Next time, attribute it like "I heard a rumor that". Nobody can fault you for hearing rumors.

Gloomholdin' is like those outfits in fashion shows where they took an idea and pushed it to the absolute limit of what's possible in a design space, and no, I'd never want to WEAR that loving thing, but it's a drat impressive design, and there's probably a lot to learn from how much of it does or doesn't work.

With the golden age of LCGs being over, I don't really know what to recommend, either. (Especially since 'has exciting booster packs' and 'isn't cash-fueled' are basically mutually exclusive.) If you want recommendations about old, defunct TCGs, the ancient Decipher LotR CCG is way better than a card with 'movie still' card art has any right to be. Just, uh, don't touch anything past Return of the King block, that was when the power creep got stupid ridiculous.

The worst thing about Chaos in the Old World is that it's guaranteed to summon two different kinds of people when you mention it: Elitists who say you should play "a real COIN game", and Warhammer 40k fans. I'm not sure which is worse.

You don’t order a Kickstarter game to play it, you order it to sell it for $300 in five years after the publisher collapses.

I genuinely enjoyed Clank! In Space!, though it's got a few too many rules for what it is.

I’ve been playing base game only War of the Ring off and on for a long time now and still never felt any particular draw towards needing the expansions.

I imagine if I played WotR often enough (or lurked BGG enough) to explore all the possibility space on strategies, the expansions would do a lot for that, but I mostly play only with one other person (hi, Circl!) and our meta is nowhere near solidified, or even fully explored. On our last game, he opened with Free Peoples by having Gandalf go on an activating spree in the North, and I spent basically the entire game on the back foot because neither of us had really done that before, and I didn't know how to respond. (What meta we do have mostly revolves around Saruman and/or Gandalf the White, since that early action economy is so, so loving good.) Genuine question, what does LoME add, both in a literal sense, and strategically? girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Sep 23, 2022 |

More Gloomhaven video game trip report: Getting mollywhopped by a difficult encounter doesn't feel nearly as bad in this version when setting up to give it another go is as quick as clicking "retry" or "return to Gloomhaven", instead of 15 minutes of set-up/teardown, and the game flows much better in general. It almost feels like this is the game as it was meant to be and the board game is a clunky-but-faithful adaptation. Edit: Big shout-out to the modding support, and incorporating a ton of common house rules as optional rules you can toggle on or off (including the ever-loved 'summoned monsters still drop gold').

armorer posted:I am pretty much always willing to play that game, but I try to make sure people know what they're getting into because I've seen some people bounce off it really hard. BatHotH (pronounced "Bat Hoth" and you can't stop me) is in the 'experience generator' genre of board games, alongside ones like Cosmic Encounters and Tales of the Arabian Nights, and I think that they, more than basically any other genre, have the greatest correlation between "personal first impressions" and "general feeling about the relative quality of the genre". Edit:I guess what I'm saying here is that if you really like Bat Hoth, try Tote Ann, and if you really hate Bat Hoth, definitely do not try Tote Ann. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 08:28 on Oct 5, 2022 |

Anonymous Robot posted:Anyone have ideas for games you could play outside on a nice afternoon? I think Azul would work, since it’s all tile based. No cards to get blown around. I mean, Hive is the obvious answer, you could probably play that game in pouring rain during an earthquake if you really wanted to.

Gumdrop Larry posted:cEDH is essentially oxymoronic. Attempting to approach a fan-made format turned official loaded to the gills with deep, fundamental imbalances, RNG, and myriad other design flaws competitively is inherently fairly absurd when you pull back and look at the big picture from a game design perspective. Power to the people who want to try and muddle through such a thing I suppose.
