That shop is awesome! Gratz on the good buys. Before my bestie and Chrono family, only board I really knew was snakes and ladders, lol.
Physically, we have Forbidden Island and Splendor.
Digitally, I have 100% Orange Juice, Love Letter, Ticket to Ride and Mysterium. Don’t own Tabletop Simulator, but it does look like it’d be really good to have. It’s usually on sale for $20 in my currency and really, I’d rather stash that and get Devil May Cry 4 or 5 at some point.
Really happy with all I own for board game night. Only one never played is Mysterium.
PS: Anyone know of a good multiplayer Chess game I can bookmark? I’d enjoy learning to play properly if I had a willing and patient soul to play it with me.
matches never take long so if I’m online I should be able to play.
shoudn’t really have been a problem though I thought, I had an iphone5 recently (also a hand me down) and that played dragon ball legends for 3 months.
There’s countless sites for playing chess online, ranging in levels of seriousness, running in browser or using their own clients.

I used to think I enjoyed chess for a while, back when I just messed around playing against my sister and complete novice friends. Then I played against someone who actually played seriously, studied the game and knew a bunch of stuff and I realized how big a difference there was there. Also realized I would never be arsed to put in the dedication to even start getting better and figured I’ll just stick to video games. : )
Nope! Nah way. Just for fun - remembering a million and one openings is likely not for me.
I’ve been to the 1st link already - it’s where I was re-learning the rules etc. Kyle had said he didn’t know about sites being “secure”. Not sure what he meant.
I do have one on my PC that i can send you…It’s old too. I am not sure it will play on Win10; it does play on Win7. But it does have different pieces/boards plus you can play 2 people/ or Network/Lan or the AI. But I can’t find the rules…Which is strange.
Cool. Thanks! It’d be worth a try. Perhaps that compatibility mode option will help?
Chess and giggling. Fun times.
No kidding! The different styles of pieces and environments is such an awesome idea too. Baby steps though - want to learn play properly again, lol. The game is pretty new, so no sale there for a while.
Dunno. Even if there is a demo, it may not include all the features. Good question.
Also, I remember that graphic! Gee, haven’t seen that in a while.
Did find some apps that my pauvre iPhone can run. Got to try them out on the morrow. Tonight I did some more crafty stuff and then practiced 100% Orange Juice and Love Letter a bit.
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.
Only one never played is Mysterium.
