:ssh: It's not the titty miniatures that keep women from playing nerd games.

Woman just don't like board games on average. There are currently 1463 male chess grandmasters in the world, and only 33 female. Chess is not a sexualized game at all, so it can't be misogyny that's keeping woman from playing it. Given that any board game is going to have a 98% male audience, it stands to reason that it should be marketed in ways that appeal to men.

what's everyone's thoughts about introducing Dominion to a dude who's only played like MTG and D&D before. like I don't mean "should I do it", or tips on the rules (a goddamn monkey could teach dominion), I mean like what should I do for the kingdom cards. base set? all random? cherrypick?

Citation needed.

IIRC, some random woman he dated a decade ago random posted on face book "This guy raped me a decade ago. I mean, I don't want to cause any trouble or anything, but he raped me."
Then nothing ever came of it, other than Max being banned from a convention or two, based on just the accusation.

Kevin Siembieda's sex life must be pretty good. I mean, the guy can talk people into buying the same set of (ill-conceived) equipment stats over and over again for 20 years with steadily declining art quality--he must be able to talk a lady into some funky stuff.

Plus, total cutey pie:

Yeah youre right, i misremembered the severity of the accusation. His games still suck rear end though

In other news, Tash-kalar owns. I really need to play some deathmatch now to sate my bloodlust for murdering lines of pieces with the cannon though

Welcome to the world of solo games. I'm really digging Space Empires 4x right now.

Played a small solo against the doomsday machines on normal last week. I won by a little.

Played the bigger one against hard and I lost. By a little. I'm trying to think of ways to improve my game. Though I think I might gently caress with the map some. Split my empire with a wormhole. It all happens too fast. No time to try and discover it's weakness.

Maybe an outpost extention in the middle of the map.

It looks like King Ludwig is 38.99 on Amazon right now, which it reports as a 21% discount. How does that compare to local game shops, and does anyone anticipate any substantial discounts for Black Friday / Cyber Monday?
