Socially Afflicted - how people affect gameplay experience (Topic Discussion) 11:34

8h ago11:34

11:34

As I was listening to an episode of the Ludology podcast recently, one focused on games and health, I started to think about how much the people we play with influence our gameplay experience.

Regular Games - benefits of playing the same game with the same people (Topic Discussion) 11:25

2d ago11:25

11:25

As my board game collection grows, the chances of the same game being played regularly decrease. As a reviewer, that's fine, because I'm here to play new games and critically evaluate them. However, it's also sad that more and more of my games just sit there on the shelves unplayed, while the latest, shiny game barely lands before it makes it to th…

Lantern lifted, I stepped into the Crimson Cavern where a Tawny Steppe Wyvern crouched over a cache of meat and a single gleaming amethyst.

It was like herding cats. As soon as you put one kitten down, the two nearest to it moved further away. The same when you tried to add a cat to the bundle of feline fluff. Some of the cats and kittens even decided to jump off the quilt completely. It was impossible to get everyone on there at the same time. What was cute though, was how each cat an…

Balance in board games is one of those much-talked-about topics that keeps cropping up.

Board games are often seen as a way to bring people together. They're a social activity, even for solo gamers.
