Bottom Liner posted:The CEO of FryxGames using an overtly racist dog whistle* in his interview defending the use of AI art for TfM led me on a quick tour of their employees facebook feeds to find a whole bunch of white supremacist bullshit from all of them, including and especially the artist, ceo, and designer (3 brothers, from what I can tell). Not the most surprising thing from a western European family with 16 loving kids, but uh, might wanna add that to the list of why TfM is hot garbage. Don't suppose you have receipts?

SettingSun posted:I only teach chess my obviously blundering my queen and both rooks one after the other, dramatically throwing my hands in the air shouting 'you tactical genius!' I was taught San Jaun and the first game the teacher milled the deck looking for specific cards and combos. Was it a fair game? No, not in the slightest. Did I still have fun, yes. If I teach a game, the above secnario is where I'll draw a hard line.

About to get a game of Star Trek Ascendancy on the table, with 3 people. Any suggestions to minimize downtime, or any things to watch out for?

The Eyes Have It posted:If someone's playing the Vulcans then they will probably win by surprise with new players since no one knows their hidden victory condition, and no one will know what their hidden victory conditions are "like" in general, and they're all focusing on their own poo poo because they're new. We only managed to get through 1/2 of the game (Only had time for 3 hours) but I like-ish Star Trek Ascendancy. The tips really helped as everyone is either new or returning after having played the game a few years ago. The thing I am going to takeaway from Ascendancy is the cool Map system. It's entertaining to watch as people figure out how to block lanes, or block planets to protect themselves and form chokepoints. My only complaint would be the game length. Even though we are new, I think if we were experienced you would still have some downtime after your turn is done.

Carillon posted:At this point in my life I really try not to get on people for liking stuff that I don't like, but I'm certainly mystified by the love these games get. There are games out there with great production values that don't have these rules or game play issues. And the person leading the event said they love Stonemaier and it's their favorite publisher. It certainly takes all kinds, and I guess it's good practice for realizing that folks get very different sources of enjoyment out of games. While they might not be for me, I remind myself that that is ok. Oh man, Stonemaier is awesome. Most of their games I find you can explain in one or two games, and there is enough depth they don't get boring after 3-5 plays. Scythe, Terraforming Mars, Wingspan has enough moving parts to keep me interested, and want to play again. I've even played Tapestry, and apart from the iconography, same rules apply above. Charterstone is fun as well, but that's more because of all the unlocking components you get. I'm not saying they are the greatest, best games, but I would go out of my way to play them.

How did it manage to take 7 hours? I've played with newbies, and our game takes 2.5 hours max with 4 players.

Terraforming Mars is a great game. I haven't had a 7 hour game, which sounds horrendous. We play it semi-reguarily, without expansions. Only a few people that play with us are hardcore, with the rest of us not having memorized the deck. It was a pretty cool moment when a dude manage to steal banker from me by utilizing that card that turns heat production into money production.

million dollar mack posted:Played Scythe for the first time in ages last night and came third, behind the two combinations of boards that have been banned - obviously we didn’t realise until after, when those two had both run away with the game. I love Scythe too and agree with you about the solitaire part, and the factions/boards. Once you have people that have a few games under their belt, combat becomes more of a threat.

Tekopo posted:Board gaming is extremely popular but the subset of nerds that play board games and obsessively post about it in dead internet communities is far smaller. I'll add onto this that when I shared my enthusiasm for Terra Forming Mars, the general reaction made me lurk, rather than share my other experiences with board games.

I have had teaching games where people want to resign mid-game. Usually its either the game is too much, or their AP is getting in the way of their enjoyment.

Over the weekend my group played Yedo and I have to say it was quite enjoyable. It was more interactive than Lords Of Waterdeep, with the bidding phase, and the watchmen/action cards. I think I'll replace lord of waterdeep with Yedo in my collection.

Just played World Of Warcraft: The Adventure Game (2005), with the expansions. The good,: The combination of leveling up, feeling more powerful, is done really well. It's neat at the start you are afraid of lvl 2 enemies, but mid-point, you can destroy them. There were enough options between getting new powers, items, and facing enemies, that the game felt interesting, and we were invested enough the time went by quick. The Bad: I wish the guy who owned it focused more on teaching, and helping us out. The game isn't complicated, but falls into the Sentinels Of The Multiverse issue of too many modifiers to keep track of. The game is more "Arkham Horror" levels of randomness, that I think balancing it wouldn't work. The Ugly: The game took 5 hours We did simultaneous turns. Trying to do your turn with your team while others are talking, while figuring out the modifiers was too much. All in All it was neat to experience the game, and I do like its combat system, and how it interacts with the powers players get. But a 5 hour game is too much, and I think I will never, ever do simultaneous turns ever again.
