#seasofstrife — Public Fediverse posts

We did #Skulls and #Startups at work today.

Skulls was god awful, I love it. I'm so bad at bluffing and push your luck games lol. Not my genre.

Startups is a melding game that feels just as streamlined, deep and competitive as #Scout is for the shedding genre.

Still looking for that one true trick-taker. The one that will blow my mind. I hoped it'd be #SeasOfStrife because of the #ShelfStable #podcast loving it, but after ~100 games I'm just not feeling it. Too random.

When I was teaching #SeasOfStrife at work, we used the original rules, not the boxed rules which are wrong (the scandinavian edition even has translation issues between the already wrong rules - further complicating things).

First game, somehow, the starting player lost by playing the 0 - becoming the highest card on the table lol.

So what makes this game really shine isn't winning; you can't really control that. What makes it shine is making others lose 😁 as you CAN control that!

I had a chance to finally bring out #SeasOfStrife after having it hyped to me repeatedly for three weeks.

Let me put it this way: I don't like trick-taking games and I especially don't like basic games unless they have a hidden depth or let me be super mean.

This game falls into exactly that category. A basic trick-taking game that anyone could learn in less than a minute.

AND I fucking loved it.

This game has earned a spot in my satchel project, together with #Scout and #BangTheDiceGame !

Manchmal geht es dann auch mal schneller als erwartet 😃.
Sowohl Leaders of the New Dawn als auch Windjammern schaffen es noch rechtzeitig mit auf die BerlinCon.

In unserem Webshop werden sie in der kommenden Woche auch verfügbar und versandbereit sein, und danach machen sie sich auch auf dem Weg über die Großhändler in den Handel.
