AWS BuilderCards
- stuartjohnson12 2y agoI want to know how the budget planning meeting for this one looked.
- mingus88 2y agoIt’s just marketing. They were giving out decks at re:invent and putting attendees together for starter games. And as someone who has many friends who dove deep into the modern board game craze, there is nothing more exhausting than having someone sit you down and exuberantly teach you the rules for yet another game that you will only play once, because the next time you see them they will have another awesome game that you just have to play. I think this one is a “deck builder” game which is some kind of variation on dozens of other deck builder games, with different skills and perks and unit to trade in. As someone who is old and played countless hours of simple dominoes or other standard card games with my friends I think I am less into learning a new game that is essentially disposable than I am focusing on enjoying the time with the people I am playing with. So yeah, taking time at a huge conference to sit down and learn AWS Builder Cards with a table of strangers was not fun, relaxing or rewarding for me.

- laurent_du 2y agoThis honestly looks fun. Too bad I work from home, don't think my kids would enjoy this too much.
- daft_pink 2y agoI’m really curious what it would be like to play this with your children lol
- PedroBatista 2y agoWhat's the hourly cost? or it's charged per play? I don't see the pricing.
- asdz 2y agoIt charged when you display the card. It can detect the light with the photoresistor sensor when it facing up. Also additional fee per thousand request when you put down or lift the card.
- gessha 2y ago> Use your resources wisely, acquire more AWS Services each turn, build Architectures and claim the Well-Architected points as long as they're still available! And see your cloud bill go through the roof.
- corpMaverick 2y agoInteresting. Just a shower thought, but it looks to me that learning to build cloud solutions is amenable to use the case method famously used in Harvard Law School.
- znpy 2y agoi have a deck of those... it's lame ? for example, it's not clear what the actual objective of the game is. they look nice, but they're dumb (as a game).
- genericg33k 2y agoIf you're a pro-boardgamer it's maybe not satisfying, but looks like many enjoy it: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/390566/aws-buildercards https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/390566/aws-buildercards
