Board game night

Yeah thanks everyone for accommodating my delightful time zone.
Don’t worry about being late @coralinecastell , we just wanted to make sure you saw the message so we follow through on the official rules.
Learning the rules especially page 2, paragraph 4, item 2 was great. I especially enjoyed that play on about round 5 where I took 200 dollars and 3 cogs from you followed by promptly sending you to jail even though I could have spread those penalties out… ah the memories.

OK, so I tried it. Really enjoyed the game, so much content to read and understand though. You really need to play it regularly to get the most out of it.

Oh and the winning music is probably worth the price of entry alone!

Edit: In case you haven’t heard it

Thanks so much for your reply, I’ve heard only good things for Forbidden Island and Splendor, I haven’t tried those 2 which I know for sure I would love to learn and play.

I sincerely suggest give Tabletopia a play if you can (on Steam), it’s free, over 600+ games with smart AIs too. lots of Solo games. I purchased Wingspan DLC, have not subscribed to Tabletopia yet. I recommend Everdell on Tabletopia (Everdell is free, the rules are super easy to learn), or Crystallo, it’s beautiful.

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. :slight_smile:

I know I am super late, I am terribly sorry. Onitama is a super good game for my android phone (I have not tried multi-players for online, but the AIs are just fine as I love solo). It’s very thoughtful and in my opinion better than Chess as its light. Free to download on Google Play store

Big appreciated hug for the reply. No worries on the lateness - absentedminded squirrels can’t throw stones you know? Hee hee.

I’ll have to see if that’s available for iPhone as well. Tabletopia sounds intriguing. Thanks for the tips. ^^

You hast it on Steam only? Also not sure about this weekend, my Fridays wring me out, so perhaps evening my time would work. Never played the game before either.

I would really like to try to play Between two castles with you guys and hoping that someone might be interested in trying it out tomorrow.

It is a pretty interesting setup for a game because while it is ultimately competitive the only interaction you have between players is cooperative. I would recommend having a go at the tutorial once before we all play but it isn’t very hard to pick up and the start of the game is pretty forgiving of mistakes.

The basic concept of the game is to build castles using tiles picked at the start of each round. You build 2 castles cooperating with one other player for each castle and at the end of 8 rounds (I think) your lowest scoring castle is the one compared to the rest to declare the winner. Due to this there is no reason to try to screw anyone over, focusing your efforts on one castle and trying to sabotage one of your competitors only ruins your own chances.

It is probably going to be a pretty slow game so bring plenty of patience as each round might drag out while everyone ponders which tiles to pick and where best to place them.

I will be available from early EU mornings through to early hours of the afternoon, I’d be happy to play it with several different groups depending on when people are available, latest I’d like to start however is about 13:00 CEST.

We’d need at least 3 players total, I hope to see some of you around.

Dude I’ve a 3 day headache - maybe blood pressure being weird or something, idk. I’ll see if I can manage it… just want to sleep, but the thoughts won’t shut off either, lol.

Hello everyone !:slight_smile:

So i’ve recently got my hands o Armello ( thanks to our lovely squirrel for a trade ) , got few matches in to get a sense of what this game is and now i’m thinking maybe some of you would want to play together some time? I was already contacted by @Evranu expressing her interest in playing Armello together sometime so we still sort of have 2 spots open .

Anyone would be interested?

Yeah sure I’d be happy to lose to @Evranu in Armello a couple of times.

Depends when you want to do it but I may be able to join as well

YAY! Armello! :heart:
@Fraggles, you won a couple of games too! :wink:
Can’t wait to play with you guys! Are we going to use a voice chat?

Probably on a weekend , maybe this upcoming one? What’s your time zone ? Because me,ev and frags are pretty much from the same time zone.

@Evranu @Fraggles one who is going to be losing here is me :smiley: i only have couple of hours in so far.

I am in Australia but I have played games with Fraggles before, its just super early in the morning for me. Let me know, or if someone else wants to play thats fine.

Don’t you worry, there’s loser spots for all of us. In fact only one player gets to win, the rest of us probably gets executed for treason.

So I am in a pretty good situation to play almost at any time of day right now. Does Saturday EU evenings work for everyone? If we want to try to get @PeteMCC in then we might want to start earlier in the afternoon so if something like 14:00-16:00 CEST works for everyone else would that seem reasonable to you? If not then let me know how early you think is reasonable to wake up instead and we’ll see about a later evening time for us.

Saturday is pretty much okay for me at any time of day since i often choose to chill on Saturdays at home playing games and then take care of stuff on Sunday.
