What The Dub?!

What The Dub?!

Overall, my gaming group loves it as an addition to the Jackbox stuff.

It is very well done and fun! You can make it as clean or as dirty as you like which means everyone can play. The clips are weird and esoteric enough that most people won’t know where they’re from and that is perfect. I hope they add more.

I do have some minor suggestions, though.

Something more for the audience to do. Maybe they could throw out suggestions on screen or something. Just a thought. Being in the audience can be boring at times. I know more players would mean more repeating clips, but maybe have the game know when there are more than 6 and only use short clips for that game so it doesn’t get too monotonous.

As an English teacher during this seemingly never-ending pandemic, thank you for this game! It’s so simple to set up and incorporate What the Dub into online lessons via Zoom, Microsoft Teams etc that I’d recommend it to any and all ESL teachers.

The included video clips manage to be both humorous in their dubbing potential whilst also being relatively simple in terms of their language that it allows students who are A2 level and above to reliably produce clever, funny or appropriately wacky sentences. Moreover, the simplicity of the game makes it suitable for everyone over the age of 10 and the price is very fair for what’s offered.

Rento Fortune: Online Dice Board Game (大富翁)

Rento Fortune: Online Dice Board Game (大富翁)

If any of you ever searched for a Monopoly like boardgame on Steam (or elsewhere) that you can pick up quick and play a fast game, without account registration or reward system that let you only play if you have enough coins in your account, you can’t find any untill today.

Rento fortune fills that gap for me in my gaming library and I’m glad I bought the game.

I was sceptical at first. The developer don’t have any other games on Steam and at first sight it looks very casual/mobile/tablet to me. But it offers exactly a well done Monopoly like game with the rules as you are used to or with new rules you can choose at setup.

Rento Fortune

Bought this one because I was looking for a “Monopoly-like” game. First I was very sceptical, but it turned out to be a great game.

Even though I probably have the worst RNG on this planet, I still had a lot of fun times.

Recommend to play this with your friends and hang out in Teamspeak, just for the tortune when the RNG-god strikes again.

Positive aspects I found in my playthrough so far:

  • Map decision: There is not only one board. You can choose from a ton of boards with a different land order.

Catan Universe

Catan Universe

I love playing Catan, but as other reviews have noted, there are some flaws with this online version of the game. They seem to come up more often when the AI is increased to Veteran or Master.

1. Trades with AI are often ignored. I approve them, the games acts as if it’s rejected. Eventually, you can only trade if you initiate, and you must get a ? port to have a chance to win.

2. The AI target the human player with the robber, even when the human player is losing. I had 3 points and no cards, but still the AI put the robber on me over and over when the other AI had more points and many cards. 5 times in a row at the beginning of the game, even after they’d robbed all of my starting resources.

Alright ladies and gents, listen up. As someone with over 350 hours on record, I’m gonna give you the low down of this online game.

TLDR; the rolling system sucks, full of bugs, development cards suck, don’t download or buy…yet.

So firstly, I must say that I am an avid Settlers of Catan player. I own every expansion available in the United States and play some form of the game at least once every couple of weeks. I’ve been playing for 17 years. I love the board game and have recently taken to trying variants such as Poverty is No Shame.

Give it a try, it’s a really fun variant which combines Checkers and chess in a way I haven’t seen before. Easy rules, has a decent AI, and the price is A-OK for what you’re getting.

Dragon Castle: The Board Game

Dragon Castle: The Board Game

A very good adaptation of a board game. You pick tiles (in a way similar to mahjong solitaire) and place them on your own board to form sets of the same color (there are other elements, but I will not detail the rules here). The presentation is nice with a practical interface. The game has a good variability with different layouts and advanced features that can be mixed in different ways (new objectives and actions). The solo mode, against AI, is a good way to learn the game. The hard AI is correct, but not as good as an experimented human player and could be improved. The game works very well for local multiplayer (no hidden information) or for online multiplayer. The matches are not very long and the atmosphere is relaxing, so an excellent quiet strategy game to play for twenty minutes or for multiple matches.

Real player with 10.5 hrs in game

Aesthetically pleasing, coincidental Mahjong solitaire with the added twist of building within limits, this game loses a bit without the kinetic tile movement but nothing is lost in terms of the tactics, art and concept of the board game. If you prefer a low conflict, Asian inspired game this is a winner.
