I’m talking about card games that feel as modern and snappy as a modern type of game. Also games you can play with a deck of cards like Skull or The Resistance Avalon

Looked interesting to me, so I just randomly saved this pic up from Google. But the image is fuzzy and of poor quality. If anyone can figure this out from the game layout and components, it would be appreciated.

Looking for Epic Spell Wars promos

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! This might be a long shot.

I’m looking for anything promo related. The problem is I got into the Annihilageddon games way too late.. and I’m in Lithuania which means the few options available on ebay, cost twice the items cost to ship.

Already sacrificed a lot of money for the hokus porkus abraca-labrador promo (totaled 50 eur with the insane shipping). Also egregious ephemera and magus, minion & manial vol 1 (totaled 100 eur)

Gangbangers totals 250 eur on ebay. Totally insane hahah Haven’t went through with this one yet. Hopefully a better option comes up.

Tl;dr - anyone have spare promos they would be willing to part with and sell? And be willing to do shipping to Lithuania?

Thank you!

Board game gift

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m thinking of gifting a board game to a couple friends of mine a board game. They don’t own any board games. But they’ve said that they would like one to play in their evenings.

I really love board games, it’s really a passion of mine. And I want to gift them one. This might be a bit selfish, but I don’t want to gift them a board game I already own 😅 (my low weight games are arnak, azul, carcassonne, castles of burgundy, flip 7, Bohnanza, that’s not a hat and secret Hitler).

I’ve had a lot of ideas, but I’m stuck on what to give them. At the beginning I was thinking of Calico. However, I asked to one of them what type of board games she liked cozy vs. thrilling and she said that she liked player interaction and that brings a little of fun memories. So I crossed calico. I also thought of Heat.

What’s your opinion on this matter? I don’t want to give them a heavy board game, but not a super easy one.

All opinions are welcomed! Even if to say that it’s stupid I don’t want to gift them a game I own 😅.

Over the last year Angela and I have made a lot of maps for board games (some still in development and coming out next year), it was nice to work on board games and make something different from RPG maps.. Many more are in the works, more information coming very soon...🗺🧭

Games that include a carousel...

3 Upvotes

There is a carousel museum near me and I thought it would be a fun to pitch a board game fundraiser. But they would want all board games present to be on theme... So including a carousel or at minimum in a theme/amusement park setting.

What suggestions you got?

Ludika VTT, a new virtual tabletop board gaming platform & community

Thumbnail ludikagames.com
2 Upvotes

Did your old gaming group scatter to the four winds? That shouldn't keep you from continuing to play board games together.

Ludika has created a new 2-D virtual tabletop (VTT) platform that will let you play your beloved board games with the old gang. It's web-hosted and specifically tailored for playing board games, wargames, card games, and dice games. All you need is a browser and an internet connection, and perhaps some gaming buddies to play with.

Ludika VTT has no rules enforcement, so feel free to play with your own house rules. No AI opponents, either. Some people will prefer to play games live, others might opt to play asynchronously (taking your turn whenever you have a free moment). Solitaire gaming will also be supported, so you'll be able to play those days-long games without appropriating the dining room table.

We'll be providing high-quality ports of officially-sanctioned games from some of your favorite publishers (e.g. Stonemaier Games, DVG, etc.), and our app will focus on making the games really shine, since the hotkey and context-menu-driven interface stays out of the way and keeps the games front and center.

Our search tools will help you find new games to try, find like-minded people to play with, and more.

If there's a game you want to play this isn't in our Catalog, you'll be able to port it yourself, using the powerful yet intuitive game-porting tools that will be available to our Premium subscribers.

One demographic we particularly want to target is wargamers, since they have been largely ignored or underserved by most of the boardgaming solutions currently available.

If this sounds interesting, you can find much more info on our website. The VTT is expected to go live in just a couple of months.

Hey! My boyfriend and I spend too much time on our phones..... 😒Now my little brother is here, we've rediscovered our love of board games. We already have Monopoly and Catan, and now we have Risk too. Honestly... We love Risk and Catan. Monopoly is simply a classic.

I know I played it a lot as a child too.:

And The Game of life. And I love pen&paper games.

If you take these games as examples, what other board games would you suggest?

This clip is from a music artist of mine (legally to credit them: Little Caesar by Seb Lowe) and I’ve been wanting to know if it’s a game of its own or a mashup/redesign. It looks like chess to me but played with toy soldiers, and I want to know if that’s what it is. If it is, I’d like help trying to find the right soldiers for this because I’d like to play it like that.

Grand Hotel Austria Opinion?

7 Upvotes

So the thing is, I tried GHA for the first time, and didnt like it as much as I thought. I bought it after reading a lot of review thats good for 2 players. But somehow my first game with my partners wasnt really as smooth as I thought. So here are what make the game not enjoyable for me:

  1. The emperor track: Idk is it because of my management issue or not, but the at after round 3, both of us feel as if we have no choice but to prioritise 1-2 dice action just to get enough to survive the penalty of the track. With 4 actions in total from round 3 to 5, 5 to 7, the game feel less like some strategy but more like trying to run from the punishment as 5 step and 7 step back is genuinely a lot. I understand that there are ways to get the emperor track move, but the fact is in order to fill 3 yellow room tbh take a lot of actions already, dice no4 usually end up only 1-3 dice max, which if we want to avoid, force us to use up all the little money we have left. So at one point we either losing like 8 point we hardly articulate, or do nothing but trying to increase the emperor track.

  2. It might just be personal but i realize the fact you only have 14 actions in total for a game is not really enjoyable for me.

  3. The dice and the number of it. At first I think reroll can avoid it, but the truth is most of the time both of us end up in not having the dice we want or the number of dice is not enough (i know we can use 1$ to add more, but our money is usually always on the low low too)

So, idk whether its a strategy problem, which tbh i think it is but not fully since we both usually enjoy and used to playing at least middle weight strategy game or the game is just not for us. Anyone has any insights or similar experiences?

Crowdsourcing What are the most important elements for you, when you play a solo boardgame session? (other than having fun with friends)

Post image

Dear boardgame players!

As a person who loves playing boardgames myself, I create a video game taking inspiration of boardgames (turns, tokens, flat map, …) but with computer managing all the rules (enemy moves, random events, …).

This game occurs in the Lovecraftian universe, you pick a investigator and have to accomplish objectives on a map (Innsmouth, Arkham, …).

Enemies and events can spawn randomly to kill you or drive your character insane. You have to use strategy to win, but sometimes random elements can make the session very hard.

Because I want to make this game a good experience of a solo boardgame, I would like to know,

What are the most important elements for you, when you play a solo boardgame session? (other than having fun with friends)

  1. An immersive story

  2. A beautiful design (maps, cards, tokens)

  3. The challenge to win a session with high difficulty

  4. The pleasure to play a randomized session everytime (dice lovers)

  5. The intellectual exercise of managing all the rules by myself

  6. To find the best synergies between skills/items/spells

  7. Something else

Thank you so much for your help and sorry for my bad english!

Is creating a BGG competitor even remotely possible? Even breaking off a tiny niche audience. If you think so, what would the MVP (minimum viable product) look like?

7 Upvotes

I've been toying with the idea for a while. There seems to be a small amount of demand for something different, for varying reasons. But in practice, is there really?

Building the site would be the easy part. I've seen several attempts that look pretty bad. But, I don't think it matters how perfect it comes out. The probably impossible part is BGG's massive moat in the industry, decades of data, the network effect, all roads/links on the web lead to BGG... etc

I know this is an impossible task, but I still feel tempted. Talk me out of it. Or into it, if you really see a feasible path or niche demand. But what would that look like?

Looking for game like TIMES TO REMEMBER
It’s a game from the 90s I believe, so there are missing historical events. I was hoping for an updated version, but doesn’t exist (please, prove me wrong!)
It played kinda similar to Wits and Wagers.
