CAH can be fun. Stop loving white knighting for social justice points on this dead gay forum for 30 year olds. Go to tumbler or what ever for that poo poo to whine about your triggers. SJW’ing about board games is great way to ruin a thread. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

I just introduced my girlfriend to Dominion, and she loves it. We picked up the base set and Intrigue, and now she wants to get Nocturne because she's into darkness and werewolves and stuff. I've been out of the Dominion loop for a while, how does Nocturne hold up to the other expansions?

(Edit: thread regulars are incredibly frustrated by having this conversation about CAH on a semi-regulat basis.) We're taking about board games and why one board game is bad. People have made other recommendations - Apples to Apples is the most direct parallel. Games like Mysterium, Dixit or Codenames are good for groups and a step up in terms of gameplay/cognitive load. For silly games that you don't have to think about, there's Monikers, The Metagame, Spyfall 2, or CV (I think that's the title). That's a large part of what frustrates people (or at least just me) about CAH: content aside there are so many better games to play that tick the same boxes ad CAH except for built-in gross stuff. Apples to Apples is literally the exact same game but doesn't have cards that are likely to make some people uncomfortable. The Metagame can be played as a CAH/AtA clone and same as above.

Go to tumbler or what ever for that poo poo to whine about your triggers. #hottakes and whining about sjw's is well known to not derail threads. CaH is huge and unless you are closeted about gaming your friends/aquantences will ask you about it or to play it. It's very relevant. I turned my friend who played it before I showed them good games exist onto jackbox. There if you are lovely it's on you. Also I have a lot of light, instant to teach party games for the drank beer dont teach me new rules times. Cockroach Poker, skyfall, codenamed. Are great alternatives.

Bum the Sad posted:Life is uncomfortable. It's funny that way. OK, but a lot of people use games as a way to have fun without real world uncomfortable/unpleasant poo poo coming in. Telling them "life is uncomfortable" is going to drive them away from the hobby and is dismissive. Edit: it's literally "play" in the sense of applying real skills to a framework that's nonthreatening

I've been out of the Dominion loop for a while, how does Nocturne hold up to the other expansions? Honestly, I'd recommend you pick up every other expansion first (except for possibly Alchemy). Nocturne is really fiddly and random. Dominion is not exactly the most thematic game anyway, so I wouldn't use theme as a criteria. But if that's important to you, Dark Ages is a much better choice. It changes the game dramatically, but in a more clever way than Nocturne.

Bum the Sad posted:Please stop obsessing about skin color it's really creepy. Yeah well if you need to be racist or pretend to be racist I have nothing to do with you. Amazingly so, people that I play with and I play with a ton of people here in LA, don't feel the need to subject me to CAH, imagine that. Somehow they get the feeling (frankly I don't think any of them even play CAH) that maybe playing with a loudmouth black woman with a black grown son might not be interested in 'big black dicks'.

Superfight is a very good alternative to CaH and is much funnier and has room for creativity and the jokes come from players not cards. Bum the Sad posted:CAH can be fun.

We all get along really well because we treat eachother as people, not as special groups that need to be catered to lest their delicate sensibilities get offended. My gaming group is half Mexican half white with a Turk thrown in. I'm getting strange creepy white man's burden vibes from a lot of you posters who feel you must protect the brown people because they can't take care of themselves.

homullus posted:"The game might be racist trash, but we find it funny 20% of the time and have fun playing literally any game with each other...so all viewpoints on CAH are equally valid"?(??) No. The game is trash, some of the stuff in it is geared to be racist, and that's trash. It's a poo poo game. I'm saying though, that the hair-trigger response some people have of 'You like CAH? You're awful' isn't one that I can get behind, because I have enjoyed playing that game without the racism aspect coming up. I can imagine a world in which someone is ok and still had fun with it. I'm not trying to change your opinion. What's good that's come of this though, is that I've found out about Telestrations, Apples 2 Apples, and Funemployment! All of which I shall look into once I have some coin in my pocket! Yay!
