Clash of cultures: monumental edition is at a decently low price at boarding school games now. Worth picking up? It doesn't get brought up often here but it looks like the best historical civ-type board game. I'd love to bring it to my local meetup just so that the Tapestry defenders play a better game for once.

Mike and Terry left GMT because they knew Gene was a kiddie diddler before he was actually charged. Also, that some publishers actively court controversy by hiring adverse marketing teams so they get more eyeballs on their products during a kickstarter/pre-order (eh em Stonemeier).

>spill some industry secrets
It's hard to get a job as a board game designer but it's much easier to get a job as a part-time rulebook editor and pays just about the same if you factor in the time spent doing it. Plus, you get to play most games well before they go gold.

>what is a brilliant implementation or use of hidden information in board games?

it's not 18xx-like in any way beyond hex grid and train theme. there's no stonks, no upgrades that rust everything two tiers below out of commission, no nothing. just placing tokens where your board tells you to, and picking up upgrades that let you place tokens into more/different places. oh and also deliveries, i think.

try it on TTS if it still looks appealing

A Feast for Odin easily. Spirit Island has nothing going for it.
>a-at least the gameplay is good?
"No!" The gameplay is dreadful; the game is terrible. As I played, I noticed that every time a card was played, the player did it for the symbols instead of an interesting effect.

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time a card was played for symbols only. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Reuss' mind is so governed by bland effects and thinly veiled set collection that he has no other style of gameplay. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Spirit Island by the same Kenneth Johnson. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these manchildren are playing Spirit Island at 31 or 32, then when they get older they will go on to play Phase 10." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you play "Spirit Island" you are, in fact, trained to play Phase 10.

I'd agree, but add that the games feel artificially complex because they lack some kind of cohesive structure. It's lots of systems layered on top of each other, sometimes entirely independent from one another. Now, that doesn't necessarily mean that his games are bad, just that they might feel like lacerda printed and cut out a plethora of possible boardgame
mechanics and themes and randomly drew 10 of them. But that's just his style.

No, VQ is kind of made for hardcore fans of HIS. To play HIS only one person needs to know the ~40 page rulebook while the rest can get by just knowing their faction specific rules. For VQ, everyone needs to know all of the rules of HIS plus the additions the game adds to HIS's system. The only reason to consider VQ first is that it doesn't have the hard requirement of exactly 6 players (it scales with 4-5p well which is impossible in HIS).

Well anyway, game was tight and tense and everyone liked the expansion. We talked about maybe house ruling a way to churn the tech tiles if someone goes to the tech discount space in lieu of putting a unit in the future discount area, but it's a pretty minor complaint.

A few of the new leaders seem pretty weird though, like the dreadnought focused guy seems like trash compared to the good leaders from the base game.

A lot of games don't use great card stock so as a result the cards get damaged/worn fairly quickly. If I notice a card is damaged in a unique way compared to others in the deck, I can't forget it for some reason. So from that point on I will always know what that card is without ever having to look at the face of it which basically amounts to cheating. I don't want that which is why I sleeve almost every game.

>what is the most important aspect of worker placement game?
Forcing player interaction. The key point of player interaction in worker placement games is in the spot denial and turn order manipulation with some games adding other avenues to interact in, in general the best worker placement games force that interaction by making the spots scarce and competitive preventing players from going off and doing their own thing by themselves. How that all relates to the scoring mechanisms is equally important, a good worker placement game makes all spots highly valuable to all players as something you need to do at some point to win the game instead of being niche spots that’s only good if you pursue a certain strategy. I’d recommend Argent, Agricola, Barrage, Dominant Species (both original and Marine), Lorenzo il Magnifico, and Pret a Porter as great examples of games that create tense decisions from that level of player interaction.

thank you
what do i do if my main mechanic is that everyone has separate main boards?
for example my prototype is codenamed "failboats" the players are all sailing mice looking for land on a flotilla that progresses through legs of a journey
its like waterworld meets battlestar galactica meets mouse utopia, vp determines which mouse captain is mouseking when they reach land, being the best leader
the ships contain your buildings and your population, population produce trash and "malcontents" that wander around from tile to tile and lock up buildings and prevent reassingment or productions
all tiles on your ship can be moved around like sliding block puzzles by the pop or be events, this is required to move trash around to your furnaces or to push stuff overboard, junk is another spacetaker that can be salvaged for cards or resources
the main offboard mechanic i have is salvage diving, which trashdumping attracts sharks which makes it harder
every leg ends with an encounter that all must face together or fail together, flotilla order determines risk and first pick of spoils
but so far that and diving are the only direct TAKE THAT moments aside from command cards and captain/mate abilities
should there be a DMZ ship that all of the captains meet at that maybe modifies rules or behaviors of the whole fleet?
its a dumb comedic game but i dont want it to be divorced from the tenets of worker placement even if it is a colony game first
theres also an unrest mechanic that produces malcontents scaling with pop, so the runaway leader has a cascading dorf tantrum spiral at all times
unrest was the main sort of way i had to fuck with the other players but do you think more offboard mechanics would shore up that baseline to include more wheeling and dealing?
like a fleet tribunal or something?
each player has a colony ship that they build up

Maybe have the diplomatic vessel have secretary positions you can sacrifice pop/crew and resources to to get more sway, then the reps vote to modify what the main VP vectors are on the next leg. If a ship has high unrest, so many of its reps will vote randomly, according to the severity of your malcontent problem.
This would force the leader to cut resources off of the top to keep the VP cows in their wheelhouse according to the engine they built, as they also tamp down on unrest, funneling small amounts of resources in two directions, meaning optimally all players will have the same net agency.

I see your point, and agree with you, especially on a lot of games using mediocre quality card stock.
I swear, considering how much designer games cost, why don't they use quality card stock for their cards? A bloody Bicycle card pack (or any other pack for that matter, such as Modiano, Piatnik, ASS) which costs a few dollars lasts decades. I have packs of traditional cards which are a decade or two old, brown from all the regular card playing, but still in great shape, not bent or chipped anywhere, the backs are all the same, cards feel good in the hand. On the other hand, the resource cards in catan are half ruined and I've played catan much less than traditional card games.
They need to use the quality card stock.

I don't know the industrial process behind good cards manufacturing, but my guess is that, to avoid delamination and reduce wear on the edges, the plastic coating has to come after cards have been cut to shape. Again, I have no idea how the plastic coating phase is carried out, but I suspect that it's very expensive to do on custom sized cards so the plastic coating is either applied before the cutting process, because that's when the factory can still handle a standard sized sheet, or not applied at all. Brands that produce just the same handful of decks can take advantage of streamlined production processes and massive economies of scale, so it's no wonder that they can afford to pump out decks of cards that cost under 10€ and can survive a nuclear war or two.

People usually sell Root with all expansions barely used way cheaper than retail because they, for some reason, decide to buy everything before even checking if they or their group will like the game first.

Jesus christ why. Try on TTS or get core and if it flops thats an easy flip.
I have several complete collections of games I love, but built over years and after the original game was a huge hit with friends.
I dont particularly care when a publisher has a popular product line and offers a lot of support for it with expansions and add ons, but deciding to experience it all at once as a consumer baffles me.

Afaik traditional cards are printed on a huge uncut stock and then cut at once into fifty four (maybe fifty six including the advertisement cards) cards.
I'm not sure if it would be too expensive to print out board game card components this way since as you say fewer are needed; kickstarter custom packs are usually made about a thousand packs, idk how many board game copies are published and if it would be economic for them to print out cards in the same manner.
As you say, because the cards for board games are custom sized is the probable reason for not manufacturing them in the same manner as playing cards.
Idk, card sleeves obviously have a good purpose, it's just that I don't like the feel, and I don't like overprotecting my belongings in general (e.g. I dislike phone masks). Different tastes, I guess.

Because people like to consume, the dopamine rush they get from the anticipation, the stories they tell themselves about the game they probably have a foggy grasp on

From such fantasm , the reality is often disapointing, it speaks to how much we like to tell ourselves stories.

I bought Armada because I liked the idea of the game, its enthraling promises spoke softly in my ear, a promise yet to be realised as it sits on my shelf for.more than a year now, yet I am afraid to open it, afraid to be disapointed. Send help.

Cool, that keeps everything in the box, as is its job. But most organizers don't go all the way up to the lid and those that do don't stop the lid from being pushed by the weight of the components when stored vertically. Making your organizer... not organized. Of course, if you like spending time separating out all of the components every time you want to play that's your prerogative.

Spanish colonization practices were probably the most brutal in history, I'm not sure how anyone can even pretend to defend them.

Yes, the Aztec baby sacrificing was bad, but it's nothing compared to how many babies died under Spanish rule of the Americas

You literally can't go wrong with any of their best sellers https://www.gmtgames.com/c-44-best-sellers-all-time.aspx#[PageNumber(0)|PageSize(50)|PageSort(Name)|DisplayType(Grid)]
Though do note that the weights of these games vary WILDLY. I wouldn't recommend Empire of the Sun as a first purchase.
Other things to consider from GMT are:
>Churchill
>Nevsky
>Cuba Libre (or any other COIN)
>Time of Crisis
>The other 2 Mark Herman CDGs (Washington's War and For the People)
From other publishers there's also games like 1775 or Undaunted.

I like both quite a bit but they're also at opposite ends of the spectrum from each other in terms of complexity. Cuba Libre is just a scaled down version of Andean Abyss, which makes it the easiest COIN to learn. By contrast Fire in the Lake is one of the hardest to learn due to its size and extra mechanics. Still, you can't go wrong with either as long as you know what you're getting into, so just pick a setting that you like and dive in.

Easily Dune. /bgg/ is contrarian about it for some reason but it's one of the best mainstream games of the last few years and has a great expansion. It has a way of triggering deckbuilding autists though; I regularly see the person who focuses most on optimizing their deck come in last since they're ignoring more important stuff going on.

You absolutely need to choose your mission set. Both sets are designed around particular strategies and mixing them will slow both factions down by making their decks less consistent, and slowing the factions down will favor the Rebels.

Generally speaking, both mission sets are playable and fun, but the Empire's expansion set is a small buff over the base set, while the Rebel's expansion set is a small nerf. If you want to choose just off win rate, the Empire should take the expansion set and the Rebels should stick with the base.

The buffs and nerfs are small enough that you don't really need to randomize it, picking is still balanced well enough that the game will usually go to whoever has the skill edge. I don't think you'd need to randomize unless you're trying to start a Rebellion tournament scene or something.

My recommendation for the learning process for Rebellion:
1) Play the base game's learning scenario first.
2) Switch sides and play a full base game. This enables both players to see both sides and get a good feel for how it all works, while also making sure they're totally up on all the rules. Also, playing two games with the base combat system will REALLY make you powerfully appreciate the overhaul from the expansion combat.
3) Switch sides again and play with the expansion, using the expansion mission decks for both sides.
4) Switch sides again and play with the expansion, choosing your mission set, and now you've got a full grasp of the ins and outs of the game, complete with the expansion. Enjoy many more plays to come in the future.

Monopoly unironically requires skill, though. I'm not bating, negotiation and trading with other players is essential, and much more difficult than in e.g. catan, there being fewer trades and the trades being much more valuable individually.
I'm not saying it's a great game, but you should watch a monopoly tournament game to get a feel of good play. It's not just "come on, I need an eight".
>>85032679
>I'm sick of your wilful ignorant replies.
I'm not that guy, but you resort to calling people niggers and trannies. Your arguments, as far as I can see, are:
1) player elimination is bad
2) the games are normie trash
How is player elimination bad? Games of skill lend themselves to tournament style of play where eventually the strongest players play to determine who is the most skilful, i.e. the master of the game. I'm not saying player elimination is necessarily good, but it is natural and can be a good system.
If a game is popular, it's bad? I'm not a fan of catan (I find it dry), but it's not a bad game. Same goes for ticket to ride, chess, go, poker, and plenty of others.
The games here >>85032333 generally reward skillful play, practice, experience, and studying the game.
