Hey there Fantasy Fun Games!

Seriously. Beer is giving me super powers!

It should be nerfed.

Apart from this: great job I love X-Wing and it is my favorite game.

Fly casual.

If we got a buff to pretzels, beer would be perfectly balanced.

Hey, no way. I am using beer a lot. I mean... a lot! It's not OP. Recently I got tabled with only having 5 of them with several upgrades. Do you know what is OP? Vodka Swarm! I heard that on Russian events, noone plays anyting else! OP!!!

It's also a question of what you can equip it to.

A spaniel with it is much more balanced than I am (because his doggy beer is non-alcoholic and I'm a lightweight).

I think we should FAQ the Beer card to "Limited" or "Once per Turn".

You know beer is overpowered when you really see no reason to take anything else to a tournament.

But what if you take imperial IPA's? Those things start playing the game for you even with limited use

Once again, a beer buff, but forgetting about Imperial Tea fighters.

beer IS the nerf

I always prefer Scotch as it doesn't see a lot of table time. But I do really well with it. Unfortunately someone at worlds will dominate with Scotch and then the nerf cries will come...

The answer to beer is obviously a margarita. The dual mode (rocks versus frozen) gives you wonderful flexibility, and the upgrade option of salt versus no salt lets you fine-tune your squad.

Then again, there's always that weird person who comes with the strawberry version that nobody else likes and they still swear it's the best choice...

I am interested in Paul Heaver's and Nathan Eide's list on this table.

Only after rolling too many beer dice....

I dunno, I played a LOT of beer once, and it was a definte NPE the next day...

I find my morning games work best with the meta standard triple bloody Mary boats.

There's usually enough points left over for spicy or celery upgrades...

Problem is, if you bring that to an evening game, everyone else will boo you off the table.

I don't know, too much salt on margaritas' effectiveness on the table.

Unless it has the "free pour" title, maybe.

Geez, beer only needs a nerf if you abuse the commercial netlist versions! My own homebrew beer lists are just fine, not o-p at all!

Hooray Beer!

Beers fine, I can see its effect at only 4, it's Vodka that needs the buff you need double figures before it even gets close to OP

Totally agree that FFG is doing a great job! Yay Star Wars X-Wing! Thanks for playing everyone.

Beer just needs a point adjustment to be balanced. In most of Canada the minimum drinking age is 19, but in the states it's 21. It makes the states chronically underpowered as a good vacation destination for me.

I guess since I live here I'll stick to the chronically underpowered soda faction for a little longer...

Perhaps if they raised the official points up to 150? I could fit a lot more beers in my list that way, perhaps even have a scotch as well?

RoV

Don't nerf beer. I stick to the Red IPA faction. Yes, they are strong individually but they don't have the quantity of most of the other factions.
