Trashdome: Magical Athlete vs. TotAN

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.

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!

Magical Athlete vs. Tales of the Arabian Nights

Vote: Tales of the Arabian Nights

some say that it's barely a game but I don't care. It is a great storytelling machine and the stories are always hilarious.

Not sure how to compare the two other than them both being a lot of fun that you don't have a ton of control over. It's like comparing a handjob in the back seat of a car with a weekend of endless sex parties; both are pretty awesome, but one is clearly taking it to a whole different level.

vote: TotAN

Yeah I'm seeing apples and oranges, or peanut butter and chocolate but none the less I will vote ...

TotAN

I paired them up because both are amusing to the same people, in my experience. They are generally just "sit back and goof off" games, though they are totally different in how they do that.

VOTE: handjob

*Magical Athlete: 20 minutes to learn and play. Fits in the glove box.

ToAN: What, I gotta read that book? Hurt my back trying to pick it up.

These games aren't exactly in the same weight class. Why not pick on someone your own size?

How about:
Magical Athlete vs Fairy Tail
ToAN vs Battlestations
Karaoke vs Falling off Your Deck (yes, those are things you do when you're drunk, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't make great games).

No one says the games have to be similar.

VOTE: handjob

Depends on the car.

I can't remember that EVER mattering.

Maybe if the car is on fire? Or it's a humvee in the middle of combat? Though some might find that extra thrill alluring!

That's because you imagine yourself receiving one. Uba doesn't have that luxury. There is the space for arm movement to consider.

vote: Magical Athelete and ONE weekend of endless sex parties.

Like I've said before, I'll never forget my brother's assessment of TotAN 2 turns into his first play.

"I feel so dirty. First, I turned tranny, and now I'm blowing wizards for money... What the fuck is this we're playing?"

You find me another board game where that's a conversation you could feasibly be having, and I might vote for it. Until that day...

Vote: TotAN

vote: TALES

It's awesome fun times
