    @JasonOshinko 16 дней назад

    I enjoy simultaneous action games because more players doesn't necessarily mean a longer play time. In my experience, if multiple players achieve a goal in the same turn, they all get it. That sounds like a design flaw if a game lets the faster player steal a bonus away from everyone.

    • @blackboardgaming5348
      @blackboardgaming5348 16 дней назад

      @JasonOshinko that was my problem with Earth. If I remember correctly, if all players get the bonus on the same turn, the active player gets the biggest bonus, and the other players going clockwise receive the lesser bonuses. Also, I enjoy watching the other players' strategies play out.

    3 of a Kind looks right up my alley. I'll be checcking that out. As far as recommendations: Tapple and Paperback are strong party games for traditional groups. Heavier word nerds would likely enjoy Illiterati. Also, if you can find a working copy, I'd also strongly recommend Electronic Scattergories. It fixes the problems of the regular editions by having far more categories, randomization of categories, and mixing up gameplay.

    I love dice in games so much, even though I’m not very good at rolling them. My top two, right now, have to be Dwellings of Eldervale and Wayfarers of the South Tigris. Dwellings uses them in such a unique way in their combat, that makes every fight so much fun, and so suspenseful. In Wayfarers, I absolutely LOVE your little “cart” where you’re assigning certain icons and whatnot, to specific values of dice. Both are so clever and so fun. Thanks you two!!
