I don’t mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel. But I am, so that’s how it comes out.

Has anyone ever played the browser based RPG, Kingdom of Loathing? They've kickstarted a deck-building game based on it that you can still get in on (cleared goal many times over but open til 16-Oct). I haven't played KoL in years, but the humor in it was always pretty great. I'm looking forward to playing this tabletop adaptation.

Anything like that on the market?

The Kingdom of Loathing game I just mentioned on this page is literally exactly that.

Guys don't make your own house rules for good games. You don't know why those rules are there. Just don't. This should be in the OP.

Yeah, man, giving people all the discarded luxury tax money for landing on Free Parking totally fucks up the whole economy!

My loving mind just exploded. :psyboom:

Words with Friends, which began life as a IP-skirting knock-off of Hasbro board game Scrabble… is now a Hasbro board game. :eek:

I'm also looking for a more complex "gateway" game that I can leverage to get my casual board gaming friends (who mostly play Catan) to bite on something a bit more meaty.

At the risk of aggroing half the thread, I am going to suggest with full sincerity that Small World has managed to fit this bill for me in the past.

Is it local only, or can you play online?

I don't understand. If the dog slays the wife and the husband answers the Free Parking question, who rapes the hamster?

The brothers. Both of them. They run trains on the hamster.

Yeah, it really is. Thanks for the reco. Only thing I could possibly ask for in that app is a setting to speed up some of the animations. Once you are used to the flow of the game it isn't really helpful to watch those deliberate shuffle animations whenever a Waters Rise! card is drawn. All in all though a great recreation of the tabletop experience.

Haven't been following this thread very closely lately, so forgive me if this has been discussed. But I just saw this Space Alert ripoff for iOS and immediately thought of Broken Loose and co. :allears:
