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?

I can;t even begin to tell you the deep visceral pleasures I felt the last time I played Parcheesi

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

sorry to be all PRACTICAL but twitter doesn't really archive stuff in the long term and whiney's twitter is kind of famous so maybe give him a break

why would whiney deserve a break on anything, ever
