@rocket9 I was making a silly joke to clarify that the dice have the correct number of dots.

@rocket9 There many pips there? Like, between two and twelve pips most rolls?

Let's talk regrets! Specifically where games ended up too complex, too overloaded with gimmicks or too blinged out for your enjoyment in c/boardgames@feddit.de

@Cargon Age of Steam is fantastic. Really highly recommended. Might have dislodged Brass Birmingham as my favorite game.
Of the cubes, I'd recommend giving at least 2007's Chicago Express a try (also called Wabash Cannonball). It's extremely interactive between players, and I can teach it in about 10 minutes. It's on BGA now, but I know that doesn't work for everybody.
If the interaction is what you're digging, I think you may dig it.

@Cargon @Carighan What do you think of cube rails games? Something like Chicago Express, or South African Rails?
