>>98955409First for fancy meeples are shit. Give me the traditional ones any day.
>>98952496Whats the hate with Meeples?
>>98955342Druid
>>98955342 You called and they >>98955352>>98955361>>98955380Answered!
>>98955421This! Keep it simple!
>>98955409>Favorite meeple gameI don't own any game that uses them because every have played that does use them was dog shit to the point it is a good metric to determine if a game is bad at a glance >Game with the worst meeple?Flick em up Dead of Winter. Any game where setup takes twice as long as gameplay is terrible. FeU DoW is noticeably bad here.>Most useless meeple?Probably Scythe. No reason workers couldn't just be represented as discs for ease of storage and setup. The same could be said of most meeples, I just hate Scythe a lot.
>>98955421Name a game where the meeple could not be a cube instead.
>>98954863>>98954863>I was just gifted my first COIN game "The Guerilla Generation" what can i expect and how difficult is it to learn this system?Nice gift! It varies from COIN to COIN. some of them are more gamey, most are more in the mode of conflict simulations. This one appears to be the latter. Go in with the expectations that there will be more content than you will ever engage with, and that you will be doing more learning than playing for several sessions. Don't approach it in the mindset of playing a board game, it's more about exploring a complex extremely asymmetric set of problems on several different axis having to not just with military conflict but social, political, and economic factors.
>>98955409>favourite Meeple game Do these little guys count or do they have to be made of wood? If they count its Fae, fun area control game where you're moving druids around until they hit critical mass to sacrifice themselves. Everyone's colour is secret and you can move around all the colours so its got a double blind. If plastic almost meeples don't count then Dragon Boats of the Four Seas is pretty good too.>worst & most useless isn't this the same thing? The ones in Attila don't add anything to the game and I would have preferred blocks I think.

I paid the splotter tax after watching the heavy boardgame game. It just looks ,so comfy, selling ducks and cheese while cutting off your friends and take over their productions
>>98955409>Which is your favourite Meeple game?Keyflower Meeple CircusDinosaur Island (they're so cute and tiny)>Game with the worst Meeple?the GWT cowboy hat garbagethe stickers in Village. I custom painted my village meeples to avoid them.>Most useless Meeple!I have 4 giant meeples, like as big as my hand. They make a nice shelf display but I've never had the opportunity to sneak them into game nightanecdote: When I was introduced to Lords of Waterdeep ten years ago before 3d printers were common the guy's buddy who wasn't even into board games had printed little cube sized adventurers in the proper colors. each one had a cutout that indicated the class (like the white had a little cross punchout all the way through) and it was just the most kino board game upgrade I've ever seen- they were just so perfectly color matched and sized but made "sending out your party" so much more engaging. I wish I had pictures. I've seen a lot of LoWD meeple upgrades but none are quite as nice as these were. If only LoWD was a better game I'd buy it and try to reproduce them.
>>98955669So do you have Indonesia ye? because its similar but hilariously vile with the merger mechanisms.
>>98955692Sadly not, but I played it at my boardgame club and it's one of the most elegant designs I've ever seenHonestly I'm just pulling the trigger as soon as they reprint it or tgz, I'm at the stage I don't care about buying more boardgames unless they do something new and different
Is Mage Knight worth it? I've never played a solo game and am intrigued...
>>98955715noat least try it on TTS or something first, god
>>98955717Good idea, I'll do that. Thanks :^)
>>98955717Why no?
>>98955460Meeples are for pawns, cubes are for resources.
>>98955448>I don't own any game that uses them because every have played that does use them was dog shit to the point it is a good metric to determine if a game is bad at a glanceEl grande has meeples
>>98955441...he says, posting needlessly fancy garbage
>>98955729solo games just don't get there.I have several that I respect as designs and regard as among the best of their type, but I just never put them on a table and play them because there's always - ALWAYS - something else that I could be doing that is probably more rewarding.
>>98955741Like vidya?
>>98955751I don't vidya that much recently. I either nolife it or hyperfocus on other hobbies and tasks. Looking forward to a few things. If it came down to Mage Knight or GTA6 it would be mage knight for me tbqh...
>>98955715In my opinion, it's not good. It's hand management with a lot of interconnecting parts that come off as fiddly. It's one of those games that have more complexity for the sake of complexity to make the player feel "smart" and feel like they are making "impactful" decisions but when stripped to its basics the game is straight forward in what you have to do, what you need to accomplish your goals, and you are just clunking away at pretty dog shit hand management game the whole time.>>98955741A solo game built to be a solo game from the ground up like Warp's Edge tends to be better than games with solo variants most of the time.
>>98955767Very apt description. Thanks anon.
>>98955703Does the table space or messy board and fiddlines bother you at all (watching their new game)? What do you think about Antiquity?
>>98955656>(I generally don't like trick-taking games and I imagine this is one of them)Correct.
>>98955561I like to put Fae forward as an example of the gulag being fickle.The only mechanical difference between Clans and Fae is that Fae has a tie breaker for final score.>>98955737Depends on the version.
