On Watching Card Games and Understanding Nothing

Medic 1 Comment , , ,

Lately, a lot of my friends have been playing card games, notably Magic the Gathering. And sometimes they stream their card games, allowing me to watch. Watching these games is quite enjoyable, but I don’t understand any of it. Weirdly, I am not too bad at learning new games. I mean, I always suck at games in general but I like to think I have some understanding of these things. If I am watching a stream, I’ll soon work out the rules and generally get the gist of a game. Sure, I can’t often replicate streamers’ skills but it’s better… [Continue Reading]

aabicus 0 Comments , , ,

Hey gamers, have you ever wanted to be among the top 500 players of a video game? And not just any game, but a Valve game? Well, now you can with their 18-month old release, Artifact: a DOTA card game! It hasn’t broken 500 players since the first ninety days it came out. Here’s how to reach the top in 5 easy steps: #1: Purchase the game on Steam. Artifact costs $19.99 and has never gone on sale. This will be the most difficult part of your path to pro. #2: Install the game. This’ll take 5-10 minutes depending on… [Continue Reading]

The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls – A Physical Game Based on a Video Game

Medic 0 Comments , ,

My brother loves everything related to the Binding of Isaac, and it’s one of the games he’s proud to have nearly perfectly completed. So when he heard of a board game kickstarter, of course he had to go and spend €50 on the game, which arrived just before Christmas. And it’s alright. The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls is a board/card game where four people can play as one of the characters from the Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth, using various items from the Binding of Isaac series. Players take turns attacking monsters by rolling dice and buying and using various… [Continue Reading]

Board Games: Cash ‘N Guns & Bloodbound

aabicus 0 Comments , , , , , , ,

One of the coolest parts about attending the UCSC Games & Playable Media program is the games lounge on the second floor. It’s a large room with a bunch of gaming consoles, board games, and tabletop RPG books, and I’ve been able to play all sorts of different board games in the last year. Two of them really stood out as amazing party games that I’ve purchased my own copies of, and I wanted to pay them some lip service. If you’re the sort who looks for games that large groups can enjoy, I highly recommend these two, especially because… [Continue Reading]

Flipping Tables, Uno Decks and Exploding Kittens – Tabletop Simulator

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

My siblings have been begging me to play Tabletop Simulator for ages. I never understood why because we have a large amount of board games at home already, as well as multiple decks of cards. We have Cards against Humanity, the basic pack, and I’m considering buying some expansion packs because of how much awful fun we’ve had playing that game. Tabletop Simulator seems like the sort of thing one would try if all your friends lived in a different country and you desperately wanted to play games together. That’s exactly what it is. Tabletop Simulator is a way to… [Continue Reading]

Bang! The Western-Themed Card Game

aabicus 1 Comment , , ,

Since majer63 broke the ice on talking about card games, I thought I’d take a chance to dedicate an article to one of my first gaming loves, Bang!  Growing up, I had a huge circle of people at my house at any given time.We had the opposite problem of most gaming circles; we couldn’t play games limited to 2-6 players, we needed something up to 11 people could play at the same time. As one of the few games capable of handling that many people, Bang! was a mainstay in our repertoire, though it also works with as few as 3 players. Drawing… [Continue Reading]

A card game on The Daily SPUF???

majer63 0 Comments , , ,

This time I’m going to be writing about something a little different. Instead of a game you can play on your phone or computer, this game requires you to use physical items. Moreover, it requires you to *gasp* go meet other real life people. Weiss Schwarz is a card game made by Bushiroad. Unlike what the name might imply, it is a Japanese card game, not a German one. The game is divided into two sides, Weiss and Schwarz. The Weiss side is filled with the ‘cute’ series, while the Schwarz side is filled with the ‘cool’ series. You can… [Continue Reading]
