I introduced my SO to Blood Rage in a 2 player game. She hated it and refuses to play it again. 0/10 would not recommend.

I really liked the theme and design. I was also looking for something competitive not cooperative. The issue seems to be how most of people say that the game doesn't really work for 2 players that well. I was mainly looking to play with my girlfriend so that's a bummer. Can anyone recommend something similar? I'm new to the scene so I'm a little overwhelmed with the amount of titles i see.

Humble Bundle on Steam boardgames. Blood Rage, Pandemic, Terraforming Mars and more

Three game rounds, or Ages, guide the course of play, and players will control their clans by winning battles, gaining resources from the land, and completing quests. You spend Rage to perform actions on the board. And that is one of several stats that you need to increase to improve your clan and increase your capabilities each turn. Rage empowers action, but Horns enable larger pools of warriors and Glory is essential for victory at the end of the game

 I had to add a card in order to see who won, and I couldn’t.Okay, I’ll exit to the main menu. But I couldn’t. There is no option to exit

 It’s about coming out on top of every encounter with the most resources and rewards gained.So it’s not that different from the tabletop.What’s different—and what’s special—is the features that are typically introduced with a digital adaptation of a board game. Solo play against AI opponents

BLOOD RAGE: DIGITAL EDITION Review: A Tabletop Giant Trips Over Its Own Digital Feet — GameTyrant

Do you own any games that you love playing but can rarely get them to the table because you cant find enough people to play with?

I love Eclipse new dawn for the galaxy. At the right player count its one of my favourite games.  Only a few of my friends are willing to play because it can be complex for someone not used to heavier games. 

I play two player a bit and its fine with rise of the ancients but far better at a higher player count.

A game you love but cant find enough people to play it with

 This tutorial tries hard to teach the game in a step by step manner, but it chooses to introduce concepts in a non-straightforward path. For example, one of the first topics the tutorial goes through is invading and then pillaging.

During the second phase, players will take actions, turn by turn, until they pass. Some of these actions require Rage points which are provided by a player clan’s Rage ability score. Actions range from playing units to the board, moving them, upgrading them, or fighting other players (pillage).

de. The question always comes down to the overall experience and whether the digital version captures the same engagement and ease of play as the original.

 There are a million ways to teach a game, but in this reviewer’s opinion, the tutorial could be better. That’s not a huge negative because, after a few turns, new players should be able to pick it up. Even with the high level of interactivity in the game, it feels like more could have been done to improve the user experience on some elements of the presentation. Overall, it still gets high marks but feels like it’s just shy of a perfect experience

Blood Rage Digital Edition Review

I’ve played Viticulture to death. It was my number one game for several years without a doubt. Loved it. But. All good things come to an end. What game have you played to the point of….I’m done.

What game have you played to death?

There's another post about playing a game to death and after replying I realized I had misread the question. Rather than answer his questions I answered with:

What game have you played a ton and show no signs of stopping playing.

For me, these 3 games stand out

Through the ages: A new story of civilization, the App really allowed me to go deep on this game. I always have 3 games ongoing for this with various friends and we are showing no signs of stopping. BG stats says I'm at 157 plays of it.

Ticket to Ride. For me and my wife this was the game that really got us into the hobby, played it to death, then stopped playing as we got into other games but this has recently resurfaced as my kids got old enough to play the non-kids versions, been playing alot of Nordic and loving it, but my son has been requesting Europe and I am even considering grabbing a new map or two which I think is amazing after all these years/plays that it's still feels worry further investment

Castles of Burgundy, replaced ticket to Ride as my go-to game to play with my wife on a work night. We are always down for a game of this, I'd say we are in the process of playing this to death

What games of yours fit? Do you have any all time favorites that you can enjoy pulling out for a game despite having 'played it almost to death'

What games have you played a ton of and show no signs of stopping

Doing well in Blood Rage isn’t about minute-to-minute clever plays. It’s about drafting cards that come together to create a plan, and then playing cards in the order that squeezes the most points out of them. But doing all this planning means you need to predict your friends, too, which in turn means you have to know what cards are out there. Problem is, every card in Blood Rage’s three decks are different

Actually talking about the game nowThe gory game of Blood Rage is divided into three ages, but each one begins with a vitally important round of “card drafting”. This is where each player is dealt a hand of cards, each of you simultaneously chooses a card to keep, passes the hand clockwise and then chooses again, until all the cards are gone.At this point you’ll have a custom-built hand of cards that you’ll be very excited about, but equally full of dread for what your opponents drafted. So you’re excited! But nervous

 If someone plays their quest cards right and snags the “double VPs for quests” card in the final act they can make everything anyone earned in the previous two acts look like loose change. And obviously, knowing the kind of combat cards floating around each round is vitally important when it comes to committing your forces. If your entire plan hinges on pillaging Yggdrasil, you’d better know you can win.At times, cards are so powerful and there’s so little opportunity to be clever on the board that Blood Rage feels like an area control card game where the tokens and board have been injected with human growth hormone

But excited.The Age proper sees players taking turns to spend their precious Rage resource influencing the board, making Blood Rage a literal game of anger management.You can pay Rage to have miniatures arrive on the board, pay Rage to move them around, pay Rage to upgrade your clan with cards you drafted (including heroes and monsters), or you can spend your turn playing quests you’ve drafted and are now officially trying to fulfill, but at some point someone’s going to stop all this maneuvering and declare they’re PILLAGING SOMEWHERE. The manual doesn’t say you should slap the table when you announce this, but you absolutely should

Review: Blood Rage - Shut Up & Sit Down

This is a genre I feel I haven't explored yet, and would love to get a feel what the community enjoys to help me make choose my next game base on your experiences. Which area control or dudes on a map is your favorite, and why do you enjoy it?

The three games I'm currently am considering is **Blood Rage**, **Ankh: Gods of Egypt** and **Inis**. I'm a sucker for cool minis and badass figures. I also love great artwork and when a game has nice table presence. But at the end of the day, the game has to be fun and engaging to guarantee future plays. I usually play games with my wife at 2P, but also with my gaming group at 3/4.
