Board Games!

[Chevre]

Boardgamearena is where I fell in love with Libertalia and Stone Age and Coloretto.

Tokaido is great too.

[ChannelDelibird]

Can't really afford this and dunno if I'll be able to break it out before April ... but who knows when next I'll see it in stock?

Spoiler: yes

[Porochaz]

Tempted to buy Takaido, not sure yet though.

[Chevre]

Tokaido seems like the perfect game if you want something zen, because you're always collecting things. If you like stress, panic, and hard choices, this probably isn't the right game.

[ChannelDelibird]

Tokaido looks very clever. Prozac, you should buy it so that I can play it. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, looks good. Seeing what my Aberdeen board game group thinks, they arent huge fans of cooperative games, I managed to convince one of them to play BSG out of 4. (the others are semi interested, but that may be because I avoided saying co-operative in any discussion I've had with them)

[xRECKONERx]

It's not really cooperative because each person has their own goals

It's not

that

zen though. It can be pretty cut throat in terms of blocking people off. There aren't that many difficult choices admittedly but.

[BipolarChemist]

finally got to playing a few games on boardgamearena! It's pretty decent! Thanks all! Now to learn how to play Takenoko and Tokaido!

BSG players: Fancy trying either the Cylon Fleet Board or Earth on Saturday 31st or Sunday 1st?

[Sudo_Nym]

I'm in. Saturday would work slightly better for me. Preferably not at 6.30 am, though.

[ChannelDelibird]

Oh, alright then.

[Faraday]

Dead of winter is prettttttty cool.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

@CDB: I'm in!

[Sudo_Nym]

Dead of winter is prettttttty cool.

I agree. Socio added it to our gaming circle. Frankly, anybody who doesn't have it should just give up on board games forever.

[GreyICE]

I'm in if there's a fleet board and I'm around

[Sudo_Nym]

Just because it's tomorrow that we're talking about, how about 16:00 GMT as a start time? I assume we're using all the expansions, including the Fleet Board, and heading to Earth?

[ChannelDelibird]

Was actually talking about next weekend, not this. I'm out tomorrow! But I think maybe just Fleet Board to Kobol/Nebula? One new element at a time seems about right to me, but happy to be overruled if others want to go all in

[Sudo_Nym]

Alright, then I misunderstood, but that's fine. Next weekend should be cool.

[Fenchurch]

We just got

Galaxy Trucker

on the ipad and iphone so that we could play together. But we've just had two attempts at online multiplayer, and both times the game broke. Each time we set up a game for just two players and invited the other person. Building ships was fine, and the game was clearly interacting with each other, exchanging components and such. But as soon as we finish and get started on the mission, for some reason we it opens up a different mission card for each of us, e.g. I see Open Space and CES sees Pirates. And then we can't proceed because on my version it's waiting for CES to power up his engines, and on his it is waiting for me to choose which lasers to use.

Anyone experienced this? Any ideas why it's happening, and/or how to fix it?

[xRECKONERx]

I'm starting to worry that I got too hyped for Dead of Winter. I'm now looking at it a bit closer and it just looks like BSG-lite.
