I see all the time people say in their reviews or roundups 'but it's not too similar to X to have both in my collection'. What are some examples of games that you find too similar to need both?

And of course, this is totally subjective, so please be polite if you disagree! 

Personally, I don't feel like I need **Codenames** and **Decrypto** and I got rid of **Star Realms** when I got into **Shards of Infinity**.

<p>Personally, I don&#39;t feel like I need <strong>Codenames</strong> and <strong>Decrypto</strong> and I got rid of <strong>Star Realms</strong> when I got into <strong>Shards of Infinity</strong>.</p>
</div>

What games ARE too similar for you to own both?

 Although the old Kemet (not sure what the components of the new Kemet will look like) is kind of in an uncanny valley situation. The miniatures are flashier than cubes, but are crappy compared to miniatures from many other games. If they had CMON (or better miniatures) that would be even fancier than their current miniatures. However, if done well and they were tasteful, I probably wouldn't be horribly upset with them

I've been very interested in **Too Many Bones** as of late, but it's  hard for me to justify the price tag. I know chip theory wants their stuff to be completely waterproof and have great presentation, and I can't see them changing their mission statement anytime soon, nor do I expect them to. With that being said,  when there isn't really a gameplay benefit to fancy components, I would love to see some of these companies do budget versions of their big games. TMB for example could just have cardboard tokens instead of the poker chips, and replace the neoprene mats with cardboard as well. 

I've seen a number of Kickstarters doing this recently, like The Great Wall and Oathsworn,  having a base pledge version without minis  and having addable options for fancier components for those who can afford/want to trick out their game, rather than have just an already deluxe base game. I think it's a great way to make the hobby more accessible. I also realize this is mostly an effect of kickstart games, and the majority of retail releases do aim to be as budget friendly as possible. 

So what game would you like to see a budget version of? Kingdom Death Monster without minis? Oathsworn with cheaper cardboard components?

Which big expensive game do you wish they had a de-luxified version?

Haven't gotten rid of any board games in a while, though I'm thinking of letting go of **Puerto Rico**. I haven't played it in nearly a decade, and, well, the theme just gets worse and worse the more I think about it.

What's in and what's out? Let's talk about what new games have you played this month and what made them great (or not so great). Do you see them standing the test of time?

On the flip-side, what did you get rid of this month and why'd you let them go? Did the game not gel with the group, did you just need more space on your shelf, or was there something else wrong with the game?

</div>

What did you add to or removed from your shelf last month? (August, 2021)

 This one here below it, if I buy this one, I get this creature. I get this snake he's the guy comes with this, and the snake is good because he cancels out other large creatures and any unit that he's with gets a +1 movement, and so the blue tiles are mostly defensive. Tiles, there's all different things. Here'S another creature! You can get here is a victory point

 So you have to be careful with with innopolis. You can show up in that, if you transport from my pyramid, so you get to these temples very quickly and you want to get to these temples because they give you victory points and they give you extra prayer points at night. So they're very useful thing to have. You can also move your people, one space which doesn't seem very far, but there's a lot of ways to increase the movement speed of your folks

 But when you do get one of these, it's yours for the rest of the game now for the course of the game, you're going to be using your troops to attack other people, you'll start with ten of them, but you'll have more as time goes by when You move troops, you have different opportunities. You can always pay to prayer points to teleport from a pyramid to any of these obelisks all over the board. So you have to be careful with with innopolis. You can show up in that, if you transport from my pyramid, so you get to these temples very quickly and you want to get to these temples because they give you victory points and they give you extra prayer points at night

Kemet Review - with Tom Vasel

 The power tiles need to be grabbed up, temples need to be occupied, pyramids need to be developed, there's plenty to do in a short play time. I like that it rewards aggression - building up and just sitting there is a surefire way to lose. The only real beef I have with the game is that I wish it came with more player aids describing the power tiles. Only one is included in the box

 The miniatures representing the monsters are excellent. It's hard to believe that this is an older game, as the it looks pretty modern. The power tiles need to be grabbed up, temples need to be occupied, pyramids need to be developed, there's plenty to do in a short play time. I like that it rewards aggression - building up and just sitting there is a surefire way to lose

Aggression

**Kemet Blood and Sand**: Found out this week that my groups first play of this game we got some rules wrong, which meant when I went to play it at 2 players we fudged some of the rules but I had corrected some of our previous mistakes. Nonetheless we had a great time and are looking forward to a 5 player match to really get everything going on the board!

Daily Discussion and Game Recommendations Thread (July 30, 2021)

**Cryptid** (4x3P) I love how quick and elegant this one is. I've played **Search for Planet X** which has a similar idea on a grander scale and while that one is also a lot of fun, I think I might prefer how streamlined Cryptid keeps everything.

**Kemet** (1x3P) First time ever playing this and I was tasked with teaching and unpacking (complaint: Matagot included no storage bags for any components). Ended up taking us around two hours but it was a lot of fun. In the pros column it was easy to learn, had a fun combat system, and was filled with interesting decisions. In the cons column, it was a pain figuring out what all the tiles and DI cards did, the manual was terrible, and it sagged a little at the end

What Did You Play This Week? - (June 21, 2021)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
 Two words: Robot Turtles. This game teaches kids 4+ the ins and outs of programming in a fun, tactile game. Perfect for 2-5 players, this game has levels of increasing difficulty, introducing obstacles and more complex Code Cards. Beginner to Advanced levels will make it a family favorite for many years! 

 FROM THE MANUFACTURER 
 Robot Turtles is a board game for kids inspired by the Logo programming language. It provides crucial brain development and computer programming skills to children as young as 4 years old in the context of family fun. Players dictate the movements of their Robot Turtle tokens on a game board by playing Code Cards: Forward, Left and Right. When a player's Robot Turtle reaches a jewel they win! If they make a mistake, they can use a Bug Card to undo a move. The game has many levels so, as the players advance, they will encounter obstacles like Ice Walls and use more complex Code Cards (like lasers to melt the walls). Play continues until all players collect a jewel, so everyone wins. Beginner to Advanced levels will make it a family favorite for many years. It includes a large Game Board, 40 Tiles, 4 Robot Turtle Tiles, 4 Jewel Tiles, 4 Code Card Decks (45 cards in each deck) and instructions. 2-5 players can play at once and everyone who gets the Robot Jewel wins.

Wirecutter

A simple card-based board game for 2 to 5 players that stealthily teaches basic principles of programming.

Bower's Game Corner

 With a board game that requires parental oversight to be usable, it's either too guided to learn by trial-and-error, or it becomes frustrating quickly and the kids give up.  I hate that this review sounds so harsh since I truly love what this game is trying to do but I just don't see it working well because of how much parental oversight it requires. Note: I had my daughters try out web-based computer teaching games and they took to it much quicker and could solve problems they struggled with on the board game.

Good if you have the time to work with your kids on it, not so much for self-play

 But anyway getting off on a tangent those are the real cons I have not going to be for big strategy gamers or gaming groups or anything like that this is purely for kids. Moving on to the pros though Robot Turtles I saw it on Kickstarter which it absolutely tore up Kickstarter and they instantly appealed to my heart I'm a preschool teacher they said this is for ages 3 and up and I was like I'm getting a copy of this game I got it I brought it in my classroom and let me tell you this game went over like gangbusters they loved it they went crazy for this game it got to the point where I said alright I'm not bringing it in for a week because I'm sick of playing it with you guys because they wanted to play it so much. They're all aged from 3 to 5 and you can definitely see one thing I loved about this game was you can make it more or less complex based on how advanced the children are but a lot of the times I would have 3 year olds playing and I would have 5 year olds playing and I could set up the 5 year old side of the board to be more tricky and I could set up the 3 year old side of the board to be pretty clear and it really adds a nice deal of customization there so you can really play this with children anywhere from I'd say ages 3 to 6, 7 and you're kind of pushing it. They're going to have a lot of fun with this game

 Everybody goes until you get a gem and you know I understand some people like to play that way. I don't and I'm a preschool teacher I like to have one winner or two winners but not everybody wins because that's not realistic that's not real life. But anyway getting off on a tangent those are the real cons I have not going to be for big strategy gamers or gaming groups or anything like that this is purely for kids. Moving on to the pros though Robot Turtles I saw it on Kickstarter which it absolutely tore up Kickstarter and they instantly appealed to my heart I'm a preschool teacher they said this is for ages 3 and up and I was like I'm getting a copy of this game I got it I brought it in my classroom and let me tell you this game went over like gangbusters they loved it they went crazy for this game it got to the point where I said alright I'm not bringing it in for a week because I'm sick of playing it with you guys because they wanted to play it so much

 Next, you are going to have stone walls and you are going to have ice walls. Now the stone walls, once you set them there, they are an obstacle. You slap and you say bug and that means that you get to redo your maneuver so let's pretend you turn this way you get to redo that so you move it back and then you can take the yellow card and move that. But any who you are going to try and get to your gem and once everyone has got to their gem you can all have a big old hug and say hooray Billy you got your turtle to your gem because turtles need gems

Robot Turtles Review - Bower's Game Corner #132*The Best STEM Family & Childrens Coding Board Game?*

 What does that even mean, Bowers Game Corner?

 Ahoy there, YouTube, I'm back again today for another game review.

 Today I'm checking out Robot Turtles from ThinkFun.

 Ages three and up, it'll take about five to fifteen minutes to play, and in Robot Turtles

 players will be steering around turtles, shooting lasers, melting ice, trying to get the jewels.

 Alright then, we're going to take a look at what you're going to get inside of Robot Turtles.

 First and foremost we've got our handy dandy rule booklet, which what, it doesn't have

 When I opened this up I was excited to get it, and this really soured me at first.

 The other thing that kind of bugged me was that half of this rule booklet is literally

 just thanking backers, but they got so many backers I guess that's kind of necessary since

 Other than, aside from the staple issue, the rule booklet is pretty well done, it's pretty

 easy to understand, it's a very simple game.

 One thing I like about the rule booklet is they really have it so when you start off

 and it's really easy mode and they can make it progressively more difficult and more difficult

 and more difficult, and I really like how they did that with the rule booklet and with

 The last thing I want to mention is Robot Turtles dot com, I went on that website, there

 is tons of stuff about this game, maps and stuff that you can make, so if your kids really

 get into it, definitely check out the website.

 Now moving on to the game itself, let's go over the components.

 We're going to have five kinds of tiles in this game.

 So the first kind of tile you're going to have are your turtles, there's going to be
