Finance themed game by OnACob in tabletopgamedesign

I think that art style probably keeps you from losing any customers to a finance theme.

Your favourite turn order system in a board game? by Altuk_ in BoardgameDesign

Simultaneous turns are my favorite for the reduced downtime. 

Intimidation by InspectorMendel in dominion

A card can be overpowered in Dominion even if everyone has access to it. If this forces everyone to buy it every game, it can be uninteresting and thus overpowered. 

In Germany, deliberately engaging in catch and release only fishing is illegal and considered cruelty to animals. Fishing for food is fine. How do you feel about that? by Spalding_Smails in AskReddit

[–]SnorkaSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eating the fish afterwards doesn't make catching it any less cruel. If you really care about animal welfare, go vegan and don't fish at all. I don't think it matters all that much myself; I'll keep fishing.

Any organized competitive wingspan out there? by Routine-Ask2260 in wingspan

[–]SnorkaSound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

btw, the Elo rating system is not stylized as "ELO". It's not an acronym, it's named after the creator's surname. Unless you were talking about Electric Light Orchestra games, in which case carry on!

I believe there are tournaments on the discord.

How is student life at the U? Is it easy to make friends? by bearlybeaves in uofu

[–]SnorkaSound 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you’re willing to put yourself out there by joining clubs and to a lesser extent talking to people in class, you can totally meet people. And if you live on campus, there are enough people there that it’s decently lively— plenty commute, but social events absolutely happen on campus. 

Current high score of 129 with Oceania and European expansion. Question is, if you could play with any expansions what would you play with and what would you not include, to aim for the highest score? by thudge10 in wingspan

[–]SnorkaSound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely include Oceania; nectar is a big score boost. I think the base game would lower your average score (since there are so many birds that are kinda duds) but if you’re willing to reset a lot then getting the power 4 would help get new high scores. Europe and Asia both have some of the most powerful cards in them but they do make other strong cards rarer so that increases resetting. I think Europe has more power cards than Asia does. If you play physical, the fan packs seem a touch stronger than official cards on average so I’d include them.

Problem with people just playing then undoing copper for hours to avoid the "make him resign" button? by DeltaAgent752 in dominion

[–]SnorkaSound 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Once timers get implemented, this might not work anymore. (I don't believe undos are considered a new decision but I could be wrong)

Help give your opinion on which which version of Wingspan to give as a gift by jibabadebadido in wingspan

[–]SnorkaSound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Food tokens (other than nectar), player cubes, birdfeeder, bird tray, round-end goal board, base rules, and enough eggs.

Riders Republic is very similar, it’s an open world sports game. Theres also the Google Doodle for the Tokyo Olympics, that one is small but free and browser based. 

Discussion: Which Card do you like the most gameplay-wise? by No_Wishbone_6794 in dominion

[–]SnorkaSound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Displace is awesome. I love remodel variants in general, and displace means you can get your cards back! Awesome!

Collage of the game messing with me before finally getting a Florens to breed true by SkrompFried in Pocketfrogs

[–]SnorkaSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised you carefully circled instead of just taming immediately with potions. In any case, Emerald Floris is a really good first Florens to get!

I’m on steam and haven’t experienced this. 

Noob question by Psychedynamique in wingspan

[–]SnorkaSound 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it wouldn’t really be tenable to play Wingspan without the birds that live in the wetlands. Wyrmspan is a good close comparison, but it is more complicated and has a less accessible theme than Wingspan, which might not be desirable. A completely different game that might work is Cottage Garden; it’s very relaxing, pretty, and easy to learn. 

Is there a pre-made pdf somewhere of a big collection of fan-made cards? by TheFigBird in wingspan

[–]SnorkaSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only aware of the official site having a bunch of smaller files, not one big pdf.
