I've found macho koro pretty underwhelming in my few plays of it. I think it really needs the open trading of catan to feel like there's more of a game there. That said, it's fine, but like ticket to ride, one of the less exciting gateway games imo

catan is great, as long as your group is open and willing to trade

because i agree that the game "strategy" is generally solvable. but the experience is still enjoyable if everyone isn't entirely min-maxing numbers and will make moves to interact with other players

(and yeah, maybe "great" is a stretch, but i think it has a lot of value for a so-called gateway euro - i dig most of the expansions, and i think it still holds up well)

i am pretty much an exclusively eurogamer lol

not that i dont enjoy games with a healthy mix of theme and randomness with euro mechanics though (hey there galaxy trucker!)

ticket to ride is pretty intensely okay, i have fun with it sometimes but it annoys me how it's 98% passive card drawing until one person gets screwed by a route being built and gets to be salty for the rest of the game. it's fine, but as far as euros go, or even gateway euros, it's pretty low on the list

Do you enjoy games where you can form temporary alliances?


Noooo. The less political a game is, the more I like it. "Competitive solitaire" is usually used as a dig but a lot of my favorite games fall into that category to some extent, and that's probably a big contributing factor.


yup, i feel pretty much this way, unless it is really the crux of the game (like diplomacy or a good version of risk or something)

i dont mind games that are more silly filler but the problem with games like fluxx and exploding kittens is that there just isnt much game there once the novelty of discovering the different cards subsides.

compare to something like welcome to the dungeon which is really simple but has lots of juice to keep coming back to

i'm not gonna be the debbie downer who complains about these games i'm jumping into a group who likes em, but if i'm given the choice there's no way i'd ever play fluxx lol

(munchkin is on a level of badness on its own though - i legit won't play that game if offered)

yeah i dont think 7 wonders is too bad for learning, but there are still some people who collapse at the sign of any complexity or symbology and sushi go is an excellent game to bridge that gap while still being a good time

i was underwhelmed by boss monster - fits the typical american game mold where cards/characters are full of stats, there are too many unncessary rules, and the whole thing seems a bit strategically flat. c'mon now, ONUW is definitely better than that

colt express is a pretty good time though. the programmy element works well, and there's always that moment of comedy gold when somebody did exactly the wrong move at the wrong time

i think dead of winter is actually pretty bad but i really like both secret hitler and sheriff of nottingham lol

i get the complaints about secret hitler but as someone who's played (and loved) a boatload of games of resistance/avalon, the randomness/powers really help to spice up the game/provide information to new players, and keep a metagame from settling in too hard among a consistent group.
it's not better than resistance, for sure, but it has its place. it's not bad!

this is a bit late but portrait of ruin is a fine choice for best castlevania game

i think it's the standout ds castlevania, even though i'm the only one who is weirdly charmed by the boss sealing in dawn of sorrow (and therefore doesn't have that common complaint)

portrait is just very polished and sharp. maybe not quite as much character as dawn of sorrow, but then again, the level design of the non-castle areas is pretty sweet and distinguishes it from the rest of the series

plus old axe armor mode, what a treat :)

man, i'm not saying the editing is perfect, but if your complaint about cambodia is that we didn't get enough of abi, i don't even know what cambodia you were watching tbqh

(kimmi and kelly wiglesworth could've gotten more airtime for sure, but abi and keith had a perfectly resaonable amount of airtime and representation given their characters/stories/gameplay)

i personally don't subscribe to the argument that "gamebot" equals "no personality" - all that says to me is that the viewer in question can't pay attention to anyone who isn't over-the-top tbqh

like kim spradlin is super charming and appealing in everything survivor-related i've ever seen her in, and yet all people do is whine since one world is a crappy season and somehow that gets thrown on her

shrug, this is all big time ymmv stuff, but like i said i find that to be a pretty unsatisfactory argument against certain types of characters and i'd prefer "boring gamebots" to a super uneven edit that doesn't successfully follow the action of the season (hey game changers)

i strongly disagree

the edit in game changers made sure we didnt see most of the "personality" tbqh

cambodia was super fun and surprising to me - i respect that some people don't get excited by the gameplay-heavy stuff but that doesn't turn me off from certain personalities, so i still love me some spencer, ciera, etc
