Duck Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The board game threads in online are a bit of mishmash so i thought i'd made an news thread.. and probably a games thread when i get round to it.. so we can keep the online thread for organizing games. This is pretty big news for me.. Excited for Labyrinth and Imperial Struggle ports. The COIN style games are usually long and a bit of a undertaking so having a play when you like type digital version might be a lot better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Rob Zacny wrote a piece on why the GMT/Playdek news is exciting.. https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/article/vbj7pb/gmt-games-already-make-great-tabletop-wargames-now-theyre-going-digital I totally forgot Thunder Alley is a GMT game. A digital version of that would be great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey_chaser Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Terraforming Mars is coming to Steam Q3 this year. It's easily one of the best boardgames i've played in a long time so i'm pretty excited for this one. And that reminds me, i've had a pre-order on one of GMT's p500 games for ages (SpaceCorp) - i need to check it what's happened to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimboxy Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 The Boardgames cafe I go to has two copies of Gloomhaven that people have bought between then and leave there. People can sell themselves out of the game so others can buy in. Still seems a bit bonkers to me, but I'm not sold on these legacy games anyway.

Duck Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Oh nice! I have pretty much all of it but it'll be handy to have on steam too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Ticket To Ride is getting a PS4 Playlink version in November. https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP4917-CUSA12867_00-PREORDERXXXXXXXX It's a start i suppose..but Playlink is the way to go with these. I also recently discovered Vassal, which is basically Board Game Arena but for wargames and free. http://www.vassalengine.org/index.php A lot of good stuff on there.

Jimboxy Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 The URL reads too much like vaseline.. I wonder if the iOS/play store version of TTR is less fucked now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey_chaser Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Played my first game of Terraforming Mars on Steam last night. It's good but needs some improvement, and they've removed card drafting (you get dealt x amount of cards, choose one then pass the remaining cards to the next player. Repeat until all cards are gone). It's an odd omission as trying to block which cards your opponents have access to is a big part of the board game - do you choose the card that boosts your energy production or the asteroid that nukes an opponents plant stocks? Still - it's TM, one of my favourite boardgames that's now incredibly convenient to play, and it'll only get better over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey_chaser Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Played another TM last night - nearing the end of a two hour game and it crashed. Think there's still a few bugs they need to sort before i'd recommend it. Card drafting is due in December apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey_chaser Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I've played a few more games of this now - a hotfix seems to have fixed the stability issues. @Duck - think you're going to get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Looking forward to Ticket to Ride coming to PS4. Absolutely love the proper board game. Obviously it’ll not be same and would always pick the board if there’s a few of us but for just me and the woman to have a quick game it’ll be perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so, maybe in a few weeks. I'll be down for games. I'll go make a digital/physical thread in the game section for impressions and that. Instead of posting in here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
