Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game!
Rules: -Play nicely with others here.
-Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
-Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Ahh thank you. Mystery solved.
Legitimately seems like it could be loads of fun!
Is that Trogdor?
I'm not sure if the Vs are consummate enough, and no angry eyebrows.
Somewhat meager amounts of burninating
I'm so glad people still remember Strong Bad.
For extra context, I found them in a storage room in an office in Denmark. I looked around and also asked chat gpt to no avail. I suspect maybe it's just a small local game.
I've got a few sets of those kinds of dice. They're good for off-the-cuff storytelling games (especially with children, as an exercise in imagination), good for spawning ideas for an RPG session, and even good for just sparking ideas for writing.
I use Tarot for this.
Like, you used devination to guess it?
Divination, yes. I use it as a mental exercise to foster creativity and guide my guesswork. I'm really good at pattern recognition/extrapolation, and my predisposition to meta-cognition is apparently very high, so I think of it as a way of getting me to consider possibilities I wouldn't have thought of otherwise.
I've been experimenting with 易经 (Yì Jīng) for driving ideas in RPGs and such.
