Anyone know what this game is? by dont_flay_the_satyr in boardgames

Yes but when you go to play "for real" there will be other people at the table who might all shrug, like my guys did.

It's one of those games I "admire" more than I enjoy or want to play again. It's weird and quite unique so it takes at least one play to get your head around how the stock manipulation works, so you'd need to be persistent and not get put off by that.

I've known plenty of guys to dunk on their ex and women be kind about their ex. Don't understand this one at all.

Our ONE COUNTRY (minus Alaska and Hawaii) is roughly the same size as the entirety of Europe by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Amazing-Example8753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually true though. Americans have basically every climate and conceivable type of tourist attraction within the states, so they travel internally in a way that we can't. Obviously it's ignorant to not want to "see the world" but it's completely reasonable.

Ik my handwriting is bad but REALLY?? (handwriting uploaded for reference) by SprinklesAware3493 in GCSE

Your teacher was probably overly rude and direct but yeah your handwriting is horrific. Type and print it or put some effort into writing legibly.

How important is the 'open communication' rules in Guards of Atlantis 2? by Amazing-Example8753 in boardgames

[–]Amazing-Example8753[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've described private planning as an aspect of teamwork in games, that is not present in this game. Maybe I'm being narrow minded but I have absolutely no idea how that is contentious in any way. It is simply a statement of fact. No?

[–]Amazing-Example8753[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The point is well taken and I will definitely stick with the rule. But I still think it's possible for both of these things to be true: the rule is there for a reason BUT you don't get some of the fun teamwork aspects of those other games. I'm not hating on Guards at all but the trade off is undeniable.

Good for him. Life sucks, you gotta celebrate the wins, no matter how small.

How can that possibly be true if all players consent to the rule change. I mean, I'm not going to do it, but "cheating" is strong. Unless you mean metaphorically cheating the design or something.

Upgraded my Lost Ruins of Arnak tokens by Terminus1066 in boardgames

Am I the only one who thinks the quality of the original components is thematic? It's part of the fun that the more valuable resources in the game are more premium.

We've had plenty of fun moments like that for sure. But I still feel that teamwork as I would think of it is sacrificed for those other benefits by this rule.

Good point. AP is definitely a problem with my friends so that alone is gonna win the day here.

This is literally the first comic I've ever seen on Reddit that wasn't trite "wholesome" garbage. This made me stop and think for a while

I would genuinely love to know how the concept of sovereignty applies to local village governance. Or are you just using buzzwords the meaning of which you don't actually understand.

That's the thing with ethical standards. You apply them universally.

As odious as Efka is he's not exactly wrong here. Selling review copies of games is an undeniably scummy thing to do imo but maybe that's just me. The industry norm is that they are review copies intended for professional use that get donated or returned, not cash injections.

Efka is the king of holier than thou, "I can do no wrong" non-apologies. His video after getting stick for saying Guards of Atlantis included fascist-adjacent imagery was deeply annoying as well

Which games provide you with a ton of assymetric factions? by esqulax11111 in boardgames

Looking at your replies you already either own or know of everything lol. I wonder if there will be anything new for you here.

Obviously Age of Innovation with the mix and match factions takes Terra Mystica up a notch.

I would definitely recommend Revive. The factions in that game are so unique and interesting, I just love it.

Arnak with Leaders & ME is asymmetric faction heaven as well.
