What is your favorite bonus action?

Post by Martien-B »

Hello! I've developed INK at Final Score Games. I'm curious of which bonus action players prefer. What is yours?

I absolutely love the Bonus Action no. 1, the white dot! It's a nice way of creating momentum for bottle placement in each area. Love it!!

My favourite Bonus Action is "Move up to 2 ink bottles." Because the BA gives me the opportunity to open more space for the colour that I need, activate more BA, and place more ink bottles!

In this game bottle placements and white dots are the ultimate win condition, so imo "move 1 remove 1" is easily the most powerful bonus action, also as it often allows you to get 2 extra bottle placements for one numbered circle. "Move 2" is similarly good. "Remove 2 from 2 colors" can be nice but is fairly situational because you typically need to draw 7s in multiple colors for it to show its full potential. "Move a tile from the edge" can be really deep and strategic, and "draw a tile and place it" is gambling, which is objectively fun and addictive. I honestly get bummed out by opp places x tile because it's minimally strategic and ends up being an annoying piece of luck (who draws more 7s in one of their desired colors) for a fairly hefty price. But overall I think the bonus action tiles in this game are really cool and I'd honestly love even more variations!
As for favorite, I always get excited with games that have "draw one and place it"

My favorite is probably being able to take a card from the wheel for later use. Not only is this a strong offensive option, but it's good defensively as well. With little interaction to speak of, the best way to hurt an opponent is when they are looking for a tile with an objective of one of their palette colors. Near the endgame you can take them, though you then have to play it on your turn. But the bonus action of taking a tile without having to play it can be powerful.

Favorite is move an outside tile. I’ve chained many tiles with it. My best score is clearing 16 ink bottles in one move!

Least favorite is opponent draws an X. It doesn’t benefit my game and I’ve never won and thought it’s because this objective helped me

Favourite action is to place another colour on top of an existing tile. Making new routes.

favorit in different ways:
powerful: remove 2 bottles
fun and creative for unusual routes: place a different color tile
strategic: move a tile from the edge
anoying for the other player (and sometimes very strategic): draw a x tile

had just an idea about a new bonus for more player interaction: take a tile from your opponent

When they don't glitch - move an edge tile and place a coloured square as they can open up areas otherwise blocked in. BUT comes with the risk of bugs - as most times there's a issue its with these two actions.

The one that I used most to win is the remove / move. But I love the "change the goal number", it's just fun :)
