Which one of these are supposed to be my favorite?
I think this is the hole that sinks the ship. Catan at least is relatable, but am I going to play Catan with this instead of cardboard?
- mfragin 3y agoCouldn't agree more. I had an active computer programming club for years at the high school level. One year, some of the very same kids proposed that we start a "tabletop gaming" club. Computers weren't allowed. Nothing like pushing cardboard around to make a person whole again. :-) That said, I can see how something like this could be pretty cool. Instead of playing Up-Front and imagining that the terrain cards are now serving different purposes (like desert or jungle terrain), it would just look correct. Of course that says nothing about why 3D is necessary....
- seabass-labrax 3y agoGrowing up near the sea, my sister was given a copy of Settlers of Catan as a present. Within a couple of years, the damp air had warped the hexagonal cardboard pieces so much that you could no longer fit them together, let alone place the wooden 'roads' between them. You might not believe me unless you've lived on the coast yourself, but this device probably has a longer life expectancy than the cardboard version :)
