brosephmcbrah: More like BORED Games

CharacterMusings 05.07.18	You need Settlers of Catan in your life.
SteakByrnes 05.07.18	Board games rule dude, one called Eclipse is one of my favorites
Sharkattack 05.07.18	There is a game called Coup that is really simple but very fun. Lots of deception, lying, and political maneuvering. Games last anywhere from 10 minutes to like 30 depending on how many people are playing.
DinosaurJones 05.07.18	Dead of Winter, bruh.
Mentasm 05.07.18	the only board games I've ever played are Monopoly and Snake
Sinternet 05.07.18	i like carcassone, monopoly and settlers of catan obviously games like chess, draughts, backgammon aswell im more of a card game player though tbh
polyrhythm 05.07.18	Just finished my first game of Twilight Imperium. I was the sexy telepathic snake race and won by a whisker. Other games I’ve been enjoying over the last couple years: - Dead of Winter and its expansions - Scythe - Citadels - Pandemic: Legacy - Bloodborne - Game Of Thrones card game and board game - Letters From Whitechapel - Betrayal at the House on the Hill - Codenames - Coup - Resistance / Avalon - 7 Wonders - Imperial Assault - Carcassonne
hal1ax 05.07.18	might have to check scythe
hal1ax 05.07.18	eh just looked it up and i don't think i would like scythe.. twilight imperium looks sick tho
polyrhythm 05.07.18	It fucking rules man
Chortles 05.07.18	some of my friends are suuuper into board games so i've played a good amount. it's fun though, i got much more into it than i ever thought i would tbh some of my favorites are El Grande, Lords of Vegas and Secret Hitler. Also just played the Great Western Trail for the first time recently and it's reaally good
trilo 05.07.18	board games rule been playing terraforming mars, evolution: climate and of course settlers of catan. thinking about picking up spirit island as well. seems neat
Chortles 05.07.18	@poly how is the bloodborne board (card?) game? been thinking about picking it up
dbizzles 05.07.18	- Resistance / Avalon [2] If you haven't played it- get on it. I prefer the Avalon version. The basic rules are quick to learn for anyone, but the more people you play with the better it can get. We got one of my bosses addicted to this for a while and my office played it nearly every day for 6-8 months. You just fucking lie and betray everyone and it owns. I think Coup is very similar.
Davil667 05.07.18	Love me some great board games. I'm pretty much into Zombicide atm. Fun af.
Davil667 05.07.18	And just found out last weekend there is a Doom board game, will def check that one out.
DinosaurJones 05.07.18	Of course, someone has to bring up D&D (me). And Weave.
dbizzles 05.07.18	Doom board game looks so dope.
polyrhythm 05.07.18	@Chorts I really like it eh. Captures the vibe of the game with a risk / reward feature and using all the same assets. Feels as close to playing Bloodborne as you could hope from a 30 min card game. Gonna pick up the expansion with my next paycheck
owen 05.08.18	small world is fun but a lot of people same to hate it for some reason
BREAKDOWNS 05.08.18	catan is shit
onionbubs 05.08.18	[2] dull ass shit
trilo 05.08.18	wrong
onionbubs 05.08.18	legit dont know how anyone can enjoy it everything about it is just flat out not fun
trilo 05.08.18	also wrong
polyrhythm 05.08.18	Catan is like a 6/10 game, really only a smidge above the likes of Monopoly in how bland it is
trilo 05.08.18	of course it's bland in retrospect. most things that popularize a genre and have been iterated on for years pale in comparison. it's still a solid title for getting new players into eurogames and its simplicity and interaction make for a fun, if shallow, time.
BREAKDOWNS 05.08.18	it's not fun tho
trilo 05.08.18	thats just like ur opinion man
BREAKDOWNS 05.08.18	if opinions were "just like ur opinion man" music would mean nothing.
trilo 05.08.18	what
BREAKDOWNS 05.08.18	suck my dick from front, back, sideways, pythagorean theorem, etc.
trilo 05.08.18	ye i feel u on that
SymbolicInTime 05.08.18	Munchkin is loads of fun. Haven't played in years though. Last time was my last day of high school
BREAKDOWNS 05.08.18	i like you
BREAKDOWNS 05.08.18	not TheWonderSoFar tho i hate you
trilo 05.08.18	slam on brotha

trilo 05.08.18	wtf banished my ass
SymbolicInTime 05.08.18	my b I was out of line
brosephmcbrah 05.08.18	Y'all need a nice little game of Catan to settle you down.
Masochist 05.08.18	Board games are huge here in Austin. There aren't too many cities this size with the number of game shops per capita as here. Settlers of Catan the base game isn't fun. With Cities & Knights, it becomes a whole different game. I can never play anything else. Ticket to Ride is another entry-level board game which is quite simple, but very fun. I'm actually surprised it became so popular, though it might be because of its simple premise. Pandemic is hard as balls. But I'm a masochist, sooooo...I love it. There's also Tsuro, Tokaido and Takenoko, the Eastern-themed "Zen games" (as I like to call them) that are gorgeous, fun and easy to play (unless you pick up Tsuro's bullshit, friendship-ending cousin, Tsuro By The Sea). Does anyone play any deck builders? Dominion, Legendary, DC Deck Builder? I think, all in all, those are my favorite type of games. If you've never played one before, I recommend trying Dominion, as it will give you the basic essentials to understanding how a deck builder works. DC Deck Builder, I find, is easy to teach and fun to play with everyone with.
trilo 05.08.18	ticket to ride isn't that fun. it's a cool concept but it's so frustrating when people block your routes. dominion is alright. i love deckbuilding games but dominion (at least the base game - it's all i've played) sorely lacks interactivity between your opponent. star realms is just better across the board as far as deckbuilders go imo
zakalwe 05.08.18	Any D&D fans amongst you nerds?
Pheromone 05.08.18	Zak, if you’re a D&D fan, my image of who you are will completely shatter into confusion
Davil667 05.08.18	Played AD&D a LOT back then, especially Ravenloft and Dark Sun.
zakalwe 05.08.18	Phero bro if it’s any consolation I did have a go back in the 80s not a fucking clue. Massive manual, 48 sided die, more cards than a 1930s telephone operating system. Bin.
DinosaurJones 05.08.18	Dominion gets a lot better with the expansions. Intrigue is my personal favorite expansion (so far, haven't played with all of them) And yeah, I play D&D. I'm working on my own homebrew campaign, and I play in a campaign a buddy of mine runs. Pretty sure it's a module.
SymbolicInTime 05.08.18	Idk if any of you guys were ever into the Angry Video Game Nerd, but he had a very interesting and funny segment called Bored James where he'd play random board games and whatnot, def some cool board games amongst those videos
polyrhythm 05.08.18	@Masochist I found Dominion dry as shit. Takenoko and Ticket To Ride are great fun though
DinosaurJones 05.08.18	I don't think Ticket to Ride is all that fun, especially because the people I play it with just make trains = dicks jokes.
polyrhythm 05.08.18	I have never once heard a dick joke, in about a dozen games of TtR played with a rotating group of people. Either your crew is immature or we're a bunch of fucken prudes
DinosaurJones 05.08.18	Probably that first one. I only hang out with that group of friends a couple times a year though, so I put up with it.
polyrhythm 05.08.18	Dick jokes or not, I still find myself enjoying each game of Ticket to Ride. While the gameplay is pretty straightforward and the strategy negligible, that makes it a good game to play if you are drinking and chatting away, or playing with people that aren't super into board games. Weird praise to give, but it earns its place on my shelf
DinosaurJones 05.08.18	It's a "casual" board game. I don't think it's a bad game, it's just not my personal favorite. But it's definitely more of a social game than a strategy game, yeah.
bloc 05.08.18	Eh, I don't mind a board game night with friends maybe once every few months, but my friends are REALLY fuckin into it. Much more than I can handle.
polyrhythm 05.08.18	Nowhere near my favourite, but among the best games you can whip out for an undemanding 60-90 mins imo
DinosaurJones 05.08.18	My friend actually runs a board game café up in Boston. I went and stayed up there for a week, and it seems pretty cool. Everyone that came in was so nice and respectful, and there was so much inclusion it was awesome.
trilo 05.08.18	yea ticket to ride is a fine casual game. those are good to have on the shelf. it's in that tier with catan, which is to say it's a good entry game for new board gamers that want to play something a step above monopoly.
DinosaurJones 05.08.18	Yeah, it's kind of hard to convince people to play stuff like Dead of Winter or Betrayal at the House on the Hill since they have a lot of rules and can take upwards of 3 hours.
bloc 05.08.18	There's a zombie apocalypse game I played where you choose a character with different strengths and weaknesses and like there's a group objective as well as a secret objective for each player. Forget what it's called, but it was fun.
Davil667 05.08.18	Could be Zombicide, really fun game.
DinosaurJones 05.08.18	Sounds like Dead of Winter to me, bloc
polyrhythm 05.09.18	That’s Dead of Winter for sure. Fantastic game
Masochist 05.09.18	Dominion is basic, but it really does a great job of teaching the basics of how a Deck Builder works. It was my first, and I've only ever played it once since that first time. I absolutely LOVE the comic ones, though--DC Deck Builder and Legendary.
DinosaurJones 05.09.18	Half of my D&D group is pretty bad at RP and it makes me sad.
Mentasm 05.09.18	Anyone here plays Gungi? Very popular in East Gorteau.
DinosaurJones 05.09.18	Never even heard of it.
bloc 05.09.18	I prefer "broad games" hehehehe
DinosaurJones 05.09.18	NAILED IT HIGH FIVE
