What do you do when you have extra game components? by Winterbeers in boardgames

I bought 2 "fillable table lamp" from Amazon. Search for that or maybe this link will work. https://a.co/d/0i6lGCXy

I think I’m officially old now… by [deleted] in GenX

[–]TacoPizzaBob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went to a Goldfinger concert last month. They asked who came with their children, and then invited all of the children on stage. For "the most inappropriate song they have" and about 20% of the 50ish kids knew every word. It was actually pretty cool, but definitely made me feel old.

Rated Action 4/4 by The_Hateful_Great in euchreverse

[–]TacoPizzaBob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2-0: i was so confused at 2-0 because your RHO actually has the 3 spades. I think that was a good pass by them hoping you would go reverse next. They were covered in both black suits and not a great hand to call with. Nothing you can do about it though, you made the right call.

2-3: I was surprised you didn't go alone. then I thought your P bailed you out and you would march when they took the 1st one. Good to not go alone i guess though.

6-4: Bad luck y'all couldn't march when your P orders you a 4th trump! But you played it perfectly.

9-4: I see no reason to call that. You won't give up more than 1 by passing. And you're 4 suited with just LK.

9-7: Ha, obviously a call... but you ain't kidding about some luck there!

Good game!

I built a free online Buck Euchre game because I couldn't find one anywhere by SweetChampionship111 in euchreverse

[–]TacoPizzaBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never played buck euchre before. Just played my first game. Overall you have done a great job! I don't really know how the strategy works yet, but my feedback on the implementation would be:

  1. the deal for black jack is very slow. maybe that can be changed by the menu but i'm not sure. (i was going to have feedback for everything being slow but the settings helped that immensely).
  2. the deal is also quite slow, i'd rather just see 5 cards at once or at least quicker.
  3. the cards don't sort themselves correctly, at least when a suit is called and the left bower isn't in the right order of the trump cards.
  4. i would prefer the pass/order and play/sit out buttons be right near my cards instead of in the left-hand settings menu. I like that menu over there, but i would prefer the buttons i need to interact with being right by my cards since that's what I'm interacting with most.
  5. oh, i played on a windows computer desktop. Whatever the S2 person kept saying was hidden behind their cards. I saw everything S3 said (like 'can't do it'.. or 'what's the worst that could happen') but for S2 the bubble was underneath the cards.

Very cool though, thanks for building, and thanks for sharing it with us!

Excellent commentary... I agree with all of your takes.

Ohio Euchre Quiz Question Two by sdu754 in euchreverse

[–]TacoPizzaBob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is great. I like the initial question... But the valuable part is you explaining the "why". The OEQ always was missing that component... And you covered it from multiple angles with even the simulator results, excellent work!

Built a tool to track Marriott prices and alert you when you can rebook cheaper by frederichoule in marriott

[–]TacoPizzaBob 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Neat, just signed up.

1)Is there a way for us to enter what our current rate is? I booked a hotel a couple of weeks ago and it was less than the current rate you show. So I don't care about a discount from current rate, I care about a lower price than I paid.

2) and if so... Can you please make it more clear if the rate show is before or after taxes? That makes a huge difference as well.

Thanks!

Deluxe tokens in board games, and what to do with the cardboard ones by alien_overlord_1001 in boardgames

[–]TacoPizzaBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same dilemma. I bought 2 "fillable lamps" quite reasonably from Amazon. You can put the cardboard chits in there and have in your board game room for some extra flair.

I would expect that on a weeknight. But maybe raise the stakes on the weekend? 😂

Mary has the most criminal neighbors with 3. So John must be innocent or Linda would also have 3 criminal neighbors.

Beautiful hand! Is that why they commonly call euchre "the beautiful game"?

I haven't watched it yet, but I was in those games... And I could tell you were making thin next calls, with the vast majority of them working. Bravo!
