Newbie - Couple of Questions!

Hi!

Just started playing today, and a few things are still unclear from the manual. Maybe you guys can help 😊

  1. Does Favorite Food matter compared to regular Food? Will the pet get fuller faster, evolve faster, or is it mainly just for personality/preferences?
  2. When cooking food, you get a “hint” for two Seeds. Are those two mandatory seeds required to avoid getting a Bone, or are they just one possible combination out of several valid ones? Also, do different valid combinations produce the same food?
  3. Dress-up question: Can you only color an item once? And is the final color always the combination of the two selected colors?
  4. Is there a single place where all Lake codes are listed?
  5. On the Friendship screen, what does the upper bar represent? Does it show how close the pet is to evolving?
  6. I’m a bit confused about the overall goal/progression of the game. We previously played Bitzi, where you could raise multiple pets at the same time and switch between them. Here it seems like you only raise one pet at a time. Is the gameplay loop basically:
  • raise a pet to adulthood,
  • release it to receive a gift
  • start over with a new pet?

And are both the Adult form and the gift permanently logged in the Library?
So the long-term goal is essentially to repeat this cycle for all 75 pets so they are all logged in the Library? If so - what "reset" between those cycles (you need to re-buy Dress-Up items for example?)

  1. How exactly do the growth mechanics work? Is growth purely time-based, or do certain actions speed it up? Has any detailed information about this been shared anywhere?

Thanks!

Hi,

Recently I have looking for some "Solo" MOBA games. The things I found are Shape of Dreams, Ravenwatch, Sworn and EverSiege.

EverSiege looks the closest, but It has mediocre reviews - mostly about Online, but also about the depth after couple of runs. So I think I will wait on that.

Shape of Dream/Ravenwatch seem like popular choice compared to Sworn review-wise. But what isn't clear to me, is which is the better solo experience? They both have Co-Op, and I was wondering if they were balanced around a group, or have difficulty tweaked pretty well around solo?

Hi everyone! :)

I’d like to hear your suggestions on how to teach Netrunner to a young child. He is not new to board games, but Netrunner is probably a jump in difficulty. I do believe though that with my help he’ll be able to grasp most of the rules and enjoy it.

Another challenge is that English is not his native language (though this is also a good opportunity for him to practice). So much of the game will rely on memorizing what the cards do. Luckily, there’s no need to remember every small detail, since a lot of the information is numerical (for example: “take X meat damage” or “gain X credits”).

I think the first Decks we should use are from System Gateway. It has a small deck and only 6 agenda points, which means it won’t be too tiring and won’t include too many cards.

I was wondering how you teach the game (if you’ve done so) to children based on your experience, and which decks you used early/modified which rules to keep things simple so they can focus on the rules and mechanics rather than complex card combinations.
