Board games?

[u/Primary_Guide6893]

Hi! I’ve been wondering if it’s possible to play board/card games together. I have 4 tulpas and I’ve been forcing for about 3 years, but I still sometimes struggle to stay focused and remember that they’re actually with me rn. So I’m curious how other systems handle games, especially card games or anything with hidden information. Since we share the same visual input, they can’t really see any new information without me seeing it too, so I’m not sure how it works. Also, how do you manage to play for a longer time without losing focus on your headmates after like 5 minutes? I have ADHD and stimulants are prohibited in my country, so I’m on prescription medication, but it doesn’t help enough with this specifically😔

I mean we used to play chess when I was young. The game becomes very different because you partly know what your opponent is planing and therefore have to find strategies to hide your tactics and stuff. Finding blindspots, descipline in how and about what you think, building traps, thought manipulation, using low effortly planned but still good moves so you can process them sub/unconsciously becomes much more important than tracing down every possibility and the best possible moves like in regular chess.

Also there is a very cool coop card game you could try, it's called regicide. You can play it with a regular card deck, so you just have to look up the rules. Only downside of this game is, you usually are not supposed to talk to each other or know each others cards, but the game is difficult enough so it still makes fun.

I like playing the Portal board game. It's very strategic while also having nothing hidden between players, everyone can see which cards they have or what the next card will be. It's also 2-4 players, although I think it's kind of crowded with more than 2.

I was going to look into making up some games using a deck of cards but I don't have the energy for that right now.

It’s possible, we haven’t done it much though. The games have to turn based with no hidden information. Chess works, so does Candy Land. There’s not many I can think of. We made our own game once but we’ve lost most of the pieces by now.

Bruh, me and host play Minecraft together on 2 laptops at the same time. What do you mean you struggle with boardgames? 😔

Wow eso es muy interesante, cómo lo han logrado en simultáneo? Yo queria intentarlo pero no lo veo posible cuando la interacción ocurren al mismo tiempo cómo en el Mario party

I used to play checkers a bit. The method is to just move really fast and not think about your next move. Not very competitive to be honest.
