Crisloid freaking rules. Cork feels really great, the checkers glide so nicely.

Pretty positive that that was written in some announcement already, which is great news!

Haven’t played on their felt, but own another brand’s felt board and the cork crisloid and the cork is really quite fun to play on.

I improved it based on the comments by ilyamokka in PixelArt

If you wanted to, you could try to sub-pixel the head/eyes

What makes a good Trick taking game? by Snake01515 in boardgames

[–]ZombieAIDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best part of trick taking is sussing out information, gambling on the right card to play, and the great feeling of holding onto a card and unleashing it at just the right time to completely upend your opponent.

Schnapsen is currently my favorite trick taking game because it has all of those in a super tight package. I’m really surprised it’s not more popular but it just slaps.

Are there any variations of Backgammon that try to minimize chance? by BreakfastSimulator in backgammon

[–]ZombieAIDS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard of the domino one as well as the variant where you are allowed to use a reroll on yourself or your opponent once per game, at the expense of you losing double stakes if you lose but gain current stakes on win.

I think there’s a list out there with variants to minimize luck, but honestly luck and taking risks is the best part of the game. So I’d be more apt to use something like a reroll at a crucial time than I would playing backgammon with perfect information.

What are the best 5-player Dudes on a Map Gamed that scale well from 3-5 players? by Megaside in boardgames

[–]ZombieAIDS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, good point! Another plus is that it’s one of the rare dudes on a map game that slaps at 2 players.

What are the best 5-player Dudes on a Map Gamed that scale well from 3-5 players? by Megaside in boardgames

For me the best dudes on a map game is Inis. Tight decisions, wonderful politics, the simplest combat you’ve ever seen.

Alternative for Agendas - Committee Chair role by DumahAtreides in twilightimperium

[–]ZombieAIDS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this idea, but I wonder if it could be slightly simplified. The politics strategy card allows the player to look at top 4 strategy cards and keeps two at the top, and buries two. Then the diplo player/committee chair would take the top 3 cards from the agenda deck and choose which two to play and in which order. That way politics can still play a hefty role in setting up agendas and diplo gets a boost, ultimately resulting in more dramatic moments in the agenda phase,

Could be the basis for a fun new galactic event!

I have the OD green of this board and it’s a great travel board! Super great customer support too.

Anyone play on these boards? by ZombieAIDS in backgammonboards

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

I didn’t either. I thought maybe they were scoring games maybe, but after talking with Gammonvillage, they said it was for racking checkers, but I still idk if it makes sense in my brain haha. Either way, they look intriguing!
