I know in card games, they traditionally sit across from each other. That way they alternate turns.

Magnetic North posted:An interesting video game out a few days ago: Horror Boardgames | The Anatomy of Terror's Least Likely Home It's from Spice8Rack who is mostly a Magic: the Gathering content creator rather than a board game one, by way of Youtube essayist which is why it's two hours long. Also, you can scope out dat Spicey board game collection. Oh yeah, I watched that, too! I thought the creator made some good points. Its definition of what makes a good horror game was maybe a little too restrictive, and that game it claimed was the best of the best, The Night Cage, looked maybe a little too brutal for my tastes, but I do agree that the domain of horror games could use some more love. But then, I'm not a horror person. The only horror game I own is that old game Ghost Stories, and that's more of a wuxia film with spooky elements rather than an actual horror game.

Mr. Squishy posted:I listened to SVWAG until I played a few of the games one of the host earnestly recommended as being superior to a game I like, and lost so much respect for his taste that I could not sit through another episode. Guess that means they really are so very wrong about games, huh

I believe they mean a deck where the cards have backs labeled 1, 2, 3, and all the 1s are shuffled together, the 2s are shuffled together under them, etc.

Dear god, and I thought the 4-hour game with 5 people I played a few weeks back was long! Glad to hear you played some fun games, tho. After watching the SU&SD video on Hansa, I really wanna give it a shot sometime.

I played Ark Nova on BGA yesterday, and I did not like it at all. Admittedly, I was still trying to figure out the rules and what all my options were, but at the same time, I got enough of the gist of the main gameplay loop to know I didn't like it at all. It's a "one big deck" game, just like Terraforming Mars and Wingspan, with all the problems that entails. You've gotta have a plot of land, and it needs to be next to the water, and you need the right partner zoos or universities, AND you need enough money, AND it needs to satisfy your win conditions, AND you need three other predators before you can play this, and on and on and on. Congratulations, you have now successfully plotted one (1) animal. Now you need to sift through the entire deck to find another one that synergizes with it, good luck! (:

Don't think I've ever resigned from a game, but I got pretty close when I discovered I'd critically misunderstood how the book-sorting rules work in that little book gnome game. Now, the other guy who was playing it for the first time with me managed to misunderstand the book rules in a completely different way, and when he found out, he threw his entire library in the air and walked away. I stayed. My score was very bad

Mr. Squishy posted:Oh, is Arcs joining the canon of games where you start the rules teach by asking if they know Hearts? I did that for Cat in the Box the other day, and the guy said "no." I went through a long explanation of how trick-taking games work, he figured it out, and then after we'd finished the game, he said, "This was super-fun, but if it didn't have the black-suits gimmick, I wouldn't enjoy it." ...uh, okay?  I promise, other trick-taking games are fun.
