty fun and that's it. And I would like to know more about it before making any purchases. And my Google-fu has failed me, thanks to my Internet not working on my PC at the moment.

Thanks in advance!
