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!

Trashdome - Runebound VS Magic Realm

My money would be on the homeless guy, but then again I'd also prefer to pull out Runebound over MR.

Shit, I didn't see this one. But I will pile on, for vote #9.

Never played either, but would like to try both.

Had I got in in time I'd have been happy to be a dissenting voice and vote for Runbeound on the basis that it's not MR which has, in my opinion, about the worst input effort for fun output of any game I've ever played.

Which is *not* the same as saying it's a bad game of course. Just that it's not good enough to justify the effort required to learn and play.

But I obviously didn't care enough to put a vote in in time, so the final tally probably deserves to stand :)

Been checking out reviews/opinions of Magic Realm, and I just have to say that this is the funniest Trashdown I've seen in a while.

Anyway, how much should I pay for this game? Are there any editions that I should avoid/look for? I heard some editions had god awful rules.

From what I've seen of your taste in games, Kookoobah, I wouldn't recommend Magic Realm.

But, if you're really interested, between 60 and 80 USD seems to be the norm. Don't worry about the rules. The 1st edition rules aren't anywhere near as bad as they're made out to be, and the other two iterations are available online.

If you do get it and have trouble figuring it out, send me a PM. I'd be happy to help you.

Specifically which of the games that I like / don't like are you talking about? So that I would have a better idea of the feel of the game.

Thanks, if I ever bite the bullet, I will take you up on that.

That's a great way of putting my problems with this game. I'd rather play Runebound (even though I'm not big on that one either) for this reason alone.

Vote (anyone counting this): Runebound... just to be alone.
