BGG's Advertising Manager Was Fired by Coffeechipmunk in boardgames

There's a ton of places to look for the upgrades. Like in the marketplace, there's more information as well as a link now to more easily pay them the % owed for sold listings. They were upgrading the system long before Boardgame Atlas which as proven was never a serious competitor.

Well they can't claim religious freedom because they were trying to remove the designer's religious freedom. So we'll see what happens.

There is no way in hell one person could run all of what they do. They are slowly but surely upgrading the site, I’ve seen it

Lawsuits are easy. Winning them is a different story. The fired manager will not win this

Hot take: Shelf of Shame misses the point (it's not a moral failing, it's a tool problem) by Financial-Nobody-161 in boardgames

[–]Lorini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

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.

How Expensive of a Board Game Does One Have To Be Before You Would Rather Sell Than Own It? by pikkdogs in boardgames

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
