From my interpretation, this meme suggests we should just stop building cars. The fact we are buying so many cars is just a testament on how bad public transportation is. Even with traffic I still manage to get 1 hour and half faster than public transportation by train + subway.
I wish the solution was as simples as a resource redirection, but unfortunately it would require some city planning and possibly rebuilding around public transportation. Not gonna happen, I guess.
I wouldn't call it awful ckick bait article. It's just heavy games the writter happens to enjoy. It's not like they are bad games or games with fancy IPs.
The campaign for North Africa would just be a waste of a slot, no one is actually interested in completing a play. It takes 20 years and a group of 8-10 players (yes, that's a real player range). I would also argue that wargames are their own tabletop category. A factual top 10 most complex boardgames would be, without a doubt, 10 wargames.
Sorry to link you to reddit but there is a very active subreddit /r/tabletopgamedesign, they have a ton of interesting content. Unfortunately no lemmy alternative.
I think Wingspan is a good game but its weight is a bit tricky. My group finds it too light, my family finds it too complicated... Fantastic production value tho.
It's sad that Wingspan is the #1 in the Family category on bgg. From personal experience it's more like a "next-level" kind of game. Everdell at #3 isn't doing anyone any favors either!
Dorfromantik (3x, 2p): I ended up buying it because it won SdJ and I didn't have any tile-laying game anymore. The game starts slow and slowly adds new components and "achievements". Kind wish it was more goal oriented, to be honest. There's no win-condition, you just sum your points, the more points you have the faster you unlock the new components. Definitely want to play it some more but I can't say I loved it.
I've been dying to try Android: Netrunner. I've been following Null Signal Games and I think I'll give it a go with their revised gateway system that is supposed to come out this month.
Unfortunately no. I'd love if there was a place where I could try a game before buying it but unfortunately the local scene is really scarce where I exist.
I do have some LGS 20-30 mins away (by car) but with a 30 euro markup I don't see the point of even going.
Pretty neat! What's your favorite co-op game so far?
Have you tried this, and what are your thoughts on it?`
I haven't tried it but I have considered getting it. My SO didn't enjoy Spirit Island and it kinda breaks my heart. I was hoping that she would enjoy a streamlined version of the game but she disliked it so much that I don't wanna force it.
Let me know your thoughts when you open your Spirit Island!
I hate driving because of everything you just said!

I really hate driving but it takes me 30 min to drive somewhere where public transportation takes me 2 hours. Driving saves me 3 hours a day.
If public transportation was good, I wouldn't drive.

Standard box sizes in general is something I'd really really like.

I think they're only updating the card backs, which apparently have changed over time. Contents will be the same, as far as I know.
Never tried it, sorry!

Check out my Light Eurogames post here
I can really relate to this XD
The sanity check is a hype momment for us, no one is going to let that slide!
Can't blame you, we thought same!
I tried the original Spendor and didn't enjoy it so it really turned me off the duel version :/
