Is anyone really surprised that the people who created "find out which of your friends are racist" aren't stellar human beings?

This is probably the worst place to ask, but are any of the CaH copycats better at being CaH? Ideally keeping the absurdity and pop culture references without the ironic offensiveness (actually real offensiveness).

The Metagame is my replacement of choice. The card selections are good, some of the prompt cards have fill-in-the-blanks, which adds replayability, and the CAH/A2A rules are just one of several rulesets included.

CAH is Apples to Apples for people without imagination, because Apples to Apples can be incredibly offensive but you have to do a little of the leg work yourself. But then I guess that doesn't absolve you from being ironically sexist,homophobic or racist.

Played my first game of Bios: Megafauna last night. It was fun! The turns go very quickly since depending on the oxygen level of the planet you will most likely be getting between two and three actions a round and since there is so much you'd like to do, this leaves you constantly wanting to do more. That said, it also feels like the game is playing you at times, as one of my friends/opponents said, because you have so little to do on your turn that when it comes to the event phase, it's like you spend the same amount of time blowing up the earth. Being the Medea supervillain was pretty great because it let me screw other people and since turns were so important no one wanted to burn a round to take it from me. Herbivores seem the best way to go forward unless you've got some apex predator(s) with tools necessary to either hunt everything or prevent someone from edging into your ecosystem. Like all those games though, it is so incredible front-loaded that the teaching took an hour and a half when the game is actually quite simple. Looks great too!

The first time I played Apples to Apples, years before CAH existed, was with a bunch of edgelord college kids in the mid 00s and it pretty much instantly became CAH, so I was confused when someone told me about CAH as "It's apples to apples but more whatever"

Ideally keeping the absurdity and pop culture references without the ironic offensiveness (actually real offensiveness). Superfight. Especially with the expansion deck that makes it various competitions instead of just fights. You get to create the humor using the cards instead of relying on the prewritten jokes like other games.

Just read the Nicholas Carter article and it's pretty loving disgusting. The only thing I'd clarify is that it was his father that had him committed to a psychiatric ward, but it def was Andy Kushnir overstepping his bounds and contacting Nicholas sister that set the wheels in motion. Everything after that is just lovely lovely lovely. Always used to view the CAH crew as 'The Woke' writers room collective that were just taking the piss with some black comedy style send-ups of taboo topics; maybe it's an Aussie cultural thing that my group never had any issues with it? Even the handful of my super liberal charitable friends were always fine with it. I don't loving know.. Why can't people just not be fuckwits? gently caress sake. Probably going to see if I can sell my collection.

I believe Snake Oil is also a popular thread recommendation whenever the Alt-to-CAH comment comes up. More improv than card selection. Draw 2 cards. Sell me on why Person X needs Product Y. On the topic of BAD CAH Clones I was at a dinner party one evening and Cards Against Disney was brought out, and lemme tell you that game had a super creepy level of fixation on the comings and goings of Elsa from Frozens vagina. It was weird to go from "Whats the next song Alan Menken is gonna write?" type questions to "What sorta dildo does Elsa shove into her frosty sparkly pussy?" every 5 odd goddamn cards.

If you want a game like CAH then what you want is The Big Idea, comes in a small box and it's just a lot of fun in general I think. It's not quite the same formula but same idea.

I'm surprised nobody has suggested Say Anything as the best CAH alternative. It's an Apples to Apples style game, except instead of pre-written response cards, each player gets a little whiteboard to write their answer on. So you get to be creative and funny, instead of the game's writers doing it for you. And you can still be as inappropriate or "edgy" as your group is comfortable with, if that's your thing. Also, if you already own Apples to Apples or a similar game, you can effectively play Say Anything by giving each player a little notepad.

I've enjoyed Trial by Trolly, because you get to build little narratives about what's going on on the various trolley tracks, and then a bunch of people get run over by a train, which gives you that naughty fun without actually being racist trash.

ketchup vs catsup posted:You must be talking about physical weight cause FCM is way more complex than Gloomhaven It depends on how you define complexity. The Gloomhaven ruleset is more complex than the FCM ruleset. However, it's easier to play GH well vs playing FCM well, especially with experienced players for both games.

Finally got ahold of the new Root: The Underworld expansion, as well as the exiles and partisans deck and the clockwork expansion. The Underworld expansion really is fantastic- virtually every aspect of it feels thoughtful and well integrated into the original game. I hadn't expected it to be better than Riverfolk, but I daresay it is. Having two extra maps certainly doesn't help, and they both happen to be terrific. The exiles and partisans deck is also really interesting and adds some fun new options to the game. I've noticed that friends who played the base game casually and thought of the deck (or at least the crafting cards) as sort of an afterthought are much more clued in to the new cards, which is a great sign. My only qualm: do the Moles seem slightly OP? The fact that you can sway a minister by revealing cards corresponding to where you have pieces, as opposed to structures, seems a bit much. It's really easy to get a crazy action economy going for them, almost equivalent to the Eyrie, except unlike the Eyrie, the Moles' equivalent of turmoil isn't nearly as disruptive. It's also been really nice to have the clockwork expansion so that my spouse and I can finally play at home. Until now it's felt impossible unless we have a friend or two over, which hasn't been all that common as of late.

Moles are similar to Eyrie; extremely fragile and easy to knock down if they surge. They can’t just turtle because they need to expand but expansion makes them more vulnerable.
