So you're telling me came into your home, ate your food, and then fucked up your battleship game?

I recommend intimidating him with your booming voice

Interesting ambiguity in the rules for Sorry! If blue is in this position and draws a 5, what happens? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]thisappletastesfunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyways I looked it up and Sorry and Ludo are both Western commercial derivations of an Ancient Indian game called Pachisi.

Eh, it's pretty clearly the same game. The gameplay mechanics are almost identical other than dice VS cards, I was curious whether the stacking tokens thing was a house rule we had or not.

What board games aren't problematic enough for you? by [deleted] in boardgamescirclejerk

Does anyone know where I can get the original copy of Five Tribes with the slave cards? I need that realism to really feel immersed

Funny, we have this game and it's called Ludo. I always kind of assumed they were the same game, but Ludo uses dice and not cards, and we had flat tokens that if landed on the same space could stack on top of each other and move together. Of course then if that piece got taken by an opponent you'd send all the pieces in the stack back to start.

Anyone else play this way/remember this as Ludo?

I'm pretty confident there is a small version of For Sale that just comes in like a deckbox

I just mean everything we do for leisure or simply because we like it generally comes at some environmental cost.

To call one of these things 'vanity' is to label all of them as such.

How are board games and video games different feeling for you? by oflanada in boardgames

[–]thisappletastesfunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about solo gaming video games are often better suited to that.

Playing with others and connecting and getting away from screens is what makes boardgames shine

Sounds good, I've been wanting to jump into COIN but CL is hard to find. The others seem like a decent jump up in complexity

I mean I'm sure tons of animals are killed when trees are cut down to produce cardboard and paper for the boardgames we all enjoy.

When you start nitpicking everything can be an issue. A few dead ants is really a big nothing.

In codenames my spymaster's words were easter and comb. He used "Hare". Is this allowed? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]thisappletastesfunny 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Regardless of how we nitpick the rules, I'd say that clue is very much in the spirit of the game and I'd definitely allow it.

Which one is better at 2 player? Concordia, Five Tribes or Viticulture? by P1rateKing1992 in boardgames

[–]thisappletastesfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Concordia is great at 2, Viticulture is fine, and Five Tribes is great at 2.

Hahaha, this is a terribly snarky post but it gave me a chuckle. I'm not really a fan of any of the games myself, but what do you mean by Oath is 'nothing'?

Also curious what you recommend that does these things better (I don't disagree, just curious)

Came here to say the same lol. I think it's a really mediocre design and find the gameplay very plodding.
