CommonShore posted:TV shows I've never heard of, and for whom my clues like JOHN MILTON 5 are a total waste Alas, these quarrelsome knaves, these doltish jackanapes! How they taunt me and shame mine own intellect, vexing me with amorous tales of Lucille and the chimeric sheriff Andrew of a backwater town! I dream only to justify the ways of God to men, and to have them select the pineapple tile! Woe!

I'm glad that at least you all understand. The worst was the time I was forced to play Disney Codenames and I had seen literally none of the movies. It did not go well. My 8 year old teammate was not happy with me.

Why would you even select Elsa? Lord, spare me. Unrelated 'The John Milton FIve' sounds like a pretty lovely Christian rock cover band.

Infinitum posted:How does TI play out over TTS? I can't imagine playing an 8+ hour game like that in one sitting with randoms on the net with all the interruptions that might pop at. The 3 games I've played so far have been 5-6 hour affairs that have played pretty smoothly. There's not been that many interruptions and the random people have been mostly friendly and understanding if you make a mistake.

CommonShore posted:Codenames is alright but I find that you really need to be on the same page as everyone else on your team, not just with Marvell/Harry Potter, etc. I'm 100% burned out on it from playing it at parties with people who want to give clues to one person at a time and whose main touchstones are TV shows I've never heard of, and for whom my clues like JOHN MILTON 5 are a total waste I had someone tell me the name of the goblin bank of Harry Potter. I nor my co-agent had never read the books or seen the movies. I've been guilty of it too, and got a bit salty when my friends didn't know what a patina was.

Spikes32 posted:Is first Martians worth picking up cheap from a friend who is moving? I picked it up cheap, set it all up, started going through the rules, sighed deeply, and put it away. There might be something there, but I think it would take some patience and commitment. Speaking of patience and commitment, I overlooked Goomhaven for ages thinking it would be too much of a commitment. Thanks to whoever suggested picking up Jaws of the Lion. Having fun so far. On the one hand, it makes me want to play the full game eventually, but on the other hand, I don’t think I would have enjoyed it as much without the reportedly gentler introduction that JotL does.

Ticket to Ride Europe is like 33% off on Amazon right now With this coming in, I will have Ticket to Ride, TTR Asia, TTR Europe all delivered this week. Got a few other games too (Disney Villainous, Pandemic, and Carcassone) that I have yet to play. Saturday is going to be filled with board games, though.

Hello, It may be a good time to mention there is a Board Game Thread discord at https://discord.gg/kVwZpaf we are quite chill and relaxed. This is not the TG discord as a whole, this is board game thread specific, but personally speaking if you want to talk about shoes in there that's okay too.

Glazius posted:So, maybe remove Rashid from the pool if you're only playing two players. "In this game about rolling dice one character doesn't roll dice" is a bold statement, but two players is where it starts to break down. Glazius posted:You were playing that you can do a city action up to the number of times on the die you place there, right? I could see that getting missed, which would make traveling much worse. (Note that the "per contract" city actions don't square this - read them as e.g. "up to DIE times get one point for one unique completed contract".) Thanks to everyone else who also weighed in on this game and Concordia!

Dr Tran posted:Pan Am looks fun We've played it two player twice now and have enjoyed it both times. For $35 it's a no brainer  . We are looking forward to playing it with especially 4, as the limited spaces will really come into play then. Maybe they'll let it be posted on TTS or they'll get a BGA implementation, that'd be great.

Target sold Game of Thrones Catan for like $80 on shelves. They'll definitely put stuff at premium prices.

Huxley posted:I never got the big Gloomhaven but am pretty interested in the new one. Amazon says it releases Sept 1, my FLGS has it on preorder, but my local Target apparently has it in stock (but not for curbside, lol). Target gets a bunch of Target Exclusive things which release elsewhere a few months later. It seems to be in that boat, which is weird for something as niche as Gloomhaven, but exciting to see how possibly un-niche it's getting.
