|OT| Digital Boardgaming - Alone in good company

[Li Kao]

I have nothing to say. Zero. Zilch. So much so that it's embarassing. It's an OT for fuck's sake !

Maybe... video games are usually not that social, but when you feel a little alone you can always play a digital boardgame ! So you don't have to go out, face natural light, and socialize. Who has time for that ?
...well ok, I can't push the joke further, I'm getting old and soft

In truth, board games in person are a treat, farrrrrrr better than digital, and if you feel alone go talk with us here
But there are time where digital boardgames are cool too. This is why you should play with this wonderful community

[PossiblyPudding]

Yay! Glad to see you made the thread. Great work! [UWSL][/UWSL]

I'm a pretty big board game fan but rarely have enough folks around to play a lot of them so getting some new ideas for digital ones will be a big help.

Pretty excited to hopefully play some of these in the future with all of you. [UWSL][/UWSL]

I would kill for a Culdcept steam game.

Also random but the new Risk version in steam is really good like scarily good.

 

[Li Kao]

Totally planned to make a second post about the bundle, then being overly critical of the finished thread I forgot about it.
I’m glad the thread seem to please you people

 

[Snakethesniper]

Hey! Nice OT! You might wanna add aeon's end on the deckbuilding part, also on sale right now
And One Deck Dungeons

Thanks !
They were part of the first selection but cut because I feared the OT would become awful looking with too many games. That being said I will gladly add them

 

[BO7AMMOOD]

Fantastic work Li Kao ! Very well organized OP with plenty of cool recommendations. I've always liked board games but I've been getting even more and more into them over the past few years. I especially appreciate digital board games since they're way more convenient than their physical counterparts! These are some more suggestions for the thread even if they might be a little too vanilla

 

[Li Kao]

You know I seriously considered Uno, I have a soft spot for it since the xbox live version.
And Meta-Coop has played several Cluedo games, paging BlindRhythm

Should I include them in the Op ? What do you say guys ? My only fear is having an OP too packed, but I have nothing against good old vanilla games on the other hand. Maybe a ’Family games’ category.

That was something I struggled with in the co-op thread as well. We got so many great recommendations that I had to switch to the Google Sheet format.

Which if you'd like I could give you access to that Sheet and add a couple new tabs specifically for board games that you're welcome to edit anytime.

But to answer your question, yeah I think it would be great to add those as well. They're all classics and Clue and Uno are two that I still love to play fairly often. Though I won't say no to a round of Monopoly, Life or Battleship either.

 

[Li Kao]

Done

BTW I was checking steam reviews to push me over the edge and buy the bundle, and I swear every time I look at an Asmodee adaptation there are a million bug complaints. Unfortunate that they are one of the big players in the physical landscape and a major source of digital games
Buggy Carcassonne, they must pay their dev in Monopoly money.

 

[Li Kao]

Moved Blood Rage from Upcoming to Recent.
Looked at steam reviews, it's a joke, classic Asmodee.

That's interesting!

I'm in the mood people. Refresh the thread ? Create a physical boardgame thread ? Or do nothing and sulk ? SO.MANY.POSSIBILITIES !

PS. Is there a way to know what game was linked after Spirit Island ? I'm triggered.

Yup, Agricola, Pandemic and Dream Home.
Bummer.

 

[SaberVS7]

Any takes on Crimesight here?

 

[Li Kao]

Any takes on Crimesight here?

Nope. For what it's worth Steam Reviews are Very Positive, but the price tag is a tad high for something I'm not sure how you play. And I'm not the biggest Clue fan, so I really need to see good feedback.

 

[OSatan]

All this years and still no Mage Knight digital adaptation

 

[Li Kao]

Someone should do a digital / analog board game thread

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

My housemate wants to borrow my "Dock" from my Steam Deck so he can try his Tilt5 with it.


Also, sorry for the hijack Li Kao but i think this might fit here better than elsewhere? Might report in Steam thread for visibility tho.

WTF, I don't care ! You are more than welcome ! So rare to see someone venture outside of the Steam Thread, into one of my aging shitty thread even !

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

This is the Tilt5 i was talking about. My housemate was a backer on Kickstarter and it's been a bit of a trek, there's still some QA & Comms issues to solve but he has the kit he bought at last. It's pioneered by Jeri Ellsworth who is mostly famous for spending some time at Valve working on hardware there.
