So as some people have noticed, Steam Summer Sale's here, that point in the year where you buy all the games you plan on playing for the next several months because you know sales come regularly and you can't afford them otherwise. Or, is that just me?
Sal and I want to play games with people. We've had several things on our wishlist for a while that we'd love to play, but they require other people, and playing with people you don't know is dumb because you can't shit talk without someone getting ALL OFFENDED or whatever. Also, we have Discord now, so that's a thing. Anyway, I've been thinking of gifting some shit (like we gifted shit before), but I'm not going to buy this stuff for people if they're not going to play them. There are three games under consideration that we might get and play as a group, so tell me what you'll actually play.
note: Sal may potentially get, like, some copies of the runnerup as gift rewards for the Authors' Challenge later in the year. Maybe Q4, around Christmas.
#1) Armello ($12 on sale)
This is a cute and gorgeous computerized board game. The objective is simple: become the next King (or Queen) of Armello. Pick your character, some items, and go on your quest. Be careful, though, as the game only has a finite number of turns before it ends. It looked like hella fun when I watched it played, and it's gorgeous - did I mention it's gorgeous already?
The Cons: It's expensive at $12 (on sale), and triple that for the DLC. I can't afford to gift the base game to more than a couple people.
#2) Tabletop Simulator ($10 on sale; $7.50 ea. if bought via 4-pack)
You know it. You love it. This is the massive online board game simulator, and an example of what would happen if you took Desperate Gods to its logical conclusion (except it might actually work). The game comes with all the classics already, but also includes an entire workshop of thousands of free player-created board games and puzzles to play, as well as about 28 premium DLC games built and licensed by the creators of their physical counterparts. The game sets up the board for you, but that's it: no rules are enforced by the computer, and all moves are performed in a shared physical space, just like if you were playing a board game in real life.
The Cons: You can flip the table. Please don't.
#3 Golf With Your Friends ($4.19 on sale)
You golf. You minigolf. You minigolf with your friends. It's a fun little way to pass the time and get frustrated at your own ineptitude. Also, it's cheap, so I can actually afford to get this for several people.
The Cons: Literally none. I am not biased.
