I got Funemployment for like :tenbux: and have had some good fun with it. It requires a higher degree of showmanship than CAH for sure though. Does anyone have a recommendation for a game that gives the feeling of exploration that isn't some $100 4x game that requires a whole day to play and literally nobody will play it with me? I was really hoping for this in Above and Below but wow was that underwhelming. I don't find looking in a book and reading "you find a rope!" Exciting.

That is correct. I'm not sure the point you're trying to make? The End posted:Either this is a poo poo gimmick or you've somehow arrived here from the past.

mage knight maybe? does take some time, but you can play solo and it's not a whole day affair. not super heavy on exploration but you get to run around an uncharted island and burn it to the ground

Theres a similar card system, right? My wife and I have been ripping through GH this year, but I felt what I miss from it compared to other RPGs (we're allowed to call it that, right? At least in the broader definition, not the tabletop d20 one) is the exploration angle. Other than that its definitely my favorite game at this point after 30ish plays.

Bum the Sad posted:You're being reasonable and not just being a knee jerk prick, thank you. I get what you're saying. Maybe I was being dismissive but well that's intentional, not every single persons personal list of peeves can be catered to. Is racism horrible? Yes. Can racial humor be non hateful and funny? Yes. We all laughed at crap like Tribute.avi Benny Hill set to people dying in 9/11 because it was absurdist, it wasn't made with hate. first i'd disagree that this is just a simple pet peeve. like if i made a joke about 9/11 and someone had a family member that died there it'd be an understandable "whoops sorry wont do that again" but its not super unreasonable or unexpected for a black person to object to humor that uses race as a punchline. second, the problem with cah's humor is that it's so dumb and blunt. there's not really any sense of self-criticism, not even any real wit to it. it exists as a social excuse to say things you aren't supposed to, but that's not enough to make an actually funny thing. which ties into the argument that its just a bad game- its not a game about being funny its a game about acting like funny people.* and honestly it's not terribly unreasonable for someone to take that to the conclusion that players of cah just want a vehicle to express bigotry *hot take: much like magic the gathering is loved because it makes you feel like a skilled player

Everybody in here has a 'different viewpoint' what's your point? Calling us names because we don't support games with racism is ridiculous. Trying to claim that games that use 'big black dicks' as a thing aren't using racism as entertainment is also ridiculous. You do whatever the gently caress you want, since it doesn't seem as if we can get rid of you, but don't come in here trying to justify it and think we are all just going to head nod.

Other than that its definitely my favorite game at this point after 30ish plays. context: played like a dozen games of MK coop and solo, played like 10 scenarios on the gloomhaven tts module its deck system is more of a mashup of dominion and like MTG (right after i got done making GBS threads on it)- you start off with a small deck and add to and refine it over time. each game (2-3 hours for 2p once you get going) is basically an entire campaign, you teleport into an island, run around flipping up tiles and murdering whatever orc warbands, fortified keeps, and monasteries that totally started it you flip up. combat is more of a strategic affair (definitely thematically). there's been a couple good PbF games run by stelas if you want to see what it's like

Bum the Sad posted:Yes you are. My viewpoint is it's ok to laugh at some poor taste humor. It doesn't make you a racist, doesn't make the game lovely, just makes it offensive, and again maybe with poor taste on some cards. You seem to believe that you have to be intentionally racist or intolerant, in your heart of hearts, in order to support intolerance or racism. You're framing your argument as 'poor taste in humor', but the specific poor taste in humor we're criticizing is the explicit racism and bigotry that the game uses, and therefore enforces, not vaguely rude things.

I didn't call anyone names I was the one being called a piece of poo poo while trying to explain my thoughts. Please reread. Games that use poo poo like that aren't trying to be hateful their being loving edge lords with poor taste and yeah it's cringy but other parts of the game can still be fun.

I do think it's very unreasonable to assume that people who play a card game they bought at target while getting a case of beer just want to express bigotry. A more reasonable assumption is they're willing to dismiss some lovely shock humor to have a good time. Or maybe they don't see that shock humor as problematic, maybe they're/I are misguided but it doesn't mean they are hateful. Bum the Sad fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Apr 15, 2018 |

I'm looking for a good coop mystery solving game. I've heard generally good things about Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, but I dunno if something better has come along since then. (or if the translation mistakes that hosed with the game have been fixed) Any advice for what to go with? Preferrably something that plays decently with 4 players.

So we played three player Imhotep B side tonight and I won by one point, can't remember the exact scores. Also played four handed Sissi: Die Bohnenkaiserin and lost on the tiebreaker, 17 points each, I had two cards in hand, other player had more. The connoisseurs on BGG were right, Sissi brings more complex trades to the table. Very good Bohnanza variant. Wanted to get in a game of NY slice but various things made the night slow down and we only got the two games in. Edit: didn't realize in Imhotep you reshuffle the cards if the draw pile is empty (couldn't find it in the rules) so maybe could have lost. Who knows! cenotaph fucked around with this message at 07:58 on Apr 15, 2018 |
