Captures

The opponent moves its queen back and forth non-stop until I make an attacking move. This is not how chess is played. Furthermore, I have 3 knights left and 2 pawns and the opponent 1 pawn somewhere a bit below the middle of the board and the game is failed for me. Why? The reason cannot be a stalemate.

Blood Bowl: Chaos Edition

This game falls in one of two categories: You will love it immensely, or you will hate it and wish you never played it.

For starters, it has a tremendously high learning curve. I’ve put my share of time in with both this and the legendary edition and I’m still learning new tactics. Couple that with every single team having their own specific playing style that you need to learn to a certain degree, and you have a death sentence for a new player that isn’t patient enough to actually learn the ins and outs of the game.

You will discover new swear words you never knew you needed.

This game is frustrating. Let me say this right off the bat. It. Is. Frustrating. Between the rather convoluted rules and the insane randomness. This game is a pain to get into., especially if you’re unfamiliar with the table-top or previous incarnations. The tutorial helps a little buut the ingame documentation is done in absurdly fine print and is a pairn to read. this is one of those games where you will do most of your learning via play and by play I mean getting your ass handed to you a few times. Once you do learn…the game becomes deliciously satisfying. Still frustrating as hell but the furstration makes the successes all the more satisfying.. Oh there is nothing so great as tackling a guy on the opposing team and sending him to morgue.

Blood Bowl: Chaos Edition on Steam

Blood Bowl 3

Put on your cleats, buckle on your helmet, adjust your shoulder pads and breast plate… and (discreetly) tuck a sharp dagger into your belt.

War disappeared in the Old World when the inhabitants decided to resolve their differences by playing the god Nuffle’s sacred sport: Blood Bowl. And yet it is no less bloody than the battlefields it has replaced. Murder, mutilation, cheating, corruption, sorcery and even divine intervention come one after another on the pitch, to the delight of everyone watching!

Merciless, not brainless – Take charge of a team from amongst the 12 available races, each with unique characteristics, and stop your opponents from advancing by carefully positioning your players. Dodge or mercilessly eliminate whoever gets in your way and reach the end zone to score the decisive touchdown! Naturally, the best strategists should have an edge, but… who knows? A rampaging troll might eat a teammate and change the course of a match.
You’re the boss – Create your team, recruit your players, customize their appearance, emblems and armour, recruit cheerleaders and a coach, then take part in the most ferocious competitions in the Old World. But beware: injuries are commonplace, and it’s more than likely that some of your players will be carried off the field in a body bag, bringing a definitive end to a once-promising career…

What’s new in Blood Bowl 3

Based on the official rules of the latest edition of the board game, with new skills and overhauled passing mechanics
12 races to choose from including, for the first time in a Blood Bowl video game, the Black Orcs, the Imperial Nobility, the Old World Alliance and the Chaos Renegades
Fields with special game rules to vary the types of match
New customization options for your coaches, cheerleaders, teams and every piece of armour worn by your players
A solo campaign open to all races
An improved competitive mode with new league management features and an official ladder

The brand-new solo campaign

Play with the race of your choice
Take on teams sponsored by the most influential parties in the Old World
See how you stack up against star players who are now the faces of major brands, including the legendary Griff Oberwald

LUXO Buddies

Fun fact: NEARLY what it promises to be. One of the most classic games? check.

Which we all know and love? Doublecheck.

Assortment of exciting new features? I seem to be blind, can´t find them.

But who will care for features (choose your portrait wisely, guys and gals out there, as you can´t seem to change it… same is true for your player name) when the fun is real - at least when one loves this good old card game as much as I do.

Enough review, I need to go back to Multiplayer Lobby and play some more =D

I could never match up with friends in multiplayer. The multiplayer seems fake - it just sets you up with bots.

Blood Bowl - Legendary Edition

For sale on steam: Membership to a cult.

Specifically, the cult of Nuffle - Chaos god of random shit happening in an amusing way.

Welcome to Bloodbowl, a turn based tabletop sports game/religious ceremony of Nuffle based off the Warhammer fantasy boardgame of the same name.

For those unaware of Bloodbowl and what it is. It is essentially what happens when you take (American) football and set it in the Warhammer universe. For those who don’t know American football, players take a ball and try to run it into the opponent’s endzone, at the other side of the field.

Oh boy, this f#cking game. I must be honest, all I knew about this game is that it was violent, and that I had played a demo around 8 or so years ago. And well, seeing it with a big sale like that, I couldn’t really hold it and decided to buy it. Is it bad? Is it good? As usual I’m gonna start talking about what it does worse, then move up from there.

First and foremost, the worst part of the game has to be it’s difficulty for new players. It’s a board game of sorts directly ported to a video-game… But as it usually happens, good board games are complex as all hell, and that translates poorly for new players. It also doesn’t help that the difficulty spike is directly at the start: you create your own team and then suddenly you’re thrusted with little knowledge of how to play against teams that actually DO HAVE QUITE THE LEVEL ALREADY. Your team will be on a sick losing spree from the beggining because, even though the game says there’s around 140 or so teams on the game, you’ll be playing against the same mid-level ones over and over. If I start on a 0 prestige league, WHY THE HELL PUT MID-GAME TEAMS ON IT, EVEN ON THE LOWEST DIFFICULTY!? IT’S STUPID. However that’s switched around later, when your team actually gets levels and becomes decent, the enemies are actually rather easy to predict.

Mahjong Club

This game has a very clean and accessible Tutorial menu, which is very easy to use and read Yaku from. I have been teaching myself Mahjong for about 5 days.

The first 2 Days were horrific, I had no idea what I was really doing, or why I wasn’t winning or losing when I thought I should be.

Day 3 I bought this Game.

By Day 4 this game had taught me all of the basics of Mahjong and I was ready to move on to advanced tutorials - Day 4 also saw my first ever win, which was against real players, and I won with a fairly complex hand of Terminal and Honours, achieving a total of 7 Han, with open hand penalties!

For any beginner or player looking to play with bots, this is a great tool. The tutorial covers terminology and yaku extremely well and newcomers can really benefit from this sort of explanation. I think the explanations on the more advanced stuff like scoring is a bit brief however. The presentation is super friendly to new players and I suggest they try it out, much better than lots of what is online.

Story mode is lacking purpose. The portraits aren’t well drawn enough to be worth an entire mode where they do nothing but interact. Add some actual mahjong in there, or better yet, implement some of the rules and principles behind the game and have it act as a tutorial at the same time.

So far, it seems everything there works in the game. It has helped me a lot.

After nearly 60 hours, I think I’m starting to get the basics of this game. Once you understand some of the common options for building your hand in a unique way, like Tan yao, shii toitsu, when to have an open hand using Dragon or Wind tiles and when that won’t work or won’t score very high, etc., then you can make better calls about what to discard.

This game saved my life.

I am 27.

My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and adopted our son together. They are now both 4 years old.

When we were going through our separation, I found myself lost and miserable. I was self destructive. I got so mad one day from everything spiraling out of my control that I punched some concrete in a moment of overwhelming emotion. That caused me to break my 5th metacarpal in my right hand… my working hand… my games hand.. the hand that I held and carried my children to bed with.. The hand I desperately needed to make sure I could continue to provide.
