Japanese rules have vibes-based scoring, Chinese rules have properly defined scoring.
You can spend years studying the Japanese scoring system and yet not internalize all edge cases, or use the Chinese system and instantly grasp all scenarios.
Most of the time they even end up with the same score.

They didn't get too far to implement into any PnP before release from what I remember but it was stuff that was thematic to each faction, like controlling enough clearings (Basically Domination wincon, but from what I recall reading in the design diary, was originally the idea for the Marquise).

There's also these 4 different wincons Wherle talked about in another diary. The decision to move to VPs was that made the game simlpler to understand and much shorter (after changing to 30vps rather than 40-50)

Apparently Arcs was also better before Why does he always sabotages his own games?
>>
>>96716662
In ancient Go you lost when you ran out of pieces to play. And if both players have their opponents pieces captured the captured pieces are exchanged 1 for 1 to replenish supplies.
Passing was not allowed but you could suicide your pieces which, in any board state where you would actually want to pass, meant you could essentially pass by forfeiting 1 piece from your supply.

Chinese (area) scoring is a way of figuring out which player runs out of pieces first without having to actually play that out.

Japanese (territory) scoring is similar but doesn't attach a cost to passing during the game and doesn't allowing passing during the portion of the game the scoring is shortcutting through.

The real game and the shortcut following different rules gets ugly if both players agree to end the game but disagree on how to resolve the shortcut, because continuing the game could result in a different outcome from the shortcut.
Chinese Go doesn't have this issue because if there is a disagreement you can keep playing the game to see what actually happens.

Is this criticism accurate? I wanted to try Root but now I'm not interested if that's the case >>96715527

>>96717099
What’s the complains over Arcs? Personally, that game feels pretty streamlined and an acceptable duration. The VP system seems to work.
>>
>>96717099
>Why does he always sabotages his own games?
Marketability to the lowest common denominator (retards)
>>
>>96717149
The issue is not that it's about building houses, it's that it's about nothing that makes thematic sense when you boil it down. If it was about controlling the forest as the marquise, or about performing a successful revolution as the woodland alliance, or building an ultimate government system as the Eyrie, it would be about something.

As is, it's just getting some VP for some faction-related action, but the VP doesn't actually represent anything in the game. If you build a bunch of sawmills and get 5 VPs and then other players destroy them, you don't have the map presence anymore but the VPs are still there. And then you get the bash the leader syndrome since it's just a race to 30 points.

I've always felt this but you put it down into words very nicely. The VPs feel... sterile? banal? It's really surprising how popular the game is. The people who say the illustrator's work is the reason for the success are correct, I think.

I actually like the concept of the game or at least my expectation: cute animals but they're fighting against each other very aggressively. Except the game doesn't deliver this promise for me.

I think it's LedgerGames forcing him to make these changes, with Root it was originally a 3 player game but Ledger said it would do better as a 4 player game so they forced him to make the vagabond basically because it least affects the design of the other 3 factions.

Not really, one of the core scoring conditions is removing cardboard gives you points. It's not a braindead "remove everything" game and the core deck sucks and the Vagabond sucks. I'm not saying you should buy it, but it's a good game if you play with E&P and swap the Vagabond with basically anything else.

You don't get the maximum amount of actions in a turn, and there's no guarantee you will have access to a particular action in any given round, specifically building. Most of the people who complain about it would also call contact bridge a "lucky" game, because they are bad at reading the table.

Autistic fixation on history and wars in particular is a socially acceptable form for the older generation, yeah. Automative interest is another one of those. COIN games have the virtue of covering a lot of topics with a central mechanical system that is familiar but changes a little bit with each game. So it's a lot easier to get people into the next one once they've learned one. I'd imagine the underlying psychology is similar to the way female autists get obsessed with Wingspan. They know how to play it and they know they can get anyone basically onboard easy enough, plus it tickles their fixation.

What were your biggest rule mistakes?

> in root: it took me 7 rounds to realize that if the alliance's outrage is triggered and the enemy has no cards, they still get one from the deck and add it to their supporters

we always played it in a way where the eyrie would spend all of their cards, trigger several outrages and the alliance wouldnt get anything. at which point often times its sympathy tokens would also be attacked, which made them pretty much useless. also never added them to the supporters but to my own hand...
>>
>>96718471
Of course.

But what puzzles me is how these channels exist. Noone does +2 videos/week on ks games that'll be forgotten in a month for no compensation. But there seems almost zero benefit for designer/publisher to pay for such a video. Even the aforementioned big shills who, as we've seen with the q*ackalope story take +1k per video, have viewer numbers so low they cannot possibly have a significant effect. As said, there likely is something I am not seeing

Did anyone kickstart and get the French game etherium? My friends and I are loving it. It's a nice little ameritrash hidden programming battle game with a neat visual design of boxes connected together. Also, it isn't sweaty so it doesn't require any mental or math preparation but is very devious so it's a really fun and simple game that you can play within an hour every so often you and your gaming buddies meet up.

this phrase holds about as much meaning as saying "if it's not 0 it's possibly but not conclusively 39635.2312", if i were to say you're wrong you'd just reply "eh! but i only said 'possibly'! so im not wrong!"

Franz-Benno Delonge was one of the designers of Container but died in 2007 (the year Container came out). He has other games such as Fjords which was remade in 2022 or Big City remade in 2019 or Trans America in 2019, and now it's the turn of Container in 2025. I wonder what other games by him will be remade in the future. Manila? Hellas? Dos Rios? Zanzibar? Hellas and Zanzibar might be a good fit for Playte, the Korean publisher which publishes old gems with a new coat of paint that don't use too much space and are on the light side.

This is a tie between Startups and Pax Ren. Startups I just find extremely fun and end up playing too risky. Usually that leads to losses. Same thing with Ren actually, I always see a hint of Reformist Religious victory and go all in, even if there's only one good card for it.

Quinns' RPG channel has more views than SUSD lmao who would've thought. The divorce was good.

Would it be gay to try and host a midnight card club in my town?
The goal is to get young men to play cards and socialize like we were some sort of beavers club (whatever that means but I'm sure your brain conjured an image based off of some cartoons you saw in the 90s) or some shit.
I just wanna play some fucking gin rummy and shoot the shit.
I'm sure I can even get the town hall upstairs to do it. We're an old small town and there were a lot of weddings and dances held there and now it's a history museum.

Unfortunately I don't think hosting a midnight board game club would fly.

start with traditional card games, then light modern card games, then light board games, then medium, then heavy shit.

So haopy with my PnP copy of Pax H+. Friends had trouble learning the names of the actions and I rushed to beat them 4 vs 0 vs 0 to spare them the pain but they enjoyed it regardless and want to play again, we'll see how ti does with normies next public meetup.

This isn't appealing at all.
Do 45 year old women think they're going to get another shot at teen love or some shit?
What the fuck? Why are women so stupid that they would get divorced past the age of 24? It's literally over.

>divorce
Get over it. You made up some shit in your head about something your husband/wife said. Use your words like adults. Real life isn't a fucking movie. It's not like one of you turned to le dark side. Quit drinking.

It's funny to think about "big board games".
Those damn dirty board game jews paying youtubers (one) HUNDREDS of dollars PLUS the copy to keep for their game that will have Seven Thousand and Five Hundred prints made!

>Best of the gipf games?
Dvonn, yinsh, tzaar
>Best hidden gem abstract?
Hard to see what falls into the abstract strategy pile. Gulag has all sort of games tagged. Maybe Glüx? That was popular for a short time. Tatsu, Katarenga?
>Ekö
Never played it but I remember when I lokked into it the game has a 2v2 mode which made me interested.

I thought pyro-clock of destiny straight up gave me an extra turn.
I owe my brother so many asterisks of concedes.

It feels like a good idea of a game that is not well implemented. If you told another designer about this game and have him recreate it, it might turn out great.

wait, did the gulag change the design of the user profiles? i just noticed

the action system is not luck based, most of the cards in the deck are dealt to players so if you need one action in a specific suit you can wait or pass initiative to someone else who will play that suit as a lead card for you to copy, or use one of your cards of that suit as a pivot card. the correct way to think about it is "i get 6 actions per round, maybe more if i get Initiative or have good timing". on top of that 4/5 resources give you extra actions, at the cost of taking one of your earlier tax actions, and you have to have a city on a planet (or control ov an enemy city) to tax the resource from, so if you know that you'll really REALLY need a move action in round 2, try to tax a fuel in round 1, it's almost literal removal of luck from the system.
the court is kinda random, but slow enough to let everyone react to it's randomness, barring certain edge cases every player has a chance to respond to what's going on in the court row before the first player has a chance to secure a card. before he can secure it you can ransack the court, destroy their city to steal a card he was building influence on, and if he does secure the card you can just steal it with a well prepared combat action.
the dice are kinda random, that's why Weapons resource can change ALL actions in your card into combat, so you can keep rolling two or three times in one battle. But, total annihilation is not always the strategic or even tactical goal, sometimes you wanna deal just a bit of damage to get control of the planet, or skip fighting the fleet entirely and go for the steal option, it can seem unfair how a good player can do all these things with the same combat action while a new player can't do that, but the only reason he can't is he keeps forgetting that options exist and you need to set up for those options.

then you must be blind, or you picked a bad set of players to watch
for example in Fire in the Lake, the objectives for United States and Viet Cong are directly opposite (have N points worth of support/opposition in regions) and the objectives for ARVN and NVA are also diametrically opposed (have control of Y points wortrh of regions). So, the players are split into "teams", but not really, as it's good for Americans to let ARVN struggle with control while they pump up the support. So in the middle of an external conflict you also have an internal conflict, plus on top of that you might forego your turn entirely because you want resources and you know next round you'll get a turn before the other players anyways, since you can see the current event and the upcoming event, and event cards determine player order.

I really want to like regular card games (52 card deck) but 100% of the games boil down to "remember every card that was played" and that fucking sucks. Not because it's hard but because that's boring as all fuck. And so the "play" feels like it's always solved. You just play the best card or get rid of your worst card.
Sorry. I just felt like shitting on cards. I hate them because I want to love them. It's a deck that fits in your pocket with thousands of games and each card or suit can represent something in the rules.
>>
>>96721010
Sounds like you need a deck of 100 cards where each card is unique. Go ahead, try card counting with that.
>>
>>96721014
Even a second grader can count to 100

>>96721010
>100% of the games boil down to "remember every card that was played"
mmm what? list the games you played

wtf are you even talking about? it's just some whore posting slutty videos to attract some horny guys in her social circle of followers. it probably worked, he fucked her, she got fucked, and everybody won. she probably cheated on her husband or he cheated and that's why they got divorced, not everything is about imaginary shit in people's minds.

I watched the gameplay and it looks like a clone of Summoner Wars to me.

Tichu is basic deck + 4 cards and it's more than just memorization.

I thought the art was pretty good/comfy

I heavily dislike this flood of marginally different trick takers but card counting isn't really a problem for long; you'll do it intuitively after a while, like reading chess notation. I'd assume most people play intuitively anyway. I supppse the shit part is inbetween these two, someone who wants to card count and has to put in a lot of energy+waste players time doing so

I have a question to FitL enjoyers. I think the game is excellent, but plays way too slowly. A huge part of that is obviously just groking the rules and all the exceptions and getting a feel for what each faction should do.

But the thing that I wonder is about the action cards. We have people sitting from across the table where the cards are not clearly visible or legible, so a really large part of the game is just people getting up, shuffling over to the cards to check what turn order or event is coming up. And then doing it again to recheck. And doing it again every other turn for the new cards. Do you have this issue and how do you deal with it?

I maintain that the interest in rpgs is largely from people who love the idea, lore and exploring the systems while only very very few will actually play them

I remember Quinns having a dedicated shelf full of RPG books he only owned because he liked to read them, the idea of them despite never playing. Pretty sure nothing much has changed there.

That's just an except from his diary by a reddit user dumbass
