Describe your favourite and least favourite board game in one sentence

Ideally without mentioning its name, I'll start

  • unspoken cooperation playing cards to survive in space (or underwater)
  • tax simulator but you're trying to make the red planet liveable

Cars jockeying for position as they run laps, hoping they don't crash

Fuck your sheep, wood, grain and roads, I hate this island and want to leave

Crazy Karts and Catan?

Hawke@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 100d (1 reply)

That first one sounds like every racing game ever, so I’ll guess a good one: Rallyman GT?

ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 100d

Bingo!

I couldn't find a way of distinguishing it from other racing games without giving it away, but personally, I love Rallyman GT but don't so much love other racing games, because the positioning and how it impacts you and other players is much more important in Rallyman

I would guess Heat and Catan (Heat would deserve the praise ahah)

ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 98d

Rallyman GT. I like the PvP element of Rallyman more than Heat or Formula D.

Formula D

Agreed on your second. Why do so many people like it?

ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 100d

Formula D

Rallyman GT. I enjoy it much much more than Formula D. Formula D didn't have enough crunch for me

Flagstaff@programming.dev · 1 pts · 100d

Yeah, idk. Bad starting positions basically doom your chance to win before they've even begun.

Waters rise.

Sands shifted.

Forbidden Island!

Forbidden Desert!

Wait so desert was your least favorite? I found it adequately challenging compared to island which felt a bit too easy for a co-op game :o

plateee@piefed.social · 4 pts · 100d

I think for the group I was playing with, Forbidden Island was more accessible. It's probably not my absolute least favorite game, but I was curious if anyone would pick up on the games with just two word sentences. 😂

Keep the werewolves at bay by having the lowest hand.

Fuck you and your thimble!

Worker placement, time travel, apocalyptic, escape story.

Stop asking if I’m a supernatural creature.

We're going to Center City to play with the game pieces.(The only hint I'll give ya is not the Checker pieces. Go Birds!)

Last time we parked on Pennsylvania Ave we saw a dude get stabbed on our way to Tropicana.

Nordic Tetris.

Let's all watch one person get lucky with some die rolls and slowly take everything from everyone else.

Favorite(s):

  • Take 4-12 hours to industrialize the solar system on a gigantic beautiful board. Only use 20% of it. Roll or FINAO.
  • Take 2 hours to industrialize the west coast of England.

Least favorite(s):

  • Take 5 hours to pick a random winner by giving someone a carrot.
  • Take 15 minutes to randomly drive people insane by throwing a die at them.

Whats the first one? that sounds interesting?

Hawke@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 100d

High Frontier

Cooperative dungeon crawl with cowboys and tentacles.

The winner has been determined within the first hour, but there's 5 hours left of this godforsaken rail game.

Alternate set:

Supremely tuned deck based dungeon crawl.

Supremely tuned deck based dungeon crawl with snow.

  • Roads and rivers on tiles. Boredom.
  • Describe your card, but not too well. Perfection.
RamenDame@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 100d
  • We are cute little wood creatures marching, battling and stealing from each other in the forrest.

(Apart from the usual suspects, I don’t have a least favourite, therefore here one I just don’t enjoy)

  • Oh, dear, how could you invite the Americans again, they are such rude guests.

"global thermonuclear war, and I'm Joshua."

This game has too many damn pieces for a game about birds and is effectively over by the second turn so now everyone else sits and waits for the end game conditions, just going through the motions.

You only have cards to set up your space empire, potentially trade based

Infinite miniatures allow you to defend or attack the Shire

Jupiter's cock!

Oh another bland mishmash of mechanics made by Stonemaier games :<
