Gone on for far too long, its another over produced, under printed edition Board Games GeneralLast time on /bgg/: >>97430572Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/h8Tz2ze8*NEW* Survey results: https://pastebin.com/scAkFdTvTQ:What long standing series needs to be put out to pasture?What series was cut down too soon?What game has the perfect offering of expansion content?
>>97454829I wish I'd played enough board games last year to have had a top 9 to contribute.
I found a friendly group at my local hub and I played Modern Art for the first time. It was my first Knizia game. Seemed cool!
>>97454829>What long standing series needs to be put out to pasture?Arkham Horror. It's obscene and it fills so much shelf space at stores. >What series was cut down too soon?Chad Jensen. >inb4 series >What game has the perfect offering of expansion content?Amusingly, I'm going to say COIN. It's hard to point to a bad one, perhaps Falling Sky or Red Dust Rebellion? And even then you still get new mechanics in each new release that work. Are any of the 13 games redundant? All of them seem to be doing something different enough to justify existing.
>>97454895You could have left some spots blank.
>>97454985Back up this slur on Falling Sky's honor with facts, or remain forever silent, knave. COIN's more of a series than a single game with expansions anyway.
>>97454985Red dust is bad because of its designer. And I would love to get the behind the scenes reasons why they gave the keys to him when his only relevancy is doing stupid 3 minute youtube. Even his designer diaries were insultingly bad. And then on top of it the first scifi version being trusted like that. What a stupid ass risk for them to take , I dont get the logic
>>97455092>GMT>quality controllol that company is literally nothing if Herman and Chad and Volko didn't work with them.
Yesterday I went to the local boardgame club for the first time, we played a 4p el grande (which I won by 4 point after not being in the lead for the entire game) and a 5p up or down (which I finished last). I'll have to pay 35 eurobuck for the registration fees but it looks like it's my best shot to find people to play with regularly
>>97455656I would also argue simonitch is carrying them hard lately with accessible, logical, relevant designs.So much of their recent releases are just bad. I dont have the words for it ,but like games that dont execute well at all, and bad value. Unconditional surrender, seljuk, hubris (lol that designer) , fighting formations... Like what are those games even doing. Then theres the decision to just start making these ridiculous mega packs for everything. Like no, fuck you for bundling three games together so I get fucked on shipping and have to pay like 200+ usd in local currency to bail out your poor business running skills and inabiliy to manage risk. letting the pred run the newsletter is hilarious content
>>97455656>without their 3 best designers they're nothing Is there a company you COULDN'T make this dumb shit post about?
>>97457463You think you're being clever but historical wargaming is a very different world than your Wehlre Lucerda whatever stuff is jerked off lately.The big companies very much have a roster of designers for decades and when they freelance or are allowed to take a design elsewhere it is considered a big deal.When volkos (I think) pirate game got pulled from GMTs p500 2 years ago they made sure when it got picked up again they advertised the competitor on their newsletter that he was going to release under.Or tldr, most boardgaming is like golf or racing sports team for personnel importance, wargaming is like the nba or nhl. And this whole post is ignoring all the reasons GMT is problematic and very much is shockingly somehow still afloat but I dont want to trigger the anon from last night
>>97454829Amazing op pic, kek
>>97456668>up or down (which I finished last)I don't know what the fuck you're supposed to do in that game anon. The best I've ever done is second place by picking colors no one else wanted but the guy who got first that game wasn't doing that.
>>97457769I think you're supposed to pick 1 high and 1 low starting number then use the third column as flex but I honestly refuse to use my brain and think too much for lightweight fillers
Trio is actually pretty good
>>97457920I'm not going to buy it but I wouldn't turn down an offer to play it either.
>>97457541That's a lot of text to admit you can't answer the question. I'll just go ahead and do it then, no, there isn't a game publisher out there who would be in good shape if you took their top 3 designers out of the catalog. What was your point?
great game night last night lads>regicide>dungeon fighter 1d8 edition>things in rings>grand austria hotel>dice town
