It is nearly Autumn in this year of our lord, 2017, and, yet, do I still see a glowing recommendation for Love Letter in the OP?

jivjov posted:Does Love Letter stop being awesome in Fall or something? Love Letter was never a great game. Rarely does the choice between which of two card require any consideration, since in nearly all circumstances the choice is obvious. Hold high cards, play low cards for effects, rinse, repeat. Without meaningful decisions, it's a fidget toy, a tactile social engagement to shoot the poo poo over. It is not an "awesome" game. It takes five minutes to play, so, sure, if you have exactly and only five minutes, go ahead and play Love Letter. Outside of that specific circumstance, you are better off with a different game.

Tekopo posted:I think that's the point, though. Because it only takes like 2-5 minutes to play, the issues of randomness are attenuated. No one thinks that Love Letter is some high strategy mental workout, but for when you want something to pass the time, it's perfect. I used to play it when waiting for people to arrive when playing 18XX. The OP even says that it's perfect as a filler. If you only have five minutes before you train game starts, why not just have a conversation with your friends? Love Letter adds nothing to your game night.

homullus posted:Love Letter is good, accessible, has interesting decisions (especially when playing with those familiar with the game and game state), and does so with a tiny deck and table footprint. Additionally, you may be a broken robot if you earnestly believe that playing Love Letter is mutually exclusive with having a conversation with your friends. I would rather talk to my friends while playing a game that isn't garbage designed for children and clowns, but I guess if you yourself predominantly play on top of an overturned milk crate behind the circus, then I must concede your point. Beep boop.

Tragedy Looper is, I have been told, a wonderful game, but I would never know because it has proven impossible to convince anyone to actually play it. PS Anime is good

Moriatti posted:I like Secret Hitler for that player count, but I'm not sure it adds much you aren't getting from Resistance, so only add it if you enjoy that genre a lot. Any who suggests Secret Hitler to their fellow man deserves to be first against the wall when the revolution comes. Edit: Second against the wall. The first to pay for their sins will be the CAH evangelists.

Secret Hitler isn't a deduction game, as it is impossible to say for sure if anything is true. By allowing blue team (liberals?) to play fascist policies (either by choice for the card effect, or involuntarily because they forced to chose between two fascist policies), it becomes impossible to deduce anything. Without deduction, it's not a social deduction game. It's just an activity you can do to pass the time while, I assume, making anti-Semitic jokes.

Bobby The Rookie posted:The policy deck introduces random chance into the game's social deduction aspect, which is good only for people who are terrible liars but bad for everybody else because you can pick a good team and still get screwed on the policies. Likewise, the two-person party limit of chancellor and president is rather boring and only the slightest bit risky because of the aforementioned randomness of the policy deck. *extremely Denzel Washington voice* My man!

I will admit that the Secret Hitler components are amazing. More social deduction games need tiny envelopes to hold role cards, and the Chancellor placard, while wholly superfluous, is a pretty baller prop.

How are y'all talking about dexterity games without bringing up Cube Quest? Cube Quest is dope.

CaptainRightful posted:A "local" dude is selling Cave Evil + expansion for $280 if anyone's interested in an exceedingly rare game with elaborate death metal graphics that is also mechanically terrible. I bought Cave Evil during its second print run for only $100. I have never played it, but every once in a while someone notices it on my shelf. We take it down, marvel at the artwork, then put it away to play a better game. That's my story, thanks for listening.

Regardless of the why, can't we all just agree that Tom is an unbelievably boring basement dwelling troglodyte, and move on with out lives?

The weirdest theme for a game is Guts Of Glory, in which players try to eat more rubber tires, radioactive waste, and spiders than their opponent. The game features upgrades like extra teeth, and heavily involves a regurgitating into other people's mouths mechanic.

I finally tried Patchwork and I've returned to this thread after like 18 months to let you all know I'm very mad that the tiles don't fit together nicely on the player boards. Sad!!
