I'm hemmin' and hawin' about The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 that goes on sale in 15 minutes. It has some nice artwork, and being a bit of a Mondo fanboy I'd probably have to get the special edition, but the gameplay looks kinda meh. My group absolutely loves hidden role games, they love The Thing, and our group usually runs pretty big so 8 players is perfect, but I wonder if that'll be enough.

angel opportunity posted:Is it good on the iPad though? I was in the beta, and it was working pretty well by the end. It made me scratch my head as to why it took them so many years to make what seemed like a pretty simple app. Anyway, I haven't looked to see how much the base game is, but I don't think it's worth more than $3-$4 for just the base game. I believe the expansions will be added later and/or will have additional cost.

I have a group of close to 10 friends that are still obsessed with 7 Wonders and would have all bought and played the hell out of the app but since it's not on phones none of them will bother. It's not even a game that needs a bigger display, it's super easy to design a UI to handle card drafting gameplay for a phone. What a dumb decision.

lol quote:Base Star Realms is a remarkably stable game where an actually "better" player tends to have several good strategies available rather than one go-to, building off initial decisions and availability. People who think it is RNG-driven haven't played enough to actually say that, and people who think it is swingy aren't good enough to see the big shifts coming a mile away.

Went to a local board game meet up tonight. Played Machi Koro for the first time. As someone who likes their games as luck free as possible with a maximum amount of player agency, it was perhaps one of the most painful board game experiences I've ever endured. I felt like nothing I did mattered in the slightest. Roll dice, if you get lucky and get money then hope the most recent card flipped over was good, rinse repeat. We played with 5 people and it took like 2 1/2 hours. I think only the owner of the game enjoyed themselves, and everyone else wanted to die.

Star Realms has a lot of decision making. Do I buy a cutter + federation shuttle and win the game or Do I buya missile bot + trade bot and win the game

I played Keyflower for the first time last night! It's been top of my to-play list ever since I heard of it, since I and the people I played with have sort of got a worker placement/auction game in early access on Steam, and Jesus was it cool. That core working vs bidding with your meeples mechanic was just criminally smooth, as are all the support bits for it (things like getting any meeples working on tiles you buy/etc). It never got quite as mean-spirited as people talk about in this thread, but I do feel like that might just be because it was all our first times. I was expecting the game to feel super tight and restrictive, since you only start with 8 meeples/ you can easily lose a bunch of them to bidding/ some actions can get real expensive real fast, but it actually hit a really solid middle ground for me. Probably my biggest worry (rather than real critique) was that with the way the endgame scoring works it can be a bit brutal when some game mechanics just become super low-value for everyone; in last night's game everyone ended up with a bunch of extra craftsmen that had absolutely zero impact on the game's scoring and it felt a little weird.

As someone who likes their games as luck free as possible with a maximum amount of player agency, it was perhaps one of the most painful board game experiences I've ever endured. So it turns out you also got to play with the expansion, and moreover using a market row. The base game, without the market row, is a fairly simple efficiency engine with dice so you might not do well even if you do everything right. Doesn't take too long. Feels like the dice of catan with nothing else. I enjoyed it a couple times at least. The market row makes it unplayably bad and I would and will prefer doing absolutely nothing to playing it.

That was a terrible addition. I'm playing my friend's Terraforming Mars for the first time tonight, wish me luck on a speedy game.

It's a great game, if somewhat dry. It's one of the few games that I picked up a few years ago that we still play today frequently and the expansions add a bit of extra longevity. It does get a little repetitive after many plays but remains enjoyable regardless. If you plan to play with 2p though you'll definitely want to grab the Britannia or Hispania boards though, the small vanilla map is one of the weaker ones.

Has anyone ever considered trying to build a tiered draw deck for Terraforming Mars? Like, dividing the cards into sections a la Through the Ages or VotK (which is a game that does market row well too) so that you actually care about the majority of your cards versus looking at something really good but useless for most of the game?

Kashuno posted:What is a game that does a market row well and why None really, if you want a balanced deckbuilder. There's lots of game that aren't deckbuilders that use market rows though - the balancing is making new cards expensive as they come out and get cheaper over time. For some reason none of the market row deckbuilders have tried that.
