It's sometimes good to do something that benefits your opponents (as long as it benefits you more) so yes yes & yes. I may have lost track of yeses but you get the idea I hope. Drinks are distinct individual items just like pizza or burgers. Houses go to the nearest cheapest (they will go 1 tile further to save 1$, two tiles to save 2$, etc) restaurant that can serve ALL their cravings at once. If no restaurant can, they do not eat and stay hungry.

FulsomFrank posted:In other news, got to play my fresh copy of FCM on the weekend even though we just did the training wheels version of it, it was a blast. It was great to feel the gears turning and balancing what the various roles do and how to build the engine that suits you best. I have a question about drinks though: Is it just an opportunity to sell another item at the same time as whatever good they're hungering for? And with regard to ads: do people play billboards/mailers etc. aggressively either A) next to opponents' houses to influence their target audiences into buying from your stores or B) to make them want something like lemonade that your opponent cannot provide? Also, let's say you had two billboards, one advertising pizza and one advertising burgers. Do the affected houses now want both burgers and pizza simultaneously and would therefore not buy only one burger or one pizza? The main difference with drinks compared to burgers/pizzas is how they're procured, otherwise yea, they're just another good to sell to people. In terms of using advertising offensively, you'd typically use it to prevent another player from taking a house, since in order to sell you have to meet a house's entire demand, which also answers your last question. Don't forget that selling at dinnertime and advertising both resolve in numbered order, from lowest to highest.

I find deckbuilding to be a naturally satisfying mechanic so I enjoyed the half hour I killed playing it, but if you've already played other deckbuilders there's zero depth there.

Fat Turkey posted:You can't drop that Mrs Brown's Boys bombshell, note the explanation was just 50 words yet impossible to win, and NOT tell us what those rules are! It's a roll and move game, where on each square you need to complete a party game to move on. The party games are things like pictionary or charades where the active player has to convey a concept and get people to guess it correctly. The people who have to guess the correct answer? Your opponents. If they don't guess it correctly then you aren't allowed to move and need to try again next turn. If they do guess, then you are allowed to move. There is no gameplay incentive for your opponents to try to guess correctly.

Dirk the Average posted:Any thoughts about City of Iron? I remember looking at it quite a while back after Rahdo did a runthrough on it, but I have no idea if it's a good game or not. Apparently it just got a second edition. I backed the second edition and played it Sunday. Having only one play under my belt, I can't say if it has a lot of staying power, but I can definitely see a lot of potential. We played with 2 players, but I feel like 3 or 4 might end up being ideal, just to have more interaction on the goods tracks.

Played Pax Pamir for the first time ever, 5 players and I have to say I am impressed. We had a 3 Russian and 2 British split at the start but my early lead in Russian favour made my compratiots switch to Afghanistan. The game works much better than PaxPo at high player counts and it was much easier to keep track of who potentially was winning. The game feels very thematic and the constant jockeying for position was pretty exciting. The balance is interesting at higher player counts: although the empire with only 1 player will manage to build less, it doesn't have to worry about having its partner trying to gain influence over you. The game did end up a bit kingmakey but the game overall is very worth it. Can't wait to play it again. Also I might get to have a go at 1849 next week.

Yay my copy of FCM arrived  . The ordering page said that all the copies he received from splotter had dented corners which I was fine with but these look perfect? Unless the slight flattening of one or two of the utmost pointy edges counts as "dented", I was expecting rather more significant damage so score, happy all round

Question for the 18xx guys -- are the games on https://sites.google.com/site/aagamesllc/home/ordering-1 shipping in a reasonable time frame (like within a couple of weeks) or do they generally have large queues (specifically looking at 1889)? e: I know it says that it ships within a week, but I was wondering if that was outdated, there seems to be conflicting info online.

Is playing old tta a suitable intro to ntta if you want to see if you'd like ntta or is it so changed that it's better to start with the new version?

Impermanent posted:Is playing old tta a suitable intro to ntta if you want to see if you'd like ntta or is it so changed that it's better to start with the new version? Sure, but you should probably just be playing old TTA because it's a masterpiece of a game rather than as some bridge to something better. It isn't like FFG where each new version of a system fixes the thousands of things wrong with the last. TTA was pretty much perfect for what it wanted to be. The new version is a very mild patch on the old system and given the complexities of TTA it will be a long time before it's even clear if the new version is better or worse.

Old TTA is still very playable and is a good game but nTTA has a lot of quality of life improvements, is much easier to play and better balanced all around. There's a reason why I'm trying to sell my oTTA copy. But yes, playing oTTA will tell you if you like nTTA or not because in the end they are exactly the same America with only some alterations.
