Ok, makes sense then. Live and drink, friend.


It’s a great game and all, but… is it just me or is it a bit harder than would be expected? I would consider myself to be pretty decent at the genre, but I will usually die a stupid death on something not previously encountered while exploring, and since it takes a while to reach that stage again, I’ll usually put it aside for a while and do something else.
Is it just me?


Well you can highlight text to search for, instead of typing, but still I wouldn’t really recommend it for the deck I guess. Maybe with the trackpads simulating a mouse, but I haven’t tried it to see how it feels. I played it on a pc proper.


If you liked Obra Dinn, I really like The Roottrees are Dead which was very similar but kind of different.

Try the roottrees are dead.


Nah, Dota runs natively on Linux. And no other MOBAs exist, amiright.
And even notifications they don’t want to know about for free!


Well I wouldn’t liken StS to card games like MTG. In MTG you build a deck with any cards you want/have, rather than whatever opportunities present to you. Maybe you could argue about drafting, but it a little bit of a stretch.
Also the competitive nature of MTG is entirely different to the likes of StS.
So yeah, I would pick Dominion. I also like later games built with some similar ideas, like Mage Knight for example, although this one again has a different approach maybe, but at it’s heart is also a deck builder.


I guess you are referring to the likes of Dominion and so?


I got it from a local game shop.
The main difference of the board game is that it is coop. So while the single player experience is pretty faithful to the video game and well made, the multiplayer experience is the actual meat of it, and it is a lot of fun. Give it a try if you can.


Eh. To be honest, still playing Downfall. It’s got me pretty covered as far as StS goes. I cannot imagine much more from sts2, although I’d be happy to be surprised.
Also the boardgame rules.
I would just make a partition to install Linux on, keep the windows partition (resize first as needed) and then create a raw disk vmdk image to run windows from the real partition instead of a virtual drive.
Pretty easy and you can continue to dual boot whenever needed.
