"The King In Yellow" Challenge Thread

The king is once again dead, long live the new… or even older… or whatever, I am the king :joy:

Gg @Hardco.

@HolstenKnight got an all green deck pretty early. I tried to pick up whatever green I could, but there wasn’t much of an opportunity for me to keep up… Such is Cthulu Realms!

Gg!

Yeah, put me back in the queue…

I love my new king in yellow picture as much as I loved breaking bad :grin:
Thx @JammaTal

what kind of Bad Dad would i be if wouldn’t know what my boys love :yum:

even if in case of Ole that means…no boardgames or boardgame apps :sob:

must be my biggest fail as father. although i tried, oh how i tried.
i remember wishing me from him as birthday present to play a game of Trajan with Arne and me. and he won! but even that did not click for him :disappointed:
sigh…but…i will never give up.
but the more he loves digital gaming in all forms. handhelds, mobile, consoles, PC. a real “game devourer” he is, quite the contrary to @Private_Prinny LOL
he even rushed through tough cookie Darkest Dungeon in no time.
X-Com 2, Skyrim, Fallout 4 could all not resist for long.
each Zelda game ever published fell down so fast. several Monster Hunter games too. extra content included.
even Disgaea could not stop him. digging through level what-do-i-know (80? 90?) inside of some artifact sword. what a crazy game. he loves it as much as all Persona games.
and now he even studies digital game design.
but boardgames…no Sir.

…umm I might not get the message here but nowadays I am more devoured by my backlog than the other way around. And with my recent rant its pretty much evident that I am currently swinging back to handheld, console and pc away from the mobile desaster that is “not sure if that game still works in a couple of months or so”

And Boardgames? I am still waiting for my copi(es) of “Fleet Commander- Genesis” Admiral level. By the way a great KS campaign that was.
For the first time in maybe a decade I may have spent more money on plastic and cardboard than digital goods in 2016 (Magic: the Gathering, Ascension, Star Realms, Fleet Commander - Genesis, tons of Battlefleet Gothic Minatures) and that includes the purchase of a PS4 Pro at christmas :slight_smile:

no message, Officer Prinny, just a harmless joke on your gigantic backyard of unfinished games.
the same for me.
many dozens of unfinished games. sometimes short before the end. i don’t like to “finish” a much loved game.
i left Zelda Windwaker when i had reached the final tower/castle.
then Ole snatched my save file (had asked me for allowance) and finished the game.
but it really hurt that the save file was overwritten and gone then :frowning2:

i’m totally with you when it comes down to mobile gaming (esp iOS!).
no serious gaming platform (any longer).
i have lost so many games, “stolen” from my “purchased” archives.
on iOS we don’t “own” nothing. it’s all about leasing.
drives me mad.
i have returned to consoles and handhelds, just like you.
when there is a choice, i prefer console.
Steamworld Heist, the X-Com games, Battle World: Kronos, Armello etc

only exception is FTP stuff and are digital boardgames.
but some losses too: Alien Frontiers, Hacienda, Samurai (still in purchased, but pulled from appstore),
Qin (pulled), Stone Age (MP crippled), Assassin’s Creed CG, Solforge and more.
unsupported and no longer functioning on new iOS build, publisher out of business, pulled from appstore or vanished from my purchase archives or essential MP crippled by abandoned GC.
Playstation slogan is “this is for the Gamers!”
for iOS this would sound like pure cynicysm.

I am still the king after a good and close match against jamma… next… oh no, not my nightmare zebracadabra again. :fearful:

and ascend to #2 on the leaderboard as King Zebra III.

He doesn’t stand a chance.

:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

What happened? I think I’m up next.

Still struggling. He has me in his jaws, trying to compress the life out of me. I’m reading him Siddartha, trying to get him to go insane. It’s not working…
