Do you own any video game inspired tabletop games?
I have the Bloodborne board game from that one Kickstarter.Haven't played it and it takes up room in my closet but the miniatures are cool.
>>726027671>Plastic figurinesBiggest red flag in all of board gaming.
Does Battletech count?
>>726027832I heard good things about the Bloodborne card game, and I think it's the same designer so it's probably pretty good too, why haven't you gotten to play it yet?
>>726027671No but I own a video game based on a board game.>>726027931Yeah probably.
>>726027982I tried getting some friends together to play it but making their schedules line up was a nightmare, so instead it sits in my closet, but it's still at the back of my mind. The build quality is pretty great too.
>>726027671a couple, but none of them have been that good yet I continue to buy them because of reasons>>726027982what good things have you heard about it? I've played it a couple of times but it's basically a damage meter game, where the one with most dps gets the most blood and wins
I have the Slay the Spire board game, which is actually really fucking good
>>726028459>what good things have you heard about it? That it's mix of solid mechanics while keeping the game short, interactive and fun. It was made by a dude with tons of popular board games too so people that talked to me about it probably know the history behind the design.
Has anybody played the Tomb Raider card game? It's not a random MtG knockoff and apparently you have to navigate levels like you do in the actual game.It's super old and expensive to get though.
>>726027671I have the deep rock galactic one. Its pretty fun and the minis are cool. I dont have any friends to play it with though so I just awkwardly play it by myself and control the 4 dwarfs as if there was 3 other people with me.
>>726027671I don't own any board games period because I can play them all on Tabletop Simulator and Board Game Arena.
Speaking of board games, the digital version of Wingspan is on sale, it's a really comfy card game about birdshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1054490/Wingspan/
>>726028398>>726029397>Love board games>Always reading about and buying board games>I never actually get to play them because I have no friends
>>726029529Physical copy and playing in person will always be superior to TTS/BGA. And I've played a ton of TTS.
>>726029849I found 3 other misfits with the same issue at a conference (we all pick the same table in a corner), but I think they were also autistic as no one reached out, just confirmed that they had the same issue
>>726029849anon, just go to meet ups and make friendsit's not that hard
>>726029529Why would anybody play board games online when video games exist?
>>726030028>no one reached out, just confirmed that they had the same issuekek>>726030041 This proves that people are alone by choice.
>>726030048vidya doesn't scratch the same itch
>>726029849I sort of have the same struggle even if their schedules don't line up. I want to play some games so badly but it's hard to get enough people interested.
>>726030048same reason people read books when movies exists, they are smart enough to be able to do it
>>726030484>Board games are for smart peopleLol, lmao.
>>726030560>t. anon that would be filtered by any GMT game
>>726029947That said TTS is the best resource to playing and exploring new games. Scheduling irl can be a bitch but you can always find somebody to play online with.
>>726030180Especially now that couch coop is pretty much dead and gone.
>>726027671Anno 1800 is really good, I think that was based on a video game.
Slay the Spire is pretty great as a board game, had a lot of fun playing this co-op with 2, 3 or 4 people at the same time. Felt pretty balanced for each player count.
>>726030643I agree on exploring new games. I've bought several after trying them out virtually.
>>726027671Table top simulator has destroyed any reason to buy them.
>>726030041The few I've gone to are always the same, people that go there go in groups of already made friends and just play together. Even if you manage to get accepted to a table, they don't want to exchange contact after.I don't want to give up but going to meetups and keep feeling like the weird alone guy that is looking for games hurts more and more every time.
>>726027671Witcher the Old World. It's okay, kinda like Talisman without that retarded movement and with nicer miniatures. I still prefer Runebound 3 ed to be honest.
>>726027671How is this compared to something like Final Girl?
>>726031040>they don't want to exchange contact afteroof, yeah i feel thati went through 3 groups before i found a couple of guys that weren't cunts
>>726030763>Designed by Martin WallaceThat's how you tell it's gonna be a good ass time
>>726027982The card game is really fun but it only really works with 4 players so I don't get to play it very often
>>726030631idk what your fart huffing shit is but at the end of the day you're still moving pieces on a board and rolling dice like a fifth grader.
>>726031234Final Girl is solo only for starters. Dead by Daylight is 1 vs many game, without official solo mode.
>>726031040i friend made me dance with a cougar
>>726031032None of the people I play board games with have a pc or laptop capable of running table top simulator, or feel any urge to get one. That, and I play board games while hanging out with my friends, I'm not all that interested in doing that with strangers over the internet. Still plenty of reasons to buy physical board games, in the grand scheme of things a few new games a year split between several people makes for a dirt cheap hobby.
we only play love letter and for sale. ain't nobody got time to learn complex shit.
>>726031275>rolling diceLMAO, look at this ameritrash player
>>726030631>GMTranny thinking they are smartI agree that retards can't into board gaming but come on now.
It's cool.
>>726031359yeah playing video games is much more mature
>>726031517whoops. meant for >>726031359
>>726030631Based GMT enjoyer.Too bad their covers are now getting more and more ugly and 3D.
>>726027671No but I recently backed a game that's heavily inspired by Balatro. It's a poker deckbuilding game with cards that have special effects
It's actually pretty good solo and includes official art and the actual missions and scenarios from shadow moses including the boss fights.It's pretty cool and the minis are also great looking. Got it for 90 bucks which is a pretty good deal desu
Not the most difficult board game by any means, even on the hardest I could beat it consistently. Granted our group is pretty in tune with each other and plays to win / efficiently. Nice relaxed co-op game regardless.
>>726029397I thought it was designed to be playable solo as well, but I haven't tried that. I've played it with a friend, both controlling one dwarf and with each controlling two, and both ways were fun. It seems well designed and I liked painting the models.
>GMT games be like
>>726032016would play
>>726032065Solo multihanded
>>726032016>6 and a half playerdon't know why i need a midget, but that's fine. just gonna call my mexican buddy
>>726027671I backed the recent HoMM III board game. Iirc there was some ancient HoMM III board game from decades ago, but nobody knows anything about that one. Anyway, it's kind of bad. It fails to capture the exploration feel of the game. The maps are tiny and open and locations are not gamey enough. Also it captures TOO well the freak random lost combat -> instant loss -element of the original game. Game choices seem to be either too obvious, and there's too much full rng with nothing to play around.>>726029719Wingspan is very bad. Play any 20 euro games and you'll end up ranking wingspan in the bottom 3. Moves are too blatant and railroaded and there's dumb opening topdecking, where some people get production birds and win, others don't and lose.>>726030048Video games dilute game mechanics. This wasn't always so. Some older games were a lot more pure, so to speak, and gave you that gaming hit without cut scenes, trivial walking or clicking segments. You just made a lot of interesting game decisions. Modern euro games are basically distilled pure game mechanics. Game starts, you instantly make big decisions. And 2 excellent players don't necessarily make the same decisions.
>>726031829I was afraid that after playing the campaign I'd never touch it again but ended up playing it like 60+ times with multiple people, both the story mode and the scenario missions. I'll still bring it out sometimes because I really like stealth game and that genre is really underused in board gaming.
>>726027671>Board game thread>on a /v/eekend>No TTS Lobby
>>726031716name?
>>726032340https://gamefound.com/en/projects/gem-games/decko
>>726032295I don't think any anon ITT would actually boot up TTS to play something together.
>>726032178Can you explain a bit more on why Wingspan isn't that great? Essentially you're saying there's no real choices to be made unless you play poorly on purpose, and winning has more to do with who gets lucky on draws?I've seen that game shilled everywhere and nearly bought it on several occasions but always hessitated since something felt off. That, and I dont want another engine builder game where people kind of play along side each other, got enough of those and while I enjoy them occasionally it does get a bit stale after a while.
>>726031509At least play some Ra too, anon.
>>726032143the half player is because of the one who represents the gay population can basically get locked out of the game if the scientist proves that aids comes from gays, and the gay population doesn't get a safe haven among the rapists of africa
>>726032581For me, it's just too basic of a game. You have all of 3 rows to put cards into play, and the cards in each row auto-chain their mechanics with each other. There are so many better Euros with more complex decisions to be made, with higher frequency.
>>726032581There's cheap birds that give you +1 egg/food when you do one of the basic 3 actions. Even if you don't draw one, you'll be pressing those 3 actions all the time, gaining 2-3 eggs or food when your opponent who pulled one gets 3-4. The advantage becomes very obvious very fast. You probably can't even topdeck yourself out of that, the advantage is just too huge after few rounds. Not to mention everything seems to just revolve around topdecking. There's hardly choices to be made. Play the bird that matches scoring. That's too simple. Trillions of games have random cards from a deck, several of my favorites have one (Terraforming Mars and Ark Nova, for example). All of those games involve a lot of decisions before you rely on topdecking anything, and you might even choose not to topdeck in lot of situations.I like birbs and wanted to learn some new species, so I really wanted to like Wingspan. Played like 6 games, talked with several board gamers, and I just can't. I tested Finspan once too, it seems to be more in balance but still feels kind of flat. Games will probably feel a bit samey... but at least it seems to be more in balance. Played just 1 game though.
>>726033013I was thinking of taking things one step above with either Ra, Modern Art or Medici. I don't know which would be the most fun to play bit Medici is currently in the lead because it allows for more players.
>>726032016Funny thing is there's actually 2 different games made about faggots dying to AIDS.
>>726029849Depending on where you live, there are several board game/MTG/pokemon stores throughout the city I live in that host a game night with several board games every week/month.
>>726030048Because only HOMM and Disciples hit the same way as good euro strategy game, and there is no vidya multiplayer equivalent to autistic wargames
>>726033174>>726033181Thanks, I'll pass on that game then.
>>726033360>Cole WherleThe Root guy??!?!
>>726033360>Molly house Game where you win by hanging gays and trannys is like opposite of dying to aids
>>726033718Are you surprised?
>>726032486I might boot up VASSAL or we can go play Few acres of snow/Sekigahara on yucata
>>726027671>playing a shittier version of a shit gameHow terrible must one’s life be?
Mage Knight is essentially Heroes of Might and Magic 3. It captures HoMM gameplay loop way better than the official tabletop release and has way less bloat and housekeeping. >Leveling up adds cards to your deck>Go around interacting with locations on the board>Recruit units >Equip loot, learn spells>Assault citiesIt's pretty great, but has a steep learning curve. I made some cards holders from foam just to keep the table tidy.
>Wanted to play Twilight Imperium for a long while>Friend schedules out of whack, any big time we're together devoted to ttRPGs or vidya>Don't have the time to teach all the rules>Just learned there's a digital version on the wayHope it's good. Would save a lot of headache for setup, teardown, and turn management.
>>726034372I'm that HoMM backer and yeah, you are probably right. Only played Mage Knight once, but it felt pretty good and HoMM -like. I don't think we have it in my current groups, but I'd play if someone brought it to game nights.
the Mario Kart variation of monopoly is honestly better than the base game.
>>726034709how?
>>726034418There is "async TI4" available on Discord. But I'm also waiting on the digital version to release. Hopefully it's good. It will be only the base game available initially though.
>>726034798I think the race mechanic is a fun way to limit the game's length so it doesn't extend for hours and hours.
>>726034914No Prophesy of Kings? That's a shame.Heard that really improves the game.
>>726034147I really like the TTS mod for Sekigahara, they made it so the blocks are actually hidden from the other player so you can stack blocks however you want.
>>726035070If a game needs an expansion to be good, it never was a good game to begin with. this is fact.
>>726035389'Expansion improves' doesn't mean 'base game is bad', Anon.
I recently went to a board game day in my town. Some guys were shilling their own board game they've been developing for the past one and a half years. They brought two prototypes.Was pretty fun honestly. A mashup of area control and deck building with a tech tree.My exhaust beast deck ended up being pretty good.
>>726035560That looks really good. The prototypes I've played at my meetups are sadly not very good. They are mostly extremely simple party games that won't see more than 2 plays in their lifetime. There is a guy there that made a heavier euro game but has been testing it for 8+ years and he still doesn't want to attempt to publish it. I think he just likes testing.
>>726027671You could say I'm a real gamer.
>>726027671I had picrel as a kid.
I have The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era. Have played 5 or so games and it's been a blast so far. Pretty expensive however, but the components are all top tier quality. I really liked their older game Too Many Bones and this is mostly just that but more.
For me, it's pirating board games digitally instead. I've been having some reasonable fun this week with Arkham Horror, which if you want to buy it costs like 500 bucks because it's a deck building scam where they nickle and dime you on the cards, or you can download the TTS mod for free and have the board auto set itself up for each scenario.I get that people like physical games, but honestly, thank god for TTS and BGA.
>>726036464I always wanted to play the Japanese version.
>>726030978I'm waiting on a good deal for it since I'm A) poor B) want something not many other board gamers have so I can actually bring something.
>>726037093>>726030978Didn't the actual video game made an update that lets you play with the board game rules multiplayer?
>>726032295I'd play if somebody hosted
>>726027671Imagine if the DBD board game was online, not a single match ever would be completed because of all the babies ragequitting over the most mundane shit.
>>726037241I only know of the tabletop simulator one they used to test board game before release.
>>726036971neeeeat
>>726037241No?
>>726037498They should make a L4D Versus mode board game with actual rage quit mechanics
>>726036673TTS just won't ever be better than the tactile feeling of playing physical over the board. The actual lifehack is using physical components with software that automates housekeeping, like X-haven for Gloom/Frosthaven games.
>>726031537GW deliberately just culling their one-off tabletop games repeatedly makes me mad because they're always ridiculously expensive when they're gone.
>>726037765A true hobbyist would just 3D print their own board anyway.
>>726037765I got a friend who didn't care about warhammer quest cursed city, but when they pulled it from the shelves almost at once he started to go rabid and bought one second hand for more than twice the pricethen when they started to sell them normally again he bought 5 copies to "sell later on"
>>726038270>I got a friendIf you want people to read your post, don't open with a lie.
>>726038373but my girlfriend told me its the best way to get attention here
>>726038270He bought models as a commodity and not as a hobby?You are friends with a moron anon.Oh and the Binding Of Issac Four Souls game is actually a fun game provided you rip to pieces the random Treasure Soul.
>>726037484Hypothetically speaking, purely as a a mental exercise, what board games would /v/ play in a theoretical tabletop game meetup?
>>726037093I bought it for 100 euros at the time, a bit on the expensive side but its a really good game and several of my friends were excited to play too. The game requires sleeving your cards though, and the sleeves that come with it are awful. They're falling apart even after only playing 7 or 8 times. The rest of the components are good quality at least.>>726037241I dont think so no, several of the cards are different than the game ones.
>>726038783But I didn't eat breakfast.
>>726038603>Oh and the Binding Of Issac Four Souls game is actually a fun game provided you rip to pieces the random Treasure Soul.I'm not familiar with the card game and considering I'm plently familiar the art doesn't really register as something special but I find the thought amusing to bring it to a board game meetup. There's some real everything must be happy and nice boomers there. They'll probably puke seeing some weird fetus art.
>>726038783>/v/ would just literally only play Catan for hours on end
>>7260387836 Siege the board game
>>726038783I'll play any board game at least once.
>>726037241No but there is a mod that does convert it to the board game incarnation, just without coop.
>>726038783Probably some super light games like 7 Wonders, Carcassonne, Catan, or Love Letter.Maybe some dudes might stick around and learn something a little heavier like Dune Imperium or Great Western Trail.Nobody ever could play Twilight Imperium or Brass.>>726039082Go play Campaign for North Africa and let me know how it goes.
>>726038270Cursed City got a x10000 price multiplier 2nd hand because GW "forgot" to announce they're not planning to reprint it unitl after it already sold out on their store. Which sent scalpers to a frenzy. The fucking instrudction booklets were listed on ebay for like $100.2 years later after the China/Brexit shitshow got delt with GW just repritned it as if nothing happened, so hording it was a bad idea
>>726038078Nobody actually plays Space HulkIts too hard
>>726039198>Go play Campaign for North Africa and let me know how it goes.Sure, man, set it up on the next meet up :^)
>>726039198I've played all of those games you've mentioned so it's not unrealistic for a /v/ meetup to actually involve a heavier game.The issue is moreover a matter of population selection. If it's truly a random selection good fucking luck going further than entry-level hobby games, but if you're selecting specifically from people who would personally go out of their way for a board game meetup you could expect to have some people who are not only comfortable with medium-weight games and higher but may well be interested in trying out new ones, provided that there's someone who could do the teach.Super heavy-weight games will absolutely be a bit out of most people's wheelhouse, especially for one with a deep time investment like TI. That's more /tg/'s territory
>>726027671Yeah, I've gotPac-Man (1982)The Legend of Zelda (1988)Super Mario Bros (1988)The Tower of Druaga (1985)Pac-Land (1986)Dragon Buster (1986)The Adventure of Valkyrie (1987)Super Xevious (1987)Dragon Quest Dungeon R (2006)Dark Souls: The Board Game (2017)Resident Evil 2: The Board Game (2019)Resident Evil 3: The Board Game (2021)Resident Evil: The Board Game (2023)Shovel Knight: Dungeon Duels (2021)Sonic the Hedgehog: Crash Course (2018)
>>726029719Birds Are Not That Important
>>726038783How about instead of a board game you play a ttrpg (since those ones are where most of the old classics came from, like Fallout 1 being a modified GURPS ruleset)?Just use Roll20 if you don't want to spend money or FoundryVTT if you're more serious about it.I've got like, 20k hours in the hobby GMing, and I can say with certainty that the freedom given is greater than any RPG you can play on vidya.So long as you find a good group of course; if the people you play with are dogshit you'll have the most miserable time in your life.
>>726036971If you got Tabletop Simulator, there's a good translation of it on there.
>>726038916I don't know about a card game exactly, Four Souls is akin to Munchkins but with dice rolls being the battle determiner rather then just hard scorelines.It works as an intro game because it's mechanically simple but allows for some spiteful moments between players that hopefully your group actually enjoys.
>>726027671no but i got once duped into playing the dark souls boardgame (it sucked)
>>726039706Is a single one of those any good?
>>726040015NTA (I'm >>726036464), but I can say with total certainty that the Zelda game sucked.
>>726038921>Catan>>726039198>7 Wonders, CarcassonneFucking eurogames.I don't want passive agressive expansion.I don't want to receive three gold and two carrots at the end of my turn.I want hex & counter war.
>>726038783Clank for a light fair game.Treasure Island assuming the person who plays Long John actually knows that they are meant to lose and it's still a blast.
Why hasn't Nintendo tried board games again? It doesn't have to be Mario Party irl, but with so many IPs getting bg adaptations and actually doing well it's weird that Ninty hasn't attempted to make an actually good Zelda or Mario board game.
I was surprised how little board game enthusiast overlap with vidya enjoyers. I know there was big board game boom but still. The more boomer types I can understand but all these 30-40yr olds neck deep in board games but never play vidya is just surprising to me.
Reminder, if the rules takes more than 1 minute to explain then it's a shit game.>>726038783Azul.
>>726038783I'm bringing Sidereal Confluence and all you niggas are going to play it.
>>726029849A lot of solo board games, stuff like Cartographer is great even in Solo, but you have Solo only Board games like Final girl.
>>726040015Pac-Man is goodZelda and Mario suckDruaga is okayI'm waiting on friends to be available to try out Pac-Land in TTSDragon Buster, Valkyrie, and Xevious I've yet to translateDragon Quest is kino that plays a bit similar to Battleship in a wayDark Souls sucks and is fucked in someway no matter how you houserule it, which is a shame cause when it isn't sucking ass, its very enjoyable.The Resident Evils are good if you like the resource management of old RE gamesI sadly never got the chance to actually play Shovel Knight with the group I was initially going to play it with and I feel like its a game that would work better irl than in TTSSonic I only got to play like twice but its at the very least decent
Is this the thread for me to express how much I hate Frosthaven for adding an overly annoying "Town" phase because of Kingdom Death?They already had a great game in the dungeon diving and the tacked on bullshit of "crafting automatically is better" has ruined how loot is done in the dungeons because my group has no desire to interact with the town mechanics.
>>726039309I have the boyfriend of a friend who play it. He's a smart dude, like we cant play board games with him because he "solve" them too fast. He play Agricola like 9 times a day on his computer.
>>726040775So play a social puzzle game like Blood on the Clocktower or One Night Werewolf and let his autistic mind break when he learns that people can lie and he doesn't have actual perfect information for a situation.
>>726038783Pax Renaissance and yes I will take 20min per turn
Not videogames but Marvel Champions is pretty damn fun, I'd recommend if you have a few other friends interested on it
>>726040930Nah he refuse to play social games in general unless his girlfriend force him. I'm a fan of Medium games and of Anti Coop games with potential traitors like Battlestar Gallactica or Dead of Winter ect. There is some games he really like who are really light, like Dungeon Drop. But in general he hate random social games like Dixit.
>>726027671Well, Unmatched plays sorta like a mix of MtG and Fire Emblem, does that count?(and it did have 2 Witcher crossover expansions)
I have Armello and The Last Spell boardgames coming soon.I reall fucking wish Solium Infernum had a boardgame though.
>>726029719I tried getting into this game cause I love birds, but despite being a big tabletop fag, I just couldn't get into it.
>>726029849Try looking into board game cafes in your area. Usually they'll have listing for people who wanna meet up and play stuff. So long as you arent a turbo weirdo, should be ok.
>>726038783pleb shit like UNO
>>726041142That doesn't surprise me at all and is exactly why I suggested them.He wants a perfect puzzle to solve so offering him an imperfect one would probably do a great job in shifting his comfort zone.Have you actually had a good round of Dead of Winter using the traitor mechanic? I've only played with it twice and both times the traitor thing felt unfun rather then compelling compared to when we were purely a team.
>>726041487UNO is good though.
>>726041487
>>726041206It's a solid game and this seems to just be a non /tg/ boardgame thread so YES. Unmatched is great to play and I'll take my gay Greek boys everytime.
>tfw no friends
>>726031040>That webmDamn, made me feel like shit. Props to the guy for not giving up.
>>726027671I don't own any. There's nobody to play with. I feel like the entire world of tabletop gaming is locked away for me.
>>726030978How well does skill from the videogame carry over? I got hundreds of hours and cleared A20. And even outside of it being challenging for me if I play with others who haven't played sts before would the skill level just be immediately uneven?
>>726041775>>726041995I could host something on Tabletop Sim if you guys want. Probably some easier game like Clank or Hansa Teutonica.
>>726039198Dune Imperium and GWT are great. Brass too. Why do you think Brass is more complex than GWT? GWT is far harder to play well. Easy to execute a turn sure, but you'll get trashed if you don't think about future constantly.Why was TI listed? It's some 12h gay ameritrash where game mechanics are just "talk to people lmao". YWNBAEG.
>>726041775What about us?
>>726041453>only ones in the area are heavy into TCGs and minis with traditional all-in-one-box games getting relegated to a small shelf in the backI hate it here, and I really don't want to travel 2 hours to travel to a different store in a bigger town just to see if it has the same exact problem.
>>726027671I own Tabletop Simulator. I don't need to own board games.
>>726042245Its a fully cooperative game, and skill level definitly does carry over. Only one of my other 3 friends playing hasn't played the videogame but he caught up quickly. Since its cooperative you'd be helping your fellow players get better at playing and making choices. Since there's an ascension and card unlock system you don't need to toss them in the deep end straight away. You're going to have a pretty good grasp of strategy but some cards are still tweaked, numbers are different and balance is changed and some cards just do completely different things than in the game. Higher ascensions are still going to be tough for all but the most veteran players. How much you get out of it depends on how much patience you can muster seeing other players make choices you know from experience might be suboptimal. I don't regret buying it to play with co-op friends, that alone is novel enough to make it worthwhile
>>726040198>I don't want to receive three gold and two carrots at the end of my turn.Fucking HYPEKevin only got 1 carrot, he can't fund the trading post next turn
>>726042281Host a game of Clank and I'm in
>>726041625I find that using the low % chance of Traitor in Dead of Winter is actually scarier than the high%. There MIGHT be one, but we should all coop. But the personal goals ruin the whole thing and people turn unto each other. It's pretty fun. Battlestar is fun too, but it's actually guaranteed to get a traitor, so less "stressful" to some degree
>>726042245It will be a delight in what they translated over but it is it's own animal.Ironclad exhaust infinites, Watcher stance dancing and Discard Silent are still "doable" but really not the same.Relics are very very different and will be the biggest hurdle you run in to, until a few of the fundamental changed cards show up and hurt your mind.The boardgame is getting a Downfall, play as the bosses, expansion soon and with it a reprint of the OG game so if you want look out for that.
>>726043112Never played Battlestar before but I might look into it. I'm the leading force for my group so I like scouting new shit.Both of my DoW games with the traitor played out as perfectly normal co-op games that were poisoned in like the last day by burning food or something painfully "fuck y'all move" and so left us feeling annoyed rather then invested.I like the idea of some contributions being poison to the daily event but it never seemed to fully play out that way.One of the best board game experiences our group has had is the first round the Betrayal At House On The Hill Legacy that I won't spoil but holy fuck does that perfectly do paranoia and 2nd guessing every move others make.
>>726043059I will in a bit, doing something right now.
>>726042912>>726043297Alright, thank you for your insights. I keep an eye out for the reprint or maybe even a good used copy.
Recommend me something based on my 3x3 >Go to /tgg/ No, I want to see /v/'s powerlevel
>>726040519Damn, that's like over 5k worth of shit isn't it?
>>726038078>theirhis
>>726039207>new warhammer quest reveals>one of the models is an ugly bulldyke againI don't get it. Why does every set need one? Her face sculpt is so horrendously ugly, I can't imagine anyone using it. The other models look really nice though.
>>726043813Fuck your grid and play Treasure Island.It's clue but way way way wayyyyyy more compelling.
>>726043813Oh and Undaunted Normandy for an actually solid 1v1 deep war game.
>>726044171>I don't get it. Why does every set need one?Troon-coded hobby. The only non-fag created GW product was Mordheim.
>>726044002Oh easy 10k I think. I need to redo my shelves.
>>726044475Did you actually play most of these more than a handfull of times?
>>726033845/bgg/ finally finished the lewd mod by the way. I don't have the full thing, you'd have to ask them.
>>726044709A good 20% unplayed, 50% like 2-3 times, and 30% at least 10-20 times easy. I need to find a better group, but stuff like Wingspan, Cartographer, Pathfinder, Eldrich Horror, Arkham Horror are all fun in solo.My schedule sucks right now for board game, so I stopped buying them. BTW, Room 25 is a great CUBE board game. If you liked the movie, you'll like it.
Can you play this by yourself?
>>726043813Merchants & Marauders
>>726045149DbD? Nah. Need a killer and like 2 survivors.
>>726027671Resident Evil 2The Elder Scrolls Betrayal of the Second Era (pretty awesome game)Bloodborne board gameDark Souls Card gameThat's all I think. I got well over 200 board games but vidya board games are usually outright bad. TES is a standout for being a damn good board game mainly because it was built on the bones of an already damn good game (Too Many Bones) and it is basically an evolution of that game.
>>726027982Bloodborne card game is a pretty terrible redesign of a game called Cutthroat Caverns that played much, much better.The board game is okay at best. It is a race against time and kind of punishes exploration. Pretty clumsy mechanics on the whole.
>>726044958How casual friendly is this? One of the lads start zoning out when things become too mechanical and complex. BoardgameGeek rates this at a 1.93/5 which is pretty light but I'm not sure how accurate that is. The game looks neat at least.
>>726046053It's really easy. It's mostly a social game. You start in the middle, and try to find the exit, but each room has some effect like in the CUBE movie.
>>726027671No. The closest was when I bought, painted and gave as a gift some off-brand "Fallout" models to my brother.
>>726027893We call that "ameritrash" forna reason.
>>726027671I have the Doom 2016 boardgame. I played it like 2 or 3 times but the figures were great for painting
>This many board gamers on /v/I thought the vidya/board game division was a real thing.
>>726047023If you like Civ and have a few friends of the same mindset it's not that hard to transfer over beyond someone willing to invest in cardboard.Be that friend anon. Couch co-op and real life laughs are worth a thousand hours being annoyed in a MOBA.
>>726047023Video games are not allowed on /v/
>>726027671My ex invited me over to play board games once and I thought she meant like, candyland. Then she whips out this kind of shit and I realized how fucking stupid I was, I cannot figure out these kinds of board games for the life of me but everybody around me is into them.
>>726043813oathsworn
>>726031015Same. There are several i really want to get a hold of. Also some i never would have gotten to play thanks to them being out of print for god knows how long.
>>726047706Man if someone invited me over board games and its fucking monopoly or candy land I'd be so pissed. They're usually no more difficult than video games but some games are absolute shitters to figure out as a first time player I'll give you that. Any decently complex game usually comes with a cheat-sheet that tells you what you can do in your turn and in what order at least.
>>726048068I think it was this shit. It was one of those board games where it's everybody pitted against you, and I was the one everybody was pitted against. In the end I just watched and drank.
>>726048279Betrayal is like casual casual entry level thing. It's scooby doo, and everybody a little snob in Boardgames believe it's bad because it's random as fuck and unbalanced. Love that game.
I used to have this one
>>726048279Thats a hugely popular one yeah, its not so bad once you start playing. If this is your first venture beyond Uno or something then getting immediatly singled out is rough. Maybe boardgames aren't your thing in either way this would've gone though.>>726048362Its kind of fun reading trough the scenarios, they get pretty goofy and dumb but I get why people love it. Games don't need to always be balanced to be fun especially something like this.
>>726048735This ones the fucking GOAT
>>726047023Ackxschully, I'm just here for the culture war, and also happen to play board games. I don't play video games.Here's Brass: Lancashire rules explaining how loans work, complete with smug Nathan Rothschild next to them.
>>726048802It's random fun. Nothing serious, the kind of game you play at Halloween.I even have 3 versions of it. The Legacy is really fun to play through.
>>726048926Found the digimon version a couple of months ago. Pretty cool.
>>726033845>Not "The Sexpansion"Creativity is dead
>>726048973One of my friends commented his favourite feature of brass birmingham is that the player tokens have two different sides so you never have to play as a woman.
>>726043297>downfall expansionneatI dunno if I can justify picking it up for my group, we have so many games to pick from that it's hard to get many games tabled more than 5 times.
>>726048279So Betrayal is not balanced. It doesn't have a great end game, earlier versions have annoying to understand rules for some haunts and it has player elimination that I usually hate.But it is so invocative that my group still gets a laugh whenever the Lab tile is found behind the Secret Door event and because the 1st game of the Legacy version has one of my fondest boardgame memories.
>>726049723Honestly it probably isn't worth it and if you've never done a real life co-op run of Slay I recommend that before.I've spent many nights with a buddy aruging over ever card pick and play just for us to die to the Act 2 boss and my friend insisting that we reload and let him "properly" pilot the deck for that attempt.
>>726044913Actually, it was /vm/ who continued working on it. I guess they go to both threads though.
>>726033845>Roots: The Sex Expansion>naked Kunta Kinte
>>726050489Dibs on the boar
>>726031040This is just a humiliation ritual.Going outside is a humiliation ritual even if you're average looking and white.
>>726048735Could never finish a game because it lasted so long and the Elite 4 was too strong.
>>726031716Got my two copies of that since I don't want to fall victim of eBay prices. My family loves poker, and this is a good way to introduce them into deck building.>inb4 shilltranny buy an ad ahh uncY'know, sure. Play the game on TTS and tell me how it goes.
I've never played the video game, but I rather enjoy this one.
>>726052595The video game is basically a board game anyways, just rolls the dice behind curtains.
>>726048279Betrayal is one of the worst games in hobby shops right now, you did nothing wrong.
>>726050489Oh really? Cool. I only made the first 6 meeples, some other hero went and made all the rest.
>>726044171>againNeither Cursed City nor Silver Tower had a hero as pointless as this one.Overall Darkwater has probably the weakest roster. Only cool thing is how it splits into two thematically distinct parties of 4
>>726053125What we need is box covers like you did for the base and Riversluts expansions now lol
I'm having a blast with this so far during Halloween. Haven't finished the campaign yet, but we are determined to do so.
>>726027671nah because I would need friends to play those with
>>726052595I find it good, but the need for a phone with the app is a bit silly
>>726053558Whoa, this one is really good
>>726050167My group can handle deckbuilders and coop, it's just a matter of getting it into our play rotation since we only meet up on saturdays and we'll maybe get 1 heavy game played with a couple lighter fare games to decompress once finished.I've had fun with the board game conversion mod for STS, so hopefully whoever is maintaining that does the same with this expansion.
>>726053620its so off-putting to see both capcom and kickstarter on itbut I guess it would translate well into a board game, how long time do you think that the campaign will take?
>>726054234In my experience one of the best ways to play it would be as your decompressor and doing it an Act at a time. The game has a good setup for saving your game between the acts as, depending on the player count, each one can be an hour + due to the setup and take down.Hell I've noticed that the momentum of the game falls off a bit between finishing a boss and setting up the next act so it almost encourages starting fresh for each one.
>>726027671I have Betrayal at Baldur's Gate.
>>726055129Is that even vidya-based? Baldur's Gate has been a major staple of Forgotten Realms campaigns.
>>726055367It has classes and races that give your basic guy powers, that are already found in other versions of the game. It's best change to the base game is that the Basement is now The Alleys and are more easy to get in and out of.
>>726031040idk if I believe thatI just show up to shit solo, meet people, have a good time, and then never want to talk to them again because there is some huge glaring problem with them that I don't want to deal withlike 99% it is like>play game>have a decent time>half people are fucking schizos/losers/weird af/something>move on and forget about themany time I try to join things or organize further with them they just latch on and wont leave me alone.I genuinely prefer just showing up, meeting people, doing w/e seems interesting, and then if i see them again I see them again, if I don't, I don't and it is just not relevant to the rest of my life.
>>726054267Every scenario takes us around 1.5 hours in average, the base game has around 18 scenarios if we are not counting the expansions. But so far, we had a lot of moments where we had a lot of close calls of failing because someone decided to go rowdy with the zombies in one room and they don't had a escape plan to untangle themselves. I'd recommend it if your group is committed to finish the campaign, but if you are mostly a solo player. Just play it in TTS.
>>726055367>Is that even vidya-based?I think Avalon Hill went under before the video game.
>>726042281Shit sorry, I forgot about this and now I have to go out to play irl board games. Apologies to anons that wanted to play.
>>726027671>dbd board gamewhy the fuck
>ctrl+f>"frag">Phrase not foundBuncha monkeys never played an FPS Arena Deathmatch board game before I guess.
>>726057632money
>>726047023The board game / miniature games division is definitely a real thing
>>726060240Way more accurate.Fuck miniatures, I'll take a single over price box of cardboard and resin rather then hundreds of them just to find out you barely like the actual "game" game.
>>726041270Oh shit, they made a physical version of Armello? I need to check that out
>>726041270For The King: The Board Game when??
>>726061929So it's a weird jump but the Fallout Board Game actually has a comparable feeling to this.You have to throw out the actual rules for "winning" the game, because they suck, but as an exploration, "your choices matter", dungeon diver it feels almost exactly the same as FTK
>>726027671just got this. What am I in for?
>>726063363It's awful
>>726027671Yeah, Slay the Spire. Backed it instantly on Kickstarter because of how good StS is.Would've backed the SMT boardgame if it wasn't 2+ players.
>>726029143I think folks scanned it into Tabletop Simulator so you could probably pull assets to proxy it, but I haven't tried it.
>>726027671>Dead by daylight Tell us you're a tranny without telling us you're a tranny
