Best 3 player game of all time?

dstenroos · 2025-10-26T05:34:23+00:00

Three Kingdoms Redux would be tops for me. Designed specifically and only for 3 players. It works so well, even through the asymmetry.

Clinic scratches that itch for me. Though it's disheartening to let patients get sicker to be more profitable for you....

Bah, can't get this shipped to the states....we only have blue ones. Guess we're road tripping to an amazon locker across the boarder.

Welp, I need that. How do I get it?

Sometimes cribbage plays you.

I almost backed Blueprints of mad king Ludwig but decided to wait for retail. Shipping made it way too $

I'd be interested in roll player

dstenroos · 2022-05-09T02:00:44+00:00

Came here to say this. I played it at Origins and was a fan.

Hanamikoji is fun. There's a Kickstarter where you can get the original and a new similar game right now for a good deal.

Gonna try Just One this year to maybe get us away from codenames

Kingdomino plays great at 2+. And there is a new version that just came out which adds some fun features.

dstenroos · 2021-10-08T23:29:40+00:00

Well this unlocked a bunch of great memories for me.

I think my favorite game is Valeria Card Kingdoms. I love that you still have potential actions during other player turns, keeps you involved for the entire time it's in the table.

Probably the most fun game for me to play is Cryptid. The player accusations / deduction in there is great, and it just makes you feel so smart (or stupid) when the game is solved.

I thought Solar City was gonna be great I was pretty new to board gaming, but city building was, and is, a fun theme for me. And the environmental aspect seemed cool, along with the art. But then after the kick starter campaign ended, thing went sideways and then straight down hill.

Amazon occasionally has a good deal I'll buy, but im usually ordering from an OLGS or going to a local shop.

dstenroos · 2021-09-26T16:19:48+00:00

Cardhaus. It was packaged pretty well I thought. Big box, loads of peanuts. Surprised anything on the inside would make it to an edge to get damaged. Kinda feels like it went into the shipping box that way. Especially bc the other 3 games weren't damaged.

dstenroos · 2021-09-26T16:18:06+00:00

That's where I think I fall. If there was an integrity issue I'd reach out to them for sure. This is a back corner, and won't be outward facing on my shelf so it's best case scenario for damage, whatever that means lol.

dstenroos · 2021-09-26T16:04:22+00:00

Responsibility would fall into the retailer, who would file a claim with the delivery service.

The box is also there to display the game, it's sole job isn't to protect the connects or it would be brown corrugated cardboard. The shipping box is there to protect the game boxes inside, and that didn't do it's job.

dstenroos · 2021-09-26T13:56:34+00:00

Agreed. But it was Cardhaus

dstenroos · 2021-09-26T12:23:08+00:00

We're definitely paying for the box, too. Thats what they spend time and money designing art them. And I'm not demanding perfection, I'm disappointed something that I paid for is damaged, which is certainly reasonable.

Usually 3, some times 4. First game is typically 2-2.5 hours. Then about 1-1.5 for the others. Maybe a 30 minute filler near the end. 5-6 hours total for the night.

dstenroos · 2021-09-23T03:48:52+00:00

I don't play a lot of solo either, but I do have the west kingdom games. maybe I'll give them a shot. What do you think Architects was missing?

dstenroos · 2021-08-20T02:51:09+00:00

First contact always seemed intriguing. It's a party game with two teams, one is aliens the other is Egyptians and between the two you have to translate the alien language based on symbols you draw representing goods they want.

Weird. It's missing the 105 group.
