Your favorite game of all time!
========== Here‘s my list:
-
King of Tokyo: Awesome art, great table presence, easy to learn, different winning conditions, always fun!
-
Tidal Blades: I love asymmetric RPGs with character customization! But I only got it to the table once. Time will tell if it holds up.
-
Arkham Horror LCG: My heaviest game atm, since I don’t find enough time for longer games. The most immersive game I played so far! I‘m impressed how this game is designed and I love my depressing roguelike experience with Lovecraft theme here!
-
Most played: Dominion.
-
World of Warcraft - The Board Game has to be my all time favorite: It reminds me of times, when we had opportunities almost monthly to get together and play these long games. Again, customizable asymmetric characters, thrilling item management and fighting mechanic, skill trees (expansion), everything I loved about the PC game was so well captured here.
Light: Sea Salt & Paper
Medium: Mottainai
Heavy: A Feast for Odin (not sure if that’s considered heavy)
Most played: Kingdom Builder (if we count online)
All time favorite: that’s too hard… some that are in the running: Mottainai, Newton, Tzolk’in, Teotihuacan, Ascension, Kingdom Builder, War Chest, Space Base, Res Arcana, A Feast for Odin
I have a hard time with picking favorites so these are a bit random. I will probably come up with a different list if you ask me next week.
Do you think Mottainai is worth getting/playing if I already have Innovation?
Absolutely, they are very different games! But that also means that liking one doesn’t necessarily mean that you will like the other.
As for the worth, for me Mottainai might just be the best bang for the buck (and shelf space) out there… with one fairly big caveat: There seems to be an invisible mental barrier around it, people often have a hard time wrapping their brains around it at first.
The rules are quite simple once it clicks, it might just require some perseverance to get there. Or maybe you will get it right away! What has helped me the most was playing online on Yucata and taking it slow, making sure that I understood everything that happened each turn.
