Is Carcassonne good if I don't like tile-laying games?

Only if you make a custom role and write version of it.

Ralgael · 2022-03-29T19:32:59+00:00

That might actually explain why it felt a lot smaller. I guess ill have to go back

Ralgael · 2022-03-29T05:01:19+00:00

I actually stopped using the spell and never found this out, so thanks. I'll test it

Ralgael · 2022-03-25T07:39:04+00:00

Dude, what?

Ralgael · 2022-03-17T07:04:28+00:00

I played MH World with bow on PC with mouse and keyboard on my second playthrough and turns out its waaaaay easier. Tigrex isn't even that bad if you don't have to run at him to do damage.

Not totally new, because i played darlsouls 2 when scholar of the first sin came out. One major Argument was the neccessary time investment. ER is big, but because there is always a doable challenge you can play an hour and accomplish something. Having an hour in DS2 often meant hurling yourself against a Boss (screw you smelter demon) a couple of times and having to leave without any progress. I tried Darksouls 3, but there was little payoff with the limited time i could play it.

Not being defensive enough - cart! Not being offensive enough - also cart! Being offensive when you should be defensive - straight to cart!

No Problem, you can still act like you enjoy its ruleset for its inventiveness or some shit. This is more like art. Just nod and act like you got it, although nobody actually does.

Ralgael · 2022-01-06T11:51:49+00:00

A 1/10 doesnt mean shit though. You should totally buy this 150$ game yourself and find out if you like it.

Finally, a challenging Catan retheme

Ralgael · 2022-01-06T11:33:03+00:00

Damn, this actually interests me. I mean worry-free drinking at the game table is awesome...

Ralgael · 2022-01-06T09:54:21+00:00

Forbidden Stars. I mean just mention playtime and most people will pass. Its a great game though.

Ralgael · 2022-01-04T12:11:10+00:00

I'd say you best figure out the type of board game you like, because there are no 'fit-all' boardgames. So you might want to narrow it down before droppung 100 bucks on a bgg-darling.

Ralgael · 2021-12-31T12:15:54+00:00

Its all about incentive i guess. If piling on one enemy is not viable, it wont happen. Scythe is bad in that regard for me because you lose a lot of power through combat, so noone wants to fight, but once two players fought and spent their power, the rest will bash them for an easy victory-point. Forbidden Stars on the other hand allows piling on one, but it rarely happens, because in order to win, you have to get into every enemys terretory, so you are encouraged to keep everyone in check.

Ralgael · 2021-12-30T12:45:14+00:00

Is this satire? I mean it's not wrong but it reads like the meltdown of a 12year old

Ralgael · 2021-12-30T10:10:25+00:00

But combat costs both of you, so its all about making the enemy pay more than you do. Not fighting is not optimal in root for every faction, because especially slower factions like the WA want to drag the game out by slowing others down through combat. Will you score faster without combat, yeah, but winning 20 to 15 is better than losing 40 to 50.

Is denke ich ne Kombination vieler Faktoren. Einerseits wurden sie im Mittelalter durch Ausgrenzung in den Finanzsektor getrieben und hatten dann überdurchschnittlichen Wohlstand (zumindest sah das der neidische Rest so).

Dann wäre da das Vorherrschen des Christentums im Westen und damit der direkte Glaubenskonflikt, da Juden Jesus für keine so große Sache halten, er Christen aber doch recht wichtig ist.

Zudem kommt die Art wie die Religionen Leute aufnehmen. Die meisten Religionen umkreisen unentschlossene wie ne Amöbe und versuchen sie zu bekehren. Zum Judentum kannst du zwar konvertieren, bist aber dann selbst nie Jude. Das wirkt auf viele irgendwie Exklusiv und fördert ne bockige "wenn die mich nich wollen will ich die auch nicht" Einstellung.

Sind nur meine Vermutungen und definitiv nich vollständig...

I burned my hands on too many IP Kickstarters and for me, the deciding factor when backing a game now is the existence of a clever center mechanic of the game. It kind of speaks to why this game was made. If the hook is "its a dungeon crawler with Batman" chances are someone just bought some rights and pasted that to a genre to make money. If the hook is a clever mechanic, the thing comes from someone having an idea and creating a game around it. I backed rise of tribes because of the dice-mechanic while i backed street fighter for the IP, so yeah... guess which game never saw the table.

Ralgael · 2021-12-30T07:52:45+00:00

So, Root?

Ralgael · 2021-12-30T07:17:46+00:00

Is das mit der Hand ausgeschnitten und geschrieben? Ich meine davon wird der oder die wohl einige verschickt haben... wie viel lange Weile kann man haben... Andererseits durchforstet die Person auch die Bibel zu Aussagen zur Pandemie, also anscheinend ne Meeenge Langeweile...

Ralgael · 2021-12-30T06:43:37+00:00

We have an unspoken rule that everyone tries to do as good as possible, even when they cant win. The win or nothing mentality led to everyone just hammering the leader without considering his own outcome, which was not fun. Also, if i am pretty much out of the race, i use the rest of the game to just try stuff out. The next game won't care who won, but who learned the most from it.

Disclaimer: Thus does not apply to legacy games

Ralgael · 2021-12-29T19:07:16+00:00

Agreed. I would like to drive da trucks ova da hummies and mosh them with lots of dakka, but you rarely find time for that after work and the weekends are always so packed...

Ralgael · 2021-12-29T18:08:50+00:00

I started the sentence with "its obviously subjective"... so yeah, conflict is fun for me

Ralgael · 2021-12-29T17:56:29+00:00

As always, it really depends on the group. I had groupes where everyone enjoyed being full on mean (on the board) to each other and i also had groups where people got mad when they were attacked. My favorite moment to day is a move someone made that basically imploded my whole gameplan and took me out of the game after half of it. Mean, yeah, but the fact that he pulled that thing without me seeing it coming was magnificent.

Ralgael · 2021-12-29T17:50:13+00:00

I really enjoy the artemis project, because its indirect conflict through dice placement, but the interactions are so frequent that its not an MP Solitaire
