![]() ** abandon definitively is the in-game term. The advantage to this is: you know one of the blind cards your opponent chooses next (assuming you place cards or draw routes on your "real turn" and or you know what route cards your opponent may pick (something near where you think she is or something they'll have to ignore and take the point damage, or something you can easily block). ![]() If you blind pulled a rainbow, you will do so again. No matter what you do, when you return to the game, the cards are undisturbed. It's important you do not abandon the game. picking three additional route cards to select one, and not selecting any before quitting the game looking at one card (picking a face up that is not a wild card, or drawing one card) Make your partial move*, leave the game without abandoning** it, open it back up again. So I don’t have to see the juxtaposition of yet another Family Focus Review with that backdrop cutting their lives short.You can cheat on iOS on iPhone as well when playing against people via multiplay on Game Center. It is different to say the objective is to kill as many as you can and people are dying because you want them to. One can also “play nice” and just envision those little army men going to their little hospital and making a full recovery. If those games had civilians as figures or objectives, then I would object to them as well. I am not killing a bunch of collateral damage. But if someone made a game were you are the Nazis and competing to kill the most Jews, I would hope everyone would be outraged at that.Īgain, the difference it what you say about Rattus and M44 is that Civilians are not represented. I will have no problem with any WWII game that comes along. Perhaps we are too desensitized to the connection to care until something new comes up. War and games are intertwined from the earliest board games to sporting events. Merry nice reference to I do not see it as whitewashing but respecting the history, learning from it, hopefully not repeating it. So since we have come full circle, I’ll step off this ride. See, it is obvious and you proved my point I was making from the beginning! □ I am saying the games I “enjoy” are those contractors going to Iraq/Death Star and the game I “abhor” are those focusing on killing the natives. You are scolding me for making a distinction, yet go on and make the exact same point. ![]() This isn’t an abstract game focusing on one aspect of war (the combat between combatants) and ignoring the collateral damage, this is a game focusing on that collateral damage and how to maximize it. Innocents who did nothing wrong but be born. Tomorrow is the deliberate decision of “leaders” wiping out other people. You are just nudging it away from you and towards others. In the game, people are going to die as is historically accurate. Rattus was a natural disaster, not some malicious plan to reduce Europe’s population. M44 has combatants who chose to fight and that game focuses on those combatants – there is no innocent native citizens portrayed. I just disagree with your stand.īTW My friends and I have a rule that as soon as you bring up Jews and Nazis… you lose the argument. I don’t argue your right to make distinctions. but it’s up to them.Īs far as the Deathstar analogy… that’s a completely different subject, and I don’t think it has a direct correlation. I do suggest they could maybe keep adult-themed game ads in adult-themed game pages. A line that I don’t have, because I don’t see any actual content in the ad itself. However, I think you were scolding Boardgaming, because they crossed an imaginary line in your head. I do not scold you for making distinctions. The description of Rattus is that 1/2 the population of Europe is getting destroyed by the plague, and you use various characters to manipulate who gets killed… plain and simple.Ĭircular: The original comment I made was in defense of Boardgaming’s right to advertise a game that may have material you object to… but you have games that are pretty darn close to the same subject matter. You assume innocence as long as you are only controlling the troops or rats (blind to innocent people who die in their wake).
