betrayal at house on the hill and apples to apples in particular
I want to play Betrayal at House on the Hill but it's out of print so it goes for like $100+ on the after-market. Same with several other of the Avalon-Hill products I want.
It's a homemade mechanic for progressing gameplay. The game moves slowly, too slowly for some, so they adjust the rules so the game can keep moving.
But it doesn't do that. It does the exact opposite of that, actually. The game ends when one player dominates the board. Giving money out at random means that the money will likely go to a player other than the winner (assuming more than two active players), which just extends the game. Similar to giving a little handful of minerals to a losing player in Starcraft. It just lets him hold out slightly longer, but doesn't change the momentum of the game. And if it does change the momentum of the game, then you've fucked the balance.
If I have more fun playing with my house rules than with the standard rules than I would say that I know better than the game maker yes.
Yeah because it's totally impossible that you simply don't get the game, right? There's no way that that's the case. It has to be the game's fault.
What you also ignore is the possibility that you're just going to find a local maximum. So yeah, the game's more fun now, but maybe long-term, the game is less fun because you've fucked with a really complex formula that you do not fully understand, and what you did may ruin the game later on. It could be later on in the same match, or it could be later on as you fail to see the merits of the original game, because you're playing a version with fucked-up rules.
I've seen people do this in Warcraft. They made mods with no gold, lumber, or food limits. Because, hey, everyone hates being out of gold, lumber, or food, right? So let's turn all the caps off! Well, that's retarded because even though the game starts faster, the rest of the game's finely-tuned balance is completely fucked as a result, and only absolute beginner players wouldn't realize this.
Khoo, if I ever met you I would be too timid to do so but nonetheless I wish to fist-bump you for all that you do.
I hate to admit this, but I spent like 20 minutes at NYCC lingering at the PA booth, trying to talk to Khoo. I don't even think I'm in love with him as much as you people are, but his reputation precedes him. I ended up just going past Fehlauer and Khoo and talking to Gabe and Tycho instead.

I wonder how it feels to have an object like that exist. Some piece of art that is cool and creative and is completely your own creation. I don't think I'll ever have that feeling, since I don't make solo projects.
I'll have to settle for the feeling of creation when you have some stupid baby or something, which is dumb and lame plus they poop on everything and then when they're 15 they think they fucking know shit.

Fortunately in my experience this isn't the case with awarding money for hitting Free Parking. If ever a game gets completely fucked up because of that then me and my friends would probably stop using that house rule. As long as it continues to consistently provide a superior experience though I'm gonna stick with it.

haha - campion, that's actually a good catch. What's pictured is a prototype, and that symbol is a mistake. The CTS symbol with the elongated circle and the dot actually we have legal rights to, so the final one will be corrected.

ah, I thought maybe what we saw was ok simply because the symbol is actually black but pac-man is yellow
Like, objectively, are there things that should be done to make a game work, to make it "fun", meaning "appealing to more people"?
Sure
Subjectively? Everyone likes something else. Some people play Fallout 3 Unarmed/Melee and take Sneak and Science and shit. I play it like a redneck: guns, guns, and more guns
So what Joe finds fun in this game, or how he enjoys playing it, and my opinion on the same subject are not necessarily going to be the same

Like you know anything about hitting babies.
Uno is a good game to play during that period when one more game of Skip-bo will end multiple friendships.

If that's got all of them, and parses through the text of each comic to search, that's pretty damn shiny.
Unless of course, I want one with no text.
But I just searched for Kirby and found the one where Gabe is riding the rainbow. Textless comic.
