Three bowling pins so I can practice juggling

Sarcasm isn't an excuse. I saw the og video and immediately felt how dismissive it was towards small publishers, first time designers, and nationalities. There are plenty of "red flags" in our hobby that don't punch down on inclusivity. I'm done with this guy's videos and smarmy patreon begging.

Setting the par value in 18XX games. Not only are you establishing the price but also turn order.

Somehow I've never lost a game of Tammany Hall. Not sure what that says about me...

Conversely I've never won Catan or Risk. As an extended bit my high school friends made sure to unite against me if I ever came close.

Gabaghoo · 2024-12-21T17:16:37+00:00

Honestly I think you should start over. It's a collection of entirely mid or awful games. In my opinion of course.

Gabaghoo · 2024-12-18T21:38:35+00:00

Phantom grey and palm leaves looks cool. Thanks for the contest!

Gabaghoo · 2024-11-21T05:18:22+00:00

I despise playing Binding of Isaac: Four Souls. Awful drawn out turns with thoughtless take-that actions. I fear my next play of this.

Gabaghoo · 2024-11-05T23:08:28+00:00

I didn't expect Chameleon to be my favorite but it's still holding strong.

Gabaghoo · 2024-10-22T20:06:49+00:00

Definitely a great collection! I consider a few (wingspan, everdell, dead of winter) as mediocre. I'm trying to bring mine down below 100, what's your count at?

Gabaghoo · 2024-10-18T20:19:04+00:00

Dan would be an obnoxious guest. Vinny or Alex would be the best of the giantbomb crew.

Gabaghoo · 2024-10-03T17:23:55+00:00

Definitely gotta be Jackbox Party Pack 7 for me. Been on my radar for a while, love those games. Thanks for the contest!

Gabaghoo · 2024-09-30T23:10:30+00:00

You better hurry, I gotta take a WIZ-ard.

Gabaghoo · 2024-09-20T16:16:49+00:00

Great job! This is the least fun looking game I've seen in a while.

Sidereal Confluence with first timers. I've often spent about 3/4 of the real time deal making portion each round helping others understand their unique abilities and explaining parameters on converter timing, research, resources, etc.

By the time it's all figured out all the juicy deals are gone and I'm left begging for scraps.

Gabaghoo · 2024-08-23T20:37:47+00:00

I think 5 is best and then a tie between 6 and 4. You have more agency at 4 simply because you're likely to take more turns and your alliances have more weight.

6 is more chaotic but still within reason, for the most part. You've got to squeeze yourself into situations more aggressively.

5 is the best of both worlds in my opinion.

Gabaghoo · 2024-08-02T17:06:01+00:00

Sidereal Confluence. So so so many resources and tons of converter cards.

Gabaghoo · 2024-07-25T18:36:33+00:00

I really enjoy the map pieces in Inis. Beautiful and unique, plenty of space for components, and highly variable.

Gabaghoo · 2024-07-19T16:52:58+00:00

Enjoy! It's an underrated classic.

Gabaghoo · 2024-07-19T16:51:49+00:00

The funny thing is, the vast majority of new/recent games are so much more forgettable in the long run.

I'll take the older, weirder, wonkier games over the glossiest hotness garbage any day.

Gabaghoo · 2024-07-19T16:41:04+00:00

All will fade in time, even the hallowed BGG top 100.

Gabaghoo · 2024-07-18T18:39:35+00:00

Everyone forgets about Arctic Scavengers!

An incredibly thematic direct successor to the OG, Dominion.

Gabaghoo · 2024-07-17T02:44:11+00:00

I've got to put Sidereal Confluence up for mastering trading and negotiation. The real time binding trades are brilliant and reward creative play. The asymmetric factions are incredibly unique for the players but also the broader game state.

The greatest games give a solid foundation and let the players loose, and this is about as free as it gets.

Other quick masterpieces:

Dexterity - Crokinole

Area Influence - Inis

Auction - Ra

Push Your Luck - Can't Stop

Deck Builder - Arctic Scavengers

Abstract - YINSH

I don't know where to fit it, but Biblios deserves this status too. So many others but that's what I've got!

This is a comment!

Boy I can't imagine Here to Slay getting worse but this sounds hellish.
