Shattered is my roguelike of choice on mobile (along with Hoplite if that counts). On desktop I play DCSS and Brogue. Used to play a lot of Nethack too. Never ascended in any of them but that doesn't make it any less fun.

We picked up Gingerbread House earlier in the week and liked it a lot. It has some similarities to Llamaland so we got that on the table too. Both are cozy tile laying games by Phil Walker-Harding where you build the tiles up multiple levels and collect the covered-up resources. The big difference is that Gingerbread House is played in a 3x3 space with 2-square tiles (kinda like the Kingdomino tiles) while in Llamaland you have pentominoes (5 square tiles) and the build area is not restricted. Constrains are not necessarily a bad thing though, both games are great in their own way.

We played some Cartographers and Next Station: London as well, both are excellent flip & writes.

Exactly 2-3 is a hard call, I think you already have pretty much the best pick with Nordic Countries.

The others that come to mind are on the heavier side and come with some caveats. Mottainai is one of my favorites and a single deck plays 2 or 3 but it can be difficult to get started with especially if everybody is going in cold. Fields of Arle with the Tea & Trade expansion (required for 3) plays 2-3 but it's very difficult to find right now, rumor is that the the next print might come at the end of this year. Haggis is fun and not too hard but the custom deck that is required for 3 seems to be out of print.

There are a lot more choices if we open it up to games with a wider player count that play very well at both 2 and 3.

Edit: looks like there is new edition of Haggis in the works!

Check out Perry@kbin.social's excellent Weekly Crowdfunding Roundup thread that I've just cross-posted.

So you see YouTube, the thing is, I'm not gonna watch those stupid ads. I don't care how short or long, it's just not happening. No, not even the tip. I can use the site without watching the ads and maybe send links to my friends and they might give you some ad impressions. Or I can go do something else, get mad at Google and never spend another dollar at the play store and stuff. What do you think?

For Emacs users one of the Emacs-based clients is often the best choice for the simple reason that you have access to all the usual Emacs cozies. It's just another buffer. My pick is rcirc but they all work well enough, it comes down to personal preferences. Besides IRC I use it for all of my chat-type activity through bitlbee and other gateways. Over the decades chat protocols have come and gone but thanks to my IRC based setup they are all the same to me and all from the comfort of my Emacs session.

I am in the same boat. Looks cool but I will wait for a deeper cut (if there is ever one).

Yep, a "scratch your own itch" project is the best way to stay motivated.

My guess is that it's more than that it just hasn't been priced in yet. You don't want this sort of stuff in your IPO risk disclosure.

We are more on the euro side so it tends to be one-off sessions. Closest thing I have is a bunch of BGA and Yucata games. Currently in progress: Tash-Kalar, Challengers, Next Station: London, Canvas, Micro Dojo, Newton, Mottainai.

Are any of you one of those BGA players with a crazy number of concurrent turn based games? I always wondered how people manage to keep up with hundreds of games at once.
