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.

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 finally got to try The crew: Mission deep sea. I like it, but I think I prefered the simplicity of the first one. The game is basically the same but I have to constantly remind people what the meaning of the goal cards are.

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!

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.

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.

On the contrary, lemmy.world feels snappier and holds all the comments. Additionally, you can see that the first example is from 10 AM yesterday. Overload is not the answer.

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.

We have a boardgame convention here in Lisbon but I never attended. It's not that big but who knows, maybe someone brings a board.

Last time I checked we have a couple of local sellers who sell nice boards, but it's over 200 euros. I almost prefer to hate the game xD

After further investigation it appears you were correct. Link here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3230

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.

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.

I hate driving because of everything you just said!

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!

Dexterity games are usually not our thing. I tried a bunch of them but Menara was the first one that really clicked. I always enjoyed stacking things, tho :P

I tried the original Spendor and didn't enjoy it so it really turned me off the duel version :/

Let us know how your thoughts on it!! :D

The sanity check is a hype momment for us, no one is going to let that slide!

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