Found a new FLGS with a monthly board game day and had a blast on my first time attending 🙂
Started off with Quarriors! Qultimate Quedition barely managing a win from early mid-range monster stock piling that slowly snowballed
Then spent remaining time on Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City which has some interesting mechanics though too long a game for me to want to repeat
Also picked up a copy of
Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game which looks great
boardgames and gaming in general... demands hours at a time, memory / too complex ! (?)
@s3rvant This look like a great place (have 0 idea where or what it is) and wanted to ask, almost from envy from things bring people together like this, almost "why" do you like this (maybe for you but can generalise)... is it the imagination, design, characters, focus on a game together (like Pokemon etc or whatever)
and on the other side could you say about the game time, takes so long usually or is so complicated / able to make errors so yeah maybe like all things needs depth... but does seem like most are literally not 'pick up and play' more 'spend the first week needing hardcore learning and after you learn you have to teach your whole community!!! So weeks before you play with various people's ability needed in between life.... Aaaanyway I mean well in asking about how nice it is aesthetically but tough to play sometimes which you note with Cyberpunk 2077... how long is long - few hours right? #boardgames #gaming
For me the best part of finding a place like this is the people you meet and friendships formed
I already play games with my family and long time friends as it's one of our favorite hobbies which encourages time face-to-face to talk etc. while also getting to have a fun time together with the game.
Game stores like the above help meet more people with those similar hobbies and certainly also give the opportunity to play games that my family might not be as interested in playing.
@s3rvant Yeah I guess these are all vital components for though whole thing to work... almost the culture else it will work less... so more people... shops... places, events... a family traditionally helps it happen more easily...
Still even with Monopoly / The LandLord's Game it can be hard to play more than a "ah that was interesting"... and needing others face-face has mixed blessings :) and always better when not so serious or even team-games to disperse the head-to-head factor of loser/winner....
Ok well, was interesting... farewell.
P.S If you have any character models personally painted I can see interest in that,,,,
