would you say the clatter of the bones against felt or tabletop is a visceral pleasure? and there's that breathless moment when everything settles and you're reading the result?

how can something clatter against felt
― Tal Berkowitz - Vaccine advocate (DJP), Tuesday, 6 September 2011 18:22 (twelve years ago) link
like, what is on that felt to make the dice clatter
gross
yeah i played a couple of games of it just to get a feel at a boardgames night, got creamed tbh.
the board game that im kinda an evangelist for atm is puzzle strike, which uses cardboard chips instead of cards and is loosely based on the mechanics of 2d fighters. its super replayable and surprisingly deep but also p dense, theres only a small amount of luck involved so it can be a frustrating game for new players
― Lamp, Tuesday, 6 September 2011 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
i havent really been feelin dominion ,seems like theres not enough interaction w/ other players compared to e.g settlers of catan? but then maybe i need an expansion pack or something else

it doesnt get really good till you start using the attack cards and then its SUPER fun--i dunno i can see it being something youd burn out on unless you were constantly expanding
still no settlers but lets be real--what is
