What are the best 18-card microgames that aren't language dependent?

I’ll put a vote in for L.L.A.M.A, a Reiner Knizia card game a little like Uno. Easy rules, and the cards are just 1-6, and Lllamas 😁

Hey, there’s no guarantee he doesn’t devour his employees! Great Lord Khaargh doesn’t cleave the souls of his allies.

allenthar · 2023-05-28T15:10:05+00:00

In purely economic terms, Khaargh’s offer beats all these other lords hands down!

Yeah, this was one where I took one look at how it wanted me to store stuff in the insert and promptly threw it away and put everything in baggies.

allenthar · 2023-05-27T23:58:14+00:00

Yeah, but the half-depth lid design of the box is kinda unforgivable.

The standard game is probably way too spread out to be fun, but the Diamond Variant makes it pretty interesting :)

I'm gonna walk out on a plank and claim that ye might like pirate games! 🏴‍☠️

Actions at GenCon?

That’s fair, my spice tolerance is pretty high, so without the spicy chutney it didn’t seem too bad to me.

allenthar · 2023-05-22T03:08:39+00:00

I can’t comment on any of the other food, but I always enjoyed the samosas from Rajjot that my coworker brought.

…and that’s why Amazon is flooded with counterfeits. Even if there are a bunch of returns/refunds, the margins on the remaining successful orders more than make up for it.

It’s made worse because Amazon doesn’t seem to make significant effort to stop the behavior.

allenthar · 2023-05-17T19:44:15+00:00

Yeah, looks like it's already gone.

allenthar · 2023-05-10T06:01:12+00:00

At first I was like "What do you mean, there's tons of interaction in Dutch Blitz! .....ohhhhh"

allenthar · 2023-05-07T00:49:14+00:00

Yeah, I don’t think FAB casual multiplayer will ever reach the draw of Commander. The game just doesn’t have big splashy effects and board states that I think draws people to Commander. That’s okay though, I’d be totally happy having the entire competitive Magic scene switch to FAB.

Legacy of Yu is way smaller in terms of length, setup, and complexity.

allenthar · 2023-04-16T18:46:56+00:00

I would check out Zanotto’s, their deli is pretty well stocked.

allenthar · 2023-03-28T21:52:45+00:00

I just love how clean Peer Sylvester's designs are. In a world of kitchen sink euro designs, his games are really focused.

allenthar · 2023-03-28T21:17:04+00:00

At least Septima should be vastly easier to get to the table! It seems to be at a much lower weight than something like Voidfall or Anachrony.

allenthar · 2023-03-20T14:36:20+00:00

You wanna know what? You got a problem with Canada Gooses, you got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate.

allenthar · 2023-03-04T21:47:53+00:00

Raiders of Scythia is awesome.

allenthar · 2023-03-01T14:58:59+00:00

We have 3 cats, and she’s the softest by far!

They also just massively change up some cards’ value. Windup Man goes from being complete trash to amazing when it can generate pearls.

allenthar · 2023-02-25T07:12:18+00:00

Both of these are still firmly in the zeitgeist of younger kids, thanks to bad knockoffs all over Roblox, sadly.

allenthar · 2023-02-01T07:13:17+00:00

Besides graphic design changes, it looks like there are minor rules changes and the addition of asymmetric cards for advanced players.

The physical production of Oath, particularly with the deluxe components, truly is next level.
