    Looking for a game recommendation for a travel vacation. Two people, looking for game with moderate weight/table footprint. For people who have enjoyed Catan, Wingspan, Terraforming Mars, etc.

    I like the Terraforming Mars board game but it always seems that I go for a corporation that does X, and then get cards that exclusively cater to every other letter of the alphabet. I'm like "I need solutions to generate power" and my entire science team are "Hey I just invented a tardigrade."

    So yesterday tried Harmonies again--highly recommended for a quick game good for 2-4--and tackled a long game of Terraforming Mars, which I had not tried. As good as its reputation.

    Still thinking about a major hobbyist game like Terraforming Mars using AI art for their new release. It just devalues the whole industry. Here we are trying to make art and they're just like "Gobble this up, piggies. Eat your slop."

    Remarkable how quietly everyone in this industry excuses Terraforming Mars. Even in offline spaces, people get very uncomfortable if anyone brings up the horrible things people behind this game have said.

    Tonight I won at the board game Terraforming Mars. This doesn’t happen very often, but I still have a better success rate at my virtual attempts than the 0% chance Space X and their god-king will have of their attempts at the real thing. Anyway, it’s a good game that I have never seen explode.

    First time I played DAYBREAK (by the incomparable Matt Leacock and promising newcomer Matteo Menapace) I finished with “this is the game I wanted Terraforming Mars to be” It’s fantastic, feels amazing to win, fosters values camaraderie like no coop board game I’ve seen And made by good people

    A teenager (17?) is navigating the footpath with admirable swagger. He's got the sideways baseball cap. The low-slung jeans. The neatly ironed 2Pac T-shirt and a clank of silver chains. He veers into a toy shop and heads for the board game section. Terraforming Mars is where it's at. (4)

    Played another recent euro darling today: 2024's SETI. Very similar in concept and theme to Terraforming Mars (and complexity, but only compared to Mars with several expansions). 10/10 on aesthetics, I love the spinning solar system board.

    Daybreak is a phenomenal game, I can’t recommend it enough!!! I also just love cooperative games. Fun fact: Terraforming Mars is supposed to model capitalist competitive space race, but if you discard the aggressive stuff & play coop you terraform Mars better & faster & make more helpful techs. 🤔

    I'm sad to find out that Fryx Games is run by transphobic chuds. They made Terraforming Mars, but I guess I'm just not gonna play that game and will never buy anything by Fryx games ever again. Damn shame.

    Absolutely not surprised that Terraforming Mars is now using AI (stands for "art infringment) software to create their game. Always been the company and the brand that was on the bleeding edge of the zeitgeist.

    What upsets me most about Terraforming Mars using AI art is that it's an established game with millions sold (or at least a lot). They've made money, this isn't some struggling indie trying to afford to make a first game look better. They could afford any artist, they just chose to save a few quid
