7 Wonders (8/8) | Game 3 over!

[lilith2013]

Hope you all enjoyed playing! As always, I'm open to feedback for how to improve the experience for yall.

Also now taking ins for Game 3.

[CreativeMod1]

/In for game 3!!!

/in game 3

/in to defeat radiant cowbells.

Also given that there's a few people who are inning who didn't play last game, I'm happy to sit out if we have too many players

Also if we have the numbers we could do up to 8 players (with 1 of the expansions)

[lilith2013]

reminder that you can choose to turn on help mode, in which I will explain which cards you can and can't buy from each hand you receive.

ggwp everyone.

/in game 3. Happy to sitout for people who were not in the last game.

Suggestion: can we do a draft pick so that we can decide which wonder we want, instead of it being random?
Like I said earlier, Leaders' expansion makes the game less fun, would prefer playing without it. Just cities expansion this time?

[CreativeMod1]

Cities is a good expansion

My vote would be: Do Cities this round and then do a mix of both Cities and Leaders the following round

I like the idea of drafting Wonders, I think the order in which we pick should go: New players First and then from last place to first place of players in last round

The passive ability on Xtoxm's civilization seemed like an unfair benefit for players who happened to neighbor him.

ftr he chose that side. The passive on the other side of his board only benefited him.

[Isis]

i chose the side that would give 2 coins to him also ^^

I was thinking we could just do the draft like they do in PYP games. Everyone sends a number to the mod, the ascending order decides the draft order.

[Xtoxm]

Congrats Isis!!!!!

i do think its weird how rome does this
even compared to itself, the other side of rome has no neighbor benefit
the other non-resource wonder (mannekin pis) has no neighbor benefit on either side

[lilith2013]

Are we going back to just the original boards then?

I’m fine with drafting if everyone agrees to it; however, I know Wooper has never played before so to offset the disadvantage he would get if we draft, I’d like to give him advice on what to draft when the draft gets to him (and same goes for anyone else who has never played - not sure if RC is new to 7 wonders). Also - keep in mind that drafting will take several days as I go through the list one by one.

[Xtoxm]

my first instinct is that its silly and it should be random
i wouldnt mind being silly for 1 game tho
i dont think they should be passed in seating order though, cus then the player with the "best" wonder sits next to the player with the "worst" one
not all the wonders are perfectly balanced, some have better win rates over large samples
would it just be > throw all the wonders into one hand, pass them round, the first 7 picks get used?

[lilith2013]

would it just be > throw all the wonders into one hand, pass them round, the first 7 picks get used?

Yeah that’d be my plan. And the order of passing gets determined by draft #s?

Btw are you in for this game? I don’t think I saw an /in from you

[Xtoxm]

i can be in i also dont mind if new people want to play tho
i dont understand what means a draft #? cant you just pick a random order to pass them in

[lilith2013]

Uh... I guess draft #s give some sense of agency?

[Wooper]

I think I'd learn more via the draft bein a thing even if I'm disadvantaged slightly o:

I'd also appreciate if someone old and wise could give me a quick pointer in it tho

[lilith2013]

I would give advice to anyone who asks for it during the drafting phase (like actual advice, not just mechanical)

[Farren]

/in. Played the base game once or twice a long time ago.
