was this a plant feeding you points?

>>96480964
No, just some shitter. All his plans failed.

>>96480914 (OP)
>- Favorite game that uses hexagonal tiles?
Not quite hex but Clash of Cultures. If it has to be straight up hex tiles, Keyflower.
>- Favorite card artwork?
The cards in La Famiglia. I dig Santiago's art style.
>- Favorite solo game?
Pure solo - Wars of Marcus Aurelius. Multi-hand solo - Arkham Horror LCG

Do publishers pay BGG to show their games on their "Hotness" list? Emberheart entered "Hotness" the same day it was announced.

>>96480914 (OP)
>Favorite game that uses hexagonal tiles?
Ecliose, I suppose. Could also be TI depending on my mood, I really like both. Imagine that.
>- Favorite card artwork?
Weird, I'm drawing a blank here. I own a bunch of games involving cards, but nothing really stands out. Fuck MTG and all, but their top tier artwork is absolutely amazing. Maybe Inis, but that probably only comes to mind for its uniqueness.
>- Favorite solo game?
lol
Lmao, even

Galactic Cruise is peak heavy euro

Thoughts on Sardegna?

>>96480991
I love la famiglias artwork (or rather the choice of colour palette) but the cards, by which I think you mean the cardboard tiles with powers on them aren't really more than functional. Same if you mean the finesse combat ones. Or am I forgetting something?

>>96481008
>MTG
not a board game, retard.

>>96481005
I would imagine there's some fuckery going on. I don't think you can officially buy it, but there very likely is some trick to it. Probably paying chinese thumbs up farmers a few cents or something

Cosmic Encounter > Twilight Imperium

>>96481083
Ah it's you again. You really should focus your energy on reading the posts. It'd save us both a lot of trouble.

I'd also ask you to define 'boardgame' but we don't need another 50% shitpost thread.

>>96481098
Depends on what you like, I guess.
That said I find CE is lowest tier trash

>>96481104
>Ah it's you again.
take your meds
>I'd also ask you to define 'boardgame' but we don't need another 50% shitpost thread.
Board games have... boards. MTG is a card game.

TOM NO

Tom Vasel lived in South Korea from 2001 to 2009 to teach English and spread Christianity.

>>96481069
I'm talking about the combat cards and the mafioso cards you get at the start of the game. The combat cards are great - the two cards for the cowards really give that sense of worry and fear.

I'm yet to play a good modern board game. All these "critically praised" ones people keep recommending feel like I'm doing work. Where's the fun? "Use le grey resource cubes to make le points and more points = le win". Fuck you. I want violence. I want death. Recommend something cool for once.

>>96481189
Arcs.

Unironically a meaner game than most dudes on a map game.

Pax ren 1e is not a boardgame, but 2e is?

You will never be a woman.

Shoutout to the sperglord that claimed the superiority of abstract games and the GIPF series on these threads a few years ago.
He got me to try YINSH as something easy to teach to my kids and it is indeed great.
Thanks for reading my blog.

>>96481229
That sounds fun. I'll check it out.

>>96481189
I think you just want some pure ameritrash. Which rarely gets made anymore, mainly because 99.9% of pure ameritrash designs are shit

>>96481267
You're welcome.
It wasn't me but I also think abstracts are peak

>>96481189
>I want violence. I want death.
Have you heard or our lord and savior Exceed? (Also you cannot buy it because Level 99 cannot keep their games in print.)

>>96481274
I don't even know what the fuck that is. Like Monopoly? That one sucks. I played a game some months ago called "Undaunted" and it was freaking awesome. More like that, please?

>>96481267
DVONN mogs YINSH hard

>>96481314
LYNGK mogs them both

>>96481189
How new?

>>96481314
Looks very interesting indeed. I just went for the most consensual of the bunch, and "Othello but more fun" is an easy sell to potential players.

>>96481189
Just play ol' Carc and stfu

Anyone ever play Last Night On Earth?

>>96481358
I never understood the praise for YINSH, because it really is just othello + gomoku. DVONN is a meatier, thinky game of strategy reminiscent of life-and-death principle of Go. I also like that it collapses inevitably into endgame, there's no soft reset like in YINSH whenever someone scores.

>>96481404
>I never understood the praise for YINSH
because you're a retard. it's a great game.

>>96481189
A Feast for Odin
It's about vikings going on bloothirsty raids to kill christians and steal their women as breeding slaves. Brutal game for manly mens.

Mind that I consider them pretty shit, but you might enjoy them, and that's not even meant to be an insult. Different tastes etc

>>96481470
M&M is not shit

>>96481372
Probably the worst survival horror game I've played

>>96481486
Admittedly it's the best in the list by far, I kida forgot to take it out (like I did with Western legends) but downtime can be so obscene I really don't want to play it again

>>96481490
what's the best?

>>96481124
Rip

>>96481189
Nothing wrong with cubes
Have you played Hansa Teutonica?
How about Chicago express?
Lots of cubes, low rules overhead, very interactive

>>96481341
TIDDY mogs everything

>>96481516
Terrorscape. The only one that was any good at all even, but it's a huge box of crowdfunding slop and I wouldn't pay €100 for it

>>96481537
Nothing I against cubes themselves. Just hate this feminine dynamic of "work on this boring shit individualy and them compare with le other girls and see who is the prettiest!" that is so prevalent in modern games. I want actual competition. Competing for control and space. Attacking each other along the way. I will check out Hansa.

>>96481098
Damn, you're really gunna hit them with a truth nuke like that?

>>96481245
It used cards as a board due to poverty and then it became an actual board game.

Cole Wehrle on Caylus: "This game is a brutal, flat out masterpiece. I prefer it with 4 or 5 players. A far superior worker placement game to Agricola."

Is he right?

Root
Spirit Island
Wingspan

>>96481699
>Wingspan
List of meme games?

>>96481682
Hate his designs, but he's a pretty cool guy. Dead wrong on this one, though

>>96481682
100% he's right. Not a fan of his games, but Caylus is the best

has anyone heard of Creature Caravan?

So I just got the age of steam acrylic tiles
I opened them, saw the note about the protective film, and just started mindlessly removing the film from both sides
I'm about 25% in and just realized, why am I doing this?
They were pre-sleeved from the factory, and there's no way for me to reattach the film
Fuck

We need a drawfag on this

>>96482076
Personal, he borrowed $20 from me ine time and hasn't mentioned payi g me back since.

anyone here got kids? i have a 1 year old and my wife is starting to lose interest in playing becuase of how much time the lil one takes. she's my main gaming buddy, i don't know wtf im going to do bros.

>>96482076
The latter

>>96482093
This one is different. It's not a campaign game. Give it a chance.

>>96482084
I contacted him on social media to ask a question about a product and the faggot never replied back. His company's website has no email to contact. So unprofessional.

>>96482091
withhold sex unless she games

>>96482091
If the kid can't learn brass in the next couple years, there's always adoption

>>96482091
Tom Vasel's daughter stopped going on BGG and posting game content after she married. It's over.

>>96482091
You will play alone until the kid is like 10 or so. You lost a gaming buddy but gained another (in the future). Such is life.

>>96482091
Smile because it happened.
My wife has only ever tolerated board games in gathering settings as an excuse to have people over. Lucky if that happens every few months. With 5 kids I don’t even have time to try solo games myself. One of our kids will play with me but there’s not often any time

>>96481699
>Spirit Island
Is this still the go-to for a meaty thematic coop? I haven't kept up for a while.

>>96482147
Hard to blame her for wanting to ride the big d all the time

>>96482091
Don't worry, time will fly and your kid will be old enough to play games with you before you notice it. Dragomino is not the best game ever, but at least it is playable at 5-6.
The con is that you will be old before you notice it too.

>>96482187
I think so, yes. Unless I'm forgetting something.

I still felt "young" in 2022 at age 26 but I'll be 30 next year and I feel like life is already over. Time has no mercy. I thought I would have a wife and kids by 30 but I'm still far away from that. I wanted to teach board games to my children but now it seems like solo gaming will be my thing forever. Depressing.

>>96482134
Words spoken by the childless

>>96482229
Thanks. I gave the game years ago to a friend because I did not have the time to play anymore, and now I have that itch to scratch again.

>>96482272
>Solo gaming
Just play video games. Or get outside and meet people to play games. I have a wife and kids and other hobbies, so my game time is extremely limited now and sometimes I wish I was like you. The grass is always greener elsewhere.

>>96482327
Interesting. I recently read an article about the overall least happy part of.life being mid 30s to mid-end 40s aka the time span in which most people have younger kids

Which currently out of print game do you want most to get a reprint? Maybe even a new edition with some changes.

>>96482353
Gods i want Blue Moon Legends back and the rest of Sakura Arms localized

>>96482353
i would have said Container until yesterday

>>96482353
Blue Moon legends
Samurai (none picnic version)
Quest for El Dorado with all content and matching card sizes

God damn Knizia, get it together

Oh, and a reprint of container, with regular sized ships, nothing too crazy
But they should be able to float, so that I can play the game in a custom board game aquarium

>>96482069
Piss off
But here's a coupon code that may be good

>>96482367
>>96482401
I'm not sure why bros but Blue moon legends never really worked for me. I've seen that supposedly it only starts being good once you know your/the opponents deck, but that seems so very unlike knizia I'm having a hard time believing it

>>96482353
I want Exceed and Battlecon localized in my language. It's dead for Exceed due to licensing, but for Battlecon why not.

>>96482419
I have no idea if bml is good, that's why I'm not willing to pay out of print prices
But for a normal price, sure, worth a punt

>>96482183
nigga you got 5 kids? how the fuck are you still alive or even posting here? me and my wife both feel like losers because we barely can keep up with our daughter even though we get a ton of help from the family.

Is slipping birth control into the drinks of newly weds the only way to keep a gaming group together?

>>96482352
People have been studying this for around 50 years and until around 6 years ago young people were consistently happier than middle aged people. That is not the case anymore but middle aged people haven't gotten any happier.

>>96482480
Based, I see my rants against zoomers were not in vain and dragged them down to my level

Now, to offer them some precious uplifting social time by forcing them to play boardgames. I'm gonna be a goddamn board game therapist by 2035

What's going on here? Looks like some kinda pagan ritual. Will my soul be offered to some strange deities if I lose the game or something?

>Favorite game that uses hexagonal tiles?
Neuroshima Hex
>Favorite card artwork?
That upcoming game Fame and Fable seems pretty cool. For published games maybe Inis.
>Favorite solo game?
Aerion.

>>96481043
I liked it but haven't played that version. Curious how that style of board holds up, or if it's annoying from the get go.

>>96484230
Are you the anon from the previous thread that didn't realize how many crazy power cards there were until I brought this up? Glad you enjoyed it!

>>96480914 (OP)
>Favorite game that uses hexagonal tiles?
Battletech...what...does that not count?
How about Battletech: The Succession Wars then?
Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done is cool too
>Favorite card artwork
Man that's hard as there are a lot of games with fantastic card art.
Mysterium/Mysterium Park (I combined them so I forget which card goes to which game) feels like cheating, but I'll pick that for now.
>Favorite solo game
Don't play solo. Board games are an inherently social hobby for me personally.
That said, I tried that new Fate of the Fellowship game on BGA a couple of times and I had more fun with it solo than I did cooperatively. Still not a big fan of it though.

>>96480930
Is this Fantasy Wizard? If not, what game?
>>96481372
No but for a time I used to like A Touch of Evil more than I care to admit.
>>96482091
Fuck. We're trying right now and I'm afraid this is going to be me in the near future.

>>96484965
>Is this Fantasy Wizard? If not, what game?
Close. It's Skull King (without the pirate powers and monster stuff). Some guy online told me Wizard is better, though.

>>96482187
Highly recommend giving it a shot. Like any game, it's not for everyone, but I love it. I'm going to play it tomorrow actually.
>>96482353
There's so many, but recently found out about Space Hulk Death Angel and really want to give it a shot.
>>96483983
Based, also I want to try Barbarossa someday which is also out of print.

>>96484996
>I'm going to play it tomorrow actually.
do you like any particular spirit?

>>96485011
I like mixing it up and trying different spirits and aspects. Generally however I like fear spirits the most. I tend to kick ass with Many Minds Move as One and have fun doing it.
Outside of that I also like Thunderspeaker a lot. Rallying a Dahan warband is fun.
Recently got my hands on Nature Incarnate and I've only played it twice so far, but Relentless Gaze of the Sun was grossly incandescent once I got him set up right.

>>96484992
Skull King is the same game as Wizard which is the same game as Oh Pshaw which is the same game as Oh Well. Same core game, same family but little differences here and there.

A friend's friend came yesterday to our board game evening. We played terraforming mars and through the ages. He took 5-7 minutes per turn. I've never been a violent person but holy shit the way I wanted to bash his skull...the way he looked at the cards with that retarded face. I need a way to deal with stuff like this because apparently he's going to become a regular

>>96484996

>Favorite hex
HexPlore It! Valley of the Undead King.
>Fave card art
Draconis Invasion. Nothing about it is really fantastic, just dark fantasy, however, it's consistent in tone, quality, execution, and quality.
>Fave solo
Warp's Edge for quick affairs. Maybe Elder Scrolls for longer games. Gonna start cracking into Dragon Eclipse and Isofarian Guard soon, so that might change.

Do you view people who rate games based on a TTS playthrough as having a valid opinion on the game or not?

>>96485155
WHO CARES
playing the game digitally is better than being a neverplayed with opinions on it

>>96485155
Invalid opinion. They're glorified solo gamers. If you play board games mostly on TTS you either have no friends IRL, lack the social skills to keep a friend group, or are too fat and lazy to leave your house.

>>96485155
No. For several reasons.
1. TTS automate upkeep with deck shuffling and such. This could have someone believing a game is less tedious than it really is resulting in a higher opinion of a game then it would get normally.
2. The tactile experience of playing a game is factor in overall opinion. Shit components won't make a good game bad likewise great components won't make a bad game good, however, they absolutely have an effect on the overall experience and longevity of a board game. TTS remove tactile experiences from the game entirely and it is something worth noting.
3. IRL physical gaming sessions are a SOCIAL activity and TTS are an inferior replacement. This also extends to virtual RPG sessions as well. While RPG sessions offer you tools you won't usually get (dynamic fog of war, heaps of maps, easily referenced attacks for enemies) there is little benefit for board games when the stuff on display is what you would have access to in the box.

All in all, it's just the worst possible way to play the game 9 times out of 10 and as such the opinion of those who mainly use TTS to game should not have the same weight as someone who physically played the game. I'm not even saying they have to buy the game, go play it at a buddy's house or game shop or something, but using a TTS only to judge a game is just dumb.
If you can't game any other way, by all means.

>>96485167
They are close to the same thing.

>>96485155
It's good when people spend money on board games (keeps the hobby alive) so no, TTS is a negative force on the community

>>96485155
Unless the game has logiatic problems (torturous setup/teardown, constant shuffling, shuffle small amounts of cards, etc.) that are nasked by the simukator it dhouldn't devalue their opinion.

>>96485195
TTS fags are to board games what PDF fags are to TTRPGs. They don't spend money on it, frequently play it wrong, and have unhinged opinions on a game they never played correctly in their life.

>>96485199
So Gloomhaven.

>>96485201
>frequently play it wrong, and have unhinged opinions on a game they never played correctly in their life.
This is 99% percent of bgg people

>>96485205
It's 2025. Why aren't you playing Frostgrave instead?

>>96485167
I can tell you don't make 100k annual....

Any good kickstarters you have your eyes on?

>>96485224
why does the year matter? also isn't Frostgrave two years older than Gloomhaven?

>>96485230
>why does the year matter?
How bad is your backlog that you're finally getting around to playing a game that's half a decade old?

>>96485155
Yes? I haven't played on tts in years, but am unsure why there are such strong opinions about. Of course you can judge the game by its mechanics

>>96485259
you think everyone plays games as soon as they come out?

>>96485263
At this rate it'll be 2030 before you've played it. You need to play more often.

>>96485270
Nah

>>96485274
Not a real hobbyist

>>96485286
Don't care, redditor.

>>96485304
>generic insult
>can't play games on a reasonable timeframe
This is how I know you don't take board games seriously.

>>96485317
I will play games whenever I want and there's nothing you can do about it.

FUCK the colorblind. Little whiny bitches that should have been taken out of the gene pool ages ago.
NO I will NOT compromise my artistic vision for you.
NO I will NOT give you supplementary material to help you.
NO I will NOT listen to your pathetic pleas and sniveling.

So uhhhh is anyone interested in co-designing a cold war pax game? I've got some ideas jotted down on a design doc on Excalidraw.

>>96485230
He means Frosthaven not Frostgrave.

>>96485218
>frequently play it wrong, and have unhinged opinions on a game they never played correctly in their life.
>This is 99% percent of bgg people
Even their "fun" is a falsehood!

>>96484914
You got me!
We discussed post game how we'd play it next time.
One player hard shafted himself with poor gate/structure placement and spent most of the game trying to claw back in, while another realised too late how to combo points effectively. So we may use the same power set up, but also noted that should we be 4 instead of 5, that'll strip one suite out too and be a significant change if something like Puncture or Cascade isnt in the set.
Nevermind exploring it anew with entirely foreign and more subtle/violent powers.
We were very surprised how smooth it played. Reminded me of Cosmic Frog in that way. You know what to do, how many turns it'll take to get things in place, but there is always the chance of an awful hiccough happening. But it rarely ever takes more than a minute.
I hope next time some poor sucker hums and haws over what Instability card to keep, and we actually trigger the "turns come back to you, haven't decided? Neighbor chooses for you/randomly" rule.

i have opinions of games i've only played on BGA, Yucata, or RTT and you can't stop me

>>96485201
I print my PDFs

>>96485155
I rate based on a single read of the rules.
Are you incapable or incompetent?

What's your favourite game that scores badly ( < 6.5 ) on BGG, or hidden gem?

>>96485750
Weak rated games I love:
GOSU (6.5, 3,056 overall rank)
Nightfall (6.5, 2,599, overall rank)

Hidden gems: Ortus Regni (3,554) and Nawalli (13,467)

Played Battle of Hoth today, fun game

>>96480914 (OP)
anyone here familiar with the Imperium series? Just bought the Horizons edition cus i found it cheap second hand but just been reading how Classics is the best place to start. What say you, should i pick up classics first? I am pretty new to playing a game like this other than MTG and Dominion. Will be played a solo and 2 player.

>>96485894
Classics is most straightforward.
Downside is some of those civs then feel VERY plain and dull compared to the others. Like I dont see myself ever really going back to the Persians or Macedonians.
You also see the same sort of strategy across those decks. Acquire regions > spam Glory.
Horizons still has civs you can cut your teeth on, Magyars, Taino, and Japanese.
Legends I slightly prefer over Classics as you still have relatively easy to learn and pilot decks like Mauryans, Qin, and Minoans. And then very flavorful and fun decks like Arthurians and Atlanteans that will break your established play patterns, but without bending you over with new concepts or tight constrictions like the Innu, Polynesians, or the Trade Route civs.

thanks anon, i appreciate the insight. I'll check ebay for Legends if I really like Horizons. I have too much free time and dedication to learn the game but the reason I'm thinking to go for the simplest set is just so another player can learn quicker. But i'll give it a go myself first. Apparently Horizons contains errata cards and rules tweaks for the earlier sets anyway should I choose to expand

Thoughts on Hab & Gut (the rich and the good)?
I've seen a copy on second hand markets for 15 euro and nabbed it because on the forums i use (not bgg) it's praised alot as a light stock holding game, i've tried it on a tts for a bit and it seems like it would be a fun time with 4 or 5 players

>>96485931
Is it really that good? And at what player count?

>>96486051

Condotierre is going for 70-100$ used now. I sold my cope for 75 last month.
The guy found slightly better offers but didnt want to drive the two hours one way to gettem.
I remember paying 20$ for a new copy.
Its a fine light game but thats all, what in the hell is driving people to do that. Its been reprinted enough times that you know it will come back eventually.

>Its a fine light game but thats all, what in the hell is driving people to do that. Its been reprinted enough times that you know it will come back eventually.
Well, it was blatantly ripped off by a famous IP, first digitally then physically, so I wouldn't be so sure of a reprint.

They both ripped off Schotten Totten

>>96486968

Nothing like a good card game after the intense orgy!

>>96487481
Schotten Totten seems clearly better than The Fifth Column but how does it compare to East-West?

brehs need a suggestion for a game for 3 players, the other players are especially big fans of Carcasonne, Kingdomino and Ticket to Ride. Something a bit more unusual and has a bit more depth but something that won't scare the hoes

>>96487523
Schotten Totten shows Scottish people as violent brutes. I think that beats a generic deck of cards.

I am willing to bet you can buy decorative playing cards to that effect. I was asking about gameplay.

>>96487546
Hopefully. Some faggots out there think expensive minis and designer bathwater are subsitutes for good gameplay. This has to end for the good of humanity. Also, the over-fixation with theme has been horrible for the medium. Shitty game but with le fantasy theme and le tumblr artwork? 1,000,000 dollars campaign! WHAT THE FUCK.

>>96485201
>if you don't spend hundreds of dollars on overpriced rulebooks, you didn't play it correctly
what a bizarre and insane take. I have a terabyte of pirated RPG books, I'm not wasting space on all that shit.

>>96487550
Schotten Totten's deck is different to begin with. 6 suits and each suit has 9 numbers. So different balance than 4 suits and 10 numbers. Games are shorter in East-West, I think (haven't played in a while) which can be unsatisfying for some. I don't know, nor care enough to analyse tb h

>>96486919
it's so much better than it has any right to be. if you can sit with some minor rules ambiguity and seek out answers from the designer on BGG, there's an excellent fast playing dueller waiting for you.
the way passing works makes tempo very dynamic and fun. you're making crucial decisions immediately with your team buildout, and then from the first turn there's so many directions you can go with your setup in terms of what cards to buy and when to recruit other heroes. there's plenty of bluffing and mind games with the schemes system, separate win cons for each player, and baiting positional overreach while holding massive combos in hand. i think it's pretty thematic too, but i'm only a casual DC enjoyer

Babysitting is a full-time job, can't blame her. Boardgames are a huge time investment if you have actual important shit to do.

Depends on the game, but I'm skeptical of them because many games are great, but simply aren't worth the effort to set up/tear down.

I unironically love Munchkin despite all its faults. Partially nostalgia as it wad the first modern game I played and it was godly compared to the Parker Brothers shit everyone else that I knew owned. But I still have a laugh whenever I play as long as someone doesn't get too butthurt.
BGG rates it 5.9.

>>96488435
>complaining about autism
>in a board game general

>>96488435
Funny how the most autistic people never notice how autistic they are. Must be the lack of self awareness.

>>96488269
You have good instincts. And yes, they're pretty much the same game minus the gimmicks in Skull King. Wizard has a card that always loses, the Jesters, SK has Escape cards. Wizard has a card that always wins, the Wizards, SK has the Pirates/Sirens. SK has a somewhat convoluted card hierarchy but it's the same core game as Wizard, basically.

>>96485750
>>96485155
Who cares about BGG ratings? BGG lets you rate games that haven't even released yet, because you can just claim that you totally played it at a convention (once, with a rushed middling understanding of the rules because you have other slops to play before the convention closes).

Ideally BGG shouldn't even let you rate a game unless you have at least 10 logged plays. The autismos who bother rating games are probably the same autismos who use BG Stats to track how many sheep they scored in each and every single game they played, so there's little risk of them just cheating it.

>>96488449
Board games are certainly deeper cause they're more mechanics-focused. Videogames are full of filler time while in boardgames every action counts. Being good at Through the Ages requires significantly more effort than being good at Civ 6 cause you make more meaningful decisions per game.

>>96488498
BGG is corrupt. Publishers pay them money to show their games on Hotness. That's why you see games that were announced yesterday.

>>96488509
>while in boardgames every action counts

I have this same issue sometimes. One of my players like to think hard on everything they do. However, their plays tend to be very strong and they are known for pulling off major combos when the mechanics allow. Plus, they'll come play games with me on random days, so I pet it slide.
The other is my aunt, who loves playing Cascadia, but she sits there forever just to make, usually, subpar moves. Started listening to a podcast in one ear while we play, but I still get annoyed.

Get a chess clock or use one of those board game timer apps/websites. The website version includes a total playtime per player, so you can cheekily point out that his turns take twice as long as others or some shit.

>>96485195
>It's good when people spend money on board games (keeps the hobby alive)
many people (including me) only (or mostly) buy games through second hand markets... the money doesn't go into the pockets of whoever made the game when you do that, so according to you second hand markets are a negative force on the community too
>>96489082
>the best part of board games is that they are physical and take place in the real world
according to whom? I play board games BOTH on tts and irl and i enjoy both methods of play equally
I'm tired of those who equate digital play to playing videogames
Also tts is a fantastic way to try out games first before buying them

if a publisher doesn't put out a TTS version, it tells me that they're afraid of people trying before they buy and realizing how shit their game is.

like the other anon i dont give a shit about the 2 things you said about the game rating or its designer, but it looks like a low effort game, even for a filler, would rather gift something a little more substantial, even to complete beginners, something like hanamikoji, lost cities, rival cities, sky team and the like (if it has to be a 2 player game)

Tactility is a part of the experience and there is value in doing analog escapism with people in the same room as you. I like video games and digital implementations of board games, but the physical aspect of the games is part of the reason they are so engaging with so much less going on.

I agree it's a great way to play a game for the first time, but the best experiences with board games will always be in the room with who you're playing with.

Tournaments for board games are a waste of time for everyone involved, there's a reason the saying is "the ability to play chess well is a life wasted". Optimizing play of a game is to suck the fun out of it.

This guy finishes Agricola with like 30 points and thinks

>>96490424
What does your post have to do with the first one you're replying to?
Normies don't even know what tts is
Also continuing to insist on the tactility (and social) aspect of board gaming makes you closer to said normies than tts players are
After all, normies only see board games as an excuse to meet up, most dont even actually care about the game, they "have fun" because they're just socializing

These people want to have their cake and eat it too. They look down on TTS, solo gaming, loners and support kickstarter slop, social gaming, having friends while totally not being redditors.

What deckbuilders should I try? I'm looking at Heart of Crown 2e and Kamigami Battles since I like anime booba and being able to attack my opponents.

>I threw out my minis for Heroes of Might and Magic III and Cthulhu Wars because they aren't needed and cut the box size in half.
Cool story brah. The board presence is the best part of Cthulhu Wars and playing the Battlefield expansion of HoMM3 is absolutely required for the final battle and it sucks without the minis. I'm sorry you gimped your games that way and I hope you can get them fixed eventually.

nah, being the best at a hobby board game is retarded. If you were smart you'd get good at a game that actually has a dedicated competitive environment, and even that is a massive waste of time. You're not the Magnus Carlson of Brass Birmingham.
>>96490484
I laughed, I like to play to win, but actually dedicating time to even the most played game on BGA is a giant waste of time. It's fun to play games but it's actually braindead to grind leaderboards for anything, let alone a board game.

>>96490827
>even that is a massive waste of time
If you like doing it and it's not causing problems in other areas of your life, it's not a waste of time.

>>96490847
If I declare it's a waste of time, it is

>>96490827
Nah, tournaments are fun. Competition is fun. Also abstract games are good for this kind of thing.

>>96490886
You're a gay normie, though. So your opinion is irrelevant.

Agreed, 99.9% of boardgames are not designed to be played competitively, and would not stand up to such scrutiny. Think of it like videogames, there's maybe 10-15 actively maintained games people actually care about playing at the highest level, and they get updates to address meta and fix unintended bugs. Hobby boardgames really have none of this, and are better for it. The absolute best player at (insert euro here) today would be considered trash if several million people played it, and there were 6-7 figure prize pools to incentive players. No one is grinding brass birmingham 10 hours a day for years.

I've seen this "person" a few times online. I put person in quotations as everything about them reeks of being one of those lizard-folk that network their way into everything rather than on any real merit of skill or contribution.

Their only notable designs being the aformentioned high tides (Only notable because they were in person spamming it at Gen Con) and a fucking solo mode for evolutions should tell you everything you need to know... I would go as far to say that by financially supporting this person in anyway you are helping someone who will never contribute to society or the world at all and is only interested in leeching off of others.

>>96490991
Would $20 for a handy at gencon count as "financial support"

>>96487376
they have a Gwent TCG video game(actually pretty fun, but abandomware now), that's where the card art comes from

>>96490991
As long as the games are decent, who cares. Why are you so obsessed with this person?

The only thing more pathetic than an autismo who's proud of being a champion in a game no one plays is a frustrated autismo who can't even compete in a game no one plays.

Asynchronous Play, it's been around as long as the post office
Try out Boardgame Arena and related sites, or find a table you can keep a game out on and just make moves when you have the time. I have half a dozen simultaneous games at all times with various friends and family.

>>96491567
if a game takes more than 2 hours it's not worth playing!

Are there any 4p deduction/mystery games like Clue, but don't suck ass?

>>96491102
Nobody has said they can't compete, it's just a waste of time. If you want actual competition you'll play chess or poker because that's where actual talent plays in this space, but that's still mostly a waste of time. Having a high elo on castles of burgundy online is a sign you have too much free time. Nobody gives a shit if you have the world record speed run for a newgrounds porn game either. They are equivalent.

Caring after children is, depending on the kid, lots of to monumental amounts of work, and boardgames are a suprisingly challenging medium imo. Aside from needing no small amount of time, also getting 2-4 other people to join you, learn the rules etc. does make everything a bit complicated, and that's not even touching how games sometimes just fall flat for one group and are great with anonther.

Point being, reading/watching movies/playing videogames is comparatively much easier to find time for

I'm not big on deductions games but I have enjoyed Alchemists, The Search for , and Mushroom Sort at 4 players. Among them Mushroom Sort is the most "like Clue" because each player starts with partial information the other players lack and players force each other to share their information ovetlr the course of the game. But the similarities end there.

>>96491601
search for planet x is ok.
there was an anon that made a pnp that was clue without a board that i printed out a year or two ago and it was pretty good. It was basically just clue with just cards and you swapped with some cards in a shared area in the middle of the table, but there was no board. It basically distilled clue into 21 cards

>>96488676
Says nothing about that, but something caught my eye

User Demographics
>Average of 200 games owned
Now that can't be true, can it. Using average isn't great here ofc but what the fuck, there apparently are a significant number of people with obscene amounts of games to drive the averag of 4 million users that high

>>96491659
>average BGG user owns 200 games
factoid actualy just statistical error. average BGG user owns 20 games. Kickstarters Georg, who lives in cave & backs over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

>>96488676

If you play solo video games you can play solo board games.

They hated him because he exposed their idol

>>96491673
Yes that's why I said using average isn't great but how there STILL needs to be a significant number of people with a MASSIVE amount of games considering 4 mio users and how many of them probably have 0 entries

Yeah i'm like that sometimes. For some people being in agony (physical or mental) is how they get peak performance. Plus, games are always more fun when you're trying to climb out of a sub-par position, rather than when you get an early lead and keep it forever.

>>96492347
Corollary: You can throw your teaching games to give that guy a favorable impression of your games so he will agree to play them more than once.
