I was playing a werewolf game at a college potluck a while ago, it was fun. Don't recall what it was called, but it was a bluffing board game where people got assigned roles including one werewolf and you had to figure out who was the bad guy without murdering innocents.

Was it a card game? I think that's derived from Mafia or something.

Magnitogorsk. posted:capitalism owns, unfortunately Monopoly does not The game was invented by Lizzie Magie to "illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies." The idea was then stolen by Charles Darrow and sold to Parker Brothers repackaged as a celebration of wealth concentration.

They both impulsively kickstart or buy dozens of these 2-300 dollar board games, play them once or twice and then move on to the next one. I'll enjoy one and want to play it again but they've already moved on before we had the chance to actually enjoy the last one. I'd probably be open to playing them more if it didn't involve learning a new game every time. Buying them is like crack to some people.

I had a mate like that, he'd show up to the weekly board game night back in Uni every week with a new game. Some where lemons, some where great. Thing is, he whouldn't want to play the great ones again, because he was always in need of people to try out his 2-3 new unplayed games. All. The. Time. He eventually curbed the habit a bit, got his own board game published (!), got a kid and slowed down. Last I checked he still had a multiple bookcases, spanning an entire wall, floor--to-ceiling with board games. It'd be an amazing library and an opportunity to be a hub for the community, but he's too busy now with kids. Irony.

I did that for a while and then stopped and then the packages came in and now I have enough board game poo poo for my life I think, just in like 5 games Also more board games should be designed for easy setup and cleanup. I got this game Argent and it is really cool but also the setup is absurd.  Board games are so lovely about organization that there are companies who can stay afloat just selling replacement boxes and inserts for the games. Gloomhaven is the only game I've seen in that ~boutique board game~ market that has decent box organization.

Monopoly would probably be better with a kinetic 3D element added to it. Like you land on free parking, turn a crank and send your friend to jail by means of an elaborate plastic rube goldberg machine set up in the empty center of the board

A Smoke Break posted:Someone convince me that getting into D&D is a bad idea and I should be shamed. Newest version of D&D was made with the help of an abusive rapist and huge bullying rear end in a top hat who's finally getting his #MeToo moment and the lead designer covered for him despite it being an open secret for years, and they're stripping the credits for ALL contributors from the books to try to cover it up. (said contributers also include a bunch of alt-right adjacent types and general awful people too) That and D&D itself (especially the latest edition) is widely considered a terrible entry point for the tabletop roleplaying hobby, it's the RPG equivalent of Monopoly. All the groups everyone actually likes (like the popular streamers) either homebrew it heavily or move on to other, better designed games.

Waltzing Along posted:Monopoly is a bad game. What really confounds me, is that, YES. CORRECT. This is the correct and expected outcome of monopoly. It's not a bad game just because of the core mechanics of the game, but also because the intention of the game is for you to have a bad time. This is writ. It's not opinion, it's a fact that Monopoly is kind of like a joke game, it's like Desert Bus, it's like Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - Jazz, (Delicious Hot, Disgusting Cold), its poo poo ON PURPOSE. This is it working. What has happened though, is that the company that makes it will only sell games to stores if they also agree to stock a bunch of monopoly. Since to have games on your shelf in a game store, you kinda need to buy from them, it means you're contractually obligated to peddle Monopoly. (It's almost as if..... etc etc.) It's like if every year at Christmas, across the country, everyone got out an Uwe Boll movie (This is in a world where it is accepted as fact that he did make poo poo films on purpose as a tax break, just go with it for the sake of argument) and hated it, then the rest of the year said "Oh, I don't really like movies. I only really watch 'Alone in the Dark' at Christmas, you know." And it was the general consensus that movies are bad, and that you got idiot cunts saying stuff like "If you watch it in the original 4:3 format at 50fps it's actually good, I refuse to watch it any other way". NO gently caress OFF STOP WATCHING ALONE IN THE DARK FOR ANY REASON EVER THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF GREAT FILMS OUT THERE FOR FUCKS loving SAKE. !Klams fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Feb 18, 2019 |
