Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

All that digital value!

[–]yeppersss 0 points1 point ago

An interesting premise. First all the board games are being recreated in digital format, then all the digital games are recreated as board games. It's like how retro or classic games are being remade so they have better graphics and controls. Except in this case the new games are harder to play and more of a hassle to set up. Logic.

How does this game continue to exist without being sued into oblivion by the various rights owners they're stealing from?

[–]BoringRyu 0 points1 point ago

Board game mechanics cannot be copyrighted or patented, only the design itself can be.

[–]UncleBone 0 points1 point ago

Still very surprised they've not been cease and desisted. I mean a good argument can be made that the board game is an utter rip off of Scrabble, simply with the scoring tiles moved slightly.

Finally, an original idea.

[–]MrMarkZ 0 points1 point ago

Not for nothing but this is an official Hasbro game. They teamed up with Zynga.

So.. joke fail.

[–]HugheJass 1 point2 points ago
