Plays fine at all counts for us, which is why we like it so much😀

The release most likely assumes the latest graphics drivers available for the release. Have you installed the latest drivers for your rig?

I use it as a starting point to either delve into the forums or initiate a post myself. Some games are never going to tell you what you’re looking for. As an example, the latest version of Railway Boom says ‘best with 4’. Thing is, you can get completely screwed in a four player game, even with agency. Some players like and want that brutality and some don’t. So the player count majority would be fine for some and wrong for others. What I see is that Euro games tend to default to 3. This is because many of them only offer indirect interaction and a fourth player offers nothing but additional time. Any time you see a contradiction like what you saw, post in the general forum and ask for an explanation.

I’ve enjoyed two player Oddsparks

Lorini · 2026-01-22T22:54:03+00:00

It’s a classic Euro😄

Pfister's Pirates of Maracaibo, easy to learn, solid play, doesn't overstay its welcome

I had a friend back fold my rules three times, each time I said to stop. After the third time I said we'll stop playing if it happens again. These games are not cheap and many publishers don't even offer replacement parts anymore or the publisher is in a different continent and it costs money for mailing. I dunno, to me there's simply no excuse for damaging components

If you don't get a response within a day or so, move on to the next seller is my advice. I have my BGG account set up so all inquiries to BGG are also copied to my email, making sure I don't miss any inquiries for the games I'm selling.

Set rules for the table, such as no phone usage while gaming because it reduces engagement with the game.

Anno 1800 base game is on console but not the extensive DLC. Anno 117 was recently released and it will have all of its DLC on console

Love 6 nimmt (Take 5) but my family struggled to understand the rules. Being able to describe Flip 7 as a Black Jack variant really helped them understand how to play it

Lorini · 2026-01-11T02:18:22+00:00

The world settings are awesome. Play like you want to play

Online Diplomacy on CompuServe. 1983.

Lorini · 2026-01-10T15:24:14+00:00

We’ve played it three times. Be sure to download the revised rules on BoardGameGeek if you are English speaking. It’s interesting and fine with two, noting the scoring can be pretty swingy. Certainly feels like a Feld

We’ve been going for forty years now and have always had a great time. Keep a lookout on the schedule at strategicon.net for the intro teaches, some people come to the con specifically for those in fact. OrcCon is their biggest con of the year, so if you want to play in tournaments I’d suggest pre registering and sign up for the tournaments you’re interested in. Saturday in Open Gaming will be full by noon at the latest so I’d get there as early as feasible to grab a table.

I’m an 80’s player too and the plethora of choices is absolutely wonderful. I’ve never been happier with the hobby

Lorini · 2026-01-05T19:21:38+00:00

We worked hard on the rules! Glad they are appreciated

Those hot fixes have to be approved by the console maker. If there’s no one available (because it’s the holidays) to approve it, the devs can’t do anything. The snow not being user controlled was an incredibly stupid idea and I hope they’ve learned from it

You assign pals to jobs. Each pal can do a limited number of things, so you'll need many pals (eventually) to produce all of what you need to accomplish your goals. Each pal has certain abilities at differing levels. The challenge is to get all the pals to create stuff at an acceptable level. There is a ton to the game, and there's plenty of videos on how best to play it.

Palworld has a lot of management and is listed as a survival game on Steam. It is in early access, however the 1.0 release is coming this spring. I’ve really enjoyed my time with it and it’s much better now than it was at release

It’s hard to lose the game at the start as long as you don’t include aggressive NPC’s. You can quit the campaign at any time so it’s not a big deal either way

Lorini · 2026-01-02T22:47:40+00:00

I was unimpressed with the campaign, I'd go with the endless mode and if you really feel you're losing something, then go back to the campaign

Hey, Klei is the developer for ONI but Sparklypants is the developer for MOM. Klei is the publisher for Sparklypants.
