Does anyone have any actual criticism of the game or is it all confused anger about not getting jokes?

Unless you're looking for ALL CAPS NO SPELS INTERNETS AWKWARD as a game wrapper, I'm not sure the game filling is worth one's time. If the wrapper's enough for you, have a ball, but these games are traditionally low-hanging fruit for TG hobbyists because they're done by game design amateurs who ride on internet fame and the fact it's just merch to most folks. A bad game is a bad game, even if I like some of the folks involved.

Exactly. I will never understand the need for people to buy poo poo product wrapped in fandom. "This shirt has three sleeves and is horribly sewn." "But it has SHAREZONE on it! You can't tell me I don't enjoy wearing this shirt."

I’ve just backed Seize the Bean, a deck builder about running a coffee shop in Berlin. Having been there numerous times in the last year, and about to move there, the whole game is hilarious to me.

The real shame is that the Devil's Level board game isn't a heavy euro. I would definitely buy a weird twitter game with Rosenberg or Lucerda-quality mechanics.

There's an outfit that's doing a U-Boot themed survival/management sim that had a successful kickstarter a year or two ago. They've worked with an outfit to make a board gamed based off of the same idea; a cooperative 1-4 player U-boat simulation that runs as a board game in real time. It looks like there is math involved since the game comes with a protractor and some kind of navigation disc. It also has a companion app for various mobile platforms that allegedly helps out with the bookkeeping. Looks pretty interesting, if dense. They have a bunch of mechanics and "let's play" type videos. Seems pretty ambitious to be honest, but it looks like it's well planned and thought out at least. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/phalanxgames/uboot-the-board-game Rhandhali fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Jan 24, 2018 |

I've never heard of this sharing zone chap before. Scrolled his feed back to the middle of December and read a few dozen tweets and was most impressed. Backing the game now, mostly to spite Plutonis.

Anyone have any thoughts on Everdell? It looks really interesting. Kind of reminds me of Manhattan Project's market row/tableau builder/worker placement hybrid design. Except hopefully less... uh... grudge inducing. I love Manhattan Project, but that game is intense.

I've never been much on "ironically bad" humor, personally, but I'm not going to get mad at people who do enjoy it. I mean, unless it's also "ironically racist" i.e. actually racist.

There’s some irony in the 180 of a decent chunk of people to defend the card game (without knowing its rule/gameplay) because they like the internet funny thing behind it. That’s, uh, the whole reason people buy a bunch of those thread consensus “bad” board games (e.g. Exploding Kittens, Cyanide and Happiness, other politically incorrect board games). I think da share z0ne is funny

Oh, I didn't mean that it's bad humor. I mean stuff where the entire joke is that they're doing something that's annoying or unpleasant on purpose. Like Youtube videos that are "the Bee Movie, but the movie speeds up whenever they say bee," or deliberately lovely MS Paint art. Granted, I'm judging this entirely by the Kickstarter stuff I've seen, but it looks like someone just pretending to type like an eight-year-old. It's like Beavis and Butthead, or Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff. I appreciate that the joke is well-done and that a lot of people enjoy it, it just doesn't appeal to me.

I still haven't seen anyone actually explain what the game is like yet, which is weird. Like, Exploding Kittens didn't cop flak here just because it was done by the Oatmeal guy but because the game was also genuinely insipid, a dumb take-that party game where the optimal strategy was quite literally to play as little as possible.

Eagle-Gryphon Games has a new kickstarter, a semi-cooperative game about the French Revolution. Surprisingly, I'm actually turned off the theme. Rescuing innocents during the Reign of Terror is cool, but I have no interest in helping Louis XVII, Dauphin of France. Odds are, even if you do succeed, it just results in an even shorter Bourbon restoration, since I doubt Louis XVII could have ever been as tolerant as Louis XVIII of France.

I don’t think you get the idea. No one actually cares about the game being super good. It’s DA SHARE Z0NE. You’re gonna play it and it’ll be fun and you’ll have a good time with your buds. You should play it while wearing sunglasses with flames on the frames and while being polite and respectful to those around you, because that’s a cool thing to do. Just chill and relax and be cool. It’s really simple at the core.

EVERY TURN YOU PLAY DL, HL, GL CARDS FOR YOUR DEPRESION, HORNY LEVEL, AND GENIOUS LEVEL, AND THEN YOUR TOTAL LEVELS ARE THE NUMBERS FROM THE CARDS ALL ADDED UP THIS IS DL = 6, HL = 3, GL = 4  THEN YOU USE EFFECT CARDS TO STEAL FROM WORK OR BLOW OTHER PEOPLES STUFF AND LEVELS UP. AND YOU CAN DUPSTER DIVE TO GO IN THEDUMP (DISCARD PILE) AND GET STUFF THAT OTHER PEOPLE THREW OUT YOUR LEVELS HAVE TO BE 6/6/6 TO WIN "COOL"

Kai Tave posted:I still haven't seen anyone actually explain what the game is like yet, which is weird. It's a Take That! sort of game, like Mille Bornes, Nuclear War, Chez Geek, etc. They're easy to play!... but generally rely on just random luck of the draw over skill. Also because they have a crabs-in-a-bucket feel, they can drag out as players keep knocking each other down. At that point, the details don't matter too much, but here goes: you draw cards. Some of those cards have a category and a number. You're trying to play cards out to get three piles to get their values each to six (because 666 devil skull wink). There are other cards that let you remove or add cards from your stacks, or interfere with other people's stacks. Further details aren't really available, but largely it depends on what the card mix is like. The more cards that help you score, the faster the game resolves. However, if there are too many interference cards, it can drag out indeterminably (like Munchkin). Best-case scenario is that it's a game that flies by and has some jokes that are funny for a few playthroughs. Worst-case is that it can take hours to get your stacks together and you find yourself begging for the sweet release of somebody, anybody, to just win. Given you have to get three exact stacks and it's a first-time design, I'd lean towards expecting it to be overlong, but there isn't enough detail to be sure. Granted not having enough detail is generally a red flag for any TG kickstarter, but once again, whether or not the game is actually fun is immaterial to many fans.
