Inspired by Jürgen Mayer I took this quiz about my “boardgaming profile,” despite not being much of a board gamer, just to see. Interesting, I guess.
Not so sure about the games they recommended, though. Lots of co-op card games and a Wild West dungeon crawl. The latter us very much not me, but maybe I’ll look into this a bit more.
I’m like the opposite of Mark.

Yeah, their recommendations didn’t fit me, too, mainly because of their themes, which is one of the most important things for me (after gameplay).

Laurie and I played Shadows Over Brimstone and, although not a genre we normally go for, we really enjoyed it. We were wrapping up our second game when Connor came in and expressed surprise that we were still awake at 4:15am. We didn’t even realize it had gotten that late.

Kelly Johnson That’s one hell of an endorsement!

It’s definitely worth trying. There are some issues I would have if I bought it. Like needing to assemble the miniatures. With plastic mini tech as it is I shouldn’t have to glue multi-piece plastic minis together. Yet we’re still considering purchasing it. Our friend doesn’t want to lug all the stuff to our house and our desire to play will probably drag us out of the house to game for the first time in 15 years (other than Gameday).

I was torn on some questions here, ’cause I’m cool with teamwork as long as
someone else gets to lose! But a “victory” over the game itself feels like
a rather hollow achievement…
On a more positive note, I’ve been heading to a bunch of board-game
Meetups here in town! Definitely my scene.
