"Ra, Ra, auction game, makes MPS' all feel lame..."(to the tune of Rasputin by Boney M.)Previously on bgg: >>96776612This 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
>>96805517I 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.
>>96805517>- Was there a time when you misjudged a game? Maybe it became your favorite?no>- Which games are you planning to bust out for Halloween?none in particular>- Does theme matter to you? What are your limits?no it does not matter
>>96805517- Was there a time when you misjudged a game? Maybe it became your favorite?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.
RA MENTIONED
>>96805588Wow you must be great in a conversation
Thoughts on Obsession?
>- Was there a time when you misjudged a game? Maybe it became your favorite?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.
>>96805854whats your issue with Ahoy?
>>96805872Nothing, 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?
>>96805883Oops, I should've read more carefully.
>>96805854Root is a eurogame pretending to be a wargame while 4 players pretend to play a game but it's actually 4 different games.
>>96805887Saltfjord/Santa MariaTroyesTaverns of TiefenthalWhite Castle
>>96805517>- Was there a time when you misjudged a game? Maybe it became your favorite?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
>>96805807nice theme, a bit over long and too dependent on card variance, 7/10
>>96805887Brew mogs most dice placement games.
what "table hogs" are absolutely NOT worth it?
>>96805517>Was there a time when you misjudged a game?I was wrong about Eclipse Second Dawn for the Galaxy.
>>96805887Under Falling Skies Assault on Doomrock
>>96805775>wOW yU MuST be GReaT iNa cOnVErSatIoNMaybe think up better questions then>>96805916If the fagabond is in play, it's actually 3 players playing an euro while babysitting a retarded child shitting on the table
>>96805807too 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 expansionman 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
What games would you like to have an animated series made for? There should be a Twilight Imperium one where every episode is 4 hours
>>96806808>What games would you like to have an animated series made forGames that I hate, so things like r**t, m*noply, R*sk and so on
>>96806808>a show about the shittiest famous game after Monopolywhy?
>>96805545Let me guess, you just finished the rulebook and think you know how to play the game.
>>96806956Nta but who punches the vagabond?
>>96807338I would if I could but I'm not in a great position right now. Do you think you could do it?
>>96807366Exactly
>>96805887gosh darn CIVOLUTION
>>96806808>Which one of your beloved games will be turned into bastardized slopNone, thank you
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?
>>96807669All tile laying games are an outgrowth of dominos, and dominos is not a particularly heavy game, you know?
>>96807694Pretty weak, here's your puty (you)
>>96807711If you enjoy dominos I didn't mean to upset you. It's a perfectly good game
>>96807669I ask myself the same questions. I guess publishers and designers would rather make yet another MPS eurogame or mindless party game with cards.
>>96807669I'm convinced that something happened that makes producing stiff cardboard prohibitively expensive, hence all the games that use cards as "tiles"
>>96806808Windward would be amazing for this. Victorian sky whalers and pirates? Hello? It's like producers hate money.
any good upcoming eurogames?
>>96808077have you looked at Vantage?
>>96808087isn't that already released and not a eurogame?
what a smug bastard
>>96805807Mid-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".
Thoughts on Speakeasy?
>>96808077City of Big Shoulder reprintArkwright reprintYou could toss World Order in there - should be out in January.
Thoughts on the general concept of thoughts?
>>96808375Thinking about it.
>>96807731I merely thought your post was so stupid it couldn't be anything but bait
>>96808245>Speakeasyis it even out yet?>>96808375>The General Concept of ThoughtsI 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
>>96806808Personally, I'd love to see a show based on the board game, A Game of Thrones.
>>96808245>$154.99Wew. This better be good.
>>96808245It'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?
>>96808613Depending 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?
>>96808672I'm interested too for just that reason, but I have very little hope that the series suddenly stopped being utter slop
>>96808077Freya'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
>>96807669The 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?
>>96808816Nice bait, retard.
>another "musical" game announcedsigh
>>96809135and 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
>>96809167He got raped in Carcassonne once and then promised to hate the entire genre forever lmao
>>96809148Yes, that's me. I'm correct btw.
I fucking love putting on themed playlists for my games, kino as fuck
>>96809399I'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.
Fuck ms nu-euros, what's some good heads up old school euro shit lately that isn't just a reprint
So apparently Arkham Horror LCG will be out of print, except for the latest stuff. Damn.
>>96809786>a company should keep reprinting expansions everyone already has
>>96809875>everyone already hassource?
>>96809990FFG
>>96807338Usually the player sitting to the Vagabond's right. Everyone else can shirk the responsibility off to the player on their left.Sometimes no one does it.
Best games to play with a MILF?
