"Ra, Ra, auction game, makes MPS' all feel lame..."
(to the tune of Rasputin by Boney M.)


Previously on bgg: >>96776612

This general encompasses all board game genres - Eurogames, Ameritrash, Ameritreasure, Fillers, Party, Abstracts, Wargames, and especially the game that one anon is autistic about at this very moment.

TQs:
- Was there a time when you misjudged a game? Maybe it became your favorite?
- Which games are you planning to bust out for Halloween?
- Does theme matter to you? What are your limits?
>>
Root sucks

>>96805517
I saw a gay liberal in the gulag whining because a Japanese game set in like early 20th century Europe doesn't have faggot couples lmao wtf

> Does theme matter to you? What are your limits?
Not sure if I have a "limit". It's a case by case thing that I judge when I see. A game about washing the dishes or paying the bill sounds lazy and lame. Either use something traditional in an interesting way or something cool but use your creativity.

I thought Sagrada was going to be good. It actually fucking sucks. Revive, I don't see the appeal. One game that I liked was PiƱa Coladice. I saw it mentioned somewhere but never really put much attention. Then I played it. Really fun game.
>- Which games are you planning to bust out for Halloween?
It is my bd so i wont be playing :)
maybe something light at some point, like a card game
>- Does theme matter to you? What are your limits?
It does matter and everyone saying otherwise is lying to themselves. However, art style matters more.

I enjoyed Ahoy so I really thought I was going to like Root, I tried to, but I fucking hate it.
>- Which games are you planning to bust out for Halloween?
Boo-oop with the wife, Final Girl, Arkham Horror
>- Does theme matter to you? What are your limits?
It does, but not as much as I might think. What I mean is, I get all excited about themes that are in my wheelhouse, and nice art etc. but I often find when playing I half ignore the art and flavour text and such, to just think of a card or a piece or whatever as the mechanic or even the points. That's kinda sad and I want to make myself slow down and engage more.
>>
>>96805854
whats your issue with Ahoy?
>>
>>96805872
Nothing, Ahoy is the one I like, Root is the one I don't.
>>
I've discovered that I really like dice placement. What are your favorite games with this mechanic?
>>
>>96805883
Oops, I should've read more carefully.
>>
>>96805854
Root is a eurogame pretending to be a wargame while 4 players pretend to play a game but it's actually 4 different games.

I thought I hated Terraforming Mars, turns out I played it with an AP-nigger who insisted on playing with absolutely every expansion, with drafting which made everything even slower. I was bored to tears. It's not bad when it's over quickly.
>>
>>96805517
>Was there a time when you misjudged a game? Maybe it became your favorite?
Well I made the huge mistake of initially thinking SW armada was fun and spending money on it. I genuinely can't remember ever disliking a game and coming around to it later. But that's less my amazing judgement and more the fact that game time is too precious to spend it retrying potentially subpar games
>Which games are you planning to bust out for Halloween?
Gotta get Spooktacular to the table again, preferably with 5
>Does theme matter to you? What are your limits?
I'd be lying if I said theme doesn't matter at all, but I see it more as an enhancement of a good game. The coolest theme doesn't really matter if the game is shit, but Ra would still be fun if it was about collecting different tax forms. It will, however, strongly influence which games I do look into. Wouldn't have touched TGZ with a 10 meter pole if it hadn't been recommended to me so often

too long for what is supposedly trying to be a chill game, I like the different workers mechanic aswell as the "cooldown" they have before each can be used again but the game overall is greatly overrated. 6/10
>>96805975
>who insisted on playing with absolutely every expansion
man i hate people who do this, especially when they have first-timers at the table, it shows short-sightedness and lack of consideration for others, but even without first-timers it's a terrible idea with the vast majority of games as it'll inevitably make for a bloated mess

I was looking into tile laying games today because I was in the mood for one.
How come are there so few tile layers above lightweight and even fewer still that use a collective board?
>>
>>96807669
All tile laying games are an outgrowth of dominos, and dominos is not a particularly heavy game, you know?
>>
>>96807694
Pretty weak, here's your puty (you)
>>
>>96807711
If you enjoy dominos I didn't mean to upset you. It's a perfectly good game
>>
>>96807669
I ask myself the same questions. I guess publishers and designers would rather make yet another MPS eurogame or mindless party game with cards.
>>
>>96807669
I'm convinced that something happened that makes producing stiff cardboard prohibitively expensive, hence all the games that use cards as "tiles"
>>
>>96806808
Windward would be amazing for this. Victorian sky whalers and pirates? Hello? It's like producers hate money.

Mid-tier game that is pretty long but always a great time because the theme drives hijinks if you have a relatively fun crowd to play games with. I've never encountered a time where it got played and people were like "I didn't have fun".

>>96808375
>The General Concept of Thoughts
I think it's a neat, themeless game, it didn't sell much because it doesn't appeal to the theme autists and the box art isn't very eye-catching so it also doesn't have mass appeal, I believe the idea of a mps auction game with area control and raid dice is fantastic and I'm surprised it hasn't been used before this
>>
>>96806808
Personally, I'd love to see a show based on the board game, A Game of Thrones.
>>
>>96808245
>$154.99
Wew. This better be good.
>>
>>96808245
It's a lacerda. There's little else to talk about, it very much depends on if you like his designs or not
>>
Is thinking multiplayer solitaire or an auction game?
>>
>>96808613
Depending on the health track, it can be a negotiation game.
Personally, I think there's no actual game there, it's just about the metagame
>>
is the South Tigris trilogy good? I saw an anon say all their games before this trilogy were worthless exercises and they started making proper games here. what's the best of the trilogy?
>>
>>96808672
I'm interested too for just that reason, but I have very little hope that the series suddenly stopped being utter slop
>>
>>96808077
Freya's swamp seemed neat. Different spin of an ostertag design as it looks like. I'd be very suprised if it plays significantly different to the TM series but we'll see. Also screenprinted custom meeples are the best type of component
>>
>>96807669
The reason it's only used in family slop is because it belongs there. It's a shitty mechanism that doesn't lend itself to heavy games. Lirerally on the level of roll-to-move.

What exactly are you asking for here? Do you have a game in mind? What do you like about tile laying that you think should be implemented in heavier games?
>>
>>96808816
Nice bait, retard.
>>
>another "musical" game announced
sigh
>>
>>96809135
and what's wrong with it?
oh you're the theme autist who was complaining about music themed board games like bebop because "you can't actually hear the music" or some shit like that
>>
>>96808816
>The reason it's only used in family slop is because it belongs there. It's a shitty mechanism that doesn't lend itself to heavy games. Lirerally on the level of roll-to-move.
What the fuck, anon

He got raped in Carcassonne once and then promised to hate the entire genre forever lmao

>>96809148
Yes, that's me. I'm correct btw.
>>
I fucking love putting on themed playlists for my games, kino as fuck
>>
>>96809399
I'd like to do so as well, but I'm too autistic for anything but the most background-y ambient music. Never understood how people can listen to music whilst studying, I find it too distracting. Or rather, I'm having a hard time trying to not get distracted by it
>>
I hate games that require soundtrack because you can't play them at the bar.
