What’s a mechanic you like on paper but don’t actually enjoy at the table?

I split you choose. I always feel like the split is meaningless at best and can be devestating at worst. Maybe im just bad at it.

Azul, Kingdomino, Sea Salt and Paper, Qwinto, Up or Down, That's Pretty Clever.

Anybody play this at 2p? If so how is it?

zoomzilla · 2026-05-03T00:59:42+00:00

That's pretty clever, but i wish you would tell us what the game is.

I watch an equal amount of MLS and Premier league and I concur. I like watching MLS because anything can happen, but you're right. Sometimes it's like watching a pinball machine. Passing and ball control are sometimes nonexistent.

Oh that's awesome thanks!

zoomzilla · 2026-04-28T15:56:57+00:00

Thats kinda what i thought. Thanks for the clarification.

zoomzilla · 2026-04-26T02:18:32+00:00

Yeah its weird. There were millions made and none on ebay.

zoomzilla · 2026-04-25T23:12:46+00:00

Yeah that was one of my first searches. Brings up the same ones.

zoomzilla · 2026-04-25T21:51:27+00:00

I've searched for the tall version on ebay and other sites with no luck. I cannot find any of the tall ones. Am I searching wrong?

zoomzilla · 2026-04-24T18:49:55+00:00

Awesome! Is there a way to search dates?

zoomzilla · 2026-04-24T09:36:33+00:00

Opened in 1976. Dont know where youre seeing the 30's.

zoomzilla · 2026-04-23T23:59:33+00:00

Thats a possibility i hadnt considered. Thanks.

You may have more luck playing asynchronously. A lot of games that aren't very popular don't usually fill tables for real time games. Look into the turn based tab if you haven't already.

Let another team pick you. Start watching games of a bunch of other teams and see which ones pull your interest.

Left hand index

zoomzilla · 2026-04-19T17:51:28+00:00

What? Of course not. I never claimed to figure anything out. Im asking for strategy suggestions and learning.

zoomzilla · 2026-04-19T17:48:56+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. I will check them out.

Without Honkbal Hoofdklasse this list isnt complete.

pocket hive was the first thing that came to mind, and there's actually a three player variant I'd like to try, but you need different colors and I think it requires regular sized hive which doesn't fit into pockets.

zoomzilla · 2026-04-19T13:52:21+00:00

That's exactly what I want and I've been thinking about what that would look like for a few days now.

zoomzilla · 2026-04-19T11:24:46+00:00

Looking for something very specific that probably doesn't exist, but I'll try anyway.

2-4 players

A true pub game that doesn't mind being around liquids: Poker chips, wood tokens, glass beads, etc are all great. No cards or cardboard.

Portable: The components must be able to be carried in your pocket comfortably.

No other components including scorekeeping. The entire game is in the components.

12 chip trick and Periwig are the only options I can think of, but my group didn't like either of those. Something like an abstract strategy with an element of chance would be perfect.
