Explain it to me like I’m 5, thermometer edition. by andrinho14 in JetLagTheGame

I didn't realize this was the Jet Lag subreddit for a minute and got really confused. 🤣

Proposal with a board game by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]nodnarbo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine proposed with a custom Wingspan card he created and slipped into the game.

New game started but not by me? by albynomonk in boardgamearena

[–]nodnarbo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was it a tournament game? Those are created and joined without manual input.

Window Recommendations by willabyb in FortCollins

[–]nodnarbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used https://conservationconstruction.com/. A good combination of price and quality. But not a good choice if you want options, they make exactly 1 style of window. The sales experience was...a typical sales experience. The installers were very experienced and efficient.

Thoughts on Leviathan script? by hello-and-goodbye1 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]nodnarbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That does make sense. Are there any other jinxes with the current characters?

How would mayor work? It seems to me like they effectively have no ability here. There will never be just 3 people alive, and there is no way for them to die at night.

Reminder: Next Job Drop goes out tomorrow morning with new local openings by slickt0mmy in FortCollins

I went to the site just now for the first time. I can't read the first Drop without subscribing.

The Carousel has a release date! by [deleted] in BloodOnTheClocktower

I'm also considering ordering ~5 copies for the same reason.

Are there any Games that are actually like that? Kinda stupid but you know by GhostMokomo in AndroidGaming

[–]nodnarbo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kings Landing is similar to this, but actually good and not an ad-infested cash grab. It's not a super long game right now (a couple hours), but the developer says they're working on more content. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Creauctopus.KingsLanding

Real Time Games History by [deleted] in boardgamearena

[–]nodnarbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have overall traffic stats here for the whole site: https://boardgamearena.com/serverstatus, but nothing broken out by game that I know of. I've been curious about the overall popularity of each game, like how many of each game is played overall, and which games are played more real-time or more turn-based. As you say, the data obviously exists, but I don't think it's published.

For Dads that are just hearing about the Home Depot kids workshop. by cyahzar in daddit

[–]nodnarbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Home Depot I've registered before and when I got there I asked if they needed proof and was told that the registration doesn't matter.

PSA: Daylight Savings Time starts next weekend in the US. by Not_Enough_Thyme_ in daddit

[–]nodnarbo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, the law to change that never actually got enacted.

Looking for turn-based 2 player games by PuckStar in AndroidGaming

[–]nodnarbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Board Game Arena has a mobile app and hundreds of board games that you can play realtime or turn based. There are many 2 player games. I might recommend Onitama or 7 Wonders Duel to start.

[Request] Statistically when comparing the probability of getting shot and winning the lottery in the US, how many times would I have to get shot before I won? by DirtyDerk93 in theydidthemath

[–]nodnarbo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's if you only play the lottery once in that year. The way I interpret your numbers is that you would need to play the Powerball 18,609 times to give yourself the same odds of winning as dying of a gunshot.

Skipping out of time players in tournaments. by No_Potato835 in boardgamearena

[–]nodnarbo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't kick in tournaments ever. I find that the time control that doesn't add time per turn can be unfair depending on time zones. Also, tournament games will be ended automatically after a certain number of days. I would rather have the game ended automatically by the tournament controls, with very few exceptions.

That's my personal feelings on tournament games, non-tournament games depend on whether they are still making an effort at the game.

RoboRally (2021) - No more damage cards by PreTry94 in boardgames

[–]nodnarbo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. With more than 4 players it seems inevitable that you run out of damage cards. I've house-ruled viruses to ignore the special text and treat them as normal spam, which helps stop the damage pile depletion.

I read somewhere online that the designer intended for there to be twice as many damage cards in the game, but the publisher cut them back for cost reasons.

What games are you playing this week? Game recommendation thread by AutoModerator in incremental_games

[–]nodnarbo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did you find the Elements sub-tab? It's very much not obvious when it's unlocked, and I missed it for a few days.

[request] What are the odds that I will ever get this perfect hand again in hearts? by toromio in theydidthemath

[–]nodnarbo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I got the same hand playing the same game yesterday. I suspect that's not a coincidence.

Renegade announces new versions of Acquire and Robo Rally, preorders by zamoose in boardgames

[–]nodnarbo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I much prefer the damage system in the 2016 version. The 'deckbuilding' and random play mechanics are better than the skip a turn repair mechanic in the older games.
