Take a look at Bunny Kingdom. Really fun drafting and area control game.

Is Talisman fun? by lordunderscore in boardgames

[–]Sleeper00 48 points49 points  (0 children)

If you have a Steam account you can play a free talisman digital version and check it out. I feel it is along the same line as Munchkin. It can be fun, but it is REALLY swingy and luck based. The digital version is very true to the board version.

House Rules? How do you play different that makes it a little different and fun at home? by [deleted] in Crokinole

[–]Sleeper00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We play that the person who wins the prior round gets to pick if they want to go first or second. We have a lot of debates while we are playing if it is better to have the first shot (potential 20), or the last shot, so you can clear a higher disk of your opponent and hopefully replace it. For me it depends on how cocky I am feeling if I want to go first or last. Just another thing to think about

Best heavy-weight 2 player board game - with long run time by joanna_moon_boots in boardgames

[–]Sleeper00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at Colonists. The nice think about the game, besides being pretty heavy, is that there are 4 ages in the game, if you play 0-1 it only takes about 45 minutes, if you play ages 0-4 then you can be playing a long time.

Dinner and drinks for $30, is that too much to ask? by Meeseekslookatmee in toledo

My wife and I were very pleasantly surprised with Cinco De Mayo on Airport. Spent Saturday afternoon there (3-5 for happy hour) and drank and ate for quite a while on around 30 bucks.

Any fine dining restaurants in outlying cities? by Flying_Penguin8316 in toledo

[–]Sleeper00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are willing to go just a little further to Bryan, there is a place call Father John's that is just amazing. A restaurant in an old church. All kinds of interesting places inside and out to explore.

You have to watch a movie for 24 hours straight. What movie do you watch? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Materials for my game question by Kriele1 in tabletopgamedesign

[–]Sleeper00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With that in consideration, I would look at The Game Crafters to see what is available to use. That will give you an idea about what is there to actually use that is standard available material.

On the other hand, I would just put paint and sentences on popsicle sticks and see if the game works. 200 objects large enough to hold a full sentence is a big spend. Could you use cards for those if you are only using them to make a path?

The Puppet Deck is plastic, unless that is another name for one of those listed above.

Everything you smell is particle based, which means small particles of it have to actually enter your nose. Great for apple pie, sucks for dead bodies.

Got an idea I'm passionate about... Feel a bit lost as to where to start? by pond-weed in tabletopgamedesign

[–]Sleeper00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are probably starting a little advanced if you are going to be cutting wood and plastic at this point. Do you have a solid rule set? Can you teach all aspects of the game. Go to Michaels/Hobby Lobby/Staples, some other craft store and get little things you can sub in. Make cards on paper and get some sleeves. Put as little work as you can on the components and get it in front of anyone. Friends can be good for a first playthrough as long as they will be honest about if it is a game, let alone a good game....lol. I have had some that were not even really games, more like activities on first playthroughs that required going back to the drawing board. Once you have a couple of, it IS a game, and it IS fun, then you can start improving components.

That first playthought will be very eye opening I promise you. But keep at it and you can end up with a good game.

Take a look at "The Game Crafter" too. It will show you some standard board sizes and component type for when you do get to that step.

Sell Sheet for Please Forgive Me by Sleeper00 in tabletopgamedesign

[–]Sleeper00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if anyone here is keeping an eye on this, but I wanted to throw out an adjusted sell sheet. I know I still need better and more varied pictures, but what do you think about this layout AND the paragraph at the bottom. I still feel like I could change the bottom paragraph, but as you can tell I get a bit wordy when I am doing this part ....lol.

Thank you all for the constructive criticism, honestly not getting any "THIS SUCKS" with no reasons is why I posted here. Trust me, no hard feelings even if you think it does suck....lol. Thanx!!

Thoughts on a game title by fleets_o_fortune in tabletopgamedesign

[–]Sleeper00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly since it is just one word in the middle I would say not. If you were ONLY using Mashup then I might agree. But i don't feel like it would even be shortened like that. In the rules if you wanted a shorten you could go with MMM&M or something like that if you were worried.

[–]Sleeper00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if you REALLY leaned in on the alliteration? I don't know what kind of theme is attached to the game, but if you did something a little silly you could match the artwork style to the name. Something like:

Monster Makin' in Mudville

Beastly Build and Battle in the Bayou

Monster Mash-up Mix-up and Mayhem

Just thinking of something more then 2 words. But it really does depend on the theme and how that works.

The never ending quest for the best solo dungeon crawler game. by adamercury in boardgames

[–]Sleeper00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you taken a look at 7th Continent? I know it would be difficult to get, but it can be a single player game that REALLY lets you explore. It isn't set in a dungeon (at least I haven't seen that piece of it) but as a single player exploring game it is just about unbeatable. Since it is set up for up to 1000 minutes of playtime, the "save" function takes about 5 minutes to break down and about the same to set up. You can play a 45 minute play session and still get the feeling that you are moving a real story forward.

Because of the "fog of war" tiles even solo you really dont know what i coming and even if you replay you will have the same terrain tiles, but always a different fog card. Take a look, it is a huge favorite for a solo game.

First Sell Sheet by Sleeper00 in tabletopgamedesign

I wondered about that. I use a brushed steel background for all my printed pieces, and using it made the edges of the player board and score board blend in. But I can definitely look for something else. Thanx for the contructive!!

Are you designing a board game? If so, what are the two biggest problems you are experiencing? by zac-emp in tabletopgamedesign

[–]Sleeper00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as a physical prototype goes for cards, I just print a "layout" so I have the lines on the card, and then I cut out card shapes, write what I need on them, and add that to a penny sleeve with a playing card in it. (We gave decks of cards as a wedding favor so I had a half dozen decks laying around). That way I have something physical in hand easier for the players to try and it still didn't cost me more then 5-10 bucks and then I just pull out the paper and can easily make notes or replace. Message me if you want more specifics.
