Molotov Cockatiel Games (Bill)5d ago

I understand not every game resonates with everyone, but please explain reviews like this to me. This is for Sea Salt & Paper, a card game. Was the expectation that he'd be allowed to take the cards he wanted every hand? Imagine discovering luck exists in board games. Poker players, you've been going about it all wrong.

@molotovcockatiel I think it’s fair to review a game poorly if you don’t like it, even if it does what it’s trying to do well. The 1-10 rubric is about how willing you personally would be to play the game, regardless of reason.

That said, they marked it as own. If you don’t like luck, why would you buy a game that’s clearly rummy-esque set collection? I’m not gonna buy a *opoly if I don’t like traditional roll and moves (which I don’t).

@gemini6ice Of course everyone has their preferences but giving a card game a '1' because, "just pray you get the cards you need," (literally the description of every card game) sounds more like user error than any fault of the game. 😂

@molotovcockatiel @gemini6ice the only counterpoint I can see is that they were gifted the game instead of buying it on their own. I don't know why someone would buy a game with a mechanic they don't like but then again, the shops are full of things I don't understand why people would buy either so maybe I'm not the best to judge. 😆
