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.
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!

" and look at what you're dealing with: Rock videos, Space Spice, etc..."
That's one thing I liked about Duck Dealer; combine a yellow plastic bath duck with blue paint to get a stealth duck. It appeals to my weird sense of humour.
" look at all all the crop of adventure games without direct conflict"
Ah, yes, Agricola...
(Some TOSsers think it's just too adventurous.)

It is still the only game that does what it does. The others are great in their own right, but there has been some improvement on their genres. Gunslinger stands like a giant among men when it comes to western games.

I'd really like to know what games you thinking of in both the fantasy adventure and sci-fi exploring/trading genres... I do think all three games are the best at their respective genres, that's why it's so hard to choose between the three...

I'm a bit guilty of this myself because I don't play Magic Realm nearly as much as Merchant of Venus, but I still voted for Magic Realm... Still, from my own experience and what I've read about Gunslinger, it seems to be the less playable of the three... (MoV being the most playable...)

I haven't played Gunslinger, but I've played the other two. I'd like to know how many from those people that voted for Gunslinger are regularly playing it. My guess is not many...

Less playable? Gunslinger has a very reasonable play length and setup time, so it's way ahead of Magic Realm in terms of playability. I haven't played Merchant of Venus, but I suspect that is also a longer game, though possibly easier to play in terms of rules.

Only now I get what you meant with the good, the bad, the ugly ... oh well, shame on me!quozl wrote:
Are you crazy?Voters should label one game GOOD, one game BAD, and one game UGLY!
It will already be tough enough applying the tags: ALL TOO AWESOME, AWESOME and SLIGHTLY LESS AWESOME.

My solo MR games often take 20-40 minutes, or less if I die. (OK so that's on Realmspeak....Less playable?

" My guess is not many..."
If I could get a copy I'd like to try!
" I still voted for Magic Realm."
But you were championing MoV! One of us must be confused.

In the end all three games are probably just as good, so it comes down to taste...
