when I was in college I tried hacking together monopoly, risk, and poker into a game know as "tycoon"
the tagline for it was "are you the tycoon???"
you would play a hand of texas hold 'em with your monopoly money after every round of monop, then use your earnings to fund new armies in risk. the different areas of monopoly also synced up with continents for some style of bonuses, it... it didn't make a ton of sense. but neither does the world, motherfucker!!
I got people to play one game but my favorite part was repeating "are YOU the tycoon???" to my roommates for several weeks, so you might as well say that's how you play tycoon
I had a friend who tried hacking together Stratego and Risk once
As in, every time you got into a fight in Risk, you had to play an entire game of Stratego to resolve it
I’m mostly aware but my board game friends are basically Twilight Imperium (or of that scale) or bust. And I hosted one time and at hour 6 I looked like the god damn crypt keeper.
One night ultimate werewolf was fun tho
That's a bummer, those types of games are fun every once and a while but multi hour board games really aren't something I wanna play all the time
And they are quite a lot more technical minded about games than I am. And with Twilight Imperium especially have studied the rules to a rather exhaustive degree. So I show up my twice a year playing ass and no I don’t hold a candle.
So I end up making up some stupid objective in my head as opposed to the one the cards give me and end up causing havoc. It’s a whole thing
I usually find with really long games that I run out of patience for learning how to do things well before you reach the end of the rules you need to play the game. I wanna just get in and play some stuff!
I think 20 minutes to an hour is my ideal length for a game. That way I don't have to feel like I wasted my entire day on a single game where I barely do anything because I understand roughly half of what's happening.
I, personally, devote 100% of my time to things where I barely do anything because I understand roughly half of what's going on. For example, I'm reading all of this thread, and I don't know shit about board games.

I wanted to do this with Star Wars Armada going into X-Wing whenever squadrons would fight

I want my games to be an escape from my normal life, is the thing

i love the idea of things like this so much that it hurts to think about it practically
edit: I wonder if the legacy model couldn't inch this closer to practicality--remove the expectation of finishing the risk game in a game, like the single risk game is the entire campaign? and each session is several games of stratego (probably throw some monopoly in there too, maybe some poker)
Mitch have I ever told you about my dumb idea for a video game? It starts out as a basically game of civilization but once you fully found your civ, it goes into a Sim-City-esque game where you actually build and manage the city. Then when crises hit the city you scale in further and go into an adventure game where you actually have to run around saving people and fixing things.
Then you scale back out to expand your empire and whenever you go into combat it becomes a full-on tactical combat game.
I came up with it one day while mowing and I'm pretty sure it's impossible to complete

That's reverse Spore. You invented the opposite of Spore.

And Spore was terrible so clearly this will be great

Yeah, this was all pre-legacy, and I think that the legacy model of games could absolutely make this sort of thing work

I dunno, people talking about a tv show but not really about the tv show all the time?
A fever you can't sweat out is an absolute mess of an album that I like a whole lot.
I wouldnt put it in the same genre as Paramore, MCR or fallout boy though. And I'm not sure I'd put any of those in the same genre as each other either.

Nah they all mesh together, it was a good example for me.

monopoly is a boring game!!!! I said it!!!!

It would probably take 78 hours to play
Imagine a table, only it's fun!

Good news for you - through extensive practice, I've streamlined my packaging of Eldritch Horror so that the set up will only take fifteen minutes!

It would be unplayable and I have no idea how I would represent like, the scale, but my god, what a beautiful dream
That exclamation mark fucks me up everytime I read their name
don't put a jumpscare in your band name!
Bummer, man
Eh, they're fine? I've never been into them personally but they're still better than most other instances of Other People's Music.
A Mall Haircut
Based on the name I’m imagining lots of screaming?
This just raises further questions!
They sound like this picture
Look, Panic At The Disco may not be the greatest band, but I love them, and they definitely don't deserve to be compared to Johnny Depp
I wouldnt put it in the same genre as Paramore, MCR or fallout boy though. And I'm not sure I'd put any of those in the same genre as each other either.
You know what?
Yeah.
Then they shouldn't wear such awful hats.
