Played Munchkin last night. Jebus, is there a game more likely to make the players want to kill each other? Maybe Sorry, but it's close.

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
I thought Monopoly was the big relationship destroyer.
ReplyDeleteDiplomacy. That is the worst.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind playing it once in a blue moon but you have to be detached from the results emotionally. It's too random. So you just use it as a vehicle to be social in a nerdy way I guess. Not much of a game.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Moe Tousignant. I refuse to play Diplomacy anymore. If I really want that sort of "fun", I'll try out for Survivor or Big Brother, and at least try for a cash prize...
ReplyDeleteFor some reason my nerd friends really like it but while we play I really don't like them
ReplyDeleteMy feelings on this game should be obvious.
ReplyDeleteIan Reilly I've had that experience. I sit there and watch them and think ... if this is what it means to be into geek fantasy stuff, maybe I need to rethink my choices in life. ha ha.
ReplyDeletemonopoly is that game for me. someone could probably make a better game out of it by adding some sort of arsonist or contract killer mechanic to it by augmenting chance and community chest, or if you land on baltic or mediterranean where the hit men and arsonists live.
ReplyDeleteA nice, friendly game to enjoy with your half-price Applebee's apps, Stephen Holowczyk?
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I really don't hate the board game tracker - I thought it was a gimic until I used it - it is actually more useful than everyone having their own D10 or D20.
