So I'm seriously looking at Evacuation and I wanted to hear some thoughts, particularly in regards to how it ranks with Suchy's other games, as how the tastes of others lines up with my own really helps me determine if a game is for me.

For the record, Underwater Cities is one of my favorite games. I like that it has enough options for things to go for on the board where you build, but you have enough of a clear goal that it isn't a VP salad affair (some I generally do not like).

I enjoyed Pulsar quite a bit but I always found the game to be too short to accomplish enough for the amount of options it offered.

I did not care for Praga Cuput Regni. I always felt that the game was pulling me in too many directions to really find any of my turns to be particularly satisfying. I also found some of the systems were a little too disparate for my tastes (games that feel like a collection of mini games mashed together also don't go over well with me).

I've also played Last Will, which is so different for him that I don't compare it to his other games. Never played Woodcraft.

So if you've played Evacuation, would love to hear some thoughts and where you stand on Suchy's other games.

Me and my wife are currently looking to buy one of these 2 games. We love playing boardgames but the games we have so far are "easy" so to say. I think the harvest game we have is Taverns and Dragons (which we LOVE).

We've seen some reviews for both Dice Forge and Dice Realms and while we like the design of both we're really looking for the "harder but not too hard" game. We'd love to get a somewhat more harder game but dont ant it too be so hard that we regret oir purchase. So, which one of these is more accesible and would you say one of these is too hard for beginner/ intermediate players?

I like playing War of the Ring, but I would love a game that is similar in its battle mechanics, but symmetric and possibly for more that 2 players. Bonus points if it is fantasy or sci-fi. Also it could be a bit shorter. Does anyone know such a game?

Hello, I am relatively new to board games (as of now, I have played and liked Brass Birmingham, Dune Imperium, Inis and War of the Ring: The Card Game, and Coup if we look at smaller games), and I was looking for a game with a bit more politics to it (alliances, backstabbing, etc.) and I believe that these 2 titles would be a good fit for me and the people I play games with (the theme seems nice, they aren't too complicated/long, etc.).

Could you please give me your thoughts on these game and how they compare? (+ maybe some other recommendations, e.g., Fief England looks like it'll be interesting but it hasn't released yet)

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm a solo game designer from Italy. I'm currently working on the Kickstarter campaign for my game "Dragon in the Hut," and I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas! 🎲✨

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dragoninthehut/dragon-in-the-hut-the-dragon-hatching-card-game

Dragon in the Hut is the dragon-hatching card game. An action-packed and easy-to-learn game with a pinch of strategy, a splash of rivalry, and two drops of bluff. And dragons!

I'm looking to make the campaign as exciting and rewarding as possible for backers.

So, what would you like to see added to the campaign? Are there any exclusive rewards, stretch goals, or add-ons that would make you even more excited to back the project?

Your input is incredibly valuable to me, so please feel free to share any suggestions or feedback you have in the comments below. Let's make "Dragon in the Hut" the best it can be together! 🐲💥

Thanks in advance for your input! 🙏

Discovered the existence of Dune: War for Arrakis recently and became instantly excited at the prospect of playing it (Rebellion and WotR sharing the top spot for me) and my wife, hearing it was somewhat similar to LOTR:WotR, sneakily ordered it for us to play today. Sadly the postage was delayed a day and our date-night boardgame plans have been thwarted. (The dinner we planned is also ruined but that's a different story).

Curse Cornwall and its lack of plentiful game shops. Spent an hour calling all the 1 good boardgame shop within a reasonable distance and all the minor ones in the off-chance. I would of just driven an hour or so down the road to get one but sadly that's not really on the cards in this corner of England.

Any of you had any recent, game-related, minor disappointments that your inner man/woman-child struggled to cope with?

Hello all, Have one question: the mermaid belongs to white color? For example if I have 2 mermaids, and just one card of each color, one of the mermaids will give me 2 points from the white color (1 per mermaid)? Thanks

I have this game I created over the years called Tabbas it's chess like strategy board game and all the folk who have played my cardboard cut out version love it, I'm thinking about trying get it out there I'm not sure where would I go from here. Any advice from you all would be much appreciated.

Our group (we are two couples) is preparing for our first session of Fury of Dracula together.

I'm the only one who has played the game before. I've played it twice at 3 players and that allowed one person to be Dracula and the other two people two hunters each.

My question is what would make the most sense logistically seeing as the other people haven't played the game before.

I was thinking that I'd play Dracula and each other player plays one hunter each primarily, with the fourth hunter character being cycled between the players each round. Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Hey! I've recently bought Tribes of the Wind and, although some aspects of the game seemed quite nice and well-balanced, I was underwhelmed by a few things:

1. The scoring system (basically the only things which matter are village cards and being able to finish the game first to gain +5 points)
2. The absence of rounds or something like that, it becomes boring eventually to just do the same things all over again until you build 5 villages, it feels like the game would benefit from some changes in the game progression. Like maybe adding some changes to every person's game screen whenever the 1/2/3/4 village is built for the first time etc.
3. The overall weakness of some cards and mechanics, such as the catapult.

Basically, I was wondering if someone tried some home rules to fix these things or change the game in some other way. If so, please feel free to share them here!

People are always looking for games that are easy to learn and hard to master and that's how I like them too, I'm just curious of what would be in the opposite side of the spectrum

With 12 million subscribers and multiple videos reaching a million plus views by sheer raw numbers Games4two is the largest and most viewed channel in. Contrast this with SUSD (100k views) or Dice Tower (1k views) the difference between them and everyone else is massive.

However despite their size and traffic, they're practically invisible in board game spaces. Their content isn't recom here, their videos are not shared, they're not invited as guests at cons, hold panels or collaborate with other creators.

Is this because of the channel is not like your typical channel (long form reviews/game analysis) or is this an example of what enthusiastist think is good does not reflect what is actually popular or liked?

I am lookibgfor a deck box for ligretto all 3 sets so thats 12x40card (480) i think it would be good for the decks of 40 to be split up in to there set decks to make playing with morw or less people easyer. But i want to carry all 12 in one box any recommendtions?

Hello all, i never played an online board game before. Yesterday, played plague inc first time in a cafe and loved it. I saw that it is available in tts but do people actually play it? Are there servers up for it? Or is it something i can only play with friends?

You know what would be amazing? If gamefound and Kickstarter had a calendar page in the profile section showing the estimated month of fulfilment. It's a pain to every now and then go through all the projects and/or updates to see how long more we need to wait, and that's with the campaigns that actually update once a month!

Hey guys,

Currently im looking to expand my collection in the scifi 4x Direktion, but both games in this Genre im intrested in, Voidfall and Eclipse, are rather big. Voidfall i already played with 3 people, while eclipse has been a TTS Only thing.

My table is 180x90cm big. Would eclipse fit with a game of 3-4 players?

Happy Monday, r/boardgames!

It's time to hear what games everyone has been playing for the past ~7 days. Please feel free to share any insights, anecdotes, or thoughts that may have arisen during the course of play. Also, don't forget to comment and discuss other people's games too.

I don't know how big this game is anymore, but hence the recent new expansion I assume it still has some traction. Anyway, I made this tierlist to see what any other r/boardgames redditers thought about the different bandits and where they stand in contrast to one another.

Here is the link to the template, if you would like to try it out:

My FLGS offers a weekly board game open play event. Since this is a recurring event, I would suppose that it has players of varying skill levels, with some possibly being quite experienced. I'm interested in joining them but I only know some of the games they play but not others.

What's the etiqutte for learning new games? Should I ask how to play more comprehensively early on and then listen the best I can and then try to follow the rules I was shown, or should I just do more trial and error? From your experience, are most experienced players willing to teach new players, or should I be seen more as a waste of their time or a chump (and as such should perhaps stick to games I am more familiar with first)? Any other advice?

Hey I just got a copy of twilight struggle delux second hand. Haven't played it yet but my girlfriend and I are hoping to soon. I heard that in tournaments they give the USA +2 influence because the USSR is slightly stronger otherwise. But someone else also said that the optional cards also make the game more balanced. Should we give the USA 2+ influence if we have the optional cards as well? Or did the Delux version balance it so that giving extra influence is unnecessary?

also how does the 2+ influence work? can it go anywhere on the board? or only in places the US has influence? thanks

I have the electronic battleship game and it needs to be wiped down. Is it safe to use clorox wipes on it? Would it harm the stickers/labels/etc?

Hey everyone. I'm thinking of getting into Zombicide but $80 is a big investment. I saw Heroes Resistance on Amazon for about $25 and that seems much more reasonable.

I was just wondering if it was a good intro to Zombicide?

Thanks!

Hey all!

What is everyone's thoughts on Arkham Horror and it's expansions? For context, I ordered a copy from Amazon maybe five years ago. It didn't show up on time, and I requested a refund. Fast forward about two months and it shows up. I checked my statements and my Amazon account and never got charged. Reached out to Amazon and they said to just keep it. And so I did, and it has not been played once.

Made an attempt once but couldn't get the group into it. Now many years later, I'd love to get into it and play it with my family (wife and pre-teen). Any tips for getting them into it or making it a pretty easy entry for them? I know it may look intimidating but they've gotten into Root before which to me seems more so. Also, are the expansions worth getting at some point?

Thanks!

Anyone here have an H-Index over 6?
