Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)

Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.

× WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!

This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.

Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;

Two games enter! One game leaves!

Stab your neighbor, fuck your friend. Which of these two games is the superior experience?

I'm the Boss.

I wish I owned a copy, such a perfect game.

I'm the Boss is the perfect game. The only game I have ever given a 10. Designed by Sid Sackson, the master game designer and a absolute blast to play. I own 30-35 games and this gets requested and played 40% of the time.

Not even a contest.

I had a feeling you'd say something like that, Ryan :-)

If you ever get down to Portland, gimme a holler. I aim to buy this game tonight. I'm trying to figure out which other games I'm going to pick up along with it. Intrigue is a possibility, but not sure yet...

Lets break the trend here. I'm voting Intrigue because of the simplicity of this fraking game vs. I'm the Boss. Intrigue is 100% metagaming without a board or cards. It's also the only game I've played where it's perfectly legal in the rules to get offered a blow job. I'm all for BJs.

Vote: Intrigue

I'd say I'm the Boss is the more enjoyable game and a game I wish got played a lot more. Intrigue is a kick in the balls followed by a curb stomp. It's not a game that I would want to play more than a couple of times a year. However, that visceral mean-spiritedness would make me recommend it as a game any gamer should play before they die. For that reason:

I can only hope that my vote will get me one of these apparently ubiquitous blow jobs. Gather and gape, y'all.

Love 'em both, but with one small exception, everyone I play with loves I'm the Boss. Intrigue goes over fine, but as reformed CCGers, getting to play cards gives I'm the Boss the edge. The only downside to it, timing is tricky and inevitably leads to people waiting for the last possible second to play travel and I'm the Boss cards to wreck and/or steal a deal.

Good vote! I would say this is one of the things that creates so much tension in the game and makes it a lot of fun to play.

I own both and enjoy both of these great games. I recall a great game of Intrigue when a scientist applied for a job with me and I asked if he believed in Global Warming. He said yes and was promptly fired before he was hired! The resulting explosion was so much fun that it rivaled some of the best debates back in the War of 2006.

That being said, I'm the Boss is th eclear winner. A true gem of a game designed by the best game designer of all time, Sid Sackson.

Finally after all these years pulled the trigger and won this one in an EBay auction tonight for $19.99 (+$10 shipping). Supposed to be used but in mint condition.

Vote: Intrigue, by a factor of 1000.

I can't stand I'm the Boss. There's nothing worse than listening to people bicker over a deal for 10 minutes, only to have someone play an I'm the Boss card and restart the entire process.
