„Powrót do Hero Realms - solo” Hero Realms uwielbiam, za klimat fantasy, za combowanie kart, za to, że łatwo się jej nauczyć, ale osiągnięcie mistrzostwa wymaga wprawy. Małe dodatki jak: talie klas, czy bossów od razy znalazły się w mojej kolekcji, tak bardzo lubię tę grę. Ale potem, no cóż były inne deckbuildery, inne gry pojedynkowe, inne wyzwania. Gra pokryła się kurzem, ale dzięki uprzejmości IUVI Games wróciłem do tego świata, choć tym razem solo. A to za sprawą kooperacyjnego dodatku „Ruiny Thandaru”. A za graniem solo nie przepadam, a raczej nie przepadałem.

In what is essentially part 2 of the PaxU experience, this episode features Tuff taking center stage to share his experiences at the con, where he participated in both the Star Realms and Hero Realms Legends tournaments. The crew first dives into the Star Realms event, where a controversial ruling against Tuff created some unexpected turbulence. This sparks a larger conversation about shuffling techniques and the nuances of playing in paper. But the story doesn't end there! The Hero Realms tournament the following day offered a shot at redemption. With immaculate shuffling and sharp gameplay, Tuff fought his way to an impressive second-place finish.

Začalo to Dominionem - a kde to dneska končí? Mechanika deckbuildingu se v moderních deskových hrách objevuje čím dál tím častěji a ve spoustě různých variací. Udržet si přehled je někdy složité - i proto si Lumír, Eklp a Zet museli pro tento díl nakreslit celou myšlenkovou mapu i s technologickým stromem! Společně začneme u Dominionu a budeme pokračovat po hrách, které k deckbuildingu vždy přidaly něco navíc. Zmíníme Hero Realms i Ascension, Arnak i Břink, Ve Stínu Pyramid i Duchy Ostrova. Kam až se dostaneme? Jaké deckbuildingy mají inkvizitoři nejraději? A ti nejlepší posluchači budou mít možnost i něco vyhrát!  Odpovědi posílejte na Discord, Youtube nebo naší FB stránce: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deskoherniinkvizice/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deskoherniinkvizice/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe_zS_5dUESy11yHo6mArtA Discord: https://discord.gg/jQwDqzp  Music: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music

The premier community event in all of Realms Rising is the Tavern Brawl and in this episode of Sparks and Recreation, the crew reviews a recent IRL Tavern Brawl event while also previewing the upcoming digital Tavern Brawl. Filtrophobe and DblDubz are joined by Tuff and BirdLaw to break it all down including the lore, formats, and even strategy surrounding team composition under the new rules. They also give some early thoughts on level 22 Arena testing and the most recent Alchemist changes. Be sure to stick around for the Community Round-up where Across the Realms is discussed. Note: In the show, it was said that all three core sets of Star Realms are required to participate in Across the Realms. We'd like to make the correction that the minimum requirement is the Vanilla core set of Star Realms.

La construcción de mazos es una mecánica y un género relativamente nuevos. Apareció por primera vez en Dominion, de 2008, y sus continuaciones han imitado a menudo las estructuras básicas de Dominion. La idea básica es que las cartas pueden proporcionar acciones, moneda para usar sólo en el turno actual o puntos de victoria. En el Dominion básico, casi todas las cartas proporcionan sólo uno de estos usos, pero muchos creadores de mazos posteriores las combinaron y ofrecieron a los jugadores la posibilidad de elegir cómo usar cada carta. Algunos juegos también se han expandido más allá de estos límites, como las bases que persisten en los tableros de los jugadores hasta que son destruidas en Star Realms.00:00:00 - Inicio00:01:51 - Preview del Campamento Barton 202400:14:08 - Origen de los juegos de construcción de mazos00:18:56 - Juegos de Construcción de mazo o deckbuilding01:37:32 - Nuestras recomendaciones de juegos de construcción de mazos o deckbuilding01:49:42 - AlteredJuegos que se nombran en este episodio:- Arctic Scavengers (2009)- Thunderstone (2009) Dragones y Mazmorras- Tanto Cuore (2009)- Puzzle Strike (2010)- Ascension: Deckbuilding Game (2010) introdujo el draft en el Deskbuilding- Barbarossa (2010)- Quarriors (2011) no deja de ser un derivado de dados- Friday (2011)- Blood Bowl Team Manager (2011)- Rune Age (2011)- Mage Knight Board Game (2011)- Core Worlds (2011)- A Few Acres of Snow (2011)- Eminent Domain (2011)- Nightfall (2011)- Copycat (2012)- Trains (2012)- Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game (2012)- Lewis & Clark (2013)- Rococo (2013)- A Study in emerald (2013)- Concordia (2013)- Asgard's Choosen (2013)- Star Realms (2014)- Valley of the Kings (2014)- Roll for the Galaxy (2014)- Hyperborea (2014)- Mythotopia (2014)- Baseball Highlihts (2015)- Hero Realms (2016)- Hands in the Sea (2016)- Aeon's End (2016)- Tyrants of the Underdark (2016)- Clank (2016)- Great Western Trail (2016)- Millenium Blades (2016)- Mystic Vale(2016)- Flamme Rouge (2016)- The Quest for el Dorado (2017)- Too many Bones (2017)- Harry Potter Howards Battle (2017)- Time of Crisis (2017)- After the virus (2017)- The Path of Light and Shadow (2018)- Pócimas y Brebajes (2018)- Obsesión (2018)- War Chest (2018)- Tainted Grail (2019)- Undaunted Normandy (2019)- Lost Ruins of Arnak (2020)- Dune Imperium (2020)- Cubitos (2021)- Rocketmen (2021)- Heat (2022)- Star Wars the Deck Building Game (2023)Enlaces:Canal de anuncios de Telegram: https://t.me/visludicaGrupo de Telegram: https://t.me/visludicaarmyPara escucharnos en audio: https://visludica.com
