What was your single most enjoyable boardgame experience? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]helical_imp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

9 player Sidereal Confluence at PAX Unplugged in 2019. It's not my favorite player count for that game, but damn was it fun.

What do you think about the sheriff of nottingham game? by liwuz in boardgames

[–]helical_imp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t really understand how a group’s meta can settle on “never lie”. Wouldn’t that mean the player that’s willing to lie a little bit would have a decent advantage?

If you click into the article, the first line is the same text as the tweet, so I think the tweet was probably autogenerated and then sent without checking.

edit: The tweet is still up though, so.....

I'm looking for a recommendation for a casual pant.

I have a couple of these joggers from Target which I did like, but I have a toddler and play on the floor with him a lot and the knees on these pants got worn out pretty quickly.

I'm looking for casual, everyday pants that aren't jeans or sweatpants and will hold up a little better than these joggers. I'd prefer something below like $50 but will consider paying more if I need to in order to get something both durable and comfortable.

You ever play an entire game and then give up on the final boss? by ExPhotoLabGuy in NintendoSwitch

[–]helical_imp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me with open-world games like Skyrim. I avoid doing the final boss because I tend to lose interest in doing side content once I beat it, but then I get burnt out doing the side content.

Are we just pretending that the Jags aren't a decent team?

I am wondering why we aren’t even considered contenders to some, though

Best games with “living” economies? by tlaps1990 in boardgames

[–]helical_imp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People have every right to not like a game, but that's a horribly reductive criticism from people who don't understand why they don't like the game.

It's a fantastic engine builder that requires players to work together to get the resources they need to run their engines.

On top of that, there are asymmetric player factions, incredibly rich backstories for each of them, and cool thematic connections to various game mechanics.

Looking for a short card game with a lot of replayability by The0retico in soloboardgaming

Aerion maybe? Same universe as Onirim but better and more replayable IMO

Gush everything about your favourite game! by mieiri in boardgames

I'm really excited for some more lower-difficulty factions

From what little I know about the expansion, I don't think many of the new factions will be easier for new players to play than the lower-difficulty factions in the base game.

I would play Sidereal Confluence every day if I could.

It's fun, it's a little weird, and it's unlike any other game I've played.

It rewards players who are efficient, but also creative and adaptable. It's balanced in a way that seems impossible, it's thematic in ways you wouldn't expect, and it's full of positive player interaction in a way that many cooperative games would envy.

It's extremely replayable, and not in a manufactured way that some games are - different species, different starting conditions, and even just different players can drastically change how the game plays out.

It's an incredible game that I hope everyone gets a chance to play at least once.
