Board Games!

[zoraster]

you have summoned reck

[Juls]

Lords of Waterdeep

also has an app.

It does? That game is a lot of fun.

[Chevre]

Small World also has an app.

[xRECKONERx]

Anyone around for some BSW or Vassal or something tonight?

[Juls]

Anyone around for some BSW or Vassal or something tonight?

I wouldn't mind playing power grid on bsw.

[chamber]

I could be convinced to bsw.

[Sudo_Nym]

Not tonight, but I'd be in the mood to rustle people up for games tomorrow, if anyone's going to be around.

[Chevre]

i would play powergrid with y'all if you teach me how

EDIT: OR SOMETHING ELSE

[Sudo_Nym]

If I ran Shadows over Camelot in Mish Mash, would there be interest in playing it?

[Juls]

I'd play

[Siveure DtTrikyp]

I might.

[xRECKONERx]

yeah

[quadz08]

I've never played, but would be willing to give it a shot if you'll take a newbie.

[xRECKONERx]

we own the physical game and have only played it once. -_-

[GreyICE]

Could Cosmic encounter work on forum/Vassal/BSW?

I think my first playthrough would be like 3-6 players, probably more likely lower numbers. But it's literally $46 and that would be the most I would have ever spent on a board game. (I know, I'm fortunate/cheap. The most I've ever spent is like $41 for

Stone Age

, which never gets played. :'( Anyone wanna trade?)

Speaking of which I woke up this morning and Amazon sent me mail telling me

Felix the Cat in the Sack

was on sale but it was still $35

I rather intensely dislike

Stone Age

... so that's a no.

I guess I would run cosmic on forum if people really wanted it, it would be fun to mod, but it's a very component-friendly game (you get 20 little UFOs that are a big part of the game). Best option is to find a gamestore with a library, and test it there.

Would play forum-Cosmic

Hells yes. MS people are the perfect people to play it with. You need to have a complete willingness to slit each other's throat in game combined with the ability to ignore the doubledealings when the game is over.

[Sudo_Nym]

Shadows over Camelot is now in signups

[Chevre]

So I was in a clean-y mood tonight and I organized my board games. My storage closet has three shelves so I organized them into three "tiers" based on a combination of how much I like them and how likely they are to get played. The bottom tier is essentially stuff that I would sell or trade for a different game.

Spoiler: Top Tier

7 Wonders
Betrayal at House on the Hill
Coloretto
Innovation
Jamaica
Liar's Dice
Libertalia
Rapid Recall
Saint Malo
Settlers of Catan
Survive: Escape from Atlantis
Survivor: The Game
Steam Park (it hasn't been played yet, but right now it's here)
Tobago
Yahtzee

Spoiler: Middle Tier

5 Second Rule
Anomia
Buzzword
Chupacabra: Survive the Night!
Fluxx
Forbidden Island
Hedbandz
Lifeboats
Primordial Soup
Saboteur
Sequence
Size Matters
Werewolves of Millers' Hollow

Spoiler: Bottom Tier

Bang!
Bohnanza
Catchphrase
The Game of Things
Quelf
The Resistance
Stone Age
Swap!
Topple

[chamber]

I'm surprised you dislike bohnanza and The game of things so much.

[Chevre]

I don't dislike Bohnanza. Maybe I've just been unlucky with it, but I've never played anything other than the 2-player variant. I've had it for over a year so it's bottom tier.

The Game of Things is kind of neat I guess, but it's kind of fiddly with all the paper and such. I'd much prefer playing it on here or somewhere else electronically. Also I have recently realized that the cards can be used for other hilarious ventures. However, when I was organizing everything I opened to find that half the cards were still in shrink wrap, lol

[Hanasawa]

I am so looking forward to seeing how Shadows over Camelot will be like with mafia players playing. Woo.

[Thesp]

I don't dislike Bohnanza. Maybe I've just been unlucky with it, but I've never played anything other than the 2-player variant. I've had it for over a year so it's bottom tier.

Bohnanza

is definitely best when played with 5 or so players - the trading with lots of people aspect is what drives the game. It's worth giving it a try with a larger crowd.

[GreyICE]

How is

The Resistance

bottom tier? In person it's like a better Mafia.

[Juls]

I prefer

The Resistance - Avalon

to the original but still a good game.

[Chevre]

Like I've said before, my group just doesn't really care for traitor-based games like Mafia or the Resistance. I think it was one of the first games I bought but despite it's simplicity our group has only played it once.

[Juls]

Yeah my group doesn't either. It's kind of a bummer.
