How Do We Fly This Thing
@hdwftt.bsky.social
Board games, and board game by-products.
Reminds me of a trend on TV tropes that resulted in forming the
Society for
Prevention of
Overly
Original
Names
or S.P.O.O.N.

It was a lighthearted critique of titles that didn't tell you anything about their contents. It kind of holds with these games, but maybe not ideal nine games later 😅

I can wholeheartedly recommend it. It has clean auctions that you want to strategically win AND lose, and very neat engine building. Try it as soon as you can ;)

I may be ten years behind the times, but I'm really getting into Kingdom Builder lately. Hopefully some Furnace, too, for a deep clean weekend.

Come to my house and play board games: Awkward and nerdy

Come to my cave and play board games: Mystical and folkloric

They don't see it like that.

Skiing trip is pretty gauche, tho 😜

Don't say you're not good at explaining, call it miscommunication as part of the game, people love ludo-narrative 😜

But seriously, that game sounds cool.

Meaning you are only receiving one opponents worth of attacks.

Otherwise, the game is very mobile, and the Zone system for ranged combat is clean and effective. Pinning and blocking ranged characters is possible, but takes work.

Maps that come in two-character boxes are for two players, most other boxes have an up-to-four player map.
The 3 player rules are typically FFA, with the only ganging rule affecting the first turn.
My preferred way to play with 3 is unofficial: you win if the player to your left is defeated.

Missed opportunity to have the Master of Disguise card for your Face off caption :P

It's fantastic at 2v2, making unpleasant matchups far more interesting. With the new Tales to Amaze set it's possible to do a five player free for all, but I think the pace thrives at smaller player counts.

Gotcha, thank you.

I keep hearing about this phenomenon.

Glass Road is a pretty major change of pace compared to his worker placement titles, but I adore it. The player interaction is pretty intense, and the semi automated resource system is delightful.

I'm new to the app, who should I follow?

Heat, Pedal to the Metal. It's been seeing a lot of action lately.
