finished Pandemic Legacy Season 0 with one loss, by far the best of the series in story and gameplay.

pointsofdata posted:We've only played a few times, but people in my group normally only go hard on egg laying in the final round Mr. Squishy posted:It's a sign of an imperfect game where everyone's final 5 turns should be doing the same action. Though I'll chose to play Wingspan over plenty of other games. if I remember correctly the final round is....4 of 22 total turns per player? I remember it bleeding in to the second to final round too. that's a lot of the game spent doing the "take points" action.

armorer posted:Is it available anywhere in the US at the moment? I guess it would be easy to proxy if not, if the counts of the different dollar value cards are publicly available anywhere. just looked in the rulebook: 5 x 60, 70, 80, 90 6 x 10, 40, 50 8 x 20, 30 EDIT: also the expansion adds 5 x 100 as a module.

armorer posted:Thanks, so really just two decks of cards and a bunch of dice would be sufficient to proxy everything. Is there anything else to the expansion besides the 100k cards? the expansion is many variants you can mix and match into the game, but none require components beyond more cards or more dice. the rules are here: https://www.ravensburger.de/content...oulevard_EN.pdf

Admiralty Flag posted:Never played an auction game until last weekend, when I played both Ra and Medici. Any recommendations for easier-to-get/more contemporary offerings in the genre? If it matters, my wife and I preferred Ra by a bit. Modern Art The Estates Keyflower are I think the gold standards of auction games. I played the new KS release Brick & Mortar over the weekend and really enjoyed it, bunch of auctions in there.

habituallyred posted:Invited over to play Monopoly Deal. Was my reflexively crossing myself an overreaction? Is it actually a fun game, unlike the Landlord's Game aka Monopoly? I've heard very good things about it as a simple fast fun filler game, and for the $8-12 it costs I dunno why I haven't bought it yet.

7 Wonders is bad because at 3-4 players there are many many better games and at 5+ it is effectively random. Duel is great.

Radioactive Toy posted:where the Chancellor could not win with the current board state, but the two Exile players following her both would win at the beginning of their respective turns. She could potentially stop one from winning but not both, and the first exile could not stop the second. It’s been a couple months but I think this is exactly what happened in our first game of Oath. I didn’t realize that was a common issue with / discussion topic about the game.

Feels like y’all are over complicating this. Have a section called “if you’re new to modern board games” and gather the lists I’ve seen in the last couple pages. Stick to the easier stuff. Have a section called “if you’ve played a few++ modern board games” that says “tell us what you like and what you liked about it and we’ll take it from there.” That’s all you need.

GrandpaPants posted:cultural appropriation while this is top of mind it sure would be nice if mostly European designers stopped theming games based on non-European cultures. I'm looking at you Targi Ra Goa Bora Bora Tikal Ghost Stories Takenoko Vanuatu At the Gates of Loyang Gugong Tekhenu Rajas of the Ganges Holi Maharaja Jaipur Teotihuacan Aztec T'zolkin Tigris & Euphrates Nippon The Great Wall Santiago Agra Taj Mahal Trade on the Tigris The Great Zimbabwe Imhotep this is just off the top of my head + the BGG top 400. I left off some obvious games about European interactions with non-European cultures. as the hobby grows it would be nice if these names/themes were available to designers from those regions or with the right context/connection to them.

Bottom Liner posted:Pretty sure they're not posting in good faith. I am posting in good faith as a person of Indian heritage. Slimy Hog posted:I don't agree with this take. It's fine to design games about a culture you're not part of as long as you take care to be respectful and get input from those who ARE part of that culture. I’m curious which, if any, of the designers of the games I listed did so.

Triskelli posted:I can’t say that any of the games you’ve listed that went through a sensitivity pass, but John Company and Pax Pamir are notably missing from your list & are thread favorites. Do they pass the grade? I left John Company out among others because it’s explicitly about the manipulations Europeans perpetrated against other cultures. Thematically I separate that from “I’m going to call this route building game Taj Mahal.” Pax Pamir is tougher because it attempts to model a response to European manipulation.
