Food is the one that doesn't matter unless the President's a toaster. If you're playing with New Caprica, civilian ships also don't matter (but population loss from other sources does).

Anyone played Tammany Hall? It sounds like a really good area control game, I kinda wish I had picked it up instead of Dominant Species mostly due to complexity and length. Is it worth having both, one for those odd big game days and one for more general game night?

For anyone who's interested in some hearty masochism, I made a clumsy attempt to fix Boss Monster by turning it into a drafting/light bluffing game, and would love any feedback.

Is it worth having both, one for those odd big game days and one for more general game night? It is really good. It plays best at 5 players, but still good at 4, I don't think 3 really works. The fact that the winner of the last round has the least power in the next round is great.

Yah I really like the idea that the leader has to dole out benefits to the other players, and sounds like it allows for some good bluffing and negotiation as well. Why don't you think it works with 3? A few reviews mentioned it scales really well and works at all counts.

Why don't you think it works with 3? A few reviews mentioned it scales really well and works at all counts. It is better with all the roles filled, plus it stops simple 2 on 1 ganging up on the player perceived to be in the lead. Not broken at 3, but not as good as when you play at 5.

But to answer your question, yes I have downloaded everything from Talisman Island  I have a large folder with all kinds of board game printables, stuff I want to print but haven't got around to yet. It started with my Talisman printables folder, which has become quite large now. I culled from quite a large pool to make my custom set:

On one hand, this is getting too much for my continued belief in existence of Rutibex, and on the other this is far too elaborate for a simple troll/gimmick. Rutibex is either a CIA cell or an ingenious FFG shill paid to silence the critics of its best-seller. [edit] For fucks sake, he even did youtube minecraft videos back in the day, this is just too perfect to be real.

When I can actually get this to work through its fog of bugs, some of the AI is absolutely brutal. It's like you have to play a 110% perfect against a pro-Big Money deck or else you lose all of the time on any AI past like level 3.

Bobby The Rookie posted:This client is still fuckfail. Yeah. It takes an obscene amount of my CPU to run it for whatever reason and it kept stuttering and kinda almost crashing but not really and generally it made me feel like my computer was going to burst into flames at any moment. My computer is not an old computer by any means and really this game should be able to run on a toaster anyway with no issue.

I read this, like the idea, don't know anyone who has the game who would want to do this. They seem to like the game as it is, and are casual gamer types. I could borrow a copy and try it but I dunno if anyone would want to play that. I dunno I feel like this is a decent idea but I just personally can't do it. Keep working on it, I like this idea of making lovely games more playable (obviously you should buy and play games that aren't lovely, but sometimes you have to make the best of a bad situation).

I know it's a beta and all and thus it's not optimised all the way but I'm shocked it even runs badly at all in any state, it's a loving card game, what gives?

Been playing the new Dominion game. It runs fine on my computer. But there are problems: 1. The campaign is interminable - there's like 100 missions against base Dominion. Base Dominion is super boredom town. 2. The AI is terrible. Currently, I'm playing against a single opponent who bought 10 spies. It's taking forever to play out. The only way the AI ever wins is if there's an bone-easy strategy that can sometimes race - like I've lost a few times to Workshop/Gardens (with me playing Chapel/whatever) if someone else co-operates in buying down piles (some of the missions have more players). Oh, and I guess I also lost a really early one because the tutorial makes you buy a random gardens (from there, if you have trouble hitting 5, you can get buried in curses because the computer can open Witch) 3. The UI is kind of flakey.

Speaking of Dominion, there's apparently a tournament at an LGS this weekend (Apparently it's a prequalifier for the Dominion World Championships at Gencon but there's also store credit prizes) 3 player games, all expansions will be used. That's all the information I know. I'm pretty much only familiar with basegame + Intrigue. What else should I know/be on the lookout for, strategy/super-bomb-card-wise?

Trying to organize a work-related boardgaming evening, so I bought Cash n Guns (2nd ed) and Pictomania. Pictomania especially I hope will be a hit. As well as that will probably bring Resistance Avalon, Toc Toc Woodman and Ugg-Tect. Any other suggestions (I'm not bringing 18OE or Campaign for North Africa, no).
