FAQ

I live in Mexico/Canada/Bahamas/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now my browser history is full of sexy stuff!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on meatballs and schnapps, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Ending soon (37)

Posting this for the fun intro that brings to life one of the pictures from the new expansion but the content is interesting too (for Arnak players).

Everyone has different preferences but its THAT time of the year again and getting some inspiration could be useful :). I really like practical solutions like gaming mats or storage solutions but not sure where to get the best ones.

FAQ

I live in Mexico/Canada/Bahamas/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!

Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.

Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?

Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.

Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?

Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now my browser history is full of sexy stuff!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on meatballs and schnapps, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Ending soon (20)

Yesterday we've played two new games, and they both were a great success.

  • Incan Gold (or Diamant): push your luck cave explorers. The mechanics are easy to understand by everyone and the game flows very fast. We felt the game really forces you to think about how greedy you can afford to be. We also decided on the houserule of really suspicious explorers: when some go back they split the available gold in each room, instead of considering all that is available in the caves.
  • Hellapagos: cooperative castaways, for a while. This is a bit more complex and requires more focus, but with the right people it can be really funny. Everyone begins with a lot of good intentions, but when the rations start to get low and the hurricane close, curiously everyone starts looking for guns and bullets. This game probably requires a very specific mix of players, as being all cooperators make it boring, but selfish backstabbers can't survive alone.

We played both games with 4 players. For Incan Gold it we think 5/6 would be the best. Hellapagos maybe 6/7, more if you want complete chaos.

Some funny things that happened

  • In Incan Gold, a lucky explorer has been left alone in the cave almost since the beginning, and managed to survive with ~20 gold and 4 idols.
  • In Hellapagos, a castaway played selfishly all the game and in the end boarded the raft by stealing the conch (which made him immune to being voted out) from another player.

I found this a nice inspiration for those of us with kids and the little tradition this could spark which I think would be super healthy for the kids and also the relationship for when they are adults.

A day late but better than never! Any suggestions? Warning? Please share!

I was trying to find some games the other day, using advanced search and filters, and I've noticed some categories feel not so useful. This is the actual main categorization:

  • Abstract games
  • Children's games
  • Customizable games
  • Family games
  • Party games
  • Strategy games
  • Thematic games
  • Wargames

These are the main game genres in your opinion?

Talisman (en.wikipedia.org)
 
 

One of my favorite board games!

  • The game is never-ending (if you so choose). The cards are reshuffled and taken back in the game once they have been used
  • You can become all-mighty if you want to
  • Can have many different endings (options are up to the players)
  • Has lots of addons, giving new areas, cards, player characters, functions and endings
  • Has a rather cheap (base) game in Steam as well
  • Lots of stuff to remember what you can do, once you have spells and items and followers

Can I donate all my money to you?

No

Can you help me promote my game?

Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.

Your list is full of errors and now Microsoft support won't take my calls anymore!

Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on single malt whisky, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Ending soon (38)

Placing shiny glass diamonds in this combo-tastic puzzler is a joy since everyone selects one card to play per turn and that can trigger several additional turns all at once! Lots of things to think about for scoring and gorgeous presentationโ€ฆ a classic Knizia design.

This has probably been asked before, but I was hoping to hear what method people have had the most success with. My wife won't let me get any more games unless I make room on the bookshelf lol.

Hey guys, Iโ€™m trying to see if one of the two games is worth getting.

I really like Battlestar galactica and got every extensions. Now the problem with Battlestar galactica is that the game is very long and it takes a lot of time to explain the rules to peopleโ€ฆ From what Iโ€™ve read Nemesis can fix the issue as the basic rules are simple and quick to explain and the game only needs 1 player to know the rest.

Now I have several questions: -I read that like in BSG people may have different objectives. How does it work exactly? Do you get these from the start? Can you become an enemy mid-game because you got infected or something? Is there some kind of bluffing involved like in BSG? -I donโ€™t have much board games, but this one looks expensive to me. Is there any reason for it and do you think itโ€™s worth the money? -What would your recommend between Nemesis and Nemesis: Lockdown? -Do you think maybe there are other games that may be a good replacement for BSG?

Thank you!

While Spiel is one, if not the biggest board game convention, local conventions are a great opportunity to check out new games and finding new people

For those in Spain, Dau Barcelona is at the end of Novemeber, Malagas board game convention starts in two weeks and Madrid is at the begining of December! How about other countries? Please share :)

Hi all,

I'm looking for some suggestions and hoping you might be able to help me out.

Quick backstory: My 7-year-old has ben getting really into Uno the past few weeks, so there's always a deck lying around. Always looking to test new ideas out, I've been experimenting with how a game of patience/solitaire might work if played with a deck of Uno cards, and I've actually come up with a few simple rules that work, while retaining the nature of the Uno cards (so far had some interesting test runs with Klondike and Pyramids).

While playing around with these "Unotaire" variants, I've been getting that feeling of something creeping up on me; a game idea, just over the horizon, but not quite close enough to make out yet. It's like being able to taste a new card game, without having it in your mouth yet (if that makes any sense).

As this unknown game is still mostly unclear to me, let me try to describe how it "tastes":

  • It's something you can play on your own, not unlike Solitaire.

  • It has its own deck; it's not played with a regular deck of cards (and it might have more or less than 52 cards).

  • It probably has no other components than cards. You pick up the pack, remove the cards, place them just like so, and you're off.

  • It might be able to somehow tell a story. I've been thinking a lot about Reigns (the mobile/video game) here โ€” simple decisions lead to big consequences further down the line.

  • Like Reigns, the game is somewhat linear; you might start with the cards laid out, in something akin to some Solitaire pattern, and you try to make it through to the end and "win". You might pull it off, you might not. Much like Solitaire.

  • I can't stop thinking about Tarot. 56 "standard" cards in 4 suits (minor arcana), and then the 22 suitless major arcana cards. Tarot also has various patterns/spreads (3-card, 9-card, celtic cross, wheel, etc.) in which you lay out the cards, and some set rules as to how to "read" them (and then, of course, massive amounts of subjective interpretation from the "reader"). Not suggesting a fortune telling component, just that the "flavor" of Tarot cards makes sense to me in this context.

  • If it's possible to piece this thing together in a way where it can also be played by 2 (or more) people, that would be grand.

  • The game doesn't need to be quick, but it wouldn't hurt if it was fast paced; Hmm, I'm stuck! Deal out 3 cards from the draw pile, flip them over real quick, look at the top one, Oh this means I can do this... and so forth.

The main thing here is the variability of the deck; shuffle the cards, and you will have a fairly unique adventure. Same framework as your last game, but the path will be completely changed. Maybe the story will be capable of varying wildly from game to game as well. Or maybe the story needs to go away.

And the Solitaire aspect of the thing, meaning having to lay the cards out in some specific way, which creates the "path" you need to navigate in order to win (not a literal path).

My problem is that I don't really know any games that come close to this genre. The only thing that comes to mind is The Lost Expedition, but that has a lot more components and mechanics than what I want.

The might also be some deck-based dungeon crawlers out there that are worth a look, but I haven't found them yet.

I'm hoping some of you might suggest games to look at for inspiration, mechanisms that might deal with driving a story without any components beyond a deck of cards, and just general thoughts.

Thank you for any and all feedback and/or suggestions! I'm looking forward to (hopefully) hearing from you ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿค˜

While the article is just rubbish, as if vertical va horizontal is settled by sticking your games to the wall (how big do they think my house is, maybe if I life in a climbing gym). However for a few games it could be cool.
