I really wonder what Asmodee is up too.
The best overall design.
#Star Wars Imperial Assault . The way they refined an already sweet dice mechanic earns my full respect.
Your best memories
#Axis & Allies classic: same set of friends after each period of exams.
Best cover art
#HeroQuest (original)
The best euro
The best quick game (30m or less)
The first game you loved
#Hotel Tycoon (formerly known as "Hotel")
The best game you can can fit in your pocket.
A set of poker dice
The most immersive experience

Close call between #Ticket to Ride: Europe and Earthworms :)
Your favourite components

The 'to put it politely, I can't fathom how anyone can enjoy this' award
haven't encounter anything yet that has no significant target audience in my eyes.
My son and I recently houseruled #Hotel Tycoon (our version is still called "hotel").
We changed some values on the deeds for less popular hotels, making them more interesting to invest in.
We plan do integrate new stuff like event cards etc as well.
We used to have some houserules for #Axis & Allies (1984 version) which mostly came from misunderstood rules :D
Since the newer versions, that is no longer an issue.
sometimes houserules are prposed by visitors bring a certian game. the use of it is always discussed before starting the game. No issues so far!
They should hire me to rework #Hotel Tycoon
I'd buy it for sure :)
Back in my day, it was called "Hotel"
TIL that #7 Wonders Duel has an official solo mode: https://print-and-play.asmodee.fun/7-wonders-duel/
Guess I know what I'm playing next time I want to solo something...
You mean Asmodee doesn't own everyone yet? Maybe a couple more months....
I too was wondering about that Asmodee situation in regards to the rankings. I mean FFG and zman are both owned by Asmodee.
I pretty always impulse buy if I find a game in a charity shop, if I don't know the game I will usually google it and if it has an average rating above a 6.5/10 and the theme/mechanics appeal I will usually take it, I always figure that if I get one game out of it, even if it is laughably bad then it is worth the £2-£5 I pay for it.
Winners from Charity shops have been: #King of Tokyo (great gateway game), #Gloom, #War on Terror (hilariously satirical, a better version of risk), #Once Upon a Time: The Storytelling Card Game (just a wonderful group activity)
Games that I have only played once or twice and then passed on: #Smash Up (liked it but realised it just wouldn't get played much), #Game of Thrones: The Card Game (again, it wasn't bad, but wasn't looking to get into a CCG) #Munchkin (similar story, not good enough to see regular play, knew a friend of mine would enjoy it a lot more)
I have occaisionally been suckered in on a great deal on Ebay, I am now much more discerning but when I first had disposable income, I was picking up any interesting looking games if I felt I was getting a good deal. I buy most of my games second hand, but the following are games I didin't search for and just came across.
Winners: #The Grizzled (so good and bought for like £2, a small co-op which I haven't found many of), #Choson (set collection with a bunch of take that, quick but wonderfully tactical, aslo bought it for £1.20 so can't complain), #Supervillain: This Galaxy Is Mine! (stayed on my shelf of shame for a long time, one I will write about this week)
Losers: #The Staufer Dynasty (I really need to give this another chance, but it was just a little dry first time around)
I think I go through phases of a particular theme/mechanic really appealing. However, Asymmetry is a massive pull for me, and any kind of deck/engine building being incorporated, or just generally upgrading your faciont/character, this doesn't have to be the core mechanic, but I like to growth in a game.
Claustrophobia: Furor Sanguinis
Hours of dark times and adventure to balance against the tribulations of the outside world.
Haven't played but seemed promising: #Fresco
That’s for sure an interesting concept, and the quality of game it is mentioned in the post is one reason why I like most Asmodee games. Typically seems like Anne you can trust seeing on a game. I don’t think this game would be for me however.
I ran a Catan National Qualifier. We had 16 participants. It was really fun to watch the competition. People were stoked to play in it and the prize support from Asmodee was great. The winner is going to go to Columbus for the finals with a chance to win a trip to worlds on Malta!
Someone else at the con borrowed and played my fully painted and blinged Scythe.
I got to play Silver and Gold, Medieval Academy and It's a Wonderful Life
