reddit because the boardgame discussion on here is dead, boardgamegeek doesn’t do well unless you’re looking at a specific game (and CasualUK is pretty decent)
Facebook because that’s where the church tech discussion is and I can sell boardgames so fast on there on the main group for my country.
Both sites main feeds are dead to me though, if Lemmy ever picks up significantly I can see me moving over full time
Twitter/Instagram/Snapchat/LinkedIn have all never been used or deleted.
Pick up a hobby. Boardgames are good and come with literal rules on how to interact with the other humans (presumed) at the table
You know you can cancel the service when you’ve watched all you want to watch, right?
Take it off the shelf and put it on the table.
I’m looking for realistic answers to 6 out of those, before I’ll consider it
Börenpark, was just boring.
No real competition for tiles, no real race to the finish.
Gang of Dice, 3 player
Carcassonne, 2 player
Mind Up, 3 player
Big City, 3 player
Basically anything my young ones like.
There’s no fighting other players in New Frontiers, exploring is abstracted to drawing from a bag, exploiting is two actions and expanding is paying the relevant cost for the tech/world
It’s nowhere near a 4X, barely a 1X IMHO. It’s a engine building game.

Should you want to visit the announcement directly
Power Grid, accessible plenty of player interaction with loads of maps to mix it up
Race for the Galaxy, engine building without the fuss
6Nimmt wide ranging player count, plays pretty well at all of them and includes plenty of hilarious moments
Say it with me -
This is my trolley. There are many like it but this one is mine. My troller is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my trolley is useless. Without my trolley I am useless. I must steer my trolley true. I must steer straighter than my enemy, who is trying to get discounted meat quicker than me. I must get it from him before he gets it from me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my trolley and myself are defenders of my shopping, we are the masters of my enemy, we are the saviours of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.
I wonder if it’s a reimplementation of Risk Express/Age of War? - https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/28086/risk-express
I don’t really like worker placement games but I really like Keyflower and Tzolk’in
Yup, that’ why I added ‘almost’.
The answer to is X years too old to start Y activity is almost always no.
I’d love to get a game of Doppelkopf in
Quest for El Dorado, having got the new Dutrait art with proper cards it was a delight to get this out. Myself vs my seven year old kid.
I won with a thin deck and taking the longer easy routes. Kiddo concentrates fully on the shortest possible path and often gets stuck on teh three symbol spaces waiting for the perfect card.
I always answer ‘tetris’ to this. Whatever maximises shelf space
Gice him the ‘real’ renting and charge 27% of his salary, 49% if you’re in/near London. Add 1/7 of your gas/elec/phone bill and you’re there!
