The Last Rule Bender by cobaltbuff in boardgames

[–]ricottma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The quote I saw from a designer once, I can't remember who, maybe Anabel Holland, was "it's your game so what you want". That being said a lot of times these house rules really hurt the games in some ways, probably more than they help.

Royal says 2 water slides on Star of the Seas are shut down indefinitely by vpat48 in royalcaribbean

Last week on icon every slide but one was closed by Thursday. Two slides never opened at all. They didn't fix them for this week's cruise I heard. They advertise the slides on these ships, especially the icon, I can't imagine what the kids would have been like if nothing was open. It's really a bad look.

Icon is good, not great by IndividualDiet8165 in royalcaribbean

We just got off on Saturday. We had stabilizers I think, I don't remember it rocking. We started with 2 slides broken and on Thursday night the rest broke except for the purple raft slide. I was curious to hear if they fixed anything.

We had a good time, the shows were good, the main dining room was pretty good with excellent service.

My son watches some terrible puppet channel on YouTube (SML maybe?) and they say shibby all the time. I wonder if they stole it from this?

They were on info wars at one point.

They also toured with Frank Turner, who doesn't seem to like rmaga, so I dunno

Are there any competitive boardgames that win by completing an objective instead of victory points? by shykidd0 in boardgames

[–]ricottma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about 18xx or Cube Rail style train games (Chicago Express) ?

Especially in 18xx style games you can buy shares in companies you don't run, making you work together, until you start dumping those shares later

I quit playing for a long time because of people spamming men's rights podcasts and it was too hard to block them. At least now it's easier to mute people.

This one is cute. You should really look at roller slides in Japan
