Monopoly is such a boring game with bad mechanics. It is what people play if they do not know better and i know back then we had not many alternatives.
But if you play it nowadays you are missing out on some amazing boardgames compared to that. Settlers of Catan and Uno are very outdated aswell IMHO.
Guild Wars 2 as well. :)
Read a sentence about immortality in a shadowrun book decades ago.
Was something like: “Immortality would be hell for most people, since they dont even know what to do with themselves on a boring sunday afternoon.”
Maybe not so similar but more like Xcom is The last Spell.
Can highly recommend that and it is weird not many people are covering it.
Always reminds me of this classic: Total biscuit of the heart
Nice meme but please:
Thank you for the very informative link.
Did not know that.
I always try to avoid it but thanks to this list i at least know which company to trust about it a bit. Scorecard
Still wont buy anything from danone, mars or nestle tho.
It also has alot of palm-oil in it so it is another reason to avoid it.
It has lots of palm-oil in it, so it is pretty shit indeed.
Try guild wars 2.
You can play without completly downloading it.
Its f2p and you can explore all together, since every starting map gets unlocked no matter what race you pick at the start.
It is also very easy to learn and you can even outlevel each other if anyone wanna keep playing in private, since you get levelcapped depending what map you are in.
Brilliant game design all around and still one of the best multiplayer games out there IMHO.
It kinda is :The black cat
Solange es nicht mit handgranaten schmeisst, ist es glücklicherweise kein reenactement von Animal Squad.
Has any of the rapists or apologists in ubisoft had any repercussions yet?
Then i am not interested in their games anyway.
Ah well afaik there is no such thing but i started looking for hashtags of my hobbies and found some nice profiles.
After you follow a few of them you can look into the recommended tab and will see quite a few similar people.
Someone here also told me about LisaMelton. She will throw many cool things into your timeline if you follow her.
Im an idiotic old man who can barely repair my PC anymore and it was very easy to make an account here and on mastodon. Dunno what people are on about.
There is a discover people feature on my app at least.
I also kind of like it not to be bombarded with a useless algorithm just so i can doomscroll more. If you curate your feed with nice people and hashtags you get lots of traffic and if that gets too much you just make lists of topics within them.
The only thing i dislike about uncletopia is that they only seem play 5 maps over and over.
You have to join 5 casual servers in quickplay to not have bots and play the new maps. Valve should start working against them again if it is possible.
Weird how no one recommended Mastodon yet.
You can switch your profile to public and follow some nice people and hashtags, if anyone wants to check your vibe. All with you real name. It has become the good version of twitter for me and at least in europe many people are starting to use it.
Found mine in gw2 without spending money for a subscription.
First thing that always comes to mind is King of Tokyo. Everyone i have played that with wanted to play it again after it was done.
Even bought 3 copies over the years as gifts. Very fast, easy to learn and most importantly teach to young and old.
Tokaido is very chill but can be cutthroat like monopoly, if you want to get competitive with it.
Treasure Island, which is like Scotland Yard but with a treasure and a map you can draw clues onto. Kids love that one even when it can be a bit complicated for some.
We always play it as a team and as the bad guy you gotta nerf the clues a bit, because it is meant to be played against each other.
Speaking of teamplay, Pandemic is a well known puzzle classic for every collection.
Aswell as Dorfromantik, which is similar to the Videogame but just as good with some friends and family that likes endless puzzles.
As for good Cardgame alternatives there is Scout, which is way better than Uno IMHO and the newer Secret Tip i can give to everyone that is into CCGs, but do not want to buy endless Booster packs named The Vale of Eternity. Very tight and simple engine builder where you get a good Card game right out the box.
Got quite the large collection and know a bit about it so i hope it helps. Can also recommend the Shut up and sit down youtube channel, that highlights a lot of great games.
Cheers
