What rhymes with ‘wish’? Have you thought of the same word as the other players? Or maybe you got really lucky and thought of the same word as only one other player.

The combined Play Stats will give an overview of stats of filtered plays, a perfect recap for a gaming weekend or series of plays.
If you have imported plays from BoardGameArena or Yucata previously, using the already created “Digital” play tag helps to view your stats just the way you want.
Use Play Tagging to:
Add any number of tags to your plays
Filter on Play tags throughout the app
View combined Play Stats
Use a “Digital” tag to filter online plays

Example Play Stats
You can read all about Play tagging on our Tagging page. Tagging is part of the Power expansion.
Tip: “Digital” tag
You can add the “Digital” tag to any play you want, but you can also add the tag to previous plays with Multiple Select. As an example, if you logged some plays on the location “Watergate app“:
Go to the “Watergate app” Location
Tap ‘Select‘ at the top of the screen (this is the word ‘Select’ on iOS and lines with a checkmark on Android)
Tap ‘All‘ at the bottom of the screen (or only select the plays you want to tag)
You supply the ink. The soldiers supply the blood.

Origin stories are the worst. This is coming from a cretin who ingests superhero content via cinema as opposed to paper. I don’t want to see Thomas and Martha Wayne murdered by a low life, again. We’ve had 10 Spider-Mans in the past couple decades; I’ve already rode that ride. I would much rather watch…
The character was first introduced by no other than Stan Lee and artist Gene Colins in Captain America 117 back in Sept 1969. Otherwise known as Samuael Thomas Wilson. Facon has mechanical wings which he uses to swoop in and help save the day. He is also an expert bird trainer with basic empathic and technopathic abilities over birds in the comics and is the Uncle of Jim Wilson friend of the Hulk’s and who was the first notable HIV positive character, who’s father would go on to join the Gama Corp. The Falcon was always a strong character who was always ready to help those who need it. With his tech, ability to fly with Tech and his excellent fighting abilities he is quite a strong character despite his having no super powers.
In the game his unique ability is being able to manipulate the top card of the encounter deck allowing players to plan ahead and make strategic choices. His “Eagle-Eyed” ability, combined with his “aerial” cards, gives him strong defensive and offensive capabilities, especially in a multiplayer setting, whihc means he is an adaptable and excellent control-focused hero. This is a strong Leadership deck with synergies built around aerial cards, as you would expect, as well as other valuable cards that can be used with other heroes.
Falcon is an all round character who doesn’t specialise in one area so is good to fill holes in your roster especially with a smaller team roster, but lacks a specialism to excel in a bigger team of heroes.
Now this may sound a bit basic. Of course you want advantages! Yet when you’re planning what to do with your investment tile, you might often be tempted by other things – shiny prestige spaces, or simply spaces with a lower cost which help you gain the majority in the region. Advantages, however, are often the better choice: A well-chosen advantage can gain you another space (or deny it to your opponent) not only once, but several times over the course of a game. If your opponent is smart, they will often try to counteract your gaining of an advantage by unflagging the space which gave you the advantage, or at least gaining a similar advantage, which means you are acting and they are reacting.
France and Britain are fighting hard for the two spaces adjacent to the Baltic Trade advantage. You can see on the French player mat in the background that France has gained the Algonquin Raids and Mediterranean Intrigue advantages.
Some of my favorite advantages: The Indian alliances with Mysore, Nizam, or the Marathas which allow you to drown your opponent in a sea of conflict markers, the Asiento advantage whose discount on fleets gains you a cheap military edge – and spaces – which can be flexibly moved around, and, best of all, Baltic Trade whose debt reduction amounts to two free wild points every turn. Get it or at least deny it to your opponent!
Board Position First, VPs Second
Advantages are long-term benefits. In the same spirit, I advise you to prioritize the long-term benefits of a sound board position over the short-term gains of winning this regional or that global demand scoring. If your board position is good – if you have the right alliances, military outposts, and advantages – you will put pressure on your opponent, win wars, gain spoils, and the VPs will come rolling in anyway.
Both players have done their homework and placed a flag on a fort (hexagonal spaces) in North America – Britain in Halifax, France in Louisbourg.
A key investment in that sense is a turn 1 fort in North America. That’s the only theater which is active in all four wars, so the fort will give you a military benefit four times (a strength point and the conquest line) in addition to controlling its surroundings (which makes unflagging harder and removing enemy conflict markers easier), and, of course, it’s a space which counts for regional scoring.
Use Initiative Wisely
If your opponent scores a few more VPs than you early on, that is not only bearable, but might even be to your advantage, as the player behind in VPs has the initiative and decides who goes first in a turn. That’s a weighty decision, as going first gives you a better choice of the investment tiles, but going last allows you to mess with your opponent’s plans and they have no chance to repair the damage before scoring.
If this were the first turn – would you choose to go first or second as the player with initiative?
My rule of thumb is: I go last, unless there’s an odd number of investment tiles with a major action in the dimension that will be crucial (early on, that’s often diplomatic), or an odd-and-low number of investment tiles that allow you to play an event.

Season Three of Blood Bowl is kicking off!
I made a lot of videos for Games Workshop last year, but unfortunately this year they’ve seen fit to not send me a single thing up to this point this year. So it was nice to see Blood Bowl: Season Three land on the doorstep. This is a very nice new edition with two great new teams, some slight tweaks to the rules, and some very useful new status counters. Watch the video for a full rundown – and check out the painted miniatures!

The Power expansion combines the previous two expansions: Deep Stats and Tagging into one.
This gives us the ability to create new features that use parts of both these older expansions. A new feature like this will come to the app soon!
What will happen for you?
If you already own the Deep Stats and/or Tagging expansion, you will automatically get the Power expansion, including all features. This can only add options, nothing will be removed.
Gladly this is it’s own version of 7 Wonders with the right feel but with Dice to kick it all off. Each player has a map where they can build their Wonder, each of which has a few differences to their playability. You play for victory points as you build your wonder. You also have a pencil and eraser to help keep your playable dice scores etc. You all start with seven coins and will use them to make up any shortfalls during your game and when the dice are revealed during each round they may have a cost for their use. You start with seven dice in the shaker dice box and as you play, the players change three of them, the grey ones with the wood, stone etc on them are swapped for the black, purple and white dice, so don’t wait around or you are really stuffed with your choice. As you use the dice they stay in play as another player may use them as well. the ability to play Seven Wonders in this way is an eye opener, as it does have a different feel and play to both Seven Wonders proper and Duel,
There are two ways to look at Kingdoms Forlorn: Dragons, Devils and Kings. You can either view this unbelievably massive box as a vast world waiting to be explored and conquered, one of untold treasures and tragic stories. Or it can be seen as a crushing boulder whose massive weight embodies headache, labor, and anxiety.…
