Back to Today's Deal

Board game night

#254

A good free (and kind of ridiculous) chess app on iPhones (maybe android, I’m not sure) is called Really Bad Chess. It’s fun to mess around with.

#255

Tabletop Sim’s Chess has an upside and a downside.

The upside is that as a physics sandbox, you can heavily modify the setting, introduce timers or other quality of life changes that you want.

On the other hand, as a physics sandbox the rules are only what you implement/can police yourself, the game doesn’t stop you from just moving pieces out of turn or making illegal moves, though the rewind feature can help to fix these things.

#256

The lichess app is pretty nice if you have an Android.

#257

You tell me. Check your PMs. :hugs:

They both have animation. Here’s another one with animation.

If you want the one I sent, @Danacscott, let me know…it’s called Grand Master Chess 25.

Edit: I left out the other one i found with animation…

#258

Then that’s likely better for people who know the game pretty well and won’t do silly things. :slight_smile:

Found it. Multiple bishops and stuff? Man it must be hilariously to play. Might actually try it. :stuck_out_tongue:

Will do. :heart:

#259

That is very true, I use tabletop simulator for roleplaying games and find the exact same rules apply.

It is a very user friendly tool though.

#260

When you want to play Gremlins with your Chronies but everybody just has Ticket to Ride in their mind

thanks for the games though, was fun :slight_smile:

#261

i, was, so, close… :weary:
awesome explosive win you made tho :+1:

#262

What? No Fraggles domination today? :stuck_out_tongue: Seriously, glad you guys had fun. :sunny:

#263

I have almost never dominated in Gremlins. I get about half ways to victory and then Vandem and Coraline collectively focus on dicking me over and completely forget about each other leading to one of them to sneak in the win. : )

Not this time though, this time I just sucked the entire game and accomplished nothing of value.

#264

Your company is something of value, so thanks for joining us.

And can confirm: @Vandem and I are like an old married couple :joy:

REALLY heading to bed now after some chamonile tea. Enough shenanigans for me, for now. Was fun playing with you guys, I needed that. :hugs:

#265

Tomorrow, all things willing I would really like to try to play the new 100% Orange juice co-op mode with you all. It has some rather interesting synergistic aspects I’d like to explore.

I hope someone else is interested in trying that out.

#266

count me in this weekend for that :+1:, was going to ask before we got up from the table earlier but slipped my mind

#267

Count me in as well. :+1:

Reach me on Riot about that when you decide the time, @Fraggles. I’ll be around morning and afternoon, going out at night.

#268

A generous soul gifted me Mysterium and I’d love to try it out with some Chronies. So if any of you have time to play on the weekend or in the near future, just let me know when you’ll be available :slight_smile:

#269

I talked with @Fraggles few weeks + ago to try to organize Mysterium learning party and what not around the weekends, but unfortunately I don’t have free weekends for I can’t remember how long by now… How are you guys feeling about week days about 22 CEST? I guess the upcoming friday evening I will be free… but my schedule changes every day :frowning:

#270

@onLooSe around 4 pm (my time) on Fridays should work okay for me.

#271

22 CEST = 2000 UTC
4pm @Danacscott = 1600 EDT = 2000 UTC
For those who may be confused.

#272

oops Yes, I’m in the Caribbean - forgot to mention that. :smile:

#273

Might be free then, but I also might be moving again. I’ll keep you guys updated as the time gets closer.
