Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Played Twilight Imperium last weekend. 7 players, playing to 12 points, about half the table using Discordant Stars factions.

Wrapped it up after about 12 hours and gave the win to the player in the strongest looking position because it was probably going to take another 2 hours to finish and we were all very tired.

I love TI. I'm currently playing an asynchrone game over discord, and a weekly "one round a night" game on TTPG. We've yet to try discordant stars but very possibly next game, how do you feel about it?

DS is great, factions are interesting and well balanced. There's some pretty wild stuff in some of them but nothing that seems stronger than the top tier base factions.

That's good to hear, good luck on your next space adventure!
