I don't know why people are so down on Nemesis. You know how in Alien movies some of the characters make bad decisions that get them killed? The game perfectly recreates that experience. As in, if you bought the game, you made a bad decision.

Arkham LCG basically killed my interest in any other Lovecraft-themed game

grate deceiver posted:Don't know if that's what Llyranor meant, but for me, kinda yeah. There's way too many Lovecraft games, feels like it's become this decade's 'zombies' theme. I got the one good one, that's all I need (also 3ed for when I want to play it in a bigger group). Don't care for the theme for the other games, but the balance of deck construction and narrative campaign in Arkham LCG is just top notch

I played King of Tokyo with my nephews and they did love it. Actually, they loved it so much that playing it for hours multiple days in a row is now one of my boardgaming circles of hell.

I like the theme of Robinson Crusoe. However, I find the amount of randomness relative to the complexity/fiddliness of the rules a significant flaw. You'll be wasting a lot of time learning and memorizing the rules, only for some scenarios to decide on a 50:50 card draw whether you encounter a very trivial event, or whether it'll leave your entire party near-dead at the beginning of the 2nd round. It can be a fun game, but I'm not convinced it's a well-designed one.

Yeah, landscapes are the best addition to Dominion. Which is why I think Empires and Renaissance are the best expansions to have.

Those bashing KDM are missing the big picture. The important news is that the tasteful big boobies pinups are available in the KDM store now!!!!! KDM is so great!!!!! Wearing a KDM pinup is a mandatory requirement at our game night table as proof that we are all good taste havers. Have a look at the pinups art on the KDM store, and if you still have a neutral or negative view of the game, I will strongly judge you. Edit: I won't post pictures here because I don't know if it's allowed. Not everyone can fully appreciate tasteful art. Llyranor fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Dec 18, 2021 |

It's just a bunch of people pinning down a nearly naked woman, blindfolding and tying her up, for a wholesome ritual. I see it all the time in my animes. I don't even know what's going on between the legs.

Snooze Cruise posted:you know there is a way to like, comment on something being gross without kinda acting gross and weird yourself I was just (unnecessarily) trying to highlight the absurdity of someone writing a long wall of text showing their extensive research on how the game definitely doesn't depict sexual violence when it's right there in everyone's face. That they wrote "Oh it’s totally sexual, just not a depiction of assault" should be all that needs to be known about the KDM defender.

No more boardgame purchases for me for a while. I'm just waiting for Sleeping Gods and Tides of Ruin to arrive at some point in 2022 (order is just waiting on the expansion reprint). I should also be getting Aeon's End: Legacy of Gravehold next month. That might possibly be my last crowdfund ever. In hindsight, I never really needed to kickstart anything ever.

radmonger posted:Is there something actually unusual or weird along those lines he has written somewhere? Because the stuff actually linked is basically a summary of wiki articles that themselves summarise a lot of legitimate academic research and controversy, on which no side is either obviously right or, as far as I know, aligned with white supremacy. Yeah, they just really hated bankers. Which is why they rounded up all the jewish bankers, all the LGBTQ bankers, all the bankers who had various physical or intellectual deficiencies, etc. Eklund whitewashes millenia of antisemitism which led to the 'banker' stereotypes and downplays nazi hate ideology.

Best of all is when a KS game releases with 5 expansions at the same time. You just know they definitely didn't skimp out on playtesting, especially taking feedback from the base game to make the expansions better.

Bottom Liner posted:Don’t buy Kickstarter games because they’re a crypto site now is a suggestion I can get behind. I can't believe you would say that. What if money were beautiful? Celo, pronounced /ˈtselo/ means ‘purpose’ in Esperanto. The spirit of Esperanto and auxiliary languages, is to equip speakers with a means to connect, engage, and build trust with someone who speaks a different native tongue. In a similar spirit, we are aiming to create a new platform to connect people globally and bring financial stability to those who need it most. We believe blockchain technology is one of the most exciting innovations in recent history and as a team we look to push the boundaries of what is possible with it today. More importantly, we are driven by purpose – to solve real-world problems such as lack of access to sound currency, or friction for cash-transfer programs aimed to alleviate poverty.

Yeah, I sleeved High Society and it still fit, but it wasn't the greatest. I sleeved all of The Crew and Mission Deep Sea and they fit the box, but yeah, from a functionality perspective, you don't need to sleeve the small cards of either game at all.
