HOPE - Unofficial FAQ

last updated February 10th, 2022 — created February 10th, 2022

Like many, we found the English rules for this game to be pretty lacking, and went around looking for answers and FAQs. Most our questions were answered throughout the BGG forum, but the only FAQ we could find was in French.

To resolve this, we compiled all the answers we could find and the excellent examples from the French FAQ and other files into one printable booklet.

HOPE
Other Player Aid Projects
NEWTyrants of the Underdark
We had a crazy hard time finding short descriptions for all of the decks so we created this one to have a handy reference.
NEWTabletop Projects
We store most of our games vertically on IKEA Kallax shelves for ease of access and reset during cleanup so they set up faster.
NEWStarCraft: The Board Game
This is a rework of the unit reference from the expansion rulebook and a player reference for each faction's buildings, modules, and orders.
Twilight Imperium Fourth Edition
Many players wanted a nice game mat to place on their hard-top table, so we made this galaxy mat and have updated it several times to fit requests.
Twilight Imperium Fourth Edition
After trying to find a way to offer color-specific tokens that aren't as crazy expensive as laser cut acrylic, we decided to make our own.
Twilight Imperium Fourth Edition
We designed these laser cut acrylic tokens before we started 3D printing. They're pretty expensive, but awesome if you want that extra flare.
Twilight Imperium Fourth Edition
We printed these hyperlane tiles to make it easier to setup the Hyperlanes variant if you're playing with 3, 5, or 7 players.
Codex: Card-Time Strategy
Our main design goals were to have them fit in the box without rolling/folding, have a low-profile patrol zone, and have a large play area.
Runebound Second Edition
We made an expansions icon reference sheet so we could easily see which content belongs to what expansion.
Tabletop Projects
This is what we came up with for the center of a Venn diagram between "Wants a big fancy gaming table" and "Doesn't want to spend thousands on it".
World of WarCraft: The Board Game
We created a few fix-it stickers per the Errata listed in the FAQ.
Adrenaline
We were unaware of the new expansion's team bases until after our minis were re-based, but made these 3D Printed counterparts that work with our custom bases.
Chaostle
This is our approach to character skill reference labels. They are designed to be adhered to the backs of your character cards.
Alchemists
We didn't like playing on the shallow shelf that folds out of the cauldron pieces, so we made deeper shelves out of a bit of foam core.
Legacy of Dragonholt
We don't track the entries that we go through, so we decided it'd be a lot easier to have all our story tracking on one sheet.
WarCraft: The Board Game
We wanted to have a token to track the first player, so we tossed this one together.
Earth Reborn
We drafted a 3D model of the vacuum insert tray based on the measurements file from Ludically.
Alchemists
We adjusted the sheets, bought some minimal-border picture frames and wet-erase markers, put it all together, and now have reusable boards.
Tabletop Projects
We originally created this to replace a marker in Magic Maze, but it's so great for passing around that we now use it as a generic first person or turn marker.
