Bashing on the new Zelda game?
Sounds fun

It isn't the lack of things to do, which turned me off it, but rather many of their game decisions - such as the ludicrous brittleness of weapons and the fact that Link can't swim 20 meters without running out of stamina and drowning.

And I haven't even played anywhere near enough to discover half the things which might potentially annoy me about that game.

(it is beautiful though, and the music is good - combat [whilst you have a weapon] is fun enough... it isn't a terrible game by any standards, just has some odd design choices here and there)

I'm kind of the black sheep of my group when it comes to that, I enjoy boardgames and love anime though :p
Which ones?

I've been banned from buying any more games until we move house - 'you have too many games and not enough time to play them' <- or some other BS

My wife doesn't realise that I am a hoarder and need to keep collecting random games to fulfil my filthy addiction to buying stuff I will never use...
:gwah

Why did I ever get the BotW discussion going? Every post about makes me sad I’ll probably never play it, even the negative ones.

At least I now I can finally play A Link Between Worlds. Never got round to it before my old 3DS was stolen but I will definitely do it soon.

I’m seeing crazy pictures of snow chaos on Facebook. A bit further north a mom took a picture of her daughter playing next to the lamp on a street light.

Oh, I played that one thanks to my sis and I surprisingly liked it a lot.
Its fairly easier than ALttP and I was sceptical about the thing of renting items but they did great with the mechanic of changing worlds and "melting" in the walls, the story was good too. :nod

It‘s really not something to grieve over Orgz. And even then, you‘ll eventually have time to play it and other good things which(hopefully) come to the Switch one day.

Hell, my son isn’t too far away from gaming age so sooner or later I’ll buy all the consoles and games saying they’re for him. :derp

Fair do's

My latest set of purchases have all been 'players vs game' - such as Dead of Winter, or Pandemic
[Really want to get hold of a copy of Gloomhaven - when it is sold widely and isn't like 200 euros...]

Though I am partial to quick party games like The Resistance, Secret Hitler, Coup, Love Letter - things which can be explained and played in 10 minutes [to give more time to argue and drink]

Any RPGs in particular?

It's not my business to advertise for others, but Farfy has been trying [ineffectually] to put together a VtM game, for some time now...

Oh boy! Where are you from again, Zim? Because I recently left my boardgame group and I'm desperately in search of a new one. :zomg

I love every game you just mentioned, although Secret Hitler is the only one I haven't played. :nod

My last purchase were the Code Names games, pretty standard but still a lot of fun.

From, or where am I currently?

Currently Austria, but dunno how long I will remain here
:invalid

It's kinda more of the same...

You enjoy the Resistance, you'll like Secret Hitler

Aye, I quite enjoyed Code Names when I played it - but, as I said, I like these games of deduction

Place of current residence. You know, where the authorities know where to find you.


Yeah, I've heard of it before. That's one of the reasons why I didn't buy it.

Code Names is enjoyable yeah, more the Dixit-kinda one, with the random images on it. That brings some hilarious results.

My favorites are Cosmic Encounter and Betrayal at House on the Hill. Those games are fucking epic. But the smaller games like Resistance got a lot of plays here too.

All started here with some Werewolves action, we were doing that on a (bi)-weekly basis for 10+ years. Group always stayed the same size (15-25), although people switched. But a year or 4/5 ago that came to an end, so wiht the leftovers we decided to switch to board games. :nod Unfortunaly I left the group for personal reasons too, which keep me from going back too. :(

Zimb I just remembered some older talks with you about some strategic/betrayal forum game you had in mind, but I guess you never had the time or dropped it.

The „whose post is it“ game was also really fun, when you have more time again one day consider hosting it again. This time with Lambu, Vand, Bia and others that came along since :zomg

Not played either - heard great things about Betrayal though

Large group you had there - we'd rarely have more than 10 people - probably why we didn't do werewolf much
That and it's fun to switch it up and not play the same thing week in week out
(cause, with that many people, few games you can play without having to split into smaller groups)

Still want to at some point

But far, far, too busy at the moment

That, and I tried to think up some suitably simplistic rules (so everyone knows what is happening) and none were really as good/simple as I hoped

Possible - but if so, perhaps with a limit on the number of people.

It may be enjoyable, but it's a bit of a bitch to run

How many people would be a good size for it? And how many questions/rounds?
I remember only the 2nd one I played. Was that a good size or still too many? And was the problem that people take too long to send in answers, counting the points, or the game length?
I also remember you had some problems with how to run it with more players last time and put up a poll which resulted in 3 questions per round. You had everyone send in 1 question to use them all for the game, but maybe it’s better to use only some of them you pick. The ones you think would be best/most fun maybe. This way you could limit the number of questions/rounds and with that the game length.
