Ok, it might be the case that I just didn't realize they exist where I live. In Hamburg, I just know the boardgame café Würfel & Zucker.

Ich sehe es nicht so eng in diesem Kontext. Solange klar ist, was gemeint ist...

Allerdings stört es mich sehr, wenn in meiner sehr teuren Tageszeitung pro Seite 3-5 Fehler enthalten sind (übrigens genau wie in deinem Kommentar, auf den ich gerade antworte 😉).

Thanks for elaborating. I'm just generally curious what is being played in other countries. As a German, I always played lots of board games and I for myself prefer complex Euro games.

It's interesting that you distinguish between those café types since here in Germany, there is no such distinction. I only know boardgame cafés.

Sounds cool. What kinds of board games are played there? Classic card games, modern strategic Euro games, party games or any of those?

Ich war mal um 3 Uhr nachts in Alaska in nem Wal-Mart Supercenter, wo neben Shot Guns auch Autoreifen verkauft wurden und grade ne Mutter mit nem Kleinkind einkaufen war.

Man kann es sich wirklich nicht vorstellen, aber die Denkweise ist einfach völlig anders. Bei den Entfernungen wird vielleicht nur alle 2 Wochen eingekauft, dafür aber gleich gallonenweise Milch und kistenweise andere haltbare Lebensmittel.

Und die Center sind so groß, dass man sehr viele mit diesen Mobility Scooters fahren sieht. Da entstehen auch schon mal Warteschlangen. Dagegen sind selbst die größten Supermärkte bzw. Einkaufscenter hier in Deutschland winzig.

I totally get what you mean by lower entry barrier. In the end, that's also by design for LCGs. But the completionist in me looks at the price tag for the whole collection in horror (no pun intended). Maybe after what you wrote I still give it another try, so thanks for sharing your experience.

When you play SI for the first time on TTS, I highly recommend playing with someone who knows the game already. Scripts in TTS are nice and all, but it's even harder to understand how everything works when they are doing stuff so fast that you cannot follow.

Exactly. Maybe I'm sounding awfully optimistic, but I actually enjoy the slow pace here. Posts can be 1 week old and there are still comments popping up after a while. It also makes interactions more meaningful in a way.

I played Spirit Island for the first time on Tabletop Simulator and it felt kinda cluttered and too hard to anticipate what happens next. But playing it at a real table with all the little pieces was completely different. We played many times with 4 players since and added the expansions only after a while. The base game is completely fine in my opinion and doesn't feel incomplete.

I didn't really get into AH LCG. I only played it in TTS and felt like I had little control over the game. There were so many random elements that could affect all subsequent games that we abandoned it in frustration. And isn't the price much higher with all the campaigns than SI?

That's a nice collection you got there. Many classics and a quite heavy game like Root.

And despite it's simplicity, '6 Nimmt' is also great, especially with higher player counts.

Your keyboard seems to be drunk. Still upvoted
