Sticking With Star Realms!

What's going on everyone!?

Today for the #2019gameaday challenge I decided to redownload the Star Realms app and give it a shot since it's been a year or so since I last played it.

Even after so long away from the app. I'm reminded of the beginning versions that were in my opinion, superior to the newer version. 

The reason being that while the now version looks nice and has some awesome features, I felt that they could have left the background normal and not tried to make it require so much memory to run the game.

But anyway, I dont want to stray too far off path here, lol. The game is as amazing as the first time I played it and man do I love it!

Surprisingly even after so much time away I was able to jump right back in and even scored a win for myself! 

As always, thank you for reading and don't forget to stop and smell the meeples! :)

Eye On Kickstarter #80

Welcome to my Eye on Kickstarter series!  This series will highlight Kickstarter campaigns I am following that have recently launched (or I've recently discovered) because they have caught my interest.  Usually they'll catch my interest because they look like great games that I have either backed or would like to back (unfortunately budget doesn't allow me to back everything I'd like to).  But occasionally the campaigns caught my attention for other reasons.  Twice a month, on the 2nd and 4th Fridays, I'll make a new post in this series, highlighting the campaigns that have caught my attention since the last post.  In each post I'll highlight one campaign that has really grabbed my attention, followed by other campaigns I've backed or am interested in.  I'll also include links to any related reviews or interviews I've done.  Comments are welcome, as are suggestions for new campaigns to check out!

You can also see my full Kickstarter Profile to see what I've backed or my old Eye on Kickstarter page that was too unwieldy to maintain.  Also, check out the 2019 Kickstarter Boardgame Projects geeklist over on Board Game Geek for a list of all the tabletop games of the year.

So, without further ado, here are the projects I'm currently watching as of the fourth Friday of January, 2020:

HIGHLIGHTED CAMPAIGN
School of Sorcery
by Dr. Finn's Games - 2 DAYS LEFT!

• Steve Finn has a reputation for designing amazing filler games, and, having played a number of them, I have to say the reputation is well deserved. His games are always fast, light, engaging, and interesting. School of Sorcery is his latest Kickstarter for an update to an older game of his (2015's Institute for Magical Arts) with new artwork and refined mechanics. Go ahead and grab this, I'm sure you won't be disappointed! And hurry, this was a 2 week campaign, so there's only a few hours left!

Collect magical items and build friendships to increase your influence at the School of Sorcery. This quick-paced strategic game for 2 players is a newly revised and updated version of Dr Finn's popular Institute for Magical Arts, successfully Kickstarted in 2015.

During the game, players compete to win magical items and characters at different locations. Each round has 5 Phases:
PHASE I: Collect Crystals - Collect 5 crystals
PHASE II: Cast Crystals - Using your dice roll, send crystals to desired locations
PHASE III: Use Portal - Using the portal, secretly send crystals to a new location
PHASE IV: Activate Powers - Activate the powers of your permanent cards
PHASE V: Evaluate Locations - Award sorcery cards at the locations

Features:
Simultaneous Decision-Making: Little downtime
Dice Mitigation: Multiple options for every dice roll
Unique Card Powers: Increases replayability
Fantastic Art and Colorful Graphics: nice to look at
Quality Components: shiny gems, punchboard player boards and locations, wooden tokens, high quality cardstock

Pacific Rails
by Vesuvius Media

• Pacific Rails is a train game with a theme that I really find interesting. It's about the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, which I also coincidentally made a game about (see The Overland Route), though it's just a small 2-player, 18-card game. Pacific Rails looks like a fun, historical tile game and I'd love to give it a try someday.

Return to Dark Tower
by Restoration Games

• Restoration Games has been breathing new life into classic games from decades ago. Last year's hit for them was a reboot of Fireball Island and now they're back with a completely reworked and modernized version of the classic Dark Tower. In this new iteration they've improved the gameplay, updated the art and graphics, blended the physical gameplay with an innovative app, and engineered an amazing tower that actually works in conjunction with the app via bluetooth. I just wish it wasn't so darn expensive! Still probably cheaper than getting your hands on a good copy of the original though...

Jurassic Parts
by 25th Century Games

• I love puzzle and area control games and Jurassic Parts looks like a great one. Not because of the dinosaur theme, which is great, but because of the interesting area control puzzle aspect of it. As you use chisels to section off pieces of map you'll get rewarded based on how much you helped with sectioning off the map. The more you help the more fossils you'll get, so there's a really interesting area control battle along with a puzzle as you try to figure out how to best section out the play area so you can build the most complete skeletons.

Migration Mars
by Enhance Games

• I've mentioned before that I'm a sucker for a great space themed game, especially with roots in actual science. Migration Mars is about the race to build a sustainable human colony on Mars and it looks incredible. From the amazing buildings to the clean graphics, this is a game I'd love to get to the table.

Citadel Deck Block
by Quiver Time

• Back in 2016 I reviewed the Quiver Gaming Case and thought it was outstanding. I still use it to this day to store and carry my Star Realms, Epic, and some other card games. Now the team is back with a deck box that is just as, or maybe even more incredible. The quality on Quiver Time's products is amazing and the engineering that has gone into the Citadel has resulted in an ingenious product. If you're looking for a high quality deck box, here's your answer!

Buds, Blooms, And Thorns Review Of Robotech: Force Of Arms By SolarFlare Games

Buds, Blooms, and Thorns Review of Robotech: Force of Arms by SolarFlare Games
DisclaimerSupport me on Patreon!

Vitals:
Title: Robotech: Force of Arms
Designed by: Dave Killingsworth
Publisher: SolarFlare Games
MSRP: $20
2p | 20-40 min | 8+

Introduction:

Take on the role of either the brave Robotech Defense Forces (RDF) or the warrior Zentraedi.

You and your opponent maneuver your warships and deploy your forces endeavoring to gain supremacy. With fearless heroes and commands, you can turn the tide of the battle in your favor.

Will you defend the Earth as the valiant RDF? Or will you attempt to destroy the Earth, capture the SDF-1, and recover the secrets of Protoculture as the giant Zentraedi?

Objective:
Players are trying to destroy their opponent's ships while also successfully defending their own ships in this sector of space. Players take turns tactically moving ships around. Strategically placing their attack and defense fighter cards to defend their own ships and destroy those of their enemy and using their hero and command cards to win the day. The player with the most combined points in defended and successfully destroyed ships wins.

Winning:
Once the players have finished the Tactical, Token, and Command/Hero phases they tally up the victory points for their Fleet Ships they were able to successfully defend. They then add the victory points for the enemy ships they were able to successfully destroy. The player with the most points wins!

—description from the publisher

Blooms:
Blooms are the game's highlights and features.  Elements that are exceptional.

• Interesting use of a mechanic that I first encountered in Archmage: Origins, by the same designer.  This game does it better.
• If you like bluffing and deduction, this game has it in spades, all without any actual luck.
• Interesting style of area control where units placed around the edges of the grid affect the power over multiple spaces in the grid.

Buds:
Buds are interesting parts of the game I would like to explore more. 

• I've found that the more you play this, especially against the same player, the more you start to notice patterns.  
• There's a very strong aspect of deduction and bluffing, so you really have to pay attention if you want to feel any sense of control.
• If you like the Robotech theme, you'll enjoy the characters and ships.

Thorns:
Thorns are a game's shortcomings and any issues I feel are noteworthy.

• There are two main phases to the game with some intermediate steps, too.  This can be a bit fiddly.
• Your first few plays will feel like you're just placing cards without having any strategy.  It takes several plays, preferably against the same player(s) before you start to develop a sense of strategy.
• The component quality and artwork is acceptable, but nothing exceptional.
• A few rules are confusing when you read through them, but start to make sense after you play.

Final Thoughts:

I have no experience with Robotech, so the theme wasn't a draw for me, but I still found the theme of the game understandable.  In the past I played Archmage: Origins, by the same designer and publisher, which used similar mechanics.  Robotech: Force of Arms uses those mechanics in a much more refined way.  Archmage: Origins felt chaotic and random, but Robotech: Force of Arms feels more deliberate and secretive.  There's just enough information for you to make deductive decisions and manipulate the board to (hopefully) your benefit.  It feels very much like a battle of wits.  There is a bit of a steep learning curve though, not because the game itself is very difficult, but because the effects of your choices and how to use the available information to deduce what your opponent is trying to do only becomes apparent as you gain more experience with the game.  This game won't appeal to everyone, especially if you don't like deduction and bluffing in such a confrontational way.  However, if you do like that type of head-to-head jockeying for position and mental manipulation, this may be a game you enjoy.  It plays fast and is fairly easy once you have a few plays to gain experience with the flow.  And if you're a fan of Robotech, this is a game you'll be happy to add to your collection.

Buds, Blooms, and Thorns Rating:

Bud!  This game definitely has some
great moments.  It's good for several plays
and should appeal to most gamers, especially
if you enjoy other games like this.

Brave Browser voted the best privacy-focused product of 2020

Out of all the privacy-focused products and apps available on the market, Brave has been voted the best. Other winners of Product Hunt's Golden Kitty awards showed that there was a huge interest in privacy-enhancing products and apps such as chats, maps, and other collaboration tools.

An extremely productive year for Brave

Last year has been a pivotal one for the crypto industry, but few companies managed to see the kind of success Brave did. Almost every day of the year has been packed witch action, as the company managed to officially launch its browser, get its Basic Attention Token out, and onboard hundreds of thousands of verified publishers on its rewards platform.

Luckily, the effort Brave has been putting into its product hasn't gone unnoticed.

The company's revolutionary browser has been voted the best privacy-focused product of 2019, for which it received a Golden Kitty award. The awards, hosted by Product Hunt, were given to the most popular products across 23 different product categories.

Ryan Hoover, the founder of Product Hunt said:

"Our annual Golden Kitty awards celebrate all the great products that makers have launched throughout the year"

Brave's win is important for the company—with this year seeing the most user votes ever, it's a clear indicator of the browser's rapidly rising popularity.

Privacy and blockchain are the strongest forces in tech right now

If reaching 10 million monthly active users in December was Brave's crown achievement, then the Product Hunt award was the cherry on top.

The recognition Brave got from Product Hunt users shows that a market for privacy-focused apps is thriving. All of the apps and products that got a Golden Kitty award from Product Hunt users focused heavily on data protection. Everything from automatic investment apps and remote collaboration tools to smart home products emphasized their privacy.

AI and machine learning rose as another note-worthy trend, but blockchain seemed to be the most dominating force in app development. Blockchain-based messaging apps and maps were hugely popular with Product Hunt users, who seem to value innovation and security.

For those users, Brave is a perfect platform. The company's research and development team has recently debuted its privacy-preserving distributed VPN, which could potentially bring even more security to the user than its already existing Tor extension.

Brave's effort to revolutionize the advertising industry has also been recognized by some of the biggest names in publishing—major publications such as The Washington Post, The Guardian, NDTV, NPR, and Qz have all joined the platform. Some of the highest-ranking websites in the world, including Wikipedia, WikiHow, Vimeo, Internet Archive, and DuckDuckGo, are also among Brave's 390,000 verified publishers.
