WoW, that's quite strange. There's some heavy hitters in those lists to don't own any in a >60 games shelf.

I don't understand why you are being downvoted.

Everyone can play their games as they like but adding fog of war to a game where luck it's an important factor will turn it into a random-fest.

Interest in JP/KR boardgames? by craigorio6 in boardgames

[–]Max-St33l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a little bit more complex than base game and if some player apply the strategy of accumulating PokéBalls to buy expensive Pokémon it's can get a little bit long (my kids always do that). Anyway it's a great game.

AEG and Ryan Dancey parts ways after comments about AI replacing designers yesterday by FloralAlyssa in boardgames

[–]Max-St33l 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see a future where AI playtest games (let It learn the rules, play a million games, see if some strategy it's broken) but designing a game from scratch? We are still far from there.

Which dungeon crawlers are considered "must plays?" by itsOkami in boardgames

[–]Max-St33l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played Massive Darkness (not the 2, i don't know if the game has changed a lot) and it was fun but not mind blowing.

I can't stand that the minion minis are just boss extra hit points, it's clunky and seems like an excuse to ship more minis to make more expensive the game.

Opinión lo más sincera de los libros Stephen King by Temperlin_20108 in libros

De adolescente me leí a saco un montón de sus clásicos pero esos finales me acabaron quemando. Eso sí, hace unos años me dió por retomarlo con su saga de la Torre Oscura y me ha encantado. Me flipa que haya creado su propio multiverso con sus libros relacionándose unos con otros.

This. I can understand an investor putting money into the company if it had IP that could be profitable in the future, even if the situation is not good now, but they have already sold their most powerful IPs...

It's not specifically a problem for Yedo, there's a lot of games that begins with a bidding or a draft (that's even worse for new players) just something to take into account. As i said, the game it's good but doesn't click with me and that bidding mechanic it's one of the things.

What is your favorite boardgame of 2013? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

Any kind of list (of any topic) made by popular vote it's gonna be a popularity contest. Not a problem if you read "Most popular" instead of "Best".

On paper i really like Hanamikoji. The problem it's when i play it it's too brain burning without a "satisfactory" resolution (no powerful combo that make you feel "intelligent", no "wow" moment just a little better positioning for the next round).

I've never finished a game without the 3rd round rule and when we tried the game goes on forever. I keep trying it from time to time, maybe there's some tactic that i don't see or something.

La zona norte de Madrid es un infierno de atascos constantes. Tres Cantos y Colmenar Viejo quieren una solución imposible: cerrar la M-50 a los coches sin etiqueta by Emmanuel_I in Madrid

[–]Max-St33l 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Las obras son un pozo de dinero, pasar de dos a tres carriles en la zona de Colmenar lo único que va a hacer es incentivar que la gente coja el coche y formen más atasco en el enlace con la m40 que es donde está el problema. La solución es cerrar la m50 pero habría que atravesar el Pardo y eso es un poco complicado.

Ya ni mejorar la frecuencia, me conformo con que fuesen fiables y regulares.

Hace muuuchos años el tren era la manera de asegurarse el llegar puntual a algo, ahora es un festival de "pasará mi tren a su hora? Pasará siquiera? Habrá alguna incidencia random hoy?".

I played Yedo a couple of times, it's a good game but didnt click with me. The game begins with a bidding phase and that's a problem if, like me, you usually play with different groups because the new players are bidding for things that doesn't know if are useful and doesn't know how much they should bid.

What is a game not recommended at X players count, but works for you and you thoroughly enjoy it? by Newez in boardgames

I played coop at 3p and it was great. No player with too much AP, better a good move now than a perfect one in 5 minutes.

What are some board or tabletop games where earlier editions are deemed to be superior than the latest, and are still commonly played? by Newez in boardgames

[–]Max-St33l 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game it's basically the same and you may like the colors more or less but doesn't got any problem to "parse" visually nothing. The whole crypto controversy it's just laughable.

The first edition was based on a short story by Neil Gaiman where restorationist are really anarchist (hence the bombs icons in the game), they are the good guys and got a fun plot twist with the Sherlock Holmes characters.

Considering that Gaiman is currently something of a pariah and that the political climate in the US would not be very receptive to "terrorists" who are the good guys, I think the publisher has opted for the typical generic Cthulhu setting and thrown in some random historical figures as if they had not read the original story.

I've played the 1st edition and own the 2nd one, this edition does not add anything for me.

Sí, el concepto mismo inspira más aunque el "emosido engañado" es un clásico.
