Wow, thank you so much, I didn’t even think of standalone scenarios!

You guys bring the best reddit stories to lemmy! While you‘re at it, don‘t forget the guy who retold the whole desaster around World of Warcraft!

Yes, most of the time I play alone, 2p max. Is this game fun with more players? At the moment I don’t have a player group that would like such a long game, unfortunately.

Sigh, 50€ for an expansion is a lot of money, even if it’s cheaper than buying the mythos packs. But maybe I just budget and buy them a few month apart to save money.

Thank you for your ideas, I already live this community.

(Btw, I can’t see my own posts, and even this instance doesn’t show up in my descriptions, shit, even when I search for this community and find it, it doesn’t show my own posts. This fediverse stuff still feels a bit confusing to me…)

Thanks for your insight! Where can I read more about your proxy cards-idea?

Or the fantasy themed version Hero Realms! I slightly prefer this one, but both are great and you can try them for free.

I disn‘t think of this one! I should finally check it out at BGA.

Looks awesome but it can‘t be played with 2p, can it? Well maybe I just buy two games… Jaipur if we‘re two, sth like Archaeology, Startups,… if we‘re more. They all don‘t look very expensive.

Is there a version you can play with 2+ players? I know there‘s Duel (2p only) and the other versions (3+/4+).

Leute, in eurem Artikel steht‘s. Nennt es also bitte:

Paus (Grüne) will endlich etwas daran ändern, fordert 14Mrd. Lindner (FDP) bewilligt nur 2Mrd.

Ja, beide bilden die Regierung und damit versagt „DeR sTaAt“. Das sorgt allerdings für Politikverdrossenheit. Man sollte klar benennen, wer hier bremst. Das könnte hier auch alles ganz anders laufen, wenn die FDP nicht so mächtig wäre.

I love both of your recommendations, thank you! Kakerlaken Poker Royal seems to be a version you can play with or without the Royal cards. Maybe that‘s the one I‘ll get!

Huh? Privacy doesn‘t seem to be one of the best selling features, is it? Well, yes, you don‘t have to use your real name, but someone posted an article today, that not even private messages here are private.

Is there sth like Jaipur, that plays equally great with more players (but still great with 2)?

Oh, I forgot about that, thank you!

Roll & Writes: We didn‘t enjoy Cartographer, it didn‘t feel exciting for us. Ganz schoen clever was another suggestion, but we‘d prefer no dice.

5 Minute Dungeon is awesome, but I played it so many times with my kids that I can‘t stand it anymore. But great suggestion! I‘ll have a look into your other suggestions.

Take a look at Res Arcana! Everyone gets a small deck of cards, a few resources then u choose one of 2 (out of 8 different) mages and battle for the places of power in the middle of the table!

I switched to board games instead! There are so incredibly well designed and immersive board games now, that also can be played solo! Marvel Champions, Spirit Island, Arkham Horror The Card Game, just to name a few…

Sind denn alle digitalen Endgeräte gemeint? Regulierte Ipads für den Unterrichtseinsatz, Verbot von Smartphones wird mehr und mehr zum Alltag aktuell.

To the people who are wise in the way of the maths! What are we looking at here? I always wonder if there‘s a nice easter egg to find or is it just some random math stuff?

Let‘s start with Tankard - Space Beer!

Continue with a random song of their discography.

Well, it highly depends on how hard we try to stop climate change.

If you want a serious answer, read the IPCC report.

Unfassbar. Selbst wenn das der beste Verein der Welt wäre, muss man sich doch die Frage stellen: „Was müsste passieren, dass ich selbst aus diesem Verein austrete?“

Ja, und selbst wenn es der beste Verein der Welt ist, vielfacher Kindesmissbrauch UND SEINE VERTUSCHUNG ÜBER JAHRZEHNTE, ist so ein Grund, warum man selbst dem weltbesten Verein eventuell doch mal den Rücken kehren sollte.

Ajo, das kommt raus, wenn CDU, Springerpresse, FDP, Clickbaitmedien und fett bezahlte social media Accounts gemeinsam hetzen. 🤷‍♂️

All bean troll posts aside, it‘s one of my family favorites! With my kids I play it in coop mode to beat our own highscore.

The art is ugly af, but the design is awesome!

Wird Zeit für einen „politisch motivierte Straftat“-Einzelfallticker, insbesondere für die rechte Seite. Obwohl sich Nazis international organisieren, für den Tag X bewaffnen und Gewalttaten regelmäßig zunehmen, sieht die AfD Gefährdung für Kinder durch Transmenschen (statt durch die Kirche), Migranten für die Gesamtbevölkerung (statt Nazi Anschläge).

Ich hoffe, dass jeder einzelne Bericht über diese braune Propaganda die polizeiliche Kriminalitätsstatistik zitiert und die Lügen als solche benennt. Wenn man denen überhaupt für so eine offensichtliche Provokation Aufmerksamkeit schenken muss, auf die sie ja abzielen.

No, it’s not. You’re not an enlightened tolerant and rational human being by claiming both sides are equally at fault.

Just one example: I’d agree with you, if both sides would make equally as many false claims. But that's not the case..

It’s not “Only your side is bad and my side is good”. There ARE liars on both sides. But that shouldn’t lead to the conclusion that both sides are telling equally as much lies.

Why is that so important? Because you would totally miss out on the rhetorical tactics they use to push their agenda. Take Trump’s caravan, Hunter’s laptop, false election claims. All of them were lies, but had a massive impact. Show me equally as bad examples the Democrats use to push their narrative.

Also, you can check, if you are open minded or not with the help of something called falsifiability. Ask yourself:

1. What kind of proof would change my mind about this?
2. Is there substantial proof?
3. (Don’t) change your mind.

Because the Republicans are aggressively pushing this tribal culture war and it never should get normalized. They deserve to get called out on it.

Has any interviewer ever asked one of these guys, why Hunter, someone who‘s never been part of the government, is such a big problem, WHILE TRUMP GAVE HIS UNELECTED CHILDREN AND SON IN LAW ACCESS TO OVAL OFFICE JOBS, EVEN TO CLASSIFIED MATERIAL?

Sorry, if you don‘t see a problem there, you are brainwashed and should not be taken seriously.

Mia only uses two dice, I guess! But I never played Liar‘s Dice.

When I had to choose I thought .world means, it‘s the central, most important place to be. Didn‘t know what the other abbreviations meant. Didn‘t care.

From all available animals they chose the one that loves to destroy my board game sessions. Call him asshole, that‘s what it is.

Let them play Mia!

The loser has to drink a shot! Don‘t be fooled by the 5.9 rating, this game is easy to learn and offers a lot of tension. It mixes luck with social deduction and offers a great starting point for a bar fight.

All you need is a beer mat, a cup and two dice.

I personally love it! A few thoughts after 3 sessions:

• AH LCG is a highly immersive experience! You choose a character, pick up a deck with skills, events, items, and start reading the well written lovecraftian horror story snippets.
• The encounter deck, different characters, decks, slightly different events, scenarios (if you buy them) luck and your choose-your-own-adventure-decisions culminate in a high replayability.
• It feels like a roguelite with permadeath activated. It’s hard, every decision matters, usually luck is not on your side and you are happy, if you get out of a situation not dead or insane. These are the ways your character could get eliminated afaik.
• It ‘s playable solo with one or two characters (atm I prefer one). I can’t imagine bringing it to the table if you have guests over and want to have fun. I keep it for special evenings, when I want to get lost in a (non-digital) story.

Die Grünen versuchen umzusetzen, was dringend nötig aus wissenschaftlicher Sicht ist (und das übrigens noch nicht ambitioniert genug).

Die FDP schießt dagegen, weil Lobby, Wirtschaft und Karrierepolitiker sich freuen.

Die SPD/ der Kanzler hält sich eher raus.

Die CDU macht halt Oppositionsarbeit und schießt heftig gegen die Grünen mit Sprüchen, die von AfD kaum zu unterscheiden sind.

Springer Medien schießen heftig gegen die Grünen.

Die AfD wird legitimiert.

Danke für die Lovecraft Empfehlung!!! Ich höre gerade begeistert die erste Folge, die bei Apple mit Folge 153 startet, seltsamerweise…

I love people suggesting games I’m not familiar with!

But drag queens are making your children gay! /s

Honestly, we need more people and media who are able to visualize stuff like that. Especially the right loves to talk about, how sOcIaLiSm wants to pick your pocket and follows a communist agenda to benefit secret rich donators.

If I was a rich business man in the US (Koch) who funds corporate friendly politics and talking points, I’d laugh my ass off, how effective manipulation of the masses works.

Time for the good ol Lyndon B Johnson quote:

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

One of those games I owned a demo of, but was never able to control properly. But, boy, was it cool! As a kid I messed around with it, but didn’t see more than one or two levels.

I still think about it from time to time, that’s the lasting impression it had on me. I never imagined, there would be an update or remake!

Thank you for the memories!
