Mayveena posted:...the 2nd edition Great Western Trail now has Black engineers (anti historical yes, but when it comes to representation, having them there is important)... This is great to hear, but he decided to not go with black cowboys which is both inclusive and historical? Or maybe you don't see pictures of cowboys besides the box cover, IDK never played? edit: gently caress you COVID, what a miserable year for gaming. A few party games missing, but otherwise complete:

My family just calls Farkle “Dice” and we have some wonky house rules that official Farkle doesn’t have. My favorite is double doubles rerolls a bust. Also I have played with people who say you must take all 1,5’s which is the worst way to play because 5’s are garbage and should only be taken to keep rolling. Edit: Farkle is chill, its Bunko that can die in a fire. The only depth of decision is whether to cheat or not, god that “game” blows. djfooboo fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Jan 5, 2022 |

Lacerda’s are great “my friend owns it games” since they are too much shelf volume/dollars for game payout IMO.

I look at game plastic as not bad because it isn’t single use plastic like those stoppers in a coffee or something. It is a durable good that can be theoretically enjoyed many times by many people. Now packaging material used in games drives me nuts. When I unpacked my StreetMasters all in I was disgusted at the vacuum pack plastics in my garbage can.

Infinitum posted:So I'm not a huge Dice Tower/Tom Vassel fan, but they've recently done their Top 100 Games of All Time list and Ark Nova is Tom's #1 - which is a pretty big loving call, seeing how it only released last year, and likely a huge loving boost to its popularity. Wow, didn’t expect that outcome. It’s been on my radar.

Azran posted:I see the Anniversary Edition of Castles of Burgundy comes with a lot of extra expansions and promo stuff (player mats, Geese tiles, Inns, etc). Which ones should I use and which ones should I forget about? As someone who own nearly all the promos from the 1st printing edition. I reccomend playing them one at a time. But if I were to rank the amt of fun it would be this: 1. Team Game 2. Trade Routes 3. New Tiles, but especially promo 1 tiles 4. Solo 5. New boards 6. Everything else

Infinitum posted:Hilariously a 3x3 does not exist in Australia, but it definitely does exist on the IKEA US site. I see plenty of off-brand Kalaxes in 3x3. All Big Box stores have em in the states. Likely there is an Aussie off-brand version? I use the Better Homes and Gardens ones and they have survived two multi state moves no problems. They even have “wood” grain which I prefer to black/white/gloss from ikea.

PRADA SLUT posted:In other news, Frosthaven will be $250 MSRP because it's a colossus of a game: Looking around, Cepholophair has 30% discount off MSRP and was as high as 40% off. So as long as you aren't FOMO or they do MAP shenanigans you are looking at $175-$150 which seems VERY resaonable compared to some of the KS All-In dreck at even higher prices. I am waiting for a 2nd printing myself because I know there will be errors in 1st printing, plus I want the book version so hopefully there will be news on that once they hit print on the base stuff.

IRT ColorBlindness and accessibility, I was very saddened when meeplelikeus went on hiatus. Their near academic deconstruction on accessibility was my kind of inside baseball as someone with lifelong color blindness frustrations.

I've usually got Tussie Mussie on hand, but wouldn't mind some more options (anyone have any experience with Button Shy's other games?). If you carry a purse like my grandma you could fit 2x TtR size boxes  Also, I suggest Hanamikoji. Especially the boys love version as a good 1v1.
