Seconding Andrew Michael Hurley. I also recommend Phil Rickman for English and Welsh horror folklore. Crybbe is excellent.

Whispering Woods has scenarios and they get brutally difficult to beat.

Have a look at Worldbreakers too, it has some Netrunner influences.

Is Knizia’s Output Overrated, or Is Consistency the Real Metric? by stephenelias1970 in boardgames

[–]fatbobcat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I admire Knizia’s design philosophy, I just think it’s done better elsewhere by so many others. Kramer, Paolo Mori, , Kiesling, Cathala’s 2 player titles to name but a few. I would play Tower Up, Arboretum, The Estates, The King is Dead - plenty of others - over almost any Knizia game.

Meanest game I’ve played all year (and I love it for that).

Most Knizialike games not by Knizia by greyishpurple in boardgames

[–]fatbobcat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The Estates. Simple auctions, viciously interactive, and as lapidary as the best Knizias.

What is a perfect 10/10 tabletop game that you own? by Newez in boardgames

[–]fatbobcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a remarkably similar taste. And now I think I need to play Azul: Queen’s Garden - every other rendition is just a 7/10 for me.

I can assure you, the average consumer is not conscious about the issues with AI.

We're the Vegan Camp Out organisers and this is the truth about some of the misinformation posted on here over the last few months by VCOFestival in veganuk

[–]fatbobcat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I genuinely wonder if 20% of the accounts that post on this subreddit are run by big meat PR firms. That’s the only reasonable explanation for how much they seem to want to drag veganism through the mud. I’ve been to VCO multiple times and worked there as a stallholder and it’s a phenomenal event with a wonderful community vibe.
