You lazy motherfuckers really let the old thread expire and even hours later didn't create a new one. I mean I like creating the pics but still.

>what game from your collection would you say are you the best at?
Going by BG Stats, Imperial Struggle. My ADHD-ridden brother gets his ass spanked every single time. But that's more his ADHD than me being good, so Brass and Power Grid are two others where my win rate is 2+ times higher than the expected win rate for the player count.

>dice or fixed values for combat resolution?
Most dice resolution sucks shit through a straw, yes even in otherwise good games, very quickly turning them into snakes and ladders. Dice should either have marginal impact or there should be some serious luck mitigation mechanics. Most times when people cope that these mechanics exist, the mitigation mechanics are the marginal part, not the core dice luck aspect.

On the other hand, fixed value combat is much harder to design, especially in a way that's not boring. I can name the number of good games with such combat on 2 fingers. They are Dune and Kemet.

the same answer whenever the question is splendor and that's century spice road.

I pretty much never lose Ticket to Ride, even when players actively target me. Although one time I did get a perfect score of 22 in Splendor. (Bought a 5 point card when I had 14 points, and aid card also gave me a 3-point noble tile).
Dice Combat is weird. I love it in Hoplomachus, Summoner Wars, and Eclipse. I hate it in WOTR and War for Arrakis. It's a game by game thing.
