Thread 717183152

What's the point of turning a video game into a tabletop/board game? Just play the fucking video game.

I don't understand why somebody would want to experience the game in a way where you have to make sure you aren't breaking any rules and have to set up everything by hand instead of code doing it for you.

>>717183152 (OP)
You wouldn't get it.

>>717183152 (OP)
The truth is that video game themed board games are nothing like the real video games, it's just a coat of paint on top of a completely original game, having a recognizable IP is just simpler and it's also good for marketing since you'll get numales buying it immediately regardless of the quality of the game just from recognition alone.

problem?

>>717183152 (OP)
Why are you complaining about setup and upkeep for vidya board games specifically when all board games work under the same prerogative?

>>717184115
Board games for this feel?

>>717183152 (OP)
I think there's some appeal to it.
But what do i know, never had people to play board games with.

>>717183152 (OP)
It actually plays very differently since it makes StS a multiplayer game. Which is retarded since you might as well play Across the Obelisk if you wanted a multiplayer deckbuilder LMAO.

>>717184570
Is that a real board game?

some people like social experiences it's unbelievable i know

>>717184698
Why is there no Across the Obelisk tabletop game?

board games are not videogames

I worked at the company that made the Dark Souls board game. I'm sorry.
We made up for it though with the Resident Evil 2 game

>>717185054
But video games are board games, if you really think about it

>>717185073
So you know if the Risk of Rain board game will be any good?

>>717183152 (OP)
wrong board tranny

>>717184028
>it's just a coat of paint on top of a completely original game
bullshit
it is a coat of paint of already existing game mechanics resold and repackaged yet again, with new license
it is equal to all the shitty versions of monopoly and rarely there is something original about them
it is a collector trap for people who don't play boardgames

>>717185073
>mfw I found out about 6:siege being reprinted by SFG
I guess this is the second time I've missed the crowdfunding. What a shame.

>>717184937
Oh, you wouldn't want that. Across the Obelisk already has a lot of setup and upkeep, it will absolutely be horrible as a board game.

I bought Tabletop Simulator during the Pandemic sale and played Uno and Monopoly with my friends the controls sucked and soured me on board gaming forever.

>>717185218
No idea

>>717183152 (OP)
Guildmaster >>> Campaign.

To be honest, a physical FTK board game would be pretty neat, all things considered.

You would never get it as a lonely loser without friends

>>717185546
TTS didn't sour you on board games, Uno and Monopoly did.

Name 5 games better than Uno and Monopoly.

>>717185546
every time i give it a chance, it's janky shit that i can't stand for long enough to play a whole game

>>717183152 (OP)
It's to capitalize on people with a fear of missing out, especially when the game is filled with miniatures.

>>717186184
monopoly is alright but uno was put on this earth by satan himself and i shan't hear otherwise

>>717186393
That's really cool, have you played it?

>>717186593
Not my image
>>717186647
Nope, been meaning to get the game but i always ask myself "who the hell am i going to play this with" and end up not getting it.
Skimmed through the rules and looks fun.

>>717186647
>>717186986
From what I've it's a re-theme of the cowboy-themed game Bang! where you have a secret role and you take turns equipping items, playing cards and attacking other players while trying to find out who your teammates are so they can work together to fulfill their win condition. Sounds pretty fun but yeah where are you gonna find 4+ 2hufags to play this in the wild lol?

>>717186184
Monopoly Chance. It's Monopoly but with a game included.

>>717185073
Why didn't you just make it a KDM reskin?

>>717185073
Is the RE2 game good or just your latest product?

>>717186184
both of those games are shit, even normalfags don't like them and if they do it's because they are playing with houserules to make them even mildly entertaining.

>>717186184
Uno is alright
Monopoly only exists because everyone knows the rules. Original Pokemon board game is kinda fun

>Ticket To Ride
>Cartographer
>Catan
>My City
>Azul
>Wingspan
>7 Wonders

If you want something more like Risk I'd recommend ROOT or Kemet

>>717189985
I don't know what their latest product is but RE2 was one of the last ones I was there for. It is good, great campaign style play

You chose the worst example. Slay the Spire board game is better than the video game. Plus, you can play with friends.

>>717186184
Labyrinth
Talisman
Settlers of Catan
Ceaser and Cleopatra

>>717190964
That's 4. You lose.

>>717183152 (OP)
Board games are cheap and easy to make. Just take Catan and give it a different coat of paint. Tabletop games are even easier to make. Just give GURPS/FATE/Apocalypse a new coat of paint and publish a single .pdf, just make sure never to write adventure modules or include intro adventures. Tabletop people just like to hoard games, they almost never play them.

>>717190776
Are there other video game board games that are actually good?

>>717192038
Divinity OS2

For me, it's Runescape Kingdoms.

>>717186986

Pretty sure there were people here playing it on TTS but they were too sweaty for my taste

>>717183152 (OP)
99% of the time video game board games were just produced to sell expensive miniatures

Has the king been adapted to be playable with a regular deck of cards?

>>717193018
Yeah man here's a pic of my last play

I remember anons playing Catan in colonizer.io and Secret Hitler, and also BGO, what happenes to that? Also did people ever play together on Tabletop Simulator?

>why would you play Clue or Uno in person when you can play them online?
I'm not very social but I have one of those "board game nerds" for a cousin and the only thing I look forward to more than the food at Thanksgiving is him bringing out like 4 boxes of games for us all to play.

>>717196028
Board games are fun and based and only the smelly & incelly don't like them

>>717191413
>take Catan and give it a different coat of paint
Settlers of Catan and other European-style games ruined board games. Instead of having a healthy mix of RNG, skill, and cutthroat negotiating, you have games where you can get screwed over halfway in with no path to victory, don't even have the grace of being eliminated, at best you favor which side you want to win (not yourself).

>>717194093
Yeah it must absolutely be terrible having disposable income and not living in a favela.

>>717196028
Clue or Uno has way way way way less rules and conditions than Slay the Spire for example. It takes fucking forever to do anything if someone has to deal with the rules and something might still go wrong.

Computer games also enable you to do many mechanics much much more conveniently like in Heartstone when you discover a card doing that irl would mean that you always need to carry a huge set of cards just to enable that feature and then there's class discoveries etc. and shit just gets real fucking messy.

>>717193746
There are Tabletop Simulator threads sometimes but the amount of people playing is swingy to say the least. The problem with board games is that you need to teach the rules to anybody who is new, and ain't nobody got time fo' that

>>717194795
Based choices, anon. Coup is perfect for ruining friendships in under 10 minutes. Sheriff of Nottingham always devolves into accusing your grandma of smuggling crossbows under her blouse. Love Letter is the GOAT of portable games - fits in your pocket and still makes people ragequit. Don't Mess with Cthulhu is underrated, but I swear there's always that one dude who NEVER tells the truth, even when it helps the team.

>>717196028
The only real difficulty with board gaming as a hobby is that you really need to have people who are prepared to learn the rules of a game they're unfamiliar with. It helps if someone's a good teacher, but even with a good teacher some people stubbornly don't want spend 5+ minutes going over the rules before they get to play, they just wanna go go go.
If you've got a group (friends or family) that is willing to learn a new game and accept it into their fold, it's fantastic. Good on your cousin for not only initiating that, but good on your family for having the patience to slow down and enjoy that limited time together over the table. You dont' really need to be social to engage in the hobby (there are plenty of solo games) but you just need to not be terrified of interacting with people for long enough to feel comfortable.
If you're lucky, you have a local game store you might be able to visit to fall into the hobby yourself (avoid the TCGs though, you'll blink and be out hundreds of dollars)

Europa universalis the board game gave us Europa universalis the pc game which gave us Europa universalis the board game.
The cycle is complete.

Its called brand recognition.
Its not gonna be the video game company making these games, its the board game company going to the game company and saying "hey I will pay to use your IP."

Bardsung is the most overdesigned dogshit table hog I've ever had the displeasure of buying on sale. If you know any of the people still there, tell them restraint is a virtue and they need to learn from games like Rogue Dungeon and Bag of Dungeon. Absolute clown shoes over at SFG.
