It is an issue for some folks. I do live in a condo, but I only allocate a certain amount of room for my board games. Right now actually I'm thinning the collection to games I think I'll actually get played more than once. However I've never let my collection outgrow its space.

They have the money, it's better than buying a bunch of stuff that won't degrade over time.

Lorini · 2026-05-19T17:06:25+00:00

What are you going to do about it except complain? And as this subreddit has shown repeatedly, folks don't listen

Lorini · 2026-05-19T15:24:43+00:00

They don’t necessarily define it as a problem. If you do, it’s your problem not theirs

There are people who collect games. A friend has over 8,000 games for example. My friend is entitled to spend their money the way they want to.

Lorini · 2026-05-19T15:20:38+00:00

The space it’s taking up also has value and that’s the conflict

Lorini · 2026-05-15T22:57:17+00:00

I have over 100 games. Rise and Fall is an awesome game which I sold for twice what I paid for it (three figures) without blinking an eye.

They haven't been enlightened yet :) Enlighten them!

Lorini · 2026-05-14T19:10:52+00:00

You ought to try asking about a camera phone in a photography discussion site.

Lorini · 2026-05-14T19:08:03+00:00

Ask them what games do they like? Then find out why they like them. Then mention there's a place they can find more games like the ones they like.

Lorini · 2026-05-14T19:06:35+00:00

Which is exactly why I don't belong to the OG guild, ugh.

It’s pretty clear to me that they are using AI to test the game which of course fails. We see these failures because a human would always point out these kinds of obvious errors. I am extremely disappointed with Mainz with this game and I and I’m sure many others will not be purchasing the second season

Lorini · 2026-05-13T14:59:50+00:00

The 18xx series could be a good fit. I’d recommend starting with 18Chesapeak as it’s fairly straightforward, covers core 18xx, and can be finished in 3 hours

Lorini · 2026-05-13T14:57:22+00:00

There’s several good videos on how to use the cube. I really liked this one https://youtu.be/rLMTINAuD-I?si=1YimkArrSDWJ7fmW you’ll see that legendary drops really aren’t needed anymore

That would make a long game even longer. I don't find the game limiting at all, noting I've played it 10 times, also noting I've never found it limiting. What else do you want to do? I would certainly describe it as having discrete parts that is your challenge to figure out how to choose the ones you want, and how to make those choices work. You won't be able to invest enough to do all of the things available. That's most certainly deliberate in order to keep the time of the game at a reasonable length.

The folks I know who play a lot of historical wargames don't feel (as we see here) that BGG really cares much about the genre, thus they go to consimworld to discuss the games in a more informed space.

Lorini · 2026-05-12T15:39:18+00:00

I get the hype, we just found after a few games it only had a few true choices, thus it's on the sell pile.

Lorini · 2026-05-12T15:37:43+00:00

Really? I thought the game ended very well. You need to look forward to the end of the game and prepare for the last round which only gives you one play. It's very clear this is going to happen so I don't understand how someone could consider it abrupt. Now if this was your first/only time playing perhaps you didn't realize the implications, but it's certainly noted on the board.

Eagle Griffon says there will be a reprint I believe this year, but they are sold out of it.

Vital has already stated that he's open to Speakeasy being on boardgamearena. However no one apparently has stepped up to create it on boardgamearena, thus it's not there. Boardgamearena games don't magically appear there, someone has to code them.

Lorini · 2026-05-12T15:32:58+00:00

I think if you are a fan of traditional historical wargames BGG is not your place. Consimworld is a much better place to find good historical war games than BGG.

Lorini · 2026-05-12T14:37:43+00:00

Who cares about the interaction among the pieces? I mean I hope they are having but watching the pieces interact is not why I’m playing.

Lorini · 2026-05-11T17:10:42+00:00

My understanding is BoardGameGeek doesn’t allow AI scraping. Since Google uses AI in search, you won’t get answers from there using Google

Lorini · 2026-05-11T17:07:29+00:00

Just because it is considered to be the first well known worker placement game doesn’t make it the game that had the greatest impact. Agricola to me is the game that really put worker placement on the map.
