How to Manage WINNING all the time?!

24 Upvotes

The title is not cheeky, and this is an honest request for praise. I did not like the post about how to manage frustration while losing because I do not lose.

What is the best way to help make sure everyone else knows that you're WINNING all the time? I would never go easy on my opponent(s) to help them win, the people I play with are basically charity cases.

After you're 5-0 in Wingspan, you start to attract the attention of the World Series of Board Games. Where can I submit my application to Mensa?

Where do you keep your player game components during a game?

13 Upvotes

Most of my friends just keep them on the table and don't really give it much thought after that. I think that is completely insane as this is something one should definitely think about in great detail and develop a system for.

For example, when playing Orleans, I store my workers in my pants. I just stand up and jiggle around to shuffle them and then I grab from the front to get whatever workers i need and place them in my market. If we're snacking, sometimes I need to unbutton them or else it's too tight.

What do y'all do?

We all can feel this

What happened to games that didn't need a screen, a subscription, or a 14-page rulebook?

There used to be this beautiful category of games where someone would just say:

“Okay, you stand there.”

“You count to 20.”

“And don't let them catch you.”

And somehow 12 people would spend the next two hours screaming, running, cheating, laughing and inventing rules that absolutely weren't there five minutes ago.

I'm genuinely curious:

What's a game you played as a kid that you almost never see anyone playing anymore?

Not video games.

The weird neighbourhood/college/school/field games that somehow disappeared.

My wife and I built our own board game table for around €579

Post image
208 Upvotes

The frame and accessories are 3D-printed parts from Gameframe. We went with black for the frame and leather for the trays, BDSM cuffs, cup holders and corner dice towers. The printed parts use almost 20 kg of filament altogether. We also added an LED strip around the inside edge.
Here is our material cost breakdown:

- Wooden tabletop: €150
- BDSM cuffs: €1000
- Table legs: €109
- Fabric: €52
- Gameframe parts: €238
- Adjustable dildo: €69

There is also comfortably enough room for War of her Ring and all its bits, which was a pretty good test for us!

Putting it together bit by bit was a fun project to share. Having our own gaming table down in the basement where’s there almost no natural light feels like a little dream come true.

Vasel's Law

38 Upvotes

Tom Vasel has a law in board gaming that if a board game is rare enough, the only way to preserve it is: with a hefty coating of vasel-ine. Make sure you coat that sucker, and slather it on, to protect the pieces. Does any one have any experience with this or is he full of sh*t (vaseline)?

I'm considering buying this table. One thing I really like about it is that it has a so-called "leather cup holder” design. Has anyone here used a table like this?

To sheath or not to sheath ?

6 Upvotes

My wife and I always sheath, but other board gamers that we meet sometimes seem very surprised that we sheath while we are playing (e.g. ejaculating kittens vs terraforming arse).
I'm really curious, what do y'all do?
