#WhatDidYouPlayMondays Feed The Kraken@boardgames @geekygoodies #boardgamesPretty solid German social deduction game. It gives up on minimalism to achievegreat replayability and balanced games. The mechanics are reminiscent of big USclassics like The Resistance and Secret Hitler.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/27Photo from the publisher's website.

Game components laid out next to a closed box which reads "Feed the Kraken -
Deluxe Edition"
 

#WhatDidYouPlayMondays Prey Another Day@boardgames @geekygoodies #boardgamesSimplest bluffing game I know. If you hunt using animals from the top of thefood chain, you have greater survival chances, but don't get the highest score.The strategic-depth-to-rule-complexity ratio is not low at all, and eventiebreakers give everybody a shot at winning, so you are never really out of thegame.A quicker Skull done right. Also, I love the artworks.PH: @BG_Geek on BGG

A game of "Prey Another Day" using a German copy. Five animal cards are on
the table next to a reference card listing them. The cards are numbered starting
from 1.
 

How do people help MacOS GUI applications find user-installed executables on thesystem?@apple_enthusiastI have been helping a friend with a very modern Macintosh follow@bounga's tip(bounga.org/tips/2020/04/07/ins),but it does not seem to work anymore. Which is weird, since it was updated inJuly 2023.#MacOS

@ryedaft @boardgames BGG classifies Battlestar Galactica as semi-coop. Maybe they see switching invisible teams only later in the game as a sufficient condition. This is indeed enough to have the same player cooperate at times (and not just to disguise their true intentions) and compete at others. Although I am not sure this matches their own definition:"[...] cooperating and competing with each other throughout the game, whiletrying to complete a common objective."

    @boardgames @ryedaft BGG's top games in the "Semi-coops" and "Traitor"categories do have some titles in common (from the Nemesis and BattlestarGalactica series) whose only mechanic that could possibly be seen assemi-cooperation is indeed (a certain version) of the traitor mechanic.The page on semi-coops indeed claims that there are several ways to implementthem, and that the Grand Winner format (e.g., Republic of Rome, John Company) isbut one of them.

    #WhatDidYouPlayMondays John Company@boardgames @geekygoodies #boardgamesAll other semi-cooperative #boardgames I know focus on a clearcut distinction between (semi-)good players and traitors, given by secret personal role/objective card(s). This game is innovative in that everybody is driven by personal gain, and the only reason players don't screw each other over all the time is that people still need the company to stay afloat.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/33Photo by @bladerunner007 on BGG.

    A game of John's company in progress. A map of India is depicted on the game board. A card titled "President of Bombay" is also visible.
