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!

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 on it. End your first post in this thread with the title of the game you're placing a bet on (i.e. voting for) so its clear to me when reading it later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. Counting expansions or not is entirely up to you just as playing with them or not is. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.

CUTTHROAT CAVERNS is a much funnier and a lot more interactive game. Vote: CC

CC FTW

I can see the comparison but a better mathcup might be Cutthroat Caverns vs. Red Dragon Inn. They both 'take that' games came out at the same time from smaller publishers and managed to carve a niche in the market. I enjoy them bith but CC had better replayability and variety.

I was thinking the same thing about CC vs. RDI. I've not played CC yet, but have at least watched several games. It certainly seemed like it was more fun that RDI, which seemed kind of, I dunno, pre-determined in a way.
Drakon vs. Cave Troll perhaps?
Anyway, for this particular trashdome, I'd have to go CC even having not played it. Drakkon is fun but not nearly as rollicking a good time...

Never played Drakkon, but Cutthroat Caverns is amazing. Easily a best in class sort of game, especially once you get some of the expansions in the mix.
Agree totally

I knew it.I haven't played CC, but I've had a lot of fun playing Drakon. It's a total gang-on-the leader thing, but in a fun King of the Hill (the game, not the show) sort of way.

vote: Drakon
Because its a cleaner design that plays quicker. Both feel like fillers to me but CC goes beyond a filler length. It also tries to get too clever with some of the encounters which can become confusing without really adding to the fun. The "initiative based monsters attack in this part but non initiative based monsters attack in that part" frankly should have been designed out.
Drakon as it stands is pretty much perfect for what it is.

Drakkon is kinda cute (I own it and enjoy it) but it's definitely false advertising...this ain't no dungeon crawl, it's a programming game in disguise where you're trying to generated positive feedback loops, then move your dude through them. I like it, but it's no adventure game.
Cutthroat Caverns is a lot of fun too, and manages to give a multi-player adventure feel in distilled form. The different creature battles with their own rules keep things interesting, and if you want to win, you'll have to do some backstabbing...but not TOO much, because you need these people to cover your ass for as long as possible. Great game, plenty of fun. Have to give it the nod in this matchup, for sure.

What I do know is that vanilla Drakon and vanilla CC don't include variable player powers. However, Drakon has a variant in the box that includes abilities or some-such. If you want powers in CC you have to shell out another $25. Really? I understand holding back for an expansion, but this seems like a bit of gauging for what should have been in the basic set.
vote for getting it right: Drakon.

False advertising my ass. The box says Drakon is "a fast-paced game of chases, tricks, and traps." That's what it is.
Seems to me like you just saw the dragon on the cover and assumed it was a dungeon crawl game. That's a problem with your own personal biases, not the game.
