My friends tried to get me to play Axis and Allies once by telling me their last game went past sunrise.
I politely declined.
I used to play Axis and Allies with a roommate, we would routinely have a game on the living room table and play bits of it at a time.
That game’s a monster
Some people love complicated, long board games, others hate them.
I love a good economy builder.
More complicated than the Cones of Dunshire? I don’t believe it
Are the cones a metaphor?
Well, yes and no…
Let me guess… Campaign for North Africa? Are they tracking their Pasta Points? (The Pasta Rule isnt actually a really rule)
EDIT: I knew it. Even the author says the game sucks in the game writings lol.
I’m not cool enough to have a lot of experience with modern board games, but it seems like a lot of them should be computer games for all the fiddly stuff to track.
There are a variety of apps for tracking stats/modifiers and all sorts of other stuff for any popular modern board games I’ve gotten into.
Yeah it’s nice to play a irl board game once in a while but even for catan 99% of the time im playing it on the computer
This is my own bad take: I feel the same about ticket to ride. I do not want to count individual train cars to get my points or validate I did the route or that I have the longest train.
Me draw card. Me place car. You give score. That’s about as much as my caveman brain can handle
So…this is just a podcast ad then
