MOGGED
>>96480930>-290was this a plant feeding you points?
>>96480964No, just some shitter. All his plans failed.
>>96480914>- Favorite game that uses hexagonal tiles?Not quite hex but Clash of Cultures. If it has to be straight up hex tiles, Keyflower.>- Favorite card artwork?The cards in La Famiglia. I dig Santiago's art style.>- Favorite solo game?Pure solo - Wars of Marcus Aurelius. Multi-hand solo - Arkham Horror LCG
Do publishers pay BGG to show their games on their "Hotness" list? Emberheart entered "Hotness" the same day it was announced.
>>96480914>Favorite game that uses hexagonal tiles?Ecliose, I suppose. Could also be TI depending on my mood, I really like both. Imagine that.>- Favorite card artwork?Weird, I'm drawing a blank here. I own a bunch of games involving cards, but nothing really stands out. Fuck MTG and all, but their top tier artwork is absolutely amazing. Maybe Inis, but that probably only comes to mind for its uniqueness.>- Favorite solo game?lolLmao, even
Galactic Cruise is peak heavy euro
Thoughts on Sardegna?
>>96480991I love la famiglias artwork (or rather the choice of colour palette) but the cards, by which I think you mean the cardboard tiles with powers on them aren't really more than functional. Same if you mean the finesse combat ones. Or am I forgetting something?
>>96481008>MTGnot a board game, retard.
>>96481005I would imagine there's some fuckery going on. I don't think you can officially buy it, but there very likely is some trick to it. Probably paying chinese thumbs up farmers a few cents or something
Cosmic Encounter > Twilight Imperium
>>96481083Ah it's you again. You really should focus your energy on reading the posts. It'd save us both a lot of trouble.I'd also ask you to define 'boardgame' but we don't need another 50% shitpost thread.
>>96481098Depends on what you like, I guess.That said I find CE is lowest tier trash
>>96481104>Ah it's you again.take your meds>I'd also ask you to define 'boardgame' but we don't need another 50% shitpost thread.Board games have... boards. MTG is a card game.
TOM NO
Tom Vasel lived in South Korea from 2001 to 2009 to teach English and spread Christianity.
>>96481069I'm talking about the combat cards and the mafioso cards you get at the start of the game. The combat cards are great - the two cards for the cowards really give that sense of worry and fear.
I'm yet to play a good modern board game. All these "critically praised" ones people keep recommending feel like I'm doing work. Where's the fun? "Use le grey resource cubes to make le points and more points = le win". Fuck you. I want violence. I want death. Recommend something cool for once.
>>96481189Arcs.>Want to buy a thing? TAKE CAPTIVES>Oh, you got a good card? RAID DICE, STOLEN>Lots of resources? RAID DICE, STOLEN AGAIN>Not only will I kill you, I'm going to take your CORPSE as a TROPHY>Two people fighting over a card? Outrage that planet and ransack the court, KILL EVERYBODYUnironically a meaner game than most dudes on a map game.
>>96481121Pax ren 1e is not a boardgame, but 2e is?
You will never be a woman.
Shoutout to the sperglord that claimed the superiority of abstract games and the GIPF series on these threads a few years ago.He got me to try YINSH as something easy to teach to my kids and it is indeed great.Thanks for reading my blog.
>>96481229That sounds fun. I'll check it out.
>>96481189I think you just want some pure ameritrash. Which rarely gets made anymore, mainly because 99.9% of pure ameritrash designs are shit
>>96481267You're welcome.It wasn't me but I also think abstracts are peak
>>96481189>I want violence. I want death.Have you heard or our lord and savior Exceed? (Also you cannot buy it because Level 99 cannot keep their games in print.)
>>96481274I don't even know what the fuck that is. Like Monopoly? That one sucks. I played a game some months ago called "Undaunted" and it was freaking awesome. More like that, please?
>>96481267DVONN mogs YINSH hard
>>96481314LYNGK mogs them both
>>96481189How new?
>>96481314Looks very interesting indeed. I just went for the most consensual of the bunch, and "Othello but more fun" is an easy sell to potential players.
>>96481189Just play ol' Carc and stfu
Anyone ever play Last Night On Earth?
>>96481358I never understood the praise for YINSH, because it really is just othello + gomoku. DVONN is a meatier, thinky game of strategy reminiscent of life-and-death principle of Go. I also like that it collapses inevitably into endgame, there's no soft reset like in YINSH whenever someone scores.
>>96481404>I never understood the praise for YINSHbecause you're a retard. it's a great game.
>>96481189A Feast for OdinIt's about vikings going on bloothirsty raids to kill christians and steal their women as breeding slaves. Brutal game for manly mens.
>agricola but tetris
>>96481189have you tried root?
>>96481445Not now Varg
>>96481310I'll give you a short list of ameritrashy/high conflict games>Nemesis>Cosmic Frog>Merchants and Marauders>Cosmic EncounterMind that I consider them pretty shit, but you might enjoy them, and that's not even meant to be an insult. Different tastes etc
>>96481470M&M is not shit
>>96481372Probably the worst survival horror game I've played
>>96481486Admittedly it's the best in the list by far, I kida forgot to take it out (like I did with Western legends) but downtime can be so obscene I really don't want to play it again
>>96481490what's the best?
>>96481124Rip
>>96481189Nothing wrong with cubesHave you played Hansa Teutonica?How about Chicago express?Lots of cubes, low rules overhead, very interactive
>>96481341TIDDY mogs everything
>>96481516Terrorscape. The only one that was any good at all even, but it's a huge box of crowdfunding slop and I wouldn't pay €100 for it
>>96481537Nothing I against cubes themselves. Just hate this feminine dynamic of "work on this boring shit individualy and them compare with le other girls and see who is the prettiest!" that is so prevalent in modern games. I want actual competition. Competing for control and space. Attacking each other along the way. I will check out Hansa.
>>96480914>tq1.Castles of Burgundy2.Quintin Hoover's Hymn to Tourach, or if we don't count MTG, Either the Bird Ambush from Root or Pied Piper from Oath.3.Micro Macro
>>96481098Damn, you're really gunna hit them with a truth nuke like that?
>>96481245It used cards as a board due to poverty and then it became an actual board game.
Cole Wehrle on Caylus: "This game is a brutal, flat out masterpiece. I prefer it with 4 or 5 players. A far superior worker placement game to Agricola."Is he right?
RootSpirit IslandWingspan
>>96481699>WingspanList of meme games?
>>96481682Hate his designs, but he's a pretty cool guy. Dead wrong on this one, though
>>96481682100% he's right. Not a fan of his games, but Caylus is the best
has anyone heard of Creature Caravan?
So I just got the age of steam acrylic tilesI opened them, saw the note about the protective film, and just started mindlessly removing the film from both sidesI'm about 25% in and just realized, why am I doing this? They were pre-sleeved from the factory, and there's no way for me to reattach the filmFuck
>>96481946>Oh, looks interes->Ryan laukatEwww
>>96482049I can't even tell if this is satire or not goddamn
>>96482063personal issues with Ryan or just dislike his games?
>>96482049We need a drawfag on this
>>96482076Personal, he borrowed $20 from me ine time and hasn't mentioned payi g me back since.
anyone here got kids? i have a 1 year old and my wife is starting to lose interest in playing becuase of how much time the lil one takes. she's my main gaming buddy, i don't know wtf im going to do bros.
>>96482076The latter
>>96482093This one is different. It's not a campaign game. Give it a chance.
>>96482084I contacted him on social media to ask a question about a product and the faggot never replied back. His company's website has no email to contact. So unprofessional.
>>96482091withhold sex unless she games
>>96482091If the kid can't learn brass in the next couple years, there's always adoption
>>96482091Tom Vasel's daughter stopped going on BGG and posting game content after she married. It's over.
>>96482091Smile because it happened. My wife has only ever tolerated board games in gathering settings as an excuse to have people over. Lucky if that happens every few months. With 5 kids I don’t even have time to try solo games myself. One of our kids will play with me but there’s not often any time
>>96481699>Spirit IslandIs this still the go-to for a meaty thematic coop? I haven't kept up for a while.
>>96482147Hard to blame her for wanting to ride the big d all the time
>>96482091Don't worry, time will fly and your kid will be old enough to play games with you before you notice it. Dragomino is not the best game ever, but at least it is playable at 5-6.The con is that you will be old before you notice it too.
>>96482187I think so, yes. Unless I'm forgetting something.
I still felt "young" in 2022 at age 26 but I'll be 30 next year and I feel like life is already over. Time has no mercy. I thought I would have a wife and kids by 30 but I'm still far away from that. I wanted to teach board games to my children but now it seems like solo gaming will be my thing forever. Depressing.
>>96482134Words spoken by the childless
>>96482229Thanks. I gave the game years ago to a friend because I did not have the time to play anymore, and now I have that itch to scratch again.
>>96482272>Solo gamingJust play video games. Or get outside and meet people to play games. I have a wife and kids and other hobbies, so my game time is extremely limited now and sometimes I wish I was like you. The grass is always greener elsewhere.
>>96482272
>>96482327Interesting. I recently read an article about the overall least happy part of.life being mid 30s to mid-end 40s aka the time span in which most people have younger kids
Which currently out of print game do you want most to get a reprint? Maybe even a new edition with some changes.
>>96482353Gods i want Blue Moon Legends back and the rest of Sakura Arms localized
>>96482353i would have said Container until yesterday
>>96482353Blue Moon legendsSamurai (none picnic version)Quest for El Dorado with all content and matching card sizesGod damn Knizia, get it togetherOh, and a reprint of container, with regular sized ships, nothing too crazyBut they should be able to float, so that I can play the game in a custom board game aquarium
>>96482069Piss offBut here's a coupon code that may be good
>>96482367>>96482401I'm not sure why bros but Blue moon legends never really worked for me. I've seen that supposedly it only starts being good once you know your/the opponents deck, but that seems so very unlike knizia I'm having a hard time believing it
>>96482353I want Exceed and Battlecon localized in my language. It's dead for Exceed due to licensing, but for Battlecon why not.
>>96482419I have no idea if bml is good, that's why I'm not willing to pay out of print pricesBut for a normal price, sure, worth a punt
>>96482183nigga you got 5 kids? how the fuck are you still alive or even posting here? me and my wife both feel like losers because we barely can keep up with our daughter even though we get a ton of help from the family.
Is slipping birth control into the drinks of newly weds the only way to keep a gaming group together?
>>96482352People have been studying this for around 50 years and until around 6 years ago young people were consistently happier than middle aged people. That is not the case anymore but middle aged people haven't gotten any happier.
>>96482480Based, I see my rants against zoomers were not in vain and dragged them down to my levelNow, to offer them some precious uplifting social time by forcing them to play boardgames. I'm gonna be a goddamn board game therapist by 2035
>>96482618As opposed to being simply the rapist?
>>96482695That's Tom Vasel's job.
>>96482715>the vice tower
>>96481124TOM YESHis fave summoner wars faction list was incredibly based.Storm gobbos numba one? With a star studded supporting cast of Cloaks, Birbs, Sand goblins, and savannah elves?I kneel.God it doesnt get more
>>96482818>God it doesnt get more*narrator's voice* And just like that, it got more.
What could it be?
>>96481189>I want violence. I want death. Recommend something cool for once.Cosmic Frog>>96481598>I want actual competition. Competing for control and space.Renature>>96481946Tableauslop but it's okay>>96483336Longish box... maybe uhhhhh Terra Mystica?
>>96483336Your cat, back from the taxidermist.
>>96482470You can add small traces of cocaine in your friends' pizza slices to create a codependency to you via subconscious addiction
>>96483586as an added bonus this will enhance their gameplay performance
>>96483336Okay with this shape, it's gotta be a dildo this time
>>96483336star trek captain's chair?
>>96483336Princess Crown 2E
>>96483336so what is it?
>>96483336Something tiny like Love Letter, but sender is being cheeky with the packaging.>>96483511>over 20 pounds of pussy and formaldehyde
>>96484082Guess it was anthrax
>>96483983Based pic
>finally tabled after over a year sitting on shelf>whole gang is here to try.>turns are snappy, power cards felt powerful and varied>realise 2/3s of the way through that the game timer will end before we can abuse the infrastructure we've set up, workers are sent screaming into the heart of the star, only further risking game collapse >90 minute run time actually respected, despite being first play>everyone loves it wants to play againSolid first impression, looking forward to the next session and I hope Sol has legs.
>>96484230yippie I'm glad you had fun anon
>>96484230I can also make the Tower of Barad-dûr out of the Stations/Gates, which is just icing on the cake.
>>96483983I want to see all your best bgg edits, anons.Show me what you got!
>>96484230Cole Wehrle approves
has anyone here played this?
>>96483336Imperium horizons and something else
>>96484137RIP Anon :(
>>96484326self-published slop i fear
>>96484326Not a /pol/fag or anything but I couldn't help thinking of this.
>>96484453Kek
>>96484453haha
>>96484326What's going on here? Looks like some kinda pagan ritual. Will my soul be offered to some strange deities if I lose the game or something?
>Favorite game that uses hexagonal tiles?Neuroshima Hex>Favorite card artwork?That upcoming game Fame and Fable seems pretty cool. For published games maybe Inis.>Favorite solo game?Aerion.
