@Marky_X_ They really enjoyed it, especially how picking roles worked. They only played the base game, they were intimidated by the adv. roles. I didn't hear a ton of their discussions, I was moving around the room checking on others. Lots of laughter and yelling from that corner though.

Usually simple card games get universally panned and disliked on BoardGameGeek So I'm surprised to see this

@Marky_X_ I'm still holding out hope that DC United somehow gets fulfilled... Feels less likely every day. At least I'm only in it for the base game and not getting burned for hundreds of dollars. Definitely not backing another CMON game, not sure any reasonable person would.

How is this company allowed to do this considering the dozen projects that haven't been fulfilled yet ?

@Marky_X_ I think the more round shapes of A are a lot more appealing than B. I prefer B for the Strong man character cause I think it fits his personality better. The female characters from A look more appealing than B though imo.

More game design class, forcing my video game students to play some table top games!

@Elev8edBrdGames We love Melodice, my wife is always browsing it looking for music while I set up. It really adds to the enjoyment of the game. I find I especially appreciate cozy music while playing a cozy game like Cafe Baras with some nice lounge music.

Am I the only one who finds ambience music to match the board game I’m about to play?

@Marky_X_ It's wild a game of that size wouldn't have a plan in place for the First Time User Experience. If I had a nickel for every time I'd hear the acronym FTUE thrown around every studio I've worked at. Need to create a large install funnel to account for player churn.

"Onboarding" is the proper term but yes, this is a major problem if you plan becoming widespread. There is nothing wrong with catering to a niche, but that's all you will cater to without proper design and planning in place.

Marathon's design lacks an 'on-ramp' for casual players to become hardcore. Unlike Destiny 1's success, Marathon offers no path for growth, potentially alienating a huge audience. This design flaw hinders its viability as a live-service game. #Marathon #GameDev

@Marky_X_ No licensed vehicles, image shows what's clearly an Audi R8 but don't call it that, haha. Whole game is full of cars like that. It's not a bad little racing game, reminds me of old arcade racers like Top Gear 2000. Crazy they can just take away paid games like this.

@ISODAK_NA Yeah, I really want to like Space Base, I just don't. I feel it usually out stays it's welcome also and just tends to drag. I'd much rather play Bad Company or My Farm Shop. Though It's still in my collection for some reason haha.

@GameSliceShop Yes, exactly! The charge spaces with different player counts confused us in multiple plays of it. And even once we figured out how they worked, most weren't that interesting.

Ever since I discovered the "roll & activate" genre, I thought they'd be perfect for me & family. However, Machi Koro was a big disappointment. Space Base was only ok for me (group liked it). Card Kingdoms was better, but still not quite there. Bad Company hits the sweet spot!

I've been really wanting to play some RTS games lately. I used to love playing Warcraft 2/3 and Starcraft back in the day. Are there any great modern RTS that have a similar feel??

I clicked on and liked several indie Steam games that I saw and now my timeline is full of awesome looking indie games. Thank you, algorithm!

@Mr_Husky1 My daughter says Pepperonis as "Brock-a-knees". I have no idea where she gets it from, but now we say it so casually as if that's what it always was.

Admit it: Your kid mispronounced a word three years ago and now the whole family says it that way. What's the word in your house? (We still say 'pasketti' and I’m not stopping anytime soon.)

@Marky_X_ Dang... That's crazy. I wish they had better customer service, maybe they could invest some money in that? I had an issue with one of my games from them, and they essentially took 3-4 days to write back "kick rocks".

@Marky_X_ Yeah but if I *don't* buy this, I'm basically losing $465 dollars. I bet you didn't even consider that.

@Marky_X_ Studios just completely paralyzed, unable and unwilling to take even the slightest risk. Games cost way too much to make now, can't afford a flop, and even with a hit every one gets laid off anyway.
