Comic: Types of Board Game. [Each panel has a person, a person with a ponytail, a person with shoulder-length hair, and a person with a white hat seated around a table with different board game and pieces on top. (1) Boring: PERSON 3: Each turn, roll a die and move your token. Turns proceed clockwise around the table until we all get tired and go home. (2) Abstract: PERSON 1: Each turn, you can place any number of red triangles or blue squares on a hexagon, or move any hexagon to a... (3) Hyperspecific Theme: PERSON 2: It’s October 2, 1814. The Congress of Vienna convenes. You are each in charge of distributing and lighting candles for the opening ball, which was held at these three locations... (4) Overcomplicated: PERSON 4: It’s a cross between *Twilight Imperium* and *Cones of Dunshhire*, but implemented entirely in category theory. Every cone is a monad, and... (5) Cooperative: PERSON 3: We’re working together to sort these decks of cards using only hand gestures. After that, we’ll silently organize my junk drawer.

I am once again saying that letting fascists back into society when they pretend to be repentant like this will lead to the rise of fascism again. They are upset because Trump has made them look like the fascists they are. This does not mean they are on the side of morality and human rights suddenly

I need to play this one so much.

I remember it looked great and felt utterly forgettable after I finished unfortunately.

Thanks for the quick response!

Thank goodness I ordered when I did. When do orders with Dead Channels go out?

BG Stats 3 x 3. IRL Play count: 2: Kiri-ai: The Duel; 1: Deep Regrets; 1: Whistle Mountain; 1: Fantastic Factories; 1: Dark Pact; 1: Adulthood.

This past week saw a decent range of games for me. #BoardGames #BGStats

Umm.. 50 minutes? And it was my first play. I can see it being longer with more players, but its not especially hard.

2 player seems ok... I lost a lil in the translation since some info needs to be hidden, so I could be wrong about two.

it definitely it.. very random, but a fair amout of mitigation available to smooth out the play... definitely needs 3+ players

It was a lovely way to start a morning..

Fishing is pretty calming, right?

Who cares what you catch..

Wait..

What the heck is this?

ON NO!!! 😱

So many regrets!

cool! have you played it before, or know the designer?

Lol, no need to apologize! I need to play that one too 😁

You mean Shallow Regrets?

Final board state for Deep Regrets

Just finished up a lil early morning first play (two-handed solo) of Deep Regrets. This should be a fun one to play with others. I have to check out the true solo mode. #BoardGames

This was really sweet! Sorry I waited so long to finally play it. Can't wait to try it again!

We really enjoyed it!

2 player setup of Whistle Mountain

Had this one unplayed for so long. Finally, I'm playing Whistle Mountain today with my wife. #BoardGames

No worries 😊

Hey, Beshear, Lis Smith, & associated Majority Dem-types:

If you want to kill group-speak, how about we start with “officer-involved shooting,” “ice agent involved-shooting,” “weaponized vehicle” & other mealy-mouthed obfuscations of state-sanctioned murder?

What games are they?

“What Barthes *argues* in the essay is that the meaning of the text is contained in the text itself, and rather than searching for “the author’s intent,” we should hew towards what is actually done within the work on the formal level.”

jfc thank you for saying the quiet part out loud

It's fun for sure but not the only thing worth checking out. Have you tried Unmatched? Might also be of interest if you want two player fighting games. These are two good systems to compare/contrast.

Damn, can't wait to get Puerh

@fanfactories.bsky.social make BGG produce the vitamin geekbits! I needz them so much!

Hows the gameplay?

It's so good! So easy and smooth to play and teach!

Final results of my game of Fantastic Factories. Beat the bot 20-13

Played and won a quick game of Fantastic Factories with Manufactions against the bot. This is still a banger and worth the spot in my collection! #BoardGames
