isn't eldritch horror the one that looks like a weird chinese knockoff of arkham horror

sounds good to me. all i thought from a glance at the front of the box was 'what is this and why does it sound all of a half step away from arkham horror'

Agent Kool-Aid posted:isn't eldritch horror the one that looks like a weird chinese knockoff of arkham horror it was an attempt at rebooting arkham horror into something less god-awful and it mostly worked. its definitely better if still not amazing or anything the idea of someone recommending arkham over it is really hard to fathom because its such a worse game

yeah, lol at the idea of a game being better because it has more expansions

part of the reason why I sold bsg and gt was because they got expansions

What is the single best expansion in boardgames my vote is space alert new frontiers because the rpg character advancement and achievements probably keep my group focused more than anything. Also the dumb cardboard badges helps the blame-assigning metagame during resolution phase

I got a chance to explain my new obsession to my girlfriend who's been away for a year. we played castles of burgundy, tash kalar, biblios and hanabi. it was her first time playing a "new" boardgame and she thought all of those owned. But honestly i don't enjoy hanabi that much...I've only ever played it with 2, is it better with more?

i appreciate hanabis but i honestly dont like the game very much, because its almost impossible to play right protip: any group that says they regularly get 23+ games is probably cheating

Not sure I really get the point of getting rid of boardgames that get expansions. Like, all the BSG expansions are bloated horseshit so you wouldn't buy them anyway, how's that going to retroactively ruin the original game?

I'm so loving disappointed in you because how did you not answer this question correctly and say "Advanced Civ." What did you do with the real silvergoose. Also that graphic above is magical. inSTAALed posted:eclipse is a good game to play Word.

Scyther posted:The combat in eclipse is loving stupid i don't disagree but the tech tree and stuff is so fun. probably why that Progress game was like crack for me. "WHAT?! I JUST PLAY CARDS AND TECH TREE AND THAT IS *THE WHOLE GAME*!? BRILLIANT." wish I knew it was a thing when it was on kickstarter because i would have been all over it.
