And for the last one, there's this super competitive fuck in my playgroup who will get competitive even at charades. So I did the sensible thing and taught him 1 on 1 competitive Magic using my Pauper decks. Most games I buy Hess days is bought partly as a test to see how competitive he can make it.

I bought Citadels recently, having played it much in my youth. I look forward to seeing people play that game with him.

So is High Frontier good? Or just autism personified?

>>51750257

I told my FLGS to order it in for me along with sekigahara.

>>51751514
Hmmm, Terminator 2 is one of my favorite movies of all time, but can't say I'm tempted by this at all. The war aspect was never that interesting and was made really shitty by the sequels. I wish they instead just more tried to simulate the hunter/hunted aspect more. Guess I'll just wait to see how it plays.

Totally fair reason to talk about a game, even if it's kickstarter. However you have talked in up like 3 threads in a row, and we're not talking about the leaked TI4 or TS rethemed for the Tolkien universe or a non-Rex reprint of Dune; it's a kickstarter casual card game.

/bgg/ tends to go a little more autism on our games, and while we do enjoy lighter fare from time to time, it's generally games that've been around for years, and will continue to be. Shill or not, you're not gonna be favorably received for posting the same pic and saying it's fun, without a detailed writeout and arguments to prove it's a good game.

>Should I lie and say I've been playing Dead of Winter a lot recently....
It's worked for other anons, but there's always option 3: say I like this theme, and this style of cardplay, what do you other anons suggest and why? Either way it's gonna be a lot better than you and some other retard shouting shill/cuck at each other for another thread.

truly sad, anon. my life is sad too, but for different reasons. this weekend, for example, I'm hosting a game day and will be playing games with a group of ten people. these will be games that were designed by grown adults, not games made by some twelve year old who learned basic graphic design but couldn't be bothered to come up with an original idea, much less original creatures and/or game mechanics.

I watched the video on the kickstarter page and turned it off after about twenty seconds because whoever made that video sounds like a 14 year old scene kid and I'll be damned if I'm gonna let a faggot like that tell me about a game I have barely any interest in to begin with

Anyone played the new Mansions of Madness edition with the app etc? I've read and heard good things but I find myself hesitating. How is it compared to Arkham Horror? Or Eldritch Horror?

>>51755413
I played it with the app but I haven't played the other two.

With the app, I don't understand why does it need to be a board game at this point - I'd have the same amount of fun just clicking on the stuff on the screen. That said people apparently love chucking dice and moving minis by themselves.

The game itself is OK - I enjoy it as much as playing Last Night on Earth. You do it to be entertained not to have some tactical/strategic game night.

The Lovecraft theme might suit some people it might not suit others.

The scenarios from the app are semi-replayable, personally I think it needs fan made content to be truly replayable.

Enough talk about shills, baits, and KS.

What was your most autistic moment while PLAYING board games?

Maybe you over mathed , maybe you dropped the spaghetti during settlers, or maybe you were a bit too stubborn as a mule (pic related)

>>51755920
Usually doesn't happen as I'm not an obsessive personality type.

I have gotten groupthought into doing that sort of thing in cooperative games *with* obsessive people, though.

Like that one time in TIME Stories when there was a challenge that would clearly provide no benefits and had "trap" written all over it... so, naturally, we all gathered in that room together and chucked dice at it for an entire 12 time units, half the entire mission's allotment, only to finally get through and have the situation be exactly as dumb and bad and not at all important as we thought it would be.

Played solitaire against the bot that is meant to actually be Justin Blaske, the designer.

He obliterated me.

Goddammit Justin.

That said, this is probably the only Analogue AI I've ever played against who was actually easy to use and still made non-boring decisions.

Game plays in ten minutes as advertised, very tricky little worker placement game that has expendable workers, which is a subgenre I hadn't run into yet. Losing too many workers and therefore being too "poor" to do anything was definitely my undoing.

I especially liked how the row of development cards was randomized, leaving so much to chance on what's actually going to come out this turn. It makes the overarching strategy a little less oppressive, since you are forced to mainly rely on tactics.

Similar to what Rahdo said in his runthrough of this, it's juuust meaty enough to be an accurate representation of what modern board games are, while still being really light and fitting in my jacket's top pocket, which leads to this seeming like it'd be a really great game to insta-gateway someone who's bored. Just pull it out and show them how they've gotta spend mints to make mints.

Definitely looking forward to playing this with people.

But also, really, damn you Justin, I'm going to beat you if it's the last thing I do.

>>51756280
No bug, used expansion combos and a bit of luck early game to get a massive amount of resources, bought almost every card, and kept cycling the deck/discard killing monsters. One expansion hero let's you kill monsters in the discard. Selective killing, and taking near infinite turns through extra turn artifacts meant I could keep going until I either crashed the gamer or gave up. For several thousand points my phone was so slow that killing a single monster took about 5-10 seconds. Rinse repeat over a couple weeks wnv I had time to kill, and voila.

I'm currently painting the figures from MoM 1st edition, and fully plan to buy and paint 2nd edition after that.

Moving the physical figures and actually rolling dice has a real visceral pleasure for me and my group.

Sure... literally the next sentence after the one you quoted.

*I* just don't see the appeal.

>>51761686
Sorry I should have been more clear. I think if they make it just an app they would lose and upset a lot of their vocal fanbase, and have to charge less.
Someone who has done some sort of research will have decided that the potential increased audience for a cheaper app is less that the amount lost for charging less and potentially upsetting loyal fans.

Unless that still isn't what you mean by "not understanding why it needs to be a board game".

I don't have many euro games, and was thinking of using this to round out my collection a bit. Bad idea? I like a lot of the concepts, plus after watching LWA I want some magic school games. The long playtime is going to make it kind of hard to get to the table though.

Everything else is ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS and meant to do nothing but blind you. 90% of this shitty game's components are meant to do nothing more but sell this game to brain dead millennials like yourselves.

One Night Ultimate Werewolf is great. King of Tokyo and Machi Koro are both great games to play with kids, I don't know if I'd ever play them with other adults though. Maybe King of Tokyo if I were drunk. They're both very simple games with not much strategy to them - you always know what you're going to do on your turn because it's just clearly the most optimal thing.

>If someone came up with a good way to implement it I'd be all over a Tribes boardgame.

Man I loved me some Tribes / Tribes 2, but that would be difficult to capture the frenetic energy of a match in board game format. (I can't remember the name of the over-the-top mod I'd play - the disk launcher would fire like a machine gun. Mortars would launch barrages. It was even more frenetic.)

>>51770692
Tribes 2 was just phenomenal. And it still holds up really well for a 2001 game. Still can't get my LAN group to play it with me because "skiing is too hard" and "No one else is ever going to land an MA but you". As for mods, I was a huge sucker for Shifter, awesome mix of base-building toybox and practical game elements.
Maybe if Ascend had local server support I could get the scrubs to try that, but no.

>>51770772
Not going to be released any time soon I reckon, but worth keeping an eye on:

>>51770837
Actually went in on their kickstarter because I'm a sucker, just for the cheap progression bypass/open beta tier.
No way was I going to throw a hundred+ bucks after closed alpha/beta access.
I'd be a lot more excited if they weren't going the F2P route and hadn't admitted to having a progression system, those two together almost always mean no public server files and no LAN support or mod support.

Wow, that is some *incredibly* ugly art.

>>51753837
>Fury of Schwarzenegger
Is this a game?

>>51771619
I completely agree, I don't think I could sit through a whole game of that. Which is unfortunate and I should probably get over it because it looks like a super interesting and well made game.

>>51771564
I mean, it is a deckbuilding game in a way. Dunno if you know the basic premise. Game works in two phases. First phase is all of the players in the "game store" buying and selling cards amongst each other in real time trying to make a deck to bring into the tournament. It's frantic and the first one or two times you do it you can feel overwhelmed, but once you get used to it, its extremely fun and probably more entertaining than the actual tournament phase. It feels really good to sift through the cards and the store deck is organized in sets so that you have a vague idea of what you're going to grab, but no guarentees. It replicates the feel of popping open booster packs really well.

The actual tournament phase is pretty simple. You each take turns playing 1 card at a time into a row of 6 slots, and activate various effects on these cards in order to get rank points. Whoever has the most rank points at the end of a tournament wins that tournament, and gets a certain amount of overall VICTORY points towards the end of the game. There's 3 tournaments with increasing amounts of victory points. There's a LOT more to it than that because there are probably 1000 different cards with all this expansion stuff I just picked up now, and even the base game has like, i dunno, at least 600 unique cards? Something like that. It has a ton of variety and my friends and I have been playing it for months now and can't stop. This expansion is about to make us the happiest gamers around.

>>51771632
He's referencing Fury of Dracula, but a hypothetical version where Arnold is chasing players around trying to get Sarah Connor or whatever the plot would be (I've actually never seen Terminator, believe it or not)

>>51771648
I see. so the trounament game is kind of less meaty than the "trading" and negotiation part of the game?
also I agree with the others, the art is really "eh..."

>>51771543
I haven't really looked through it yet but it seems interesting. It's basically trying to beat the score of a "boss" deck with semi-randomized cards, all of which do some ridiculous shit. Looking at one now, ongoing, whenever a player plays a non core card, after all effects, flip that card face down. Flip: flip all core cards.

So, there's that. I would have to try it to really figure out how fun it is. Honestly I'm just glad to be able to have a reason to play the store phase anytime I want without needing people to play against.

>>51771564
Game is broken into 2 halves: Deckbuilding and Tournament. In Deckbuilding, you buy and sell cards to assemble a "deck" (you never shuffle it, so I don't like calling it a deck) of about 10 cards, which you bring into Tournament. In Tournaments, everyone takes turn playing cards in order to get the points at the end. The fun is in trying to play combos, trying to interrupt others', and protecting your own. I think it's the weakest part of the game, sadly. There's a lot more to everything, but that's the basic gist of it.

>>51771619
It's fucking awful and I don't know why they keep hiring him. He does art for Battlecon extra material, and almost every single one is worse by a far margin. Right side is their usual artist.

>>51771655
ah ofcourse. Wishful thinking made me miss the reference.

Well worth a watch, friend. It's not Predator but it's up there.

>>51771619
>>51771636
>>51771671
Personally I don't mind the art, I think it fits the style of the game. It helps that it's almost entirely done by 1 artist so even though there's about a million cards and themes, it's all unified. The expections being a lot of the new promo sets, as many of them are guest artists and such. I dunno, I think I just have a soft spot for it after playing the game so much.

And to answer your question, while the store phase is certainly a ton of fun and very meaty, I wouldn't use the term "weak" to describe the tournament. For one thing, the entire store phase is basically gearing up for what you're going to do in the tournament. If it's not the first tourney, you also have to consider what other people have played in the previous ones to maybe change your strategy. It's fairly SIMPLE, for sure, because bottom line is you're playing 6 cards in a row and doing what they say. But because of how many different cards there are, there almost always ends up being a lot of really fun interactions. My friends and I have played this game maybe 15 times, and we've managed to build almost entirely unique decks basically every time. There's definitely some repeat strategies (hence why we're so excited to have this expansion content) but overall there's so many different strategies you can use that watching what people do during a tournament can be a lot of fun.

So, yeah. The tourney phase isn't as good as the store phase. But the two work hand in hand with each other to make the full game, and it's still really good, so to call it weak isn't doing it any justice.

>>51771671
The tournament phase serves the important purpose of making you build a deck and actually consider how to use all the cards. It isn't bad for what it is, just the store is the meat of the game.

New expansion for EH. Also on the website is an announcement for an Iron Throne expansion.


Unrelated, but is there a preferred version/ expansions of Machi Koro

>>51774446
Bright Lights Big City ironically saves this somewhat dreadful game by adding more randomness to an already way too random game. The available buildings change, making no strategy perfect, or the same every time. It also has lots of expansion content baked in. If forced to play this dreadful series, I would always request this version.

>>51771506
Flip a coin :^)

>>51774740
Thanks!

>>51774740
I had been taught that you play Machi Koro by having about 6 or 8 available "slots". You draw cards from the top of a deck containing all the buildings, putting them into the slots while stacking multiples. It worked out pretty well, and I was surprised and disappointed to read the manual and find out that it's more like Dominion, where everything is available to buy.

>>51777017
That's actually how I was taught too; sounds like it's better

Pic related. Me when I start a new game

>>51778644
If you invest yourself in games, you definitely want Star Realms. I've participated in official tournaments for this game, it goes so satisfyingly deep if you let it.

how is the Arkham Horror box? I mean it has complete copies of each card or a second/third box is required to have some more options? also what do the "Chapters" add to the game?
I'm kinda in the mood to try an LCG/ECG

>>51779319
You have a full playset (two copies) of most cards. Some are singles meaning you would have to buy a second core if you really want two copies. A second copy also allows you to jump from two to four players out of the box.

By chapters I assume you mean the monthly Mythos Packs, which contain secenarios that make a story campaign together, with choices and consequences carrying over throughout.

>>51779633
so this time I need all the mythos packs isn't? i mean if I wan to go throught to totally complete a mission isn't? not unlike LoTR where you have a set of missions separated from the rest of the packs.

>>51779319
The core box has singletons for all faction specific cards, with 4 copies of some of the common Neutral cards, and 2 copies for the rest of the Neutrals. So there's no real deckbuilding opportunity unless you get a second core set.

You can play stand alone (playing without a campaign), and there are a few print-on-demand scenario packs that are one-of scenarios unrelated to the campaign, but if you want to play the campaign then yes, you do need all the mythos packs within a cycle (each cycle is a different campaign).

>>51771619
Honestly, I don't disagree with you. You pick sets at the beginning of the game to use and it's possible to pick a fairly inoffensive set that looks only about as bad as Yu-Gi-Oh, but there's a lot "lol, reference" stuff in the selectable packs that drives me up the wall and often just bad attempts at humor. I like the base 6 characters, the art on them and what they represent as far as their references to the CCG community. I like the core cards which will always be about 50% of the cards in the store. But then you get to certain packs that are just blatant references or jokes with no sense of cohesive theme that were just thrown in because "nerd culture". They try too hard to be funny on other instances and one thing prior to this wave of stuff that drove me mad was half the promo packs were backers. Backers were promised to be cards in the game and they make up a little under half of the promo packs you can pick from, which is just cartoony art of a buncha fat nerds.

The new expansion has a co op game mode where 1-4 people build a deck, then go up against an AI deck that plays cards somewhat randomly one at a time that gain it points/mess with your deck, in addition to a few other semi-randomized effects every time you play against them. So basically, build your deck like you normally would with other players, and then go up against the AI's deck. It's scaled for the number of players so you don't need to get tons of points if you're literally playing solo. I think it probably isn't that great solo (though I haven't tried it) since when you go into it, your characters get special co op powers that benefit everyone else, so if you play with just one person you aren't getting as much benefit as you could be. But again, I'd have to try it. And you could probably just play it where you do a full 20 minute deck building phase multiple times for each "player" that you wanted to include. It would take a lot of book keeping once you get into the tourney but it could be fun.

I just got it today so I haven't tried anything out yet, but I can say that the new cards are pretty fun to play with; the guys just left so it's very fresh. We especially love having more fucking promos, finally.

Nope. Had it saved, really considered doing so, but the main friend I'd play with looked over the KS page and said it sounded similar to Betrayal At House On The Hill, so not to bother. I back too many other KS games(14 that haven't arrived yet), so figured I'd just skip that one. Looked neat though, and I'd probably rather play it than Betrayal, but, eh.

>>51785164
You shuffle only once so that significantly helps. Your "deck" you build is a hand of cards that doesn't need shuffling and the store is so big that even at 5 players you'll probably not reach the end of it.

>>51786832
>trying this hard to make connections
we both know that playing a game of arkham horror is nothing like playing a jrpg. hopefully whoever asked for the recommendation is smart enough to see through your thinly veiled bullshit as well

>>51786857
the D&D games' campaign system is still razor thin unfortunately and the fun of the game, imo, comes from the challenge of the scenarios rather than the adventuring/looting/leveling aspect which is what he seems to really be looking for. someone already said gloomhaven, and KDM is another game that does all that.

>>51793180
True. Doesn't mean I still can't call him a piece of shit for designing this shit game and getting so many fucking normies attached to it.

But then again maybe that's a fault of humanity, not Mr. Jackson

>>51791989
X-Wing based their movement templates on it, so there isn't too much difference. Basic turn goes by choosing three maneuver cards (which use different decks depending on the plane), setting them down and revealing them simultaneously. You then move the plane according to the arrow on the card, and any planes within shooting range gets shot. Where X-Wing uses dice though Wings of Glory uses a deck of damage cards, which has different distributions corresponding to the type of plane doing the shooting. There's multiple types of damage like fire that deals a damage card each turn, and cards that block a certain type of maneuver. All decks alsi have atleast one instant death explosion card too, so drawing extra damage cards due to close range can be terrifying.

There's also more optional rules for playing with altitude and stuff too, and you can setup scenarios for bombing runs, among others. Notable difference between the WWI and WWII versions is the latter has adjustable speed options, where you can gear up or gear down between maneuvers.

I don't know much about the miniatures version and how they're distributed, but the old card game version had a lot of planes and multiple maneuver decks in a single box, so those are always a good buy. I know the miniatures version are prepainted as well, and have adjustable height for when playing with altitude, as well as tilting I think. There's a few videos online you can watch to get a feel for it.

Is it better than X-Wing though, I don't know. Maybe if you reeeally hate Star Wars, and don't care for the competitive scene, Wings of Glory could be better. If you tolerate Star Wars and want a not dead scene though, X-Wing definitely has more depth due to being able to customize your planes.

>>51794010
I see. honestly I don't care much about the competitive scene and also I'm not much fond of SW in general.
the damage is done by a deck? interesting.
I still don't got how to flight but I'll watch a video and see how it's in action. also how old is this game? looks like is difficult to find starter packs in the main sites such as mini market.

>>51793711
It's great to entertain children or newbies, not one I'd ever bring out in a group of *only* gamers, though. The gameplay is indeed just dice mixed with some purchase decisions and a push your luck element.

>>51794099
Pretty old, the earliest WWII set seems to be from 2009 going from bgg.

Flight uses the maneuver cards, each card has an arrow with a start point and an end point. Once you've chosen three maneuvers for the turn, you simultaneously reveal each of them one by one, then place it in front of the plane. You then move the plane so that it overlaps the end point of maneuver card. Then you check for any planes in shooting range, deal damage if so, then move on to the next maneuver. You can't change any of the maneuvers you've placed until the turn ends, at which point you pick them up, then choose your next next three maneuvers.

You've probably gleaned this from the videos already I bet, it's pretty simple to pick up. There's other rules, like needing a straight before and after the turn around maneuver, and being forced to play a stall maneuver after a sharp turn. The maneuver decks are all different too, so one plane could have long arrows meaning it's a fast plane, some have sharper right turns because the real plane was good at turning right, etc. The WWII version has two arrows instead of one (or was it three, I can't remember), and depending on whether you pick up speed or slow down, you choose the appropriate arrow to follow.

>>51794781
>WWII set comes from 2009
ouch, is still in production?

>>51794869
Apparently so, going by Ares Games' page they just released a Battle of Britain starter set 6 days ago. Maybe shop there?

>>51794978
well, beat me then.
now I need to choose, or ask better say. my friends want to play Tanks (GF9) or Wings of Glory?

either way it's i the onw who will be buying all this stuff.

>>51795011
Probably better to ask your friends if they want high flying action or ground rumbling cruising. I will say though that the Wings series is pretty light due to the lack of customization options, even with the plethora of optional rules provided. There's fan side effort to introduce stuff like ace skills and experience points, but regardless you could get left wanting for more quickly. The old Wings of War boxes are still good value for money though (depends on the boxes, some support 4, some only 2), I'd recommend picking them up if you go for the tanks whenever you spot them.

>>51793886

I see, the lack of customization is a bad thing, thanks for point it out. and thanks for your time in answering all my doubts.

On a west coast trip to BC, seeing friends I haven't seen in Years, and we be gaming all weekend before Ill be moving on to see old classmates on the island.

Got a friend to buy Jaipur, though I've never played it. Meme game great game.

Biblios was a surprising treat.

Currently playing shit disturbing: the game.

For someone who loves guys on a map and trash games heavy on conflict and chance, I'm OK with this.

Which D&D game (Ashardalon, Ravenloft, Drizzt) is the best buy in your opinion?

Looking into Arkham Horror LCG, some help plz?
Max is 4 players?
Do I NEED to core sets for 4? Or can I get an expansion to get 4?
How expansions work? What order to buy? How often are releases?
I have a friend who dislikes most games we introduce(7 wonders/risk/superfight/exploading kittens) but she enjoys smash bros and mario party and some other vidya. Think she might dig this?

>>51797362
Hard to say because they all do something different.
Ravenloft is the most video-gamey. It's more straightforward, there's less things to keep track off, events are more unpredictable and monsters' AI is easier to bait.
Drizzt's got more complex combat, but the events are much more tedious since there's a shitload of volcanic vents eruptions that can make you feel like you're playing without events or getting roasted as fuck depending on how the board develops. Drizzt is also super OP compared to the other heroes from all other games.
Ashardalon has some out-of-the-dungeon stuff for a tiny bit more customization, and Ashardalon is by far the most exiting end boss. But the "dungeon" flavor is way weaker than Ravenloft or the underdark and it has the least interesting heroes in my opinion.

I personally like Ravenloft more because I love playing it solo and adding milestones/handicaps or modding heroes/monsters. It's a very brewing friendly system that kinda breaks in the other games because of how much stances/power ups can break the game.
But if you're in for progression and a more campaign-oriented gameplay Ashardalon is the best.

>>51797905
>Max is 4 players?
Yes.

>Do I NEED to core sets for 4?
Yes if you want to immediately be able to play at 4, and if you really want a second copy of faction specific cards.

>Or can I get an expansion to get 4?
Yes, since expansions have more cards to fill up the void.

>How expansions work?
In cycles, each cycle starts with a big box followed by smaller mythos packs. Each cycle is also a self-contained campaign.

>What order to buy?
Core, then whatever cycle you're interested in the campaign in. Only one available at the moment though, and still unfinished.

>How often are releases?
Usually once a month between packs.

>I have a friend who dislikes most games we introduce(7 wonders/risk/superfight/exploading kittens) but she enjoys smash bros and mario party and some other vidya. Think she might dig this?
Probably not. Go for other introductory level board games first.

Hello. What are the type of board game where you roll a die and move thing on the board. The goal is to get from A to B before other players.
English isn't my first language, so I honestly don't even know what to google for.
Something to play with my five-year-old son.
Something like this.
Please advise.

>>51800356
It's called a racing game.

>>51800368
Thank you.

>>51800271
They reprinted sponsors?! I dont remember that. Is that for everyone at 80 dollars pledge or more?

>>51800356
I don't have a copy, but someone here created an image with game suggestions for young gamers. Hopefully someone can share it for you.

>>51800921
I don't know, I gave them like $90 with a late pledge a month ago and forgot about it.

>>51800998
I'll lurk in this thread, then. Thanks.

>>51801109
Guess they decided to reprint. Is that the artbook in the back or something else? Do you mind uploading the rpg campaign mode in it?

>>51801253
>art book
>campaign mode
Late backer, I don't know what you're talking about.

>>51801263
Whats the black thing at the back?

>>51801359
The box. The art you see is a sleeve.

>>51801478
Oooh right, neat

>>51800356
like the other anon said, those are racing games. but the ones where you roll a die and then move that number of spaces are specifically called "roll and move"
they're also some of the most hated games typically, but obviously a five year old won't mind
it says ages 8+, so there might be a bit too much for a five year old to pick up, but this might be a good game to consider getting in a couple years

This is mad but I need to ask it, what transferable skills can I gain by playing more board games?

Long story short, I'm a student who's trying to cover all of the gaps in my CV but I've already milked all of my current opportunists dry and I don't want to spend all of my time in a job interview only talking about 2 or 3 different things I've done. This means that I need to start something new, and I'm hoping that I can kill two birds with one stone and have some fun while I'm at it.

>>51804404
go organize a game of mega civ with 18 players and finish it in 12 hours.

i had one last yesterday and the one guy didnt participate but had his hands full managing everything and making sure phases didnt last more then 15 minutes.
also distributing the turn order information and resources in a timely manner.

How to deal with AP issues within a group? I've told them to plan their moves during other player's turns, but when it gets to their turn, they end up staring at the board for 10 minutes before coming up with something.

I don't know what to do. It's a really frustrating experience.

>>51805547
Pull out a sand timer. If you have codenames use that one desu

>>51805547
what games are you trying to play where it's a big problem?

>>51805547
There are two wildly different approaches.

1. Time moves, if they go over they just have to play now.

2. Repeat many times throughout the whole session that perfection is not important and that you should really only be playing by instinct here. Even if it's not true, it'll allow the normal players to continue as normal, and the AP guy will feel really embarrassed.

Not to say "You suck as a teacher." but... you suck when it comes to teaching / dealing with this issue in a constructive manner. The goal here isn't to be a passive-aggressive bitch, it's to teach the 'A.P.' player that no one's life is in the balance and that it's OK to make a sub-optimal choice in a reasonable time frame if only to relax and not stress themselves (and everyone else) out.

>tfw testing out kmc hypermats in preperation for millennium blades next week

Feel like little leather wallets desu

Finally had a chance to play cutthroat caverns last night when a friend brought it. Holy crap, good thing I didn't buy that one on impulse.

It's like playing munchkin without any sort of jokes on the cards.

>>51808840
It's a 'semi-coop / take-that' style game where players attempt to strike the killing blow and end up with all the XP's / Treasure for the encounter. I'm not sure what you were expecting from that... It's pretty straight forward about what kind of game it is on the packaging.


In 'Good' news - looks like Stone Age is back in stock at CSI and elsewhere.

>>51790541
where does the hex and counter go

I had a chance to buy Kemet and I didn't

Board Games are just too expensive of an hobby for someone making 500 euros per month and soon much less.

Goodbye.

Has anyone got any opinion of Boss Monster or TMNT Shadow of the Past? Thinking about picking 'em up for a bit of casual fun (friend hated Nuklear Winter '68).

>>51811989
>bit of casual fun (friend hated Nuklear Winter '68)

Yeah, Nuklear Winter 68 is pretty much a straight up hex & chit war game and definitely not on the casual side of things. Haven't really got any experience with TMNT or Boss Monster so I can't help you there.

>>51811989
Boss Monster gets old very quick imo.

>>51811989
The artwork of boss monster is neat and retro but it's also very luck based

>>51811028
a) People who say that boardgames are a "hobby" are total, unsufferable nitwits. It's like saying that eating food or reading books is a "hobby". Even worse are those that talk about how they 'recently got into the hobby'. Nigga, what, you never played chess or checkers as a child? If so I don't want anything to do with you.

b) Getting good at playing one good game >>>>>>>> buying a ton of poorly thought-out cashgrab games and playing each only a few times.

>>51815043
Did you really just compare buying and playing niche entertainment products to eating food?

Looks fine to me.

>>51815043

Hobbyist boardgames and the """"classics"""" are in two different leagues. It's be the same as say the difference between someone who watches films and someone who watches incredibly niche arthouse films and enjoys them

>>51815066

>>51815834
That actually is a hobby.

>>51815886
Yes, and people who list 'eating food' as a hobby as unsufferable nitwits. That was my point.

>>51815167
>Hobbyist boardgames and the """"classics"""" are in two different leagues.
Only if you play the most cringe-worthy autismal games, and those kinds of boardgames are very rare. Something like Agricola or Pandemic is mainstream.

>>51812052
He said he wanted a war game, but he was thinking Risk or something. Whatever; still a great solo experience.

>>51812165
>>51813427
That's unfortunate to hear.

Still looking for opinions on TMNT Shadows of the Past if anyone has any.

>>51816402
What, in your opinion, is a cringe-worthy autismal game? Where is the line between autismal and mainstream?

I'm going to be traveling long distance by maglev train, what two player games do you recommend?

>>51816474
> What, in your opinion, is a cringe-worthy autismal game?
Games that prioritize living vicariously through a game that's full of 'story' and 'theme', especially with themes that focus on fantasy violence and sex. (Robots and monsters and waifus and shit.)

Normie games prioritize competition and gitting gud.

>>51816615
Kingdom Death is actually fun though.

>>51816615
t. Shut up and sit down

>>51816637
Actually, t. all the games you like are bad
SUSD loves that bullshit.

>>51816623
No doubt, but normies won't play something that's obviously targeted at people who can't get laid.

>>51816651
Did you watch their kingdom death review

It boiled down too "Sexy women make me uncomfortable and so does too many game mechanics you might enjoy it I guess"

>>51816506
Blokus and Onitama

>>51816664
But there's no sexy bullshit in the game itself, you have to go out of your way to by pin-ups.

>>51816799
>>51816506
D U K E also is a fine 2p game.

>>51816800
It's not the sexy bullshit itself that's a turnoff, it's the target audience. Also catering to the target audience usually ruins the gameplay mechanics, so the prejudice is justified.

>>51816831
if you and your normie friends feel alienated by the "target audience" it's working as intended, the game is not for you and we don't want you anywhere near it

I picked up a copy of Star Realms over the weekend, and it's pretty rad. How does it hold up in multiplayer, though? I'm not sure if I want to invest in another copy for group matches if it doesn't work well.

>>51816852
Why are you so salty? You asked, I answered. Playing boardgames is the most mainstream recreation there is. (Even normie nigs in mud huts in deepest, darkest Africa play boardgames.)

In reality your hobby (such as it is) is waifus and not getting laid, not boardgames.

>>51816664
>normies won't play something that's obviously targeted at people who can't get laid.
>hot bitches whose panties get moist at phrases like:

Kek! Care to try again, only this time with less fail?

>>51816881
>Playing boardgames is the most mainstream recreation there is.

Monopoly etc doesn't count

You are literally using the same logic game gurglists do to say soccer moms playing candy crush means women care about real computer games

>>51816415
>He said he wanted a war game, but he was thinking Risk or something. Whatever; still a great solo experience.

Yeah, I like Nuklear Winter 68 and Heart of Darkness as well. Don't get to play it often, but then there aren't a lot of folks in my area into hex and chit heavy war games. If you are looking for a lighter war game that's still classic hex and chit - check out Steve Jackson Game's OGRE stuff. If you want something less 'hex & chit' but still war gaming - then look at Small World, Heroes of Normandie, and Kemet.

>>51816908
>Monopoly etc doesn't count
Chess, Go and even Mancala are a hundred times more hardcore than whatever you play. Try again.

>>51816799
>>51816802
>>51816506
The correct answer here is Jaipur.

>>51816932
>If you want something less 'hex & chit' but still war gaming - then look at Small World
Small World is nothing like a wargame. The interesting decisions are the races you pick and when to go into decline, the map and capturing stuff is just filler so you don't get bored while playing.

>Small World is nothing like a wargame.

That's about as wrong as it gets! Small World is literally an 'area control' war game - a simple summary is 'Genocide the War Game - for the Lulz!' There are no other victory conditions (none whatsoever) besides 'exterminate as many others as possible and take their land, etc.' It is an abstract 'area control' war game.

>>51815043
Reading is a hobby tho
Same for board games and cooking (which usually includes eating)
