TROPHY CASE

Helpful tips for introducing new people to board games by Cypher_Reaganin boardgames

[–]sirmuffinman 0 points1 point ago

I found The Resistance is a good gateway game. It's interactive, it's somewhat team-based, it doesn't require learning anything complicated and it gives people good stories to tell to others.

Music while playing board games by BelgoCanadianin boardgames

I usually just put on something light and inoffensive. Bonobo and Daft Punk are usually good for that. Sometimes I put on Flight of the Conchords if people are familiar with it.

Sometimes it depends on which game is being played, but usually not. If our regular group is playing Descent we usually put on an LotR soundtrack.

To answer your question, I find that looking at movies/TV shows that are a similar theme to the game really helps. A Call of Cthulhu PC game came out a few years ago which has an appropriate soundtrack. Here's the Youtube playlist someone put together: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2AC936C77AFAD6E3&feature=plcp

Wow, us Brits are getting screwed over for Cards Against Humanity by Retro21in boardgames

That's not Amazon directly selling it, it's some jerkoff distributor who is jacking up the price.

What did you play this weekend? by timotabin boardgames

[–]sirmuffinman 0 points1 point ago

Saturday

Jungle Speed - just picked up this game and decided to have a quick 4-player game of it. I seemed to mess up the rules quite a bit despite the rulebook being very short, lots of little nuances. It was good fun though.

Merchants and Marauders - my first full playthrough of this game (4 players). I don't think I like it that much, it is far too luck-based. It's a shame though because everything else about the game is so interesting. I came second.

Grimoire - An interesting German remake of a Japanese game where everyone secretly selects a spell from their identical spell books, and then they get resolved in order. You try to claim VPs, treasure or cards that otherwise boost/award VP. It's pretty fun but I'm not sure about the longevity as the variety in the card deck is quite slim.

Sunday

Wiz-War - the old favourite. A 2-player game where I was winning quite handily but eventually got chased by a werewolf and beaten down with a lucky roll.

Jungle Speed - just another 2-player game. It is far better with more players.

What is your most favorite level in a video game? by DryAsphaltin truegaming

[–]sirmuffinman 1 point2 points ago

My first playthrough of that was with my friends online. The part where it starts raining and you realise voice comms no longer work was terrifying. Definitely in one of the top 5 moments I've had.

I did that one someone's Facebook saying "I just ran over a kid, but luckily no-one saw so I just drove off. Hope he's okay, I was going pretty fast."

His mum called him 20 minutes later crying.

[COMC] Just over a year of collecting. I think I've finally slowed down... by sirmuffinmanin boardgames

[–]sirmuffinman[S] 0 points1 point ago

It's pretty enjoyable. I find it hard to compare one euro to another. The mechanics are smooth and the game is satisfying.
