>>1100474>or some other game I know how to play?Which ones would that be? I'm not a mind reader, you know

>>1100800> BassBrass, typo.Birmingham but I'd like to try Lancashire at some point
>>1100800Let's get 5 people and play some El Grande. There is nothing wrong with playing Pax Ren more than 4 times
>>1100800I could play but i have less than 3 hours of time.
>>1100800can you teach terra mystica
>>1101040NTA but I can teach Gaia Project which from what I heard basically Terra Mystica 2: In Space.

>>1101097Weirdest game of Gaia Project. I think I might actually prefer Munchkin to this lol.Thanks for hosting!
>>1101207Well in hindsight GP looks more like a weekend game than a midweek one, so I went with whatever else someone proposed first.>spoileruhhh... well... some munchkin variants are actually kind of good
>>1101214Tell me about the variants
>>1101217There's the dungeon one for example, which is similar to clank catacombs
Quick reminder, Jaws of the Lion tomorrow at 16:00 UTC (~20 hours from the time of posting)
>>1101223Ah, I thought you were talking about rules variants rather than different versions.Btw if anybody is interested I would like to play Sekigahara again, don't have time today but I we can just save the game or just do a teach.
is this thread ever active? I always get on at different times and every single time it's been 2 hours since the last reply
>>1101500No, you have to announce in advance and anons will still ignore your host
>>1101500Anons are shy and never reply or post. I'm blessed in the sense that I'm free during both of the main timezones but now and usually I play irl at this time, you wanna play something? Could be available in a couple more hours.
I would also be interesting in something in about an hour or so.
>>1101552>>1101616I can go too if this qualifies as "couple more hours"
>>1101616>>1101706I'll host in a couple minutes then.
>>1101771What are you hosting?
>>1101787Idk, here's the first 3 things my app picked at random I swear to God I'm not putting Pax there on purpose lmaoBut I could go for anything, been wanting to play some Galaxy Trucker, it's been a while.

>>1101889IMPERIAL VICTORY, PRAISE THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE
Guess the game took the decision for me. I'll see if I can open a quick lobby of Project L, but if you can't join because servers might be down I'll call it a day.
>>1101917And GG! Thanks everybody for joining, hope you enjoyed the games!

>>1102219Hungary (no armies) with its twin vassals byzantium (no armies) and HRE (no armies). Managed to crown himself king of kings just before the conspiracy would topple his regime.
Any games today? Might host something in an hour or two, refer to this list >>1100800 minus the pax ren restriction (but id still like to try the other paxs)Small update from loading issues anonI've performed a windows reset and TTS still hates me using mod threading, however even with it disabled it seems to run much smoother and faster at loading, I've tried a bunch of games and haven't seen any loading errors even with mod caching enabled
>>1103136>minus the pax ren restrictionwe broke him boys>mod threadingthat completely broke my TTS. It wouldnt load anything. I turned it off and never had a problem with loading since.
>>1103138>we broke him boysDon't ignore the thing in parenthesis>mod threadingYep but I had issues with or without it, now I seem to load stuff just fine without, but I only tested in singleplayer, though I dont see why it would be any different in online
>>1103138>minus the pax ren restrictionThat means he's removing the restriction.LET'S REN BABY
>>1103146>>LET'S REN BABYwhat use is playing if he no longer hates it
>>1103136I'm free in 10 minutes then I have about 2 hours tops to play something.Reformatting helps a lot on loading, let's hope that lasts, mod threading hates some PCs just because, if you reformatted then I doubt any of the published solutions will help with that, very unfortunate.
>>1103136Well, room upsat/v/rday, rage
>>1103158We're playing a game of splendor duel while we wait for more people2/?
>>1103164Game finished! Come on lads, join for some gaymes
>>1103178im sorry anon. real life is being a bitch
Gotta go but I might return in about ~2 hours to host, give (You) if interested.
>>1099713How long does it take to get good at euros?
>>1101149Moving pieces for planning lads.Lobby: Strategy @ 4PM UTCPass: No password.Any game we play will be taught with a microphone, players do not need mics though. Our current lineup of games isBarbarians & Empires - 4 to 10 sirs.Fief France - for 5 to 6 players.Fleet Command - 4 or 6 lads.A War Machine - 3 to 6 homies.Goblin - 2 to 5 gobloids.COIN games - 4 chads.Azure Sky: DOTH - 3 chongers.Rise & Decline of The Third Reich - 2 to 4.Senjutsu - 2 to 4 and the only non-strategy game cause I feel like it.Lobby is open an hour early for joiners, questions and people who just wanna look at the games
>>1103204Any specific game doesn't need too much, a few hours to get a good understanding.Euros as a concept? I don't know, get good at analyzing game-states and learn some patterns and when to do certain things, like when to build engine and when to push for quick VP moves.Are we jotling today or not, by the way?
>>1103239JotL is getting delayed, sorryI'll open the room in 1.5 hours, maybe we can crush a scenario
>>1103234Ten minute rule is coming into effect. No interest so its over bro(s). Once again I will be trying this on Sunday tomorrow.
Hosting Gloomhaven but better but worseIt's 90 minutes off the mark for regular session time, one quick and easy scenario should be fine for today.Room: /vm/ jotlPass: rage
>>1103191I'm back, did everybody go to Gloomhaven or is any anon interested in some other game?
>>1103365Maybe after dinner but let's see if we can get at least one more guy onboard
>>1103374Sure, requesting more (You)sIn regards to what game, I have 3 letters you might be familiar with :^) Bus
>>1103379TI4?
>>1103403That's 2 letters and a number, nice try anon.
>>1103299We cleared the thingy.Smashed some tables, did a whopping 24 damage attack and had a shadow demon suicide itself on a spiked shield with 11 stab wounds.The police doesn't believe me on that last one.
>>1103420And the healer healed, always thank your healer or that poison (she put on you) might not go away.
>>1103239Been learning the euros on Board Game Arena and just want to get a decent ELO / MMR at one of them. Stone Age, Lost Ruins of Arnak, Viticulture, ect. Might learn Agricola or relearn Splendor or something.
>>1103452>playing board games competitivelyJust go to your local MtG/Games Workshop or whatever they play in your area
>>1103365>>1103379Nothing huh? Oh well.
>>1103526Why?
Updated the 3 Ring Circus mod again, sorry if that messes up with scripting.
>>1103204Eurogames are a genre, not a specific game, same as RTS or FPS. So the path of getting good at them depends on the specifics of the game. But generally they're about resource management and looking ahead/around, at what will or might happen in the future due to game RNG, and at your opponents to see where you can mess them up and where to beware being messed up.>>1103545Anon probably thinks games with big tournaments are the only ones you're allowed to be competitive in
>>1104151Not much point in being competitive in a context where others arent
>>1104161BGA has tournaments/ranked ladder mode for competitive minded players. Plus, most players want to win, and that makes most games competitive by nature of not letting everyone win.
>>1104209>most players want to winYes, but there is a nuance depending on how much you're invested in winningAlso doesnt BGA only have small, filler games available unless you pay a subscription fee?
>>1104230>Doesnt BGA only have small, filler games available unless you pay a subscription fee?That's mostly true. There's still a decent array of medium-heavy games without subscription if you're not too picky.I guarantee the subscription costs less than however much money you've spent on board games this year though.
Games please, games
>>1104268Sure, host and I'll join
>>1104278Uhh, sure.Any requests?
>>1104288Anything but not 1v1 games, get at least one more guy to join
>>1104292>get at least one more guyThat might actually be a more difficult request to fulfill than if you had meme-asked me to do TI4I'll pop open a room tho, let's play ____Room: /vm/ buhPass: rage

anyone wanna play some Start Trek Ascendancy at about this time, this upcoming friday? looking to do a mostly vanilla game with official factions
Anyone tried Brass: Lancashire and can tell me if it's better than Birmingham and in which ways?
>>1105197Just host both
>>1105225Theres one or two anons who are allergic to Brass and they're among the ones who join most games, if you can guarantee that you and at least one more guy will join, sure, I can host in.. 3 hours and 15 minutes approximately which is the time I get home from work
>>1105226Can't guarantee even myself, because I'm going to sleep
>>1105197From what I hear Lancashire is simpler and better for 2 players.
>>1105226I'm no longer sleeping, we can try Lancashite for 2 players
>>1105848Pretty sure anon is sleeping before going to work. Looks like both of you are in incompatible timezones.
>>1104366If you hosted like six hours later on Sunday I would join. Not this weekend though as its Turkey Week.
>>1105901I actually completely forgot about that when I said I would host it the next weekend. I can do 6 hours later the week after though.
>>1105907Okay, I will plan to be there!
>>1104312Next game is December 3rd on Sunday at 10PM UTC.I will probably try and host it the day before on Saturday too. Just like always I'll post an hour early and have the server up.
>>1105848Like >>1105884 said, I was asleep (you posted at 2 AM my time)I will be home in approximately 6 hours, if you're there at that time, we could try itI cannot look up the rulebook while im at work though (the wifi here is restrictive and theres no mobile data reception)
>>1101207I played Munchkin again.I prefer Isaac Four Souls, still would rather play something else. It's being sold sealed 2nd edition for 50 bucks
>>1106766Yea it's overpriced and overrated, way better games cost less than that
>>1106784There was this prototype I played a long time ago that combined these TCG-style card effects with tapping-untapping and screwing each other that was pretty fun. I think last time I saw the guy at an event he told me it's on the last steps of being published, I'll get it and import it when I see it, wish I could remember the name though
anyone up for four souls?
>>1107122Always.
>>1107125I've gotta do dishes so it'll be a few hours actually. Forgot I had to do that.
>>1107151Looks like it's been too long, I won't be able to join today. Shame.
>doing dishes for almost 5 hours
>>1107151Did you do the dishes or have the dishes done you?
>>1107314Anon eats a lot.
I can host P*x R*n or a mystery game that's great for 3 players, allegedly, in 10 minutes, give (You) for interest.
>>1107433>P*x R*nWhatever could it be
>dont have time to play but also want to join and demand P*x R*n
>>1107437Pix Run of course
>don't have time to play but also want to join and demand T*4
>>1107451
>>1107456Me. I have time for that. I have embraced the NEET life.
>>1107539Well why haven't you hosted it then?
>>1107606I was sleeping, I can host Ti4 now if people want, or Lancashire to test it out since anon never returned from work
>>1107787>never returned from workit's not that i didn't, i said i was returning in X hours and then nobody said anything, i'm not going to risk wasting what little hours of free time i have left hosting for nobody
>>1107451if you guys want i can host some TI4 this weekendbut the last 4 times i hosted that fucking thing nobody joined so i wont even bother unless you guys give me (you)'s this time
>>1107796Why would I say anything when I don't know if I'll be asleep or not. It's your fault for not making a second post when you got home. My offer to host it now still stands>>1107799>last 4 times>missed 4 TI4 hosts and didn't even see them in the thread
>>1107807uh well sure, I haven't read the rules though, so I don't know how different it is from birmingham
>>1107807Sorry about the delay, it's up/vm/ assrage
>>1107812I replied to myself by mistake
>>1107826Uhh okay gimme 10-15 mins i guess
It's shit
>>1107826very, very close game>>1107921nah come on it wasn't bad, just not as good as birmingham
>>1107924>Losing by 1 pointIs there any worse feeling?
I'm up to play four souls for the next few hours. Apologies for yesterday not working out. I do have to get my laundry from downstairs in about an hour though, but that should take 5 minutes.
>>1108008ok
>>1108014alright what time were you thinking?
>>1108015I dunno, whenever there's enough people.
>>1108008How many dishes did you end up washing?
>>1108020a lot
>>1108017ok
Anyone want to try pic relateD?
>>1108090what is it?
>>1108090Right now?
>>1108090>>1108104>>1108108looked it up since the person ghosted us. it's a deck building game so I'm up for it.
>>1108117Watched a how to play, looks extremely simple. Unfortunately I'll have to be reasonable for once and go to bed rather than play.
>>1108128ok have a good night
I looked up how to play and can indeed confirm it looks simplistic, and therefore shit
>>1108008I'm once again available to join, if we can get people (and if you haven't been eaten by your laundry yet).
>>1108090Too many black people
>>1108166>I only play Pax and other complex games like the enlightened individual I am>>1108175Now this is a real reason not to play.
>>1108173Laundry is all done.
>>1108173>>1108187also if we can't get other people we could always just do one of the challenges
>>1108185I actually hate Pax in particular, try again
>>1107992>worse feeling? Yep, losing by one coin, that's even less than 1 point, since 10 leftover coins are 1 pointThen you'd have tiebroken with your income
>>1108378Bruh forgot to separate the green text
>>1108090I tried it, and it's utter garbage, nobody at the boardgame club i go to likes it, we all wonder why it won spiel des jahresIt's braindead simple and rng-intensive, to the point you have almost no agency
>>1108398It won Kennerspiel actually, which is "Spieltypically recognizes the best games for the entire family, Kennerspiel is more for gamers looking for games which present more of a challenge." to quote bgg.>why it wonGermany has fallen
>>1108418>Germany has fallenThat's what caused Eurogames
>>1108398To add onto this, other games that won the prestigious pro-gamer award include Wingspan and 7 Wonders, so I think german reputation for board game autism doesn't extend to their juries
>>1108426Never tried Wingspan, but at least 7W isn't entirely retarded and rngAlthough I believe IaWW is miles better
>>1108451>IaWWMiles better than 7W, sure, but it's still shit
>>1108478you think every game is shit, don't you?
>>1108552Yeah he's the grumpy anon
>>1108552Only the bad ones
>>1108552>>1108553No wonder they don't host, nobody would join their lobby anyways.
>>1108104>>1108108Sorry, we can play in 11 hours?
Cam anyone rec me solo games that i can play alone?
>>1108798No. Play with me.
Quick reminder: JotL tomorrow at 16:00 UTC (~21.5 hours from now)
>>1108605I should be free to play. Looked up some gameplay and it does indeed look like a pretty bad game, but I can try it once anyways.If anybody would like to play something right now give me a (You)
>>1109104Is pretty bad game the only option
>>1109104Seriously, it's a garbage game, you're not missing out on anything, just host whatever other game comes into mind. oh and dont count me in, i'm about to go to sleep, i only replied to reinforce the fact that it's a shit game (and im not grumpy anon so you can trust me)
>>1108605are you still open to play? its about 1 hour after
I'm starting to think the four souls host is an inside joke
>>1109220>>1109314I meant to host something else while I waited for anon to host pretty bad game™ but ended up doing something else, and seems to be that the anon didn't show up anyways lol

Wenn mehrere Spieler in einem Land die meisten Raete besitzen, so haben sie alle die Mehrheit.>Besitzt ein Spieler eine Raetemehrheit in einem Land, kann er natuerlich in mehreren Buendnissen Punkte gewinnen, sofern er in den entsprechenden verbuendeten Laendern ebenfalls Raetemehrheiten besitzt.>Besitzt ein Spieler die Mehrheit der Raete in beiden verbuendeten Laendern, so erhaelt er fuer jeden Rat dieser beiden Laender (egal welcher Farbe) jeweils einen Punkt. Erfuellen mehrere Spieler diese Voraussetzung, so erhaelt jeder von ihnen die volle Punktzahl. Die uebrigen Spieler erhalten fuer Buendnisse niemals Punkte.It's vacuously true that each player has the majority of 0 advisors so scoring the alliances with Italy should be correct (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuous_truth).It's also vacuously true that each player does not have the majority among 0 advisors, but the rules only speak to the case of having an advisor majority so simultaneously not having a majority is irrelevant.
>>1110008So how was it? And how were the turns? sequential or simultaneous?
>>1110008We're playing Sekigahara: Unification of Japan btw>>1110041Lol, thanks for the research, I think I like 0 being considered a majority tie because it brings more strategy about it, you could let it be empty at the risk of being very easy to steal or every player could benefit from it so it's a pretty neat mechanic, intentional or not, though I feel like that's the way it's intended to be played, hell, I bet Germans love Vacuous cases lol.>>1110046>And how were the turns? sequential or simultaneous?I played it sequential since most cases were written like that, and it worked quite well. Game is pretty fun, the luck of the card draw with the face up cards to diminish the luck of the draw is pretty good, the back and forth with blocking and fighting for majority is very nice as well. I wasn't sure about placing so many advisors at the start and losing points on mid scoring (a player even noted me doing that being senseless, and I beat him lol) thanks to the scoring mechanics was pretty good. For a 1999 game it sure is something cool and feels very modern, it will probably be my next PnP project.
>>1110046Turns are sequential. A random player goes first and turn order is clockwise seating order.The player who went first is marked because one of the requirements for the game to end is that every player has had the same number of turns.It doesn't come up much because players usually players can agree to shortcut to the ending once everyone has run out of useful moves.It's also worth mentioning that mid-game scoring does not require each player to have taken the same number of turns.
>>1110105Ieyasu Tokugawa gets pressured by the Toki-no-Kami and is forced into a losing bloodbath by the hands of Ishida Mitsunari, who almost died at the very start of the game but decided to leave the battle to his lackeys and stay at his comfy stolen castle in Anotsu.GG and WP, thanks everybody for joining and I hope to see you lads soon.
>>1109995It's done, the blood clots have been popped and the quest is complete.If anyone says we haven't really finished it properly, they are lying.
>>1110152It wouldn't be a Gloomhaven host if the players didn't cheat
>>1109808Tried pulling people from random lobbies, didn't get enough players againStar Trek continues tomorrow, a few hours from when it was hosted first today, hopefully thats enough of a middle ground
>>1110158Maybe a /v/eekend thread could help you gather more people. Sometimes /v/ can surprise you.
Not even the sequel/retheme has an answer to the 0 question, which makes me think 0 is indeed a "shared majority" because of the insistence of not making that clear lol. Then again, they do make it clear that to score the Monasteries during the region scoring you DO need at least 1 monastery in there.
>>1110116>It doesn't come up much because players usually players can agree to shortcut to the ending once everyone has run out of useful moves.On that note https://i.4cdn.org/vm/1700847963032317.jpg is crazy now that I'm looking at it.Red has 5 monasteries and 2 advisors left. Pink has 8 monasteries and 1 advisor left. Purple has 6 monasteries left. Tons of points are up for grabs.(first + is to the player in question, further +/-s are to other players)Red benefits from placing monasteries in England* (+1/+1), Frankreich (+3/+1), Aragon* (+1/+1), Italien (varies), Burgund (+2/+1/+1), and Bayern* (varies).Pink benefits from placing monasteries in Lothringen (+1/+1), Frankreich* (+1/+1), Aragon (+3/+1), Italien (varies), Burgund* (+1/-1), and Bayern (varies).Purple benefits from placing monasteries England (+3/+1), Lothringen (+3/+1), Frankreich (+4/+1), Italien (varies), Burgund* (+1/-1), and Bayern (varies).>ItalienThe player before Purple in turn order can get 4 points and purple can get 2 points.That's the only outcome that isn't detrimental to the player who initiates things.>BayernRed can take 2 points.The player before Red in turn order can get 5 points and give Red 1 point.The player after Red in turn order can take 4 points and give Red 2 points (if the cards are right).The player after Red in turn order can take 4 points, give the player after Red 4 points, and give Red 2 points.Advisors are a messy because some moves (*) open spaces for advisors.Red wants two advsiors in Schwaben, Pink wnats 1 advisor in Schwaben to keep Red away.If Red takes Schwaben, then Pink takes Frankreich, Burgund, or Italien (in that order of preference).If Pink takes Schwaben, then Red takes Burgund and Lothringen, Burgund and Italien, Lothringen and England, or Bayern and Italien (in that order of preference).99 cards were played but only 62 pieces. Did you guys miss that you can play 2 pieces per turn?
>>1110205Everything was played correctly, we just had some crappy hands/turns and tunnel vision
>>1110205>Pink [...] Lothringen (+1/+1),>Purple [...] Italien (varies),That's are * but the Italien one doesn't matter.Here's the breakdown on opening things:Opening spaces in England or Aragon doesn't matter (there are better places for advisors).Opening spaces in Italien or Bayern doesn't mater either (they have plenty of room).>If Red takes Schwaben, Pink wants to open Frankreich and Burgund. Pink opening Lothringen doesn't matter.Purple doesn't want Burgund should open it themselves (Pink opening it is worse).>If Pink takes Schwaben,Pink doesn't want to open Burgund or Lothringen. Pink opening Frankreich doesn't matter.Purple doesn't want to open Burgund either.
>>1110222>some crappy hands/turns and tunnel visionYour hands only seemed crappy because of the tunnel vision.

Pax Ren any1?
>>1113239Holy shit we're fucked>>1113332If the offer still stands 10 hours later, sure, just hit me up, i'm at work doing (almost) nothing for the next 6 hours
>>1113239Ever tried Caverna?
>>1113697Sure Lobby: /v/oard gamesPass: rage>>1113700I haven't played it but I've heard a lot about it, funnily enough the only things I've heard about it are "Agricola/AFFO are just plain better" lol. I'm down to try it anyways.
>>1113700>>1113792from what little I played both caverna is easier to pick up, but agricola has more lasting power. Which is why most "play a game once, then praise it for money" reviewers recommend caverna while worker placement fags prefer agricola.
>>11137922/4
>>1113799>playing pax at 4
>>1113792>>1113799And off we go after some technical difficulties
>playing pax at all
>>1113815Look at that beautiful reformist north.
>>1113822At least you have some cool shit happening. I played it IRL recently.>first cards are all non-attack cards, so the game is stuck with people buying cards and running tradefairs, further reinforcing the states no one can take>one guy gets a queen, campaigns and then wins on empire victorygame 3>guy gets a bunch of ship prestiges and a few concessions>since he gets all the money he can buy the pirate to murder the remaining concessions and get an easy globalisation victorySometimes it feels like the decks just cannot do anything
>>1113834No attacks cards are very unlikely lol, but a reinforced map means Religious Wars can become really easy to win since adjacent knights would participate, was the campaigner paying for each knight ever campaign? Would probably run out of money soon. Also what about Vote Ops? That's a nifty way to get some kingdoms from a player's tableauOn the second case it's more of a seeing the future kind of thing, need to block opportunities to avoid people from getting a big engine going.
>>1113822>>1113815Phew! What a game! Despite yellow controlling basically everything green manages to be the most prestigious in the Supreme Religion! GG!Lobby remains open with 2 players, come join, we're gonna check another game.
>>1113864Lobby closed due to unforeseen circumstances, thanks for joining and GG!
>>1113845There were peasant revolts with a single agent, and they were spread around different kingdoms so its not like you could do a one-two-punch. Apart from that you had apostasy and reformatoins (with no red knights to speak of) etc. It didnt help that people immediately popped west trade routes to basically max out every kingdom. That+early comet basically nailed the game shut.>vote opsonly works against independent kingdoms, and there was only one kingdom+subject.The only mistake I can think of is that green didnt take england in his first turn (he took a peasant revolt so his concession couldve helped in the fight) in favor of buying 2 cards. Then the trade fair happened and he couldnt take england anymore. After that the market was really poor.I think the 3rd game couldve been played better, but it was a 2p game and one could get a marriage to ottoman as starting move. If one can take most of the money he can snipe important cards and if the game gives a single ship+a ton of concessions its hard to fight back. Even if the trade victory was blocked the map was still heavily tilted in one's favor
>>1113864Not gonna lie, I went tunnel vision hard (not being comfortably at home didnt help) and the opening for sneaky victories like that one went completely over my headBut gotta say that things like this happening because the comet came out at the wrong time are kinda frustratingGG still, but I wanna try other paxes and we still havent done that, let's check out pax viking or the new pax illuminatem next time aye? (not today, enough pax for a day, lets try agricola if there's other anons interested)
>>1113884I see, that's a pretty interesting deck, when I play IRL I make sure I shuffle the fuck out of those decks because it has so many cards lol, you don't see many at 2p either, now I WANT to see a really bad deck in one of my plays and see how can I go about it.>>1113906Yeah what I did was very sneaky but it was an all-in that without that tunnel vision it might not have worked, all I did the last 2 turns before winning was just selling cards in hopes of getting the comet to show up. And actually it would have been pretty easy to block me since I had moved the single Red Bishop to your side of your tableau, meaning you could have just sold England and its vassals to get rid of the Religious Supremacy, of course that's not immediately apparent and for a lot of people that's a tall order to do because you'd be losing plenty of empire squares, but you had a very strong position so I think it was more than worth it. That's the thing about Pax Ren and what makes it so good.In any case, as anon said, let's play Agricola since we talked about it after the AFFO game. Will host in approximately 2 hours, give (You) for interest, this dude's video is pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWuUuxbMDB0 if you wanna prepare beforehand.
>>1113916>I see, that's a pretty interesting deck, when I play IRL I make sure I shuffle the fuck out of those decks because it has so many cards lol, you don't see many at 2p either, now I WANT to see a really bad deck in one of my plays and see how can I go about it.I shuffle pretty well and then I alternate between tossing cards aside and adding them to the playing deck. With 2p the comet can come early and if you keep churning one deck (since the other has shit cards and you arent on the east trade route) you can just end up losing to a victory condition before you can find anything useful.
>>1113916The irony of posting this image when every game hosted is an euro
>>1114063Starting with 3 players!>>1114088Very observant, anon.
>>1114063And game ends with a Blue victory! No need to post the other scores haha!
up for four souls tonight if anyone else is
>>1114589Not my cup of tea but fuck it, count me in if you get another anon.
>>1114656ok. we probably won't though. will let you know.
>>1114659Can probably play anything in an hour if the offer still stands
Sekigahara anon, I'm ready for another match
>>1115044Nice! I was just fixing some things on my Workshop mod too. I gotta finish a couple errands on my end first, it'll take me like 2 hours I think, is that fine with you?
>>1115083yes i have all day
>>1115083I never kept up with seki, did any anon fix the script to prevent cheating?
>>1115107I did. Had to steal code from several of the now defunct workshops and Frankenstein'd a mod of my own, now there's a screen that blocks the opponent from seeing your blocks until he chooses to reveal them.I also added Snap points on request of players BUT there is a way these could be use to cheat. Of course nobody here cheats so it won't be a problem, but still I'd like a way to avoid it, but this is due to the game's internal mechanics and I doubt it could be really fixed. works pretty great.If you wanna play while I'm out, here's the link to my save: https://litter.catbox.moe/h6nn7t.zip
>Of course nobody here cheats
>>1115126>implying you cheatsad
Repent and confess your sins, anonymous posters. Have you ever cheated in a board game? And I mean on purpose, we all make mistakes when playing a game, but have you done an underhanded thing with complete intent, succumbing to evil?
cheating in a casual match sounds stupid frfr
>>1115135Only a couple times and for minor things such as being a mere 1 coin short from buying something but it was in games where it wouldnt have made a difference in the grand scheme of things. The times i remember "willingly miscounting" currency were games where I lost anyways
Cheating in general is stupid cuz it fucks up the statisticsAnyways, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKMw2it8dQYCome on in anon >>1115044 and anybody else who would like to learn/play/watchLobby: /v/oard gamesPass: rage
>>1115135Yes, multiple times in multiple games
>>1115187Game has begun.>>1115189Shame on you, anon.
Worst clan ever
>>1115189Which games do you cheat in the most?
>>1115194And the game is over with a victory for Ishida Mitsunari then again! First weeks were steady and low on combat as the armies got larger an started taking key locations for resources, fortunately the Ishida player managed to grab some castles and have more cards available for the starting feuds giving them an edge and making the Red Devils escape and eventually die. Meanwhile on the other side of the map the leader of the Tokugawa clan almost gets killed but Uesugi did NOT want to cooperate and eventually failed at doing any damage to the opposing forces.This war of attrition ended up in a count for victory points with the Ishida Clan coming up victorious thanks to the 3 castles they took away from Tokugawa. Good game and well played!
>>1115364No wonder I wasn't getting any Uesugi blocks, they were all out since the start of the game lol
>>1115135 i always add 1 point to my end point totals and hope nobody noticesit hasn't mattered yet
>>1114897sorry was asleep. up for four souls later tonight if anyone wants to play.
>>1115135Cheated on Spirit Island it was my third game and was showing to my friends who started doing bg nightss this year with me.After 4 hours playing i realized we will lost, and started to do miniplays just to win with then.I don't remenber my spirit but it was something that give energy and elenents to allies.They wanted to play again some months later, if we lost i don't think they would wsnt to play again.It was difficult 0.Nowadays i can beat alone difficult 10-13 easily with any spurit or enemie.

>>1116600It's a pretty neat Euro. There's a lot in there for such a small box. Have you looked into the expansion?
>>1116667I only just played it for the first time tonight because i also bought pax ren and i played that a few times during the last few boardgame nights so people would remember the rules explanation from the previous week
>>1116616Sekigahara and android netrunner don't look very retard-proofy, along with the spoilered oneI kinda want to buy pax pamir but it's fucking expensive
>>1116674Another one joins the Eklundian cult!>>1116675NTA but Sekigahara is actually really easy to learn and play, Netrunner is a CCG so the complexity comes from the cards (and how fucking hard is to get them because the game is OoP). If you're interested in Pax Pamir, it's basically Pax Ren but simpler, it's also really good but idk if it's as good at 2 players like Ren is.If you wanna try games you're always welcome to host/join us here lad.
>>1116705>>Another one joins the Eklundian cult!I liked the part where he started quoting ayn rand in the footnotes. I honestly have no idea why they decided to go on a libertarian rant in a game manual.Ive already played it 7 times.
souls... four of them?I've only played once but wanted to again, saw some people asking to play a couple days ago but I didn't join.
>>1116711Yeah lol, dude goes wild in those, you can trim like 5 pages of the manual without those, I haven't even read them all. I have only 29 recorded plays but I think it's closer to like 40 now, did your group like it?
>>1116971Why do you guys keep specifically asking for that game, it's not even that good a game...
>>1117102instead of trimming I rather have him add some pages to make the manual more readable. >I haven't even read them allthey're okay. But I have no idea why you would try something like making this statement in footnotes of a game manual. Like, first of all you are very limited by the fact you have to follow the order of things the game manual dictates to you. You cant make footnotes too long. And its less readable as the notes are broken up by normal text instead of it being all connected. It doesnt help that he seemed to have cited like 3 authors tops. I dont mind the libertarian rant but this format is terrible. It wouldve been a lot better if he just put 3 pages of theory and historicity of the game mechanics in the back of the manual instead of via footnotes.>did your group like it?think so. It can make you feel powerless if you get off on the wrong foot and everyone is just murdering your concessions and taking away your powerbase, and there are no market cards to quickly get back into the game. But one game evolved into a nice back and forth which I think appealed to them.

>>1120635none of those are fun
>>1120635Im up for it, get one more guy>>1120648the list covers alot, it just doesnt cover the more autistic games, but you could suggest instead of dismissing everything
>>1120651Okay, hosting fun games in an hour
>>1120648>el grande is not fungas yourself
>>1120651I'm down to play.
Room open, les playRoom name: /vm/ fun gamesPass: rage
>>1120685Come join us then
>>11207012/?, maybe we do the funny circus gamepinging >>1120685
>>11207173/4 starting in 5 minutes
>>1120648based
>>1120717funny circus game is completed with Red winning by 2 hairsnext.. Clank!
>>1120826..aand done. we clanked itPlaying Terraforming Mars right now - 3/5Join us, it's fun and easy I swear!
>>1120053Had something important come up so I didnt put this up early. Putting server up now though.Lobby: Strategy @ 10PM UTCPass: No password.Any game we play will be taught with a microphone, players do not need mics though. Our current lineup of games isBarbarians & Empires - 4 to 10 sirs.Fief France - for 5 to 6 players.Fleet Command - 4 or 6 lads.A War Machine - 3 to 6 homies.Goblin - 2 to 5 gobloids.COIN games - 4 chads.Azure Sky: DOTH - 3 chongers.Rise & Decline of The Third Reich - 2 to 4.Senjutsu - 2 to 4 and the only non-strategy game cause I feel like it.
>>1120969No homies detected after ten minutes.Im bringing it down.
>>1120879Look at it, is beautifulMars was terraformed (and nuked a little bit) with 88 for Blue, 87 for Yellow and 77 for Red.
>>1121075GGs. Not my cup of tea but I'll play it again if you ever need an extra player. Thanks for hosting!
>>1120826>>1121077>>1121075Close games anons!
>>1121075Oh, here's the "stable" save file for the TFM mod:https://files.catbox.moe/yu6iqq.jsonThought it would be good to post it, lest it gets forever lost.
Can I use this to play the Resident Evil card game? I always wanted to play it so bad as a kid and now it's all insanely overpriced collector shit.
>>1121907Sure can (assuming the image files are still alive, this was the most up to date one I could find).https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=280629106
>>1121912Holy based, buying tabletop sim now then.
>>1121914Get used to the controls and host it here, bet you'll find people to play it with (me for example), never had heard of it before, just the board game, how does it work?
>>1121929Basically you pick your favorite RE character and they all have "modifiers" that determine how much you draw/what happens when you play cards. Then you "explore" the setting by drawing cards that can be weapons/resources/etc and eventually encounter enemies and kill them with your items/cards to earn victory points. It's basically a deck building game but not super autistic. Fun and easy.
do games even ever happen here? or does everyone just talk about playing games?
>>1122101There are 87 posters and 8 of them play games.
>>1122101What do you want to play? Don't say Four Souls.
>>1122101Host some bitch boy.
>>1122101Not at that hour, no
>>1122101>3:30 am>huh, where are the hostings
>>1122372>he isn't a NEET>>1122108That's a good point, even if you take dynamic IP into account there's a lot more posters than players
>>1122385>>That's a good point, even if you take dynamic IP into account there's a lot more posters than playersI just sit here and complain about no hosts every day while I refuse to host myself and never join a host
>>1122108Off the top of my head I can come up with 10 different anons including myself (no im not counting my alternate personalities trust me). And while my ip is always the same on PC, on phone I getva different one everytime, to the point I dont see (you)s on my previous phoneposts repliesAll this to say that you guys are probably exaggerating a little, the non-player posters are probably a ratio of 1:2 which isnt too bad
>>1122401Sorry I meant 1:1 ratio
Games?
>>1122413yes
You wanted variety? I give you variety, Pax Varietas. The new ones I learned on request are Pax Viking, summary here >>1119666 and Pax Porfiriana, a card game about the 1910 Mexican Revolution, still learning the finer details on this one but won't be a problem.Gimme a (You) if interested, need at least 3 people for either game, 4 would be ideal.
>>1122498Here's a good video about Porf btwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43kJa53g_pY
>>1122498I'm interested about all of these paxesDid you take a look at Illuminatem too?I'm home in about... 2 hours and a half I guess, or less
>>1122511>Did you take a look at Illuminatem too?Not yet, yesterday I flipped a coin to choose to learn either it or Porfiriana, and Porfiriana won. I was more interested in Porf anyways because it was also designed by the Eklunds.I must say it looks very interesting, since we've played Ren and some of you have played Pamir, this one shouldn't be too hard to grok.
idk if its just me but tabletop simulator just feels unpleasant to use in generallike I load a new mod and in takes ages to load everything and I sometimes get a bunch of error in bright red that I can't get rid of, and also this might just be my pc but I feel the text and images look kind of blurry or distorted at certain distances. I hope someone comes up with something better eventually
>>1123019Is just for broken old mods.Also imgur killed everything without account, lot of mods are broken because of this.
>>1123019There are countless reasons for these, first being that the mod is propably just broken.Errors indicate either missing files, usually images with a dead source. And sometimes it's because you live in a place that has blocked the imagehoster.Blurry and distorted images are par for the course since most images are scanned in with whatever the modmaker had on hand. Or you just have the resolution set low.Just loading a couple obscure mods doesn't really tell you if the issues are with you or the mods, you sometimes gotta hunt through a bunch of them and then realize they all used the same images that are now gone for good.
>>1122372I have literally shown up here every hour and the thread has always been dead. It seems to only be alive right whenever I choose to log off.
>>1123290I dunno what to tell you, I play games with anons (albeit most of the time it's with the same 2-3 anons) about twice or thrice a weekNot everyone here is a neet or insomniac, try making a post saying that you want to host/join games in at least a vague time window in advance and see if theres any interest, dont expect replies right awaySpeaking of which, I have day off tomorrow and friday too, might host something
>>1123019>I hope someone comes up with something better eventuallyYou have no idea how much ive hoping for this since forever, for different issues (mostly Unity bullshit) but it's a niche hobby, likely will never happen
>>1123290Staying up for 60h can't be healthy for you anon, please go to sleep so we can play some board games
>>1123349Tabletop Playground was the ' something better' but the idiots decided to host mods in a proprietary third party site rather than the workshop.
>>1123290People in >>1120701 were playing for 7 hours straight. As the other anon said, of you want to play some games, host them
>>1123019>I hope someone comes up with something better eventuallyKDS soon, trust the plan
>>1122498(You) me for games. Doesn't have to be a Pax game but I've yet to try these 2 so they are priority in my to-play list.
Anything that isn't Pax?
>>1123382I wanted to host a couple of light, short games later today and then whoever wins picks the next game we playNamely CartographersThere's a teeny tiny catch to this, but don't worry about it
>>1123384Dont think I can join remotely today, I'll be there in 3 hours and a half
>>1123382As I said here, I doesn't have to be a Pax game.>>1123384>CartographersI learned that game long ago and totally forgot I wanted to host it, now I forgot the rules but they are really simple. Same thing with Lords of Vegas actually.
>>1123382why would you want that?
>>1123452Based Pax enjoyer
>>1123370(You)Ill be available in about an hour, probably less than that
>>1123465Neat, as I mentioned earlier, we'll need at the very least 3 to play one of the new Pax games. I'm editing the playspace of the Porfiriana mod in the meantime cuz it is way too little for cards.
anyone want to play a game? dune imperium, something something pamir, challengers?
>>1123479Finishing preparations, will open a lobby in about 20 minutes
>>1123485>challengersholy shit why would you even entertain the thought of suggesting that unironic garbage gamejust join us in the pax lobby, you mentioned pamir so you probably won't dislike the other paxes
>>1123511cool which pax? i need to watch a video.
>>1123479Lobby: /v/oard gamesPass: rage>>1123511Porfiriana is a lot like Pamir 1e from what I hear as well.>>1123514Looks like we'll be playing either Porfiriana or Viking, siding more with Porf, the tutorial here >>1122506 is really good, the game isn't as complicated as it looks.
>>11235153 people in lobby
>>1123511>why would you even entertain the thought of suggesting that unironic garbage gamejust join us in the unironic garbage game lobby
>>1123515starting in 15 minutes, teaching now.
>>1123530Begun with 4 players!
>>1123568It's over! Bernardo Reyes wins by revolting against Presidente Díaz!GGs to everyone, what did you think of it? There is a lot to unpack and the cards are very hard to read from an aesthetic PoV, but I enjoyed it very much. There are still some edge cases I'm not so sure about if we played correctly (I avoided playing some cards just because I wasn't sure how to proceeed lol), but i'll get clear on those and definitely host it again sometime if there's demand for it. UNtil next time!
Since no wants to play challengers, how about tricktakers? i'm learning how to play and seems cool.
>>1123930I'm down to play this and Challengers despite it being bad lol. I'll be free in about 20 ish minutes?
>>1123958Tricktakers would need +2 players to be played well and me understand the game.i'm really bad at learning games sry.
>>1123961No worries pal, if we end up just being us 2, we could play some Sekigahara.
>>1123962sure we could try learning some stuff, together sry i'm not really up to learning something complicated like sekigahara today.
>>1123958>>1123930I'll play either
>>1123930>>1123987Neat, that makes 3 of us, ready whenever.>sry i'm not really up to learning something complicated like sekigahara todayWhat's cool about Seki is how simple it is, but no worries, we can play it another time.
>>1123994open the room buddy.
>>1124015done, currently 2 players in
>>1123361I've tried
>>1124016We truly were.... The shalomgers.
>>1124045Playing Furyiffers now, I mean, TRICKTAKERs3/?
>>1124050Game's over and lobby is closed! thanks everybody for joining, till next time!
>>1124101GAMBULU
>>1124050Admit, you liked.
>>1124107I think this girl left a bad taste in my mouth with her wincon, but maybe we foolishly made it easy. I'll definitely give it a couple more tries before deciding I don't like it.
So did you guys actually play the shit game and experience firsthand how shitty it is or not?Also anyone up for anything in a couple hours?
>>1124254>So did you guys actually play the shit game and experience firsthand how shitty it is or not?Yes, there's a Pax lobby every few days
>>1124254>Also anyone up for anything in a couple hours?Yeah, I'm up
>>1124261>pax badshit taste detectedI obviously meant challengers
>>1124254Yeah, it was an absolute nothing of a game, at least it was short lol. Disappointed my excessive amount of fans by losing on the finals ;_;Not sure if I'll be available in a couple hours but if I am count me in, we still have Pax Viking (and illuminatem) left to explore but I also want to try Rajas of the Ganges again, and if you have one of those games I know and want me to teach 'em I'm up for that as well.
>>1124277>pax goodRetard detected
>>1124104>Nutbladderi miss fandubs
>>1124286>if you have one of those games I know and want me to teachWell I'd like to try terra mystica / project gaia, or caverna, or underwater citiesBut im up to try rajas too
Still thinking about tricktakers, this game is good.
>>1124302>terra mysticaLast civ clone we played was rather shite, so count me in for another one>gaiaAlso interested, but I'd have to refresh myself on the rulesIf the host doesn't overlap WORLD PREMIERE you can count me in
>>1124254>>1124272>>1124313Opening in... lets say 30 minsWe can decide what to play ince in the lobby, doesnt necessarily have to be one of the games i mentioned>>1124286You in?
>>1124326Room upth/v/rsday, rageYou know, i also wouldn't mind playing GWT or Concordia again
>>1124336We're starting Concordia with the Salsa expansion in the Byzantium map with 3 players
>>1124353GG WP.I confused yellow and red. so Red wins!
>>1124458damn, yellow/red raped everyone
>>1124458Could've waited for me to finish correcting the score, now it looks like I can't countSuch lack of respect towards fellow players
>>1124468lol what a fool LOL>>1124464If a card has the player's name on it there's nothing you can do against their impending victory.
the jotling in 2.5 hours
For the statistics anonFire in the Lake finishes after NVA/VC suffers critical morale loss (player capitulation). The campaign lasted 20.5 cards and hasn't seen a single AirstrikeAnother campaign around this time next week is planned, mainly to figure out if US will steamroll the game again
Hosting Jaws of the Lion! Now with an original soundtrack.Hey, remember the sewer mission, with the switch and sniper oozes and toilet snakes? Yeah, we're going deeper in.Room: /vm/ jotlPass: rage
>>1125271Oh, if anyone asks, we didn't fail
That looks more presentable. If anybody's up for some games in a couple hours hmu with a (You)
>>1125557played pax pamir yesterday, learning porfiriana really helped understand pamir.And i think pamir is a great evolution, the card design really help to understand the flow of the game.
Any games happening today?
>>1126125Great Western Trail with the Rails to the North expansion.>>1125608That's great to hear lad. I haven't played Pamir yet but I did hear it evolved from Porfiriana. Have you tried Renaissance?
>>1126125no
>>1126131What? When? Im not home for probably the next 5-6 hours or so
>>1126146>What? When?Was thinking of hosting in 1 hour or so. I still need to be paid the (You) tax though, would like to have 4 players
>>1126157Ah well too bad, ill miss it
I refreshed myself on Project Gaia rules if anyone still cares about that
>>1126178Maybe not. I didn't get (You)s, JoTL will start up soon, and I have to leave for a couple hours in a bit so when I come back maybe we get a quorum.
jotling after i poop (25 minutes)
>>1126247Eat some fiber
>>1126247I'll run a few minutes late, please wait kudasai.
>>1126247Hosting Jaws of the Lion! Let's not unwin this time.So there's the scenario with the super tight spaces again and/or the voidwarden's character arc closer. Hmm, hmm.Lobby name: /vm/ jotl Pass: rage
how do you learn a game that requires multiple people to play? do you guys really just get it from reading the rules or something? I'm afraid of playing with anons here and being a retard because I don't understand the game completely because I have no friends in real life that will play shitty board games with me
>>1126287>how do you learn a game that requires multiple people to play?Usually I'll just setup the game and play against myself, controlling 2+ players, it's a great way to learn the game because you can force yourself to do different strategies for each of your "players" and figure out edge cases and most importantly, understand how to win.>do you guys really just get it from reading the rules or something?Some games are super easy so you can understand them completely just from reading the manual yeah. I've played enough games now that I can do it for more complex games; there's always a how to play video that demonstrates the game for you as well.>I'm afraid of playing with anons here and being a retardWorry not my friend, we're all retards here. Feel free to join whatever lobby that's posted here and the host will gladly teach ya.
>>1126287Read the rules and acquire the arcane knowledge required to play the game, it's literally that easy.
>>1126157Alright, im home a bit earlier than anticipated, so if there's any game count me in
>>1126323Left home a couple minutes ago lol. I don't think I'll be home for another 2 or 3 hours. This anon >>1126223 refreshed himself on Gaia Project so he could teach ya instead of me. I'll host when I get back
>>1126287Define "learn"If it's just knowing how to play, which moves are allowed and which are illegal according to the rules, then just seeing the rulebook and the setup game is enough. Though if you're gonna be teaching, at least play the game yourself multihanded so you know how things interact.If you mean knowing all the strategies needed to be competitive in the game then all I'll say is figuring that out is the fun part of board games. Besides, most players here are very not competitive and a lot of games get hosted once and then never again. So you have nothing to worry about on this front
>>1126401>Though if you're gonna be teaching, at least play the game yourself multihanded so you know how things interactI refuse, everyone figuring things out as we go is fun and you retards don't do it often enough
>>1126443>everyone figuring things out as we go is fun and you retards don't do it often enoughYou would need too many things to happen all at once for that to ever be a thing here>Host finding a game he's so interested in he just needs to host it right away>Anons willing to join said host at the time the lobby opens>Patience
>>1126471>anons willing to join a gameAnd that's why it will never happen
>>1126258Look at that, success!We sewer dived further down, killed some funny eldritch monsters and found neat loot; 'twas fun.Oh, we also stopped chaos demons and the Void from devouring time, space and all that we hold dear, but that's neither here nor there..
Any late-night games?
>>1126491Depends, are you hosting
>>1126491I dunno but I'm in if anyone hostsGet 2 more>>11264961 more i guess
Lobby: /v/oard gamesPass: rageGreat Western Trail + Rails to the NorthPax Porfiriana/RenaissanceRajas of the Ganges????? ?? ??? ????
>>11265024 anons in, at least 3 playing, starting soon
>>11265263 players in! Hurry up if you want a spot! Looking at (You), anonymous.
>>1126443I was mostly talking about those times when two effects clash and the whole server takes 30 minutes to figure out which takes priority, if any. This shit really grinds my gears, and when i join I expect the host to know what's going on.
>>1126536If you can't figure it out in 5 minutes just make up rules on the spot about which takes precedence and check after a game, host issue
>>1126527I would love to play some GWT but it's too late, I need my sleep, anon. Please.Best of luck with the cow wrangling.
>>1126502Final call for GWT! Come now don't be scared, game is super easy!>>1126544No worries lad, we'll play together next time.
>>1126563>game is super easy!yeah but is it fun
>>1126571Yeah it is, starting in 2 minutes!
>>1126574And so the game ends with Train strat beating Builder that would have won by 10 points if he had gotten 7 more cash, but that was impossible really. and the balanced strat.GG WP!
We also played Cartographers! fucking gobbos cucked me in the end.
anyone up for something?
>>1127018yesin like 30 minutes
