That... actually sounds like an interesting idea for a board game
Isn't that basically Mouse Trap?
They're called "puzzles".
What does it says about everyone that agrees (me included) ? I would have fun with that and know at least another person who would.
Let me introduce you to jigsaw puzzles. They even come with a picture showing you exactly where every piece should go! :D
much too easy ! I'd prefer weirdly convoluted text and uncomprehensible images please. I was actually picturing a group of friends arguing over the rule book. Whoever succesfully argues for it's interpretation of it wins.
Ah, you're describing the 10k piece, monocolour, false fit, advanced version.
now, that sounds interesting !
Star Wars: Imperial Assault
I was gifted it and still haven't found a group willing to play. It's easier to get a SW5e party together, or Mothership
Campaign for Africa?
... shit, that's viable. You could make that fun and funny for real. Kinda like Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes, but in cardboard. And dice and tokens and string and clay.
Have an actual playable game after setup, but the game you play depends on how the pieces were actually setup. If you really screwed up, you play house rules Monopoly.
Yeah, like it's bugged. Rules don't work as-written because things aren't lined-up properly. There are no remaining cards in the yellow satchel because they're mismatched with the tile stacks. Rotating the dungeon panels traps a player because any correct alignment of doors is in NP-hard.
But once you've improvised that all cards get shuffled back in and one-sided walls don't count... you can walk to the exit in like two turns, right? We're gonna Any% this bitch.
Isn't Decorum basically "set up the board properly"?
Not sure I ever even played Mousetrap.
None of the rules mentioned in the article actually sound that convoluted (other than specific names I wouldn't remember). I've played worse.
I am looking at you nemesis.
A full fleet scenario for Star Fleet Battles would make this game look like tic-tac-toe.
Small book for a 2.5 hour setup. (25 pages)
Empyreal feels like it's a long of a setup, but it's not nearly that bad.
Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.
