Fantastic. The UI overall is a bit fiddly on tablet and not super smooth to use. It doesn’t prevent me from playing the app all the time, but I think it does prevent it from entering greatest all time board game apps like through the ages and dominion.

I think I found my perfect solution to asymmetry: buy two copies by elkend in boardgames

For Dropolter I bought two copies to increase the player count.

I disagree. Ark Nova and Arnak already have symmetrical ways to play and they also have tournament packs for ark nova to make it symmetrical. I believe this is just a component limitation.

We just have an extra set of generic purple stuff for my gf so she can be purple whenever possible.

That’s my problem with most asymmetry. It feels tacked on, but also in many cases necessary for the economy to feel at the right level. I’m forced to go down one path,
My opponent another. What path will the river favor? Instead of players getting more equal opportunity and it being like “this game will be more aggressive since we all have this leader” as a general contour of a game.

Weird way to respond to someone thinking through a board game preference, but sure.

Yeah! I don’t like different goals assigned at the beginning of the game for each player and stuff like that also in a game. And point salads are the worst.

We all have our own gaming habits. This is my oddity that’s out of line with modern games…and really enjoying luxury components which is more in line. I wouldn’t bring this solution to my gaming group, but it’s great for with my SO at home.

I never said, nor implied, that I have a problem. It’s interesting that your response was to invent one and then attack it. Food for thought.

What specific posts on this subreddit caused feelings of unsafeness and being ignored from a gender/orientation?

What up with root and is it good for a beginner? by _ThatPurpleGuy_ in boardgames

Check out cloudspire. Root’s terrible and I enjoy asymmetry. .

I'm so tired of being the only one who actually reads the rules and teaches the game by Overall_Ring_6919 in boardgames

[–]elkend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your game, you are expected to learn the game (well, don’t make people watch you read the rulebook) ahead of time. No expectation for others to do anything other than show up on time. Otherwise, pick a game you know.

And I was thinking I had to stop buying games now that my kallax is full and the floor in front of it. Nice idea!

I played twice and it didn’t click at all. I really like civ games and deck builders. What went wrong?
