What's your favorite vegan cookbook? by legendarydromedary in c/vegan@lemmy.world

I love Bosh!. It has some great dishes for a dinner party, but also some simple things like Hummus and Baba Ganoush.

Yes! I think these also fall in the "can be explained within 1 minute" category

When I opened this review for a game called Hundreds of Horses, I expected to have a good laugh about an awful game. The first two sentences:

It’s like a less-complicated Dixit. And all horses.

However, the author is actually fairly positive! It's clearly not a "hobby game" and not meant for hobby gamers, but it works and can be fun. What other games fall into this category? I'll nominate:

  • Happy Salmon. What's more fun than high fiving and running around a table?
  • Spot It: Reverse spot the differences. Pure reflex game that can be explained in ten seconds
  • Time's Up!: Describe something, describe it in one word, and charades. Practically always a hit

HAKEN - Nightingale (OFFICIAL VIDEO) by legendarydromedary in c/progmetal@sopuli.xyz
[-] legendarydromedary@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I like it a lot more than Virus! I feel it's a lot more melodic, whereas Virus for me fell on the classic prog metal trap of complexity for complexity's sake. However, The Mountain is still my favorite.

Also check out Charlie Griffith's solo album. It's quite a bit heavier than Haken, with thrash metal influences, and tbh I like it more than Haken's work.

Games for larger groups? by legendarydromedary in c/boardgames@feddit.de
[-] legendarydromedary@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

These are my go to games for larger groups:

  • Codenames: A modern classic! Works best with 6 or 8 people.
  • Decrypto: For a more gamey version of Codenames.
  • Wavelength: Fun party game that spikes interesting conversations
  • Concept: Don't play to win, just play to have fun guessing

Although it's not completely my style, I admire their craftsmanship. What a great performance!

Deck building + racing. What's your favorite? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago by legendarydromedary@sh.itjust.works to c/boardgames@feddit.de

This genre seems to be fairly popular, and I can see why. Instead of just building a deck for the sake of building it (like in Dominion), adding a racing element makes the game more interactive, tense, and tangible. I've only played a few, and I'm interested in how Heat compares to for example.

I really enjoy Clank! and The Quest for El Dorado. I'd say Quest is the better game. It's cleaner, has fewer rules, and more variety in terms of maps. However, Clank! can be more fun. All the weird cards, the fights, drawing from the Dragon bag, and trying to get out alive make it a more lively (but also more random) game.

Best Coop Boardgames? by legendarydromedary in c/boardgames@feddit.de
[-] legendarydromedary@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I tend to like competitive games, but I like my coop games to:

  • be difficult, or have a difficult mode. To me, there's no fun in winning on the first try
  • to foster table talk OR a different kind of fun player interaction. That's why The Lost Expedition didn't click for me, it felt like just throwing some cards on the table.

That said, I enjoy Pandemic (a classic), Hanabi, Just One, and Magic Maze. I haven't really tried heavier ones but I'd love to play Spirit Island some day.

And for very young kids, My First Orchard is great!

Any game recommendations to play outside? by legendarydromedary in c/boardgames@feddit.de
[-] legendarydromedary@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Anything with tiles works well, like Hive, Hanabi Deluxe, or Carcassonne. Dice games also work well, such as Pickomino. And there's Crokinole, if your table can fit it
