Other Games / Infiltration - By Donald X

« on: May 08, 2012, 06:01:37 pm »

Anybody have a chance to look at the rules for Donald X's new game Infiltration being published by Fantasy Flight Games?
(The rules for reference http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=3262)

Its a press your luck game but it seems to have a fair amount of strategy if you use some of the advanced rules mentioned at the end of the instructions.

Seems like a pretty neat game I'll probably be giving a try, just wondering how many of you knew about it and what you guys think about it

Dominion Isotropic / Huge gaping bug that prevents time out

« on: May 01, 2012, 02:54:56 am »

So I was playing this game tonight against some person on isotropic. And on his turn 22 in a game I was winning he started mouthing off and stopped taking his turns. The problem is even though he didn't take his turn him talking allowed him to reboot his 3 minute timer. It doesn't seem to be linked to his talking now either as he has actually stopped talking. He was super rude and this probably has to do with a few threads that have been started before but my main issue is that the hole is one that shouldn't be there.

Help! / The engine that could(n't)

« on: April 24, 2012, 03:13:29 am »

So I have two games here where I genuinely felt like I had the right strategy for the board and somehow ended up on the losing end of the battle. I'm just wondering if there is anything glaringly obvious in either where I make a purchase mistake or maybe my strategy was wrong all thoughts appreciated.

Game 1
Log: http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201204/23/game-20120423-230637-242f2e3a.html

Surveying the board I don't really like too much of it so I decide to go a little shanty town smithy with some money backup to get an expand. Then draw most of my deck play an expand for a better VP (Grab a duchy or a province ideally) and buy a province.

My initial thoughts looking on this log was that maybe I undervalued salvager?

Game 2

Here I play Standard Double Tac+Black Market engine with one wharf while he plays Alchemists and one wharf. The game ends on my turn 14 (I went second) with me 2 points behind from a duchy purchase on his turn 13. (I bought an estate on the last turn because I couldn't afford province duchy and had previously whiffed tactician so my hand was smaller than normal). This game more so than the first I can't see anything I did glaringly wrong. Were my black market purchases no good (torturer for draw, highway for cost reduction/cantrip). Was it because I had second player disadvantage? Was it bad draws?

Note all constructive criticism is greatly welcomed. Thanks in advance for the advice and your time.

Rules Questions / Haggler+Black Market

« on: March 06, 2012, 09:27:46 pm »

If I play a black market with with two hagglers in play and I flip a card costing 5 and two cards costing 4 if I buy the card from the black market costing 5 CAN I gain the cards costing 4? IE Does black market fully resolve or does haggler interrupt. Thanks in advance!

Edit: The 2 cards costing 4 I'm wanting to gain are from the black market
