All their stupid discussion about what is and isn't a war game was much more egregious than anything on their lists

Tekopo in the dead of winter pbp you keep saying "need X" after looking at the upcoming crises, wouldn't it be more efficient to say "x y" and thus give away both upcoming crises.

no because then people don't know what is needed unless we use a 'first card' convention also i get to use the action every turn as long as talia is alive, so i can keep digging a card down forever

I think the order in which you say things being the order of crises would be the automatic assumption of everyone in the world with a functioning brain.

Far as i can tell, hex is a literal magic clone, complete with lands, so i assume it has the exact same issues. looks like its magic but without any of the lessons that magic learned over the last 20 years

Tekopo posted:well yeah but nowadays whos making that poo poo (also apparently cna was a joke) modern wargames, even monsters are designed with game flow in mind like, ted racier's monster east front game actually has a reasonable game flow to it(all the phases are chit pulls, and the mix changes to represent different capabilities, for example in 1941 the only russian chits are counter-attack and move, and counter-attack is a really lovely and limited forced attack where you might as well attack because you lose steps anyway)

I had actually thought that Hex did away with a resourse system that has you play "lands" in your deck, but looks like it pretty much didn't now that I checked it.

Any time after 1993 more like. Even Richard Garfield didn't do it the next three years with Jyhad, Netrunner (or Battletech CCG iirc). I'd guess the answer must be: because loving Cryptozoic.

up until last night i've been terrified of agricola - i imagined it as this sprawling mess of a grognardy game. i watched rahdo's playthrough of it last night though and it looks pretty good. i've been wanting to get a good worker placement game because i think i dig the mechanic so might as well go with the classic right?

Lunsku posted:Any time after 1993 more like. Even Richard Garfield didn't do it the next three years with Jyhad, Netrunner (or Battletech CCG iirc). To stick up for magic's resource system a little bit: Mark Rosewater claims that when he tried to improve on it for Duelmasters/Kaijudo he failed, because it stopped being random enough. He asserts that CCGs need to have some randomness in resource collection to put actual tension into the deckbuilding process, or you end up with WoW TCG type situations where you are always going to land your 7-8 drops on time, so basically they become overly important in deck design. ie. imperfection in resource collection encourages aggro/rush type strategies to be distinct from late game/control/bomby strategies. Not that I'm condoning copy/paste from 1993, though.

Not sure if that counterbalances the utter frustration of not being able to play the game if your deck doesn't cooperate.

And I dunno if you've played hearthstone which is basically what wow tcg turned into, but there's a *very* distinct difference between aggro, control and combo. You can play a deck with nothing costed higher than 4, or a deck where you deliberately do nothing for three turns to get a full hand and start dropping giant creatures that get cheaper the more cards in hand or lower life you have.

my favourite part of hearthstone is the cards that do randomly distributed damage, sometimes even to your own troops wait poo poo thats my least favourite part
