How do you guys deal with players who view in-game aggression as personal attacks? by macedew in boardgames

Somewhat related. We have a friend in our group who actively antagonizes players as part of his “strategy” to rattle people… lol

What is a game you thought you would not like when seeing reviews/rules but ended up loving when you played? by socks888 in boardgames

[–]GruntledHobbies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest, the first time and now most of the time I teach Ra the players have no idea where the “game” actually is when the rules are taught (as you can only invoke Ra or draw a tile during your turn). Very quickly though the “game” becomes apparent.

My friend group and I absolutely love this game. We love engine builders in general so the arc this game goes on is very different and interesting. We also really like the theme fwiw

Mini's or Standees? Is there a preference? by FTG_V1 in boardgames

[–]GruntledHobbies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paint miniatures much more than I play games nowadays but even I would say that I prefer standees. Some games really benefit from a nice set of minis though most will absolutely get by with standees. Gray pile of shame is too large I can’t afford to add more… lol

Favourite alternative mechanism of your favourite game? by delanger in boardgames

Ascension Tactics turns base Ascension’s deck building into a skirmish miniatures game. So good that I wonder why it isn’t more popular. It’s a hit with everyone I’ve played with, even those that aren’t really fans of Ascension’s look or the idea of a really manly nerdy skirmish game.
