Lies of P! I just killed the second-to-last boss, and oh boy was it tough. That game is absolutely amazing, and has surpassed pretty much every expectation I had of it.
I've also been playing a fair bit of Deep Rock Galactic, which is always a delight!
That's a really great redesign! I love that you managed to keep the original symbolism in there while dramatically simplifying things and making an overall more satisfying flag.
As a Marylander, however, I am now legally obligated to stab you through the chest with a live crab. π
Seconding 6 Nimmit! It's also called Take 5, depending on the edition. It's my go-to intro game for non-board-game-y people.
It's cheap (~$15 USD), super quick to explain, played in ~5 minute rounds, and people can hop in and out of it really easy. Honestly, the ideal lunch game.
Create: Astral! I wanted to play Create: Above and Beyond with a friend, but it hasn't been updated for the latest version of Create. It's been a really great pack so far -- I love how much effort the devs have put into it.
Definitely AE2 with channels! I think it's a really fun logistics challenge, especially once you figure out P2P tunnels. It also makes it so much more satisfying once you get things working
Hey! Nice to see a fellow Mint user. I finally made the switch from Windows a couple of months back, and oh man did they make a great distro! It's so nice that everything just works right out of the box.
I've been absolutely loving a couple of the Button Shy games at the moment! They're really nice because I can just slip them into my work bag and play them at lunch. In particular, I've been playing a fair bit of Sprawlopolis and Food Chain Island, both of which are really great solo games.
With other people, I've been playing a whole lot of Spirit Island, which is probably one of my all-time favorites. The amount of diversity in how each of the spirits play is mind-boggling and makes every game feel very different. My regular play-group is also getting pretty excited for the new expansion that's coming out in the next couple of months.
There's one at !boardgames@feddit.de! It's pretty small at the moment, but hey-- so is everything else around here. :P
Seconding Spirit Island. It's quite possibly one of my favorite board games of all time (and a huge favorite in my regular play-group)!
Even in the base game, the amount of diversity in play styles between the spirits is incredible. It's absolutely a game that I could keep playing indefinitely and continue to discover new things.
Love seeing the DOT on Lemmy! π₯°
You guys were by far my favorite part of the Baltimore subreddit back when I was on Reddit. I was sad to have to give it up when I moved over here
