Re: "Rigged?"

I wouldn't take this personally, I think between sore losers and the human tendency to see patterns in noise, and poor understanding of probability, I've seen this reaction in a ton of games that have some random element. I don't know if you know what VASSAL is, but it's an open-source, very simple ...

Re: BGA AWARDS 2025: VOTE NOW! (And discover new games)

Having to play all games in a category is a great idea, but it really doesn't work well with only having a 10 day voting period. Some of us mostly play turn-based, and we really need the time to be able to play the games we're missing (and actually learn the rules for some of the heavier games. (I'm...

Re: Playing Dinner in Paris

I hate to pile on, but I have 2 more interface gripes. 1. Most of the score is tallied as you go, but the majorities aren't calculated until the end. With the large number of points in the game, this wasn't clear, and made the ending of the game quite a surprise. We weren't counting for the majoriti...

That's really disappointing to read, but thanks for the link.

This game desperately needs an undo function

We were just learning the game and the lack of undo made it absolutely infuriating for both of us. There's no new information revealed mid-turn, or reason you shouldn't be able to redo your turn like in many other games. And the game is so short that this feels extremely punishing.
