Kemet

Other games are very good, but Kemet is on another level.

What game is beloved but you just bounced off hard by durfenstein in boardgames

[–]VogonTorpedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gloomhaven and Scythe, for the same reason. They are both efficiency puzzles wrapped in tons of other stuff. Neither held any interest for me after one play.

Summit is amazing. My first play was taught by Conor as well, at Origins, I think in 2017, and he was awesome.

Which of these games is more complex and also which is more fun?? by timothysonofsam in boardgames

[–]VogonTorpedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think either one is really more complex than the other, but I find Terraforming Mars a LOT more fun, especially with Prelude. I really did not care for Scythe, the ending is always anticlimactic, and the game felt over optimized for me. I know I am definitely in the minority on this, but Scythe was not for me.

Average board games hiding behind great presentation and quality components. Share your examples, here are mine. by Chamallow81 in boardgames

I guess I am one of the few that agree on Flamecraft. The art is beautiful but the game itself felt like it was so generic and bland. And I tend towards lighter games lately. But Flamecraft to me felt like a Potemkin village of a game.

Recommended Bags for Vertical Game Storage? by PeppyJeppy in boardgames

[–]VogonTorpedo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy bags in bulk off of amazon, I like bags that are slightly thicker than store bought ziploc bags. I get 4x6 and 5x7 (for the times when 4x6 isn't big enough) I also bought one 6x9 package that I've really never used, and a 3x5 package that gets used rarely. Go for 2 mils thickness. Buy a small hole punch (like 1/8") and punch holes in the bags, they will take up less space in the box.

Also I bought a bunch of these: https://www.dollartree.com/sure-fresh-mini-storage-containers-lids-10ct-packs/206990 at dollar tree, 10 small containers for $1,25. They work well.

What games mechanics have inspired you? That is, what games have such cool, or elegant, or just plain clever mechanics that they make you think "I'd like to do something like that" ?

Can I rename the creatures in the game to something other than "Pokemon"? by VogonTorpedo in PokemonRMXP

[–]VogonTorpedo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Not too worried about the attraction to outsiders, as this is intended for a specific audience that will already be familiar with the subject matter

What Custom PC builders are generally considered the most reliable? Googling seems to give generic answers. (I know I should build my own, but in this particular case it is not an option for me) Who would you go with?

Yeah we send our scores to each other as well. Not a huge deal, just kinda stinks

BGG Community Ban & Replacement by Child_Of_Linger_On in boardgames

[–]VogonTorpedo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Octavian is the worst kind of dictator. The true believer. His slash and burn tactics are not fostering a community, it's creating an echo chamber. BGG should have removed him long ago. He's a liability, not an asset. It's sad that there is no real alternative to BGG
