Board game night

I’m too busy today suffering from great pain in my wisdom teeth, wich happens to be poetic justice since I have no wisdom at all.

And I have no games on that list.

But I’m up for it for this sort of thing in the future! I have no idea tabletop.Sim was a web in the first place so I will look into it. I always liked board games wich require some wits, from pictionary-like games to more strategic/pokerish games like Magic the gathering and so on.

Are you gonna stream it? for people who don’t want to play and just want to watch your amazingly awful performance.

my broadcast is already open for friends on steam :wink:

anyone can watch my things anytime :wink:

I just don’t have a mic so im not streaming properly… yet… :open_mouth:

steam has a neat little broadcast message system where watchers can chat and it pops up on my screen, Its nice.

We had some good fun playing 100% Orange juice and we’re now past reasonable bed time for our European friends. Thanks to everyone who showed up, even if we didn’t end up managing to play anything together this time.

I’m going to take a break for lunch and a bit and if there’s anyone left awake and wanting to play Gremlins or Ticket to ride, let me know.

Don’t really have any of those games on steam, but this is something I think I’d like to join in with in the future. Are you using the board games directly through their digital versions on Steam (is there such a thing?) or downloading them through the Steam workshop for TTS?

As you could have seen by the links I put into the original post the games are their own standalone games, they’ve been bundled pretty cheaply a good handful of times over the years. Most recently about two weeks ago here on chrono.gg.

Tabletop sim does have a lot of good stuff on it both for purchase and for free so I’m certainly keeping that around as an option. But it’s far less hassle to play one of the stand alone games I have.

can totally recommend people try this game night stuff out with chronies :hugs:
had a really fun evening with @Fraggles, @Truly, @kylehayman361 and @snake153
(who knew orange juice entailed very little actual juicing, and so much star dropping and candy stealing) :wink:
looking forward to trying more/diff games another time too :+1:,

seems like it could be very worthwhile to keep an eye out for when those games might get bundled or discounted if you don’t already have some :blush:

PS, Ticket to Ride is really fun too, definitely recommended :+1:, another evening well spent :blush:

I keep telling people this. I think the game is a lot of fun and it gets better the more you understand it. I hope to get you all together again for this another time.

I have all the DLC to the game and I believe only the host needs to own them, so I think we can play on all the other maps once we all understand the basics.

Again thanks to everyone who joined me this evening.

Sorry for being MIA last night, somehow drinking all saturday resulted in the lack of a sunday.

Makes sense. I just knew a lot of those games also have versions through TableTop Sim so I just wasn’t sure what was being used. I have friends who will basically use it exclusively.

My backup computer is dead again to I’m relegated to a little 25gig notebook, so unfortunately I’m out for a while as far as games go.

i’m gonna float a time to see if people might be interested avail there for some board jam
Sunday Movember 4th around 7 or 8pm CET (19.00/20.00) ?

can’t really say how my friday/saturday is going to turn out yet. So not really eager too “commit” to something ahead of then, but can potentially be available saturday tho perhaps with a late-last minute notice, -if someone was doing a game there :thinking:

I’m certainly up for it. Don’t think I have anything pressing that needs doing on Sunday evening and I should be free by 1900.

Most of these board games will run on any decently advanced pocket calculator, I’m pretty sure if you computer boots it’ll run most of them.

Well then. I might just be able to join!

I’ll give it a try and let you guys know.

I was gifted 100% orange juice so I can join for that. But I kind of don’t keep up with things too great so just message me on steam if we are playing and that might work better for me. But, I haven’t been using steam too much and it kind of just sits there so I might pop in occasionally. Whatever happens, happens.

Actually had heaps of fun today playing 100% Orange Juice and Gremlins with @Fraggles, @Gnuffi, @Vandem and @kylehayman361 . I was dying of laughter pretty often because Gremlins is the most unforgiving board game on God’s green Earth and you guys are some funny dudes :joy:

I hope to do this again and to play with more of you! You guys are awesome – and I’m mean as all hell, aparently :smiling_imp:
