I've punched out everything for Roll for the Galaxy: Rivalry and stuffed it all into a million different plastic bags inside plastic bags all inside one big plastic bag. And I'm going to have to go back later and sort all the different dice upgrade faces into their own mini plastic bags once I get them. I would take a picture, but I'd rather keep my despair private for now. E: On that note, any good inserts for this thing? Hopefully one that has room for all the stuff.

You don't even have to do that, just stack the two card holders (maybe with some folded paper between to raise the top one a little) and you have two symbols for each card space.

How does the Orb die look? When I saw photos of that it looked like something that would break easily as stuff kept getting pulled out.

I picked it up a few years back in a clearance sale and it's the most value I ever got for £5; a friend picked it up for twice that after playing my copy and thought he'd got a bargain. Spending another £5 on the expansion was a complete no-brainer.

It looks fine, and the die faces fit pretty neatly once you push them in a bit. They give you 10 tools to pop die faces out with , so it should be okay if a few break/get lost. They do make you assemble the fixed Deal game dice though. (cost saving thing with the Orb dice). I'm excited to try them out once I get people through the base game.

Kerro posted:I'm keen to know this too. We've played first edition to death and wondering whether there's any reason to get to second edition as well. You just made me check online to see if my local library has a laser cutter. I don't think they do, boo. They do have a bunch of actually pretty good boardgames available to check out though. I checked out The Grizzled to see how it plays.

Just played a 4p game of Russian Railroads and I still really kinda like the game, just hits my efficiency engine brain. I've heard the expansion German Railroads is good, let's see what it goes f...uck. 200 bucks for this 4 year old expansion because it's already wildly out of print and probably will never go back in print again. Can I print and play it or something??

I'm not saying its game of the year material but seeing it being shat on is really tiresome. It's the lightest game for a 30 min of stupid fun. I kinda resigned myself to playing fillers like that because only one person in my family wants to play GWT with me  e: like there are cheap copies of Project Gaia in stores around because the publisher in my country went bakrupt but I won't even get it because there would be absolutely no one around to play it with me.

It deserves to be shat on. It is the Platonic ideal of the absolute least you can do to make a game. None of this is to say that you're not allowed to enjoy it. If it hits the spot for you, then you do you. But it's barely a game and the fact that people are mentioning it in the same conversation as game of the year is an insult to people who actually bothered to design something.

I'm really disappointed that Root and The Mind basically won everything.  I knew they were going to, but was really hoping they wouldn't. Root is fine, but SUSD had it right: once you've learned the game the fun goes away. And The Mind is more of a collaborative activity than a game itself. Which is fine. The Mind is fine. It's fine. Fine.

Jedit posted:The Mind is just a slightly more complex version of The Game. It's not good or original. Brass is the ugliest game I’ve seen of 2018, second only to Blackout. The winding playerboard is like a graphic designer proffessor’s example of what not to do. The juxtaposition between the original and Birmingham is like going from clean-lined, three-color comic books to 90s comics where everything is cross hatched to death, the palette is gray and brown, and every superhero is overburdened with pouches.

I wonder if it's because I played First Class before RR. That opinion seems more common among folks who played RR first.

I think it's kinda dumb that Hannibal can win again for Best Wargame. The new edition adds some extra poo poo but it's the same exact game that already won when it came out. Just do a Best Reprint category.

Just do a Best Reprint category. How many new war games come out every year? I have to assume at this point every war and battle in recorded history has at least two war games. There must be diminishing returns at some point.

A game doesn't really need to be imaginative or innovative to be a good party game. Twenty Questions or Contact don't have especially creative rules, but they're perfectly good games to play with all audiences.
