A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

MODERATORS
I recently noticed that 100% Orange Juice is actually getting a competitive scene, it seems.
It's a 4-player virtual board game where there's strategy involved in deck construction (one funny thing is that anyone can draw your cards so you have to choose carefully based on your choice of character and their special abilities), movement choices, understanding probabilities and other tactical decisions, and balancing risk/reward under uncertainty.
I used to be huge into the game but I haven't been following it for the past couple years or so.
The competitive 100OJ scene is a strange thing given how random this game is and how much your results are dependent on dice rolls, warp panel destinations and other random effects. You get many hilarious situations like rolling four zeroes or getting seagull'd in your face, but if you play it for wins, this can be pretty frustrating.
On the other side, this game is pretty chill and fun, has large userbase and doesn't require much clicks or reaction! So it's perfect for relaxing with friends in a voice chat on a hard day's night.
Yeah, 100% OJ is...interesting.
Though I'd say if you're beating 25% wins or so you're already doing above par. (Par may be slightly above that since CPU players tend to be stupid, though they may have improved the AI since I last played.)
