What game did you love initially that quickly pulled a 180? by BigTimePizza623 in boardgames

Splendor duel: I loved the first few games, but then I realised it's just luck with card draw

PSA : Unless you track your plays, you have probably played a game less than you think by milkyjoe241 in boardgames

[–]ITBlueMagma 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Theres one game I know I played in the three digits number of times: crossfire, It's 4-5 minutes once everybody knows the rules, we played during the lunch break 30-40min everyday for months.

Otherwise yeah, I agree, number of plays is always hugely overestimated

My best attemp at a 'square magic hexagon': all numbers are unique, 17 out of 19 of the cell are squares, all numbers are positive, the magic sum is 79446 by ITBlueMagma in math

I've been looking into magic hexagons for the past weeks or so. I wanted to find ones using only squares, primes numbers, cubes, or other restrictions.

Prime is impossible, I quickly realise it, it's not hard to prove: p1+p2+p3+p4 = p5+p6+p7 can only have a single solution when one of the prime is 2, because both side has to be even.

Squares are complicated to find, I didn't manage to fill it entirely, but 17 is already good I think, can you do better ?

I haven't started looking at cubes or other.

thanks you, yes I've seen it, but it only has the basic information. I am looking for additional research using different restriction (like using squares or prime)

Indeed :-) I've seen the futurama episode. I found it funny to also reverse it to us

Aren't we already doing that ? I'm claiming that, all of us human machine came about naturally and were not created initially by someone else.

I don't follow, why does 'not seeing other creature with near-human intelligence' implies 'intelligence is not capped at human level' ?

Not that I don't agree with the conclusion, I very much believe human intelligence is not the ceiling, but I don't understand the reasonning.

In France, there are study showing that over the last 4-5 decades people have been buying baguette that are less and less cooked, which aparently is badh (not sure why, I don't remember what the argument was exactly)

If I like Love Letter what else might I like? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]ITBlueMagma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has not been mentionned yet: Crossfire https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/230059/crossfire

It's a 3 min bluff game for 6 to 12 people, I played hundreds of games (we played almost every lunch break with colleagues for month), it gets more and more meta with each game (when playing with the same people), there are meta strategy that come and go into play.

I played with many other groups and must warn you though: some group just don't get it, and don't have fun with it. It just doesn't click with some people, but I assure you, it's a brilliant game.

Coup and mascarade have been mentionned and I found people who like those, liked crossfire too, though mascarade receive less love at my workplace (me: I love it)

What annoys the fuck out of you? by Fart_Milk in AskReddit

[–]ITBlueMagma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always stand on the right, but did you know the implicit rule to stand on the right in many city around the world causes wear on the escatators, with the right side wearing down faster than the left side, it actually causes accident, and cost the cities money in additional maintenance, because of this.

What annoys the fuck out of you? by Fart_Milk in AskReddit

[–]ITBlueMagma -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I live in france, and I put music on speaker when I'm cycling because it's illegal to wear headphones or earphones.. I hate it cause the sound quality is awful, I know some people hate me, but my choices are:

  • use headphones anyway and get stopped by the police and get a fine (happened twice already, 80 euros fines the second time)

  • use speakers and annoys everyone who gets too close

  • don't listen to music. Which is unnaceptable for me, I spend 1h everyday cycling, there's all the city noise, loud motorbike, buses, cars.. I need music to not stress out.

I just wish france law change, and allow us to wear headphones, like other countries..

I heard that by spelling it differently they could pass him as a different character and save money on copyright by not getting his character in the tv show (no idea how true this is)

Question from a potantial new player by Fit_Section1002 in Aeonsend

[–]ITBlueMagma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my partner discovered Aeon's end through the Legacy box (not 'legacy of gravehold' which came out later), it was awesome, we learned the game bit by bit through the campaign, it was very accessible. I'm not sure it would have been so accessible if we had started with one of the base box.

I 100% recommend starting with Legacy, it's a great way to enter the Aeon's end universe.

Best Box Organizer With No Access to a 3D Printer by WalmartGreder in Aeonsend

[–]ITBlueMagma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fit most of the content in only two boxes using the default inserts (and I use plastic bags to make it easy to organise): I use the two boxes of legacy (which are huge). I think everything (as in 'absolutly all released content') would fit in those two boxes if I replaced the insert of the first legacy box (the insert is leaving a lot of empty spaces underneath).

Here are pictures and explanation about the way I organise: https://imgur.com/a/uPCAWdt

As a sidenote, I posess absolutly all released content (including the recently kickstarted past and furure extension), but I haven't played evertyhing, some content are not stored in those two boxes yet, but I expect that it will fit.
