@feddit.deI'm not sure how else I could describe what I'm seeking other than what I've put in the title. I love board games, and I love video games. My favorites are the ones that burn my brain and scratch it real good. Nothing relaxes my ADHD brain like being fully consumed and hyperfocused on some ridiculous puzzle.
Lately, I've been seeking games that fit the criteria of the title. And just to be clear, I am NOT talking about digital adaptations of board games. The game needs to be a video game above all. If it could work 'as is' in another format, it does not meet the criteria. The computer should add something to the experience.
That out of the way, some of my favorites, please share yours as well!
Deckbuilders/Card Games
Slay the Spire
Wildfrost
Tainted Grail
Balatro
I could keep going on about card games since they're the most abundant option, so I'll list a few other notable ones before moving on: Monster Train, Gordian Quest, Vault of the Void, Inscryption (more of a narrative/puzzle game than a deckbuilder really but it's really good in it's own right)
Tile Placement Games I don't really know how else to quantify these so feel free to give a better genre.
Reus 2
Mini Motorways
Frostpunk
Engine Builders All the factory games. I'll just list the big ones and move on:
4X Alright so I'm not well versed here at all. Civ has been my game since I was a kid, and unlike with deckbuilders, deviating from ol reliable never seems to interest me. My favorite is always whichever one is the newest, and I'm sure once the first xpac for 7 comes out it'll supplant 6 for me, as 6 did 5, as 5 did 4, and 4 did 3.
I've tried Crusader Kings 3, but it didn't grab me as I'd hoped. Own Stellaris, but haven't tried it yet.
TTRPGs I'm not well versed here either, and I'm not a fan anyway. I put a few hours into Gloomhaven and just did not care one bit. Also have played ~10 hours of Baldur's Gate 3, Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2, and a few other's I'm forgetting. Simply not a genre for me, but perhaps folks will have recommendations for those who enjoy.

I could list some puzzle games and such as well, but then we'd be here all day.
Please contribute to my ridiculous steam wishlist by dropping recommendations below~
I just played a round of Machi Koro with a friend, and at a certain point, he was far behind. He didn't have many buildings that grant money on other people's turns, and the rest of us had also purchased a lot more red buildings than him.
I'm looking for ideas of house rules that make help provide some sort of catch-up mechanism if you're far behind. Do any of you have any tips?
If it matters, we usually play with the Harbor expansion, but are willing to play without it as well. We're already considering it because of how extreme the Tuna Boat can be.
hey All,
I love organizers and have been delaying for too long on some of my games.
what are some of your favorite organizers and accessories?
in addition finally got one for Spirit Island recently but the two I really would like and haven't done yet are dead of winter and mansions of madness. would love some advice
I've got every expansion for mansions and so right now they are in a crazy setup with a knitting crate that holds everything pretty well given all the minis, but if there is anything out there that you guys have found for quick setup I will be all over it.

An overview of the journey so far.
Hey guys, the new instance feddit.org is online, actually still in the test phase, but everything is running smoothly, while we at feddit.de do not know how things will continue because the admin is not available and the website is down. The future of feddit.de is uncertain. Feddit.org is managed democratically by the non-profit organization fediverse.foundation in Vienna, where the servers are also located. The administration consists of 3 feddit.de people and one from the foundation. You can decide for yourself whether you want to move the community to feddit.org or stay here, but the option is there. Wanna move?
