[Balderdash] Online Board Game Funtimes

I signed up, as well, under the username ReadThese.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Joined both games. Are we going to wait for a full slate before beginning?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

He's just trying to throw us off his strat. The Panda stood perfectly still for hours, only to distract us in a fit of seemingly random, ineffectual movement. I see your game.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I started up a new game of both Takenoko and Tokaido, if you guys are up for another round.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'll have to go over the rules but I'm always up for a new worker placement game.

As for the tables I've opened: We still have two spots open on both games. All those people who signed up and then never played a game should feel free to grab a spot. If the spot's not filled by tomorrow morning or so or whenever I get around to it, though, I'll just start 'em up.

How ya doing, buddy?

Pang or Shin: Join Tokaido. It is a game about walking from Edo to Kyoto. Each spot on the board has either a piece of a panorama, or a bath house (netting you victory points), or a random encounter, or a market where you can buy one of four categories of trinkets, each category owned netting you further points. Then there are inns you stop at along the way where you can buy a meal from a pool of dishes of varying price on a first come, first serve basis. The person furthest back on the board moves wherever they like forward. And that's basically it. There are some "achievements" tallied at the end which give you victory points. You can read about those in the rules below the game. Simple game, but a fun one.

e: Since people new to the game are playing I decided to turn off all the expansions. To do this I had to "expel" everyone who had already joined. Whoops.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You've got to admire a man's dedication to the role play.

FELIPE NO

I opened a new table for Caylus. Nutty and I played a game earlier and I really enjoyed it. Hoping to see how it plays with (at least) three players this time.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That's exactly why I want to try it with three. I'll join Targi. And Yahtzee.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That is the only way I play: stoned and a little bit scared.

also in re: complexity: This is why I initially wanted to play with all the additional rules. Makes it more of a game than a wait-in-line simulator. Ah well.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

A rigole is a four-of-a-kind with the last die being the one opposite the other four. More simply put, this means the last die must be the one that, when added to the value of the four-of-a-kind, makes seven. For example: 1-1-1-1-6 or 5-5-5-5-2.

e: Blame the French.
