Holy shit boardgaming so so back

>what is a popular game mechanic you think is terrible?
There'a a bunch of stuff I dislike, but nothing out of principle. Eg. Semi coops sound great on paper but every time I've played one it has sucked so far. I'd say trick taking because I find it so dull as they are very same-y but there surely are games in which it works in a more interesting way. Brian Boru got close, but the rest of it wasn't super engaging.
>what's a game mechanic you would like to see more of?
Tile laying. I've said it before, but I think we are overdue for a tile laying renaissance
>what are you gonna play this weekend?
FUCKALL, to my immense annoyance. If the stars should suddenly align, I'd try Oracle of Delphi. And probably Shadow Council a friend recently got.

Not a game mechanic per se but a design choice. Lack of player interaction in long, heavy games is a feature, not a bug. I don't wanna sit around for like 3 hours and have to strategically consider every move with extreme diligence only for others to be able to shit in my gears, sometimes without even intending it. Multiplayer solitaire or close to it is what I want when I sit down for a fat hog of a game.

I have no idea why they thought this would do the game any favors, it lives off the constant conversation and planning between teammates all whilst spying on the other team. I mean, maybe there is some Guards of atlantis effect where regulating/making conversation cumbersome actually makes the game better because it leans more into playing off each others actions and making an unspoken plan, but I don't think so. GoA is "pick one of these 5 cards", La Famiglia gives you way, way more options.

But I should just try it tbqh

Now that videogames/roguelikes have worn out deck building over the last 10 years, what's the next board game mechanic that videogames can use?

>>97901332
>What board game mechanics do you grow out of?
I used to really love engine building. I really dislike it now. I feel like it puts a delay that doesn't need to be there between your decision and your combo or scoring. I also really used to love rolling dice but I've grown more fond of other methods of randomizing game elements like drawing random setup tiles before the game begins.

The influence is going both ways now so it's hard to pinpoint one particular mechanic. I've been seeing quite a lot of tile laying video games lately. I think people dramatically overestimate how innovative the board game niche is. It's mostly repackaged stuff, so I don't think we're going to see a big new trend borrowed directly from modern board games to be honest. Tabletop games have been influencing video games since the very start so it's not a new trend.

>>97904500
Yeah, but videogames haven't innovated at all. Most aaa games are still riding a horse around and mashing buttons to pull off some canned animation. Virtually no different from games in the 80s, except for fidelity

I backed the collector's edition of Brass Lanceshire and I'm excited to play it, because I want those wooden counters and the new Pittsburg looks like a bloated meme parody of Martin Wallace's design.
But now I gotta wait a year for it to ship, what do I play in the mean time?

>>97905055
You can't play two opposing rooks in the same tile of a city, retard. They'd need to come from two separate city tiles that conjoin later.

If there are two circles on a single tile, each can hold one rook if both come from the same agent card.
God do people even read the living rules these days.

>>97905087
No. I only read the undead rules.

>>97904197
The BGA implementation is really well done but this is not a game to be played online. Stripping out the table talk and live planning makes this game absolutely boring as can be. Hegemony is in alpha on there too and it's the exact same situation but much worse.

>>97905087
What the fuck is that tank looking shit? I hope it's not from an actual board game.

Only viewing a cross section.

It hurts.

You hear its silhouette. You taste its voice. You see its opinions.

You politely disagree bit respect its right to have them.
You ready your weapon, prepared for the fight of your life.

Is it summer already?

>>97905862
It's spring, the precursor to Summer.

finally played 23 knives
my friends were being stupid silly and the game dragged forever because they spent way more energy swaying each other than actually putting cards into the forum
that's not the game's fault though - i still had a lot of fun with the dynamics. there's a lot of potential for table talk. one player was clearly trying to play heads down and kill Caesar essentially alone, and complained about never drawing any big knives. i just think that shows a complete inability to adapt to your situation or negotiate with others
there were some fun moments where opportunists wanted to help one another, but couldn't be totally sure that the player on the other side of the deal wasn't secretly trying to fuck them.
ended up with 3 players pulling off a massive swing and banding together to kill caesar. i was massively underestimating how many birds were getting added to the deck, but it ended up not mattering much
want to play again/10

>>97905807
No kidding. The design diary is also either a blatant lie, or a joke
>players unanimously preferred
>players unanimously preferred
>players unanimously preferred
What players? Since when does playtesting yield unanimous results, I thought the point of playtesting was to measure with as wide of an input as possible, to catch anything that could've been missed from the perspective of only 1-2 designers. And for Brass? Now, I could see a beloved but controversial game, like Root, Agricola, GF19 Dune, War of the Ring, making changes in a later edition that get large appeal. But UNANIMOUS? And for Brass? THE Brass? I've only ever seen NITPICK criticisms like
>The map isn't as tight at 3 players
Or
>Loans are heckin icky
Not wideswept, general criticisms like "Kingmaking is too powerful in a game with no internal motivation" or "Fix spice combat and Karama cards already". I don't think Pittsburg is going to hold up like the first two Brass games have.
