I find it criminal when games with little standie-screens to hide your hand or whatever don't just automatically print a player aid on the back of them. Our family played a shitload of Modern Art over Christmas and having to pass the rulebook around to remind ourselves of what each auction was seemed bad when it could just be printed right there for me to look at.

There’s always one player in the game who is resource starved and probably having a poo poo time for the entirety of the game.

Jordan Draper just released his own mod for Tsukiji Market on TTS.

I like Watergate a lot, our games at home usually end with one person winning just a hair before the other player would have.

I hate playing feast on TTS, personally. Too many small components to track.

Railroad ink is good and they have a kickstarter going for the new editions they are making.

Panzeh posted:I'm waiting for 1817/USA to get a kickstarter. 18USA is the bomb. 1817 won't get a kickstarter, since it was produced in the same batch as 18Ches, at least not any time soon. AAG still has a bunch available to buy right this second, and I can tell you that given the components of 18Ches, it's going to be really good quality.

18Ches is currently available to play on 18xx.games with permission from the designer, and is a very good entrypoint now for 18XX games of the 1830 style. Edit: Beaten by Spiggy.

A note for anyone looking to buy a physical copy of an 18XX game, 18Ches comes with paper money but all other published 18XX games require you to have poker chips, which are superior in every way to paper money anyway.

CommonShore posted:Don't play with the paper money True, anything that you can grab off a shelf will maybe have money, but from experience, paper money for these games is bad. Poker chips stack on charters a lot better. Are just go all the way and use a computer spreadsheet and remove any need for physical money I suppose.

There's a pretty good repository of spreadsheets that automate things pretty well, I've gotten used to it. It's helpful to see at a glance what your actual total valuation is based on the value of your stocks.

PMush Perfect posted:FCM is a little crunchy for an entry-level game. It's also very prone to games ending with Bad Feels for the losing side. Yes, FCM is incredibly vicious. There is an online version if you want to experience that. http://play.boardgamecore.net/ (With blessings from Splotter) Max fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Jun 15, 2020 |

Feast is good at two or three players. The play time goes up by a lot at four, so five seems bad to me.

FulsomFrank posted:Has anyone taken a crack at Imperial Struggle yet that can weigh in? Discriminating Gamer had a good video about it but I'm worried the game almost has too much going on and is losing the fairly simple yet Elegant™ mechanics that made TS so intriguing. They're still shipping out the P500's, though the Vassal mod is available now.

Spiggy posted:That's about 450 dollars for effectively custom stickers, and that's being generous with buying the extra sleeves and shipping costs. AAG it's getting good games but should reevaluate their chip business. To be clear, he's selling those at cost. I don't think anyone wanted them.

Also today is the last 24 hours on the 1822 kickstarter that AAG is running. It's going to get the same quality treatment that 18Ches got.

Sekigahara is a solid two player game that isn't too crunchy and also if you get it for free you are denying the designer money, maybe.

Did a run through of the playbook scenario for Imperial Struggle. The game looks daunting but after running through it and seeing how scoring works it isn't so bad.
