#WhatDidYouPlayMondays Fury of Dracula (4th edition)

@boardgames@sopuli.xyz @geekygoodies@mastodon.world #boardgames

Tried Fury of Dracula for the first time on Friday. This did not stop us from playing it again yesterday rip. Unlike in other hidden movement games, Dracula's moves are fairly constrained. After the chase starts producing results, Dracula's options become predictable. Because of this, it sometimes feels like the hunters know about Dracula's plans and can organize to intercept him during his travelling. I found this aspect in particular to be extremely thematic.

#WhatDidYouPlayMondays John Company

My second time playing this anti-colonialist title. I like how the mechanics help the players better impersonate the "bad guys" by having them constantly backstab each other while managing the same company. The final outcome is given by a simple ranking by score. Because of this, I am wondering what's preventing a player from having the company go bankrupt as soon as they get a slight edge. Is it the fear of ruining the whole game for everybody? Is it the Company Failure deck being super-random? I would test this myself, but I would need to be in the lead first lol

#WhatDidYouPlayMondays Whitehall Mistery

Longish hidden movement game (think Fury of Dracula) with a very simple gameplay. Compared to the predecessor, Letters from Whitechapel, this title has been greatly streamlined. Mum and dad caught me a few steps away from my last kill ​:blobcat_sad:​ Right now I am waiting for Beast to be delivered, as I am trying to get more into the genre

Okay I know I keep playing/talking about this title but isn't it rad how the game lets you choose whether you will be a traitor or not for yourself? Sometimes I realise I don't have the mental energy for keeping the mask on throughout such a long game, so this is a lifesaver.

#i386 machines running #Debian 12 Bookworm

Debian 13 drops support for i386, which is bad news for my parents' laptops. I don't have the time to help them hop on a different distro right now, but I wonder if anybody here is in the same boat.

@VoidLinux@chaos.social and @alpinelinux@fosstodon.org, my two faves, still offer support. FreeBSD demoted i386 to tier 2 in 2021. What else is out there?
