Review - Claim (a great 2-player trick-taking card game by @Scott_Almes). Thanks to @thing12games for introducing it to me! @DeepWaterGames @white_goblin

Two-player trick-taking games are odd ducks. I mean, not Cobra Chicken odd ducks. Nothing compares to them. But they are odd in their own way. They always have to have some kind of neat twist because otherwise it’s just two players laying down cards for no apparent reason. Who loves doing things for no apparent reason? (Points two thumbs at myself) This guy. But not when I’m playing a…

Honestly I think a lot of people who have never made a gif for tumblr don't get that it does actually take time and effort, its not just rip it from a video and post it- you have to download the video, in my case I have a video player installed that grabs continuous caps, figure out what parts you need, you have to open those in photoshop or gimp, depending on where you got photoshop you might be paying for it every month and then on top of that is actually sizing, cropping, colouring, sharpening, adding text, etc. etc. like it is something that takes time and effort for which the only real reward is creating something that makes you happy and hopefully people reblog it with a nice or funny tag, so maybe keep that in mind the next time you think gif makers are being mean or unfair for being upset about reposts. It is its own little artform that is fairly unique to this website, and that's a big aspect of why I have always loved tumblr, if all the gifmakers stopped posting things would be a lot more boring around here.

Say it’s likely there will be a Brokeback Mountain reference in s5 and nobody bats an eye.

Say it’s likely that the final byler fight will be inspired by this scene and society goes wild.

when i played botw and avoided every divine beast as long as possible and didn't up stamina until my hearts were maxed. everyone thought i was crazy. but now i am playing totk with my one stamina wheel and my lack of any windy powers and i am thriving. i played hundreds of hours like this. this is just what hyrule is like, to me. meanwhile everyone who actually played the botw main quest in a reasonable timeframe is suffering.

Not to get lost in the narratives and such, but I think it's a wild thing to take a young player with fire in his belly who will be the first to admit that he was never even the best player in his junior teams made it to the NHL it's because he clawed his way thru via any means necessary, and to tell him, I want you to look at this example of all things beautiful about hockey, and do everything exactly as he does it.

And how all of that, instead of breeding resentment can turn into devotion. I'm thinking of faith and how Bergy will be the first to talk about all the ways in which Marchy made his game better, of two people who pushed and balanced and completed each other, who worked so well because they were so different in so many ways, two people who would suck at being each other. And what happens when, you say now you take over. Now you lead, on your own.

And I guess I'm also thinking of that 22 year old with a chip on his shoulder who was told: you will never be the best player on ice as long as he is on the ice, so I want you to be second best.

🎃👻Trick or treat! 👻🎃 The toast babies want to dress as their favorite superheroes- who do they dress as?

Could there be any other choice?!

No one is more heroic to these sweet little toasties than their parents!! Mama’s so Brave!! and Papa’s so Strong!! even when they have down days they’re always there to tell bedtime stories, sing songs and play games!!

If Shadow was a lab-experiment then I think that means it's very likely that they used a reward system on him like any other labrat and that as a result, he's probably extremely easy to Pavlov

How funny would it be for Shadow, who's so stubborn and uncooperative, to suddenly be easily influenced into doing things if you happen to figure out what he perceives as a reward

He starts showing up at social events and everyone thinks he's finally comin around but actually it's just cause Rouge will only give him his favorite food if he attends and plays nice

Kickstarter Review - Like Cain and Abel

Kickstarter Review - Like Cain and Abel

I like card games a lot. Short, punchy 2-player card games are even better, as you don’t need a lot of time and they work in almost any circumstance. Even better is when they do some innovative things with the whole genre. Like Cain and Abel is an 18-card, 2-player trick-taking game designed by, with artwork by, and published by J.L. Reid. It’s going to Kickstarter on April 30 and the campaign…

Tricky tricks – trick-taking and other games (Topic Discussion)

Growing up in Germany, I started playing traditional trick-taking games like Skat or Doppelkopf from a relatively young age. I’m used to the idea of suits, trump, following suit, taking tricks, gleaning information from what cards others play and much more. Traditional trick-taking games sort of have their own language. So I love to see modern games developing this mechanism further and…
