Hey my fellow other-worlders! Double-A Battery gave me a brilliant idea while we were out scoopin' the hottest desert ever - that's Azul Ashengrotto, bee tee dubs, keep an eye out for the eventual opening of his Mostro Lounge! [ finger guns, how's that for free advertisement? ]

Anyway! Back in his homelife, he's a member of a Board Game club, which we ABSOLUTELY need to bring here! Honestly it'd be nice to play with people who won't threaten to kick me out of the will for losing. A-hem. Nothing too big or too serious, maybe just meet up once a month or more to have some fun! So I'm here to ask you all the super important questions - what are your favorite board games?

Hey, you know what, let's broaden our horizons - what's your favorite game, period! Lay it all out! I'm all ears, you just can't see them, because I'm a duck.

[Oh? Azul was not expecting the shout-out here, but hey, who is he to look a gift-horse (or maybe in this case, a gift-duck?) in the mouth when the opportunity presents itself, so thanks for that free advertisement there, friend.]

It's so hard for me to choose a favorite, as I'm sure you can imagine. [What with... being the person who told you about being in a Board Game club to begin with...] If I had to choose, I tend to like games of logic like chess, but I have also had a good time when playing Monoply or other similar types of games with Idia-san in our club back home.

[Aaaand no one is surprised that Azul Ashengrotto loves Monoply, since it involves money and controlling the board via claims on properties and businesses...]

If you want, Della-san, I can always give you a list of all the board games I remember having played at the club back home, and we can see which ones can be easily obtained or recreated in some form here with what's available.

[sos_pilot]

Hahaha, amazing! So other words have Monoply too, how weird! ... It's been a while since I played the OG version, though. My uncle loves playing his version. It's very awkward. We're all top hats...

... uh, yeah! Lists are good! The more info the better!

[octoblot]

[Then Azul will get to work on complying a list for her! In the meantime--]

Your uncle has his own version? I know that there are different versions of Monoply, but that's kind of impressive that there's one that your family contributed to making...

[sos_pilot]

[ She glances around, as if afraid her uncle will suddenly pop out of nowhere. ]

Trust me, buddy, it's not one that should be shared in the public. I love my uncle to bits and pieces, but the whole game is about him. His businesses, his deals, it's like a love-letter to himself.

His name is Scrooge McDuck and he named it Scroogeopology.

[octoblot]

Ah. I can see how that might get a little overwhelming to try to play with other people...

[although... could azul make a version of monoply based on mostro lounge... food for thought...]

What kind of businesses does he have, if you don't mind my asking?

[ What does "bee tee dubs" mean? What does "Double-A Battery" supposed to refer to? Should he ask? ]

I play chess. I know there are others who do so as well.

[sos_pilot]

[ to think, she'd finally be ahead of slang! ]

Great! I'd love to see some epic matches between you guys! I could use some pointers myself. I'm not great at the game, but it's a good brain exercise.

[ Being from the Victorian era is rough at times. ]

I cannot promise they will be worthy of being called an epic, but they should prove educational in the least.

[sos_pilot]

Hey, I haven't seen any chess games in years - trust me, even a short game will be epic to me!

[Wait... Is she saying she was spoke to a real battery? Because at this point, he'll believe it.]

Been hella while back since I played but Tin Pin was a big thing a couple years back. Used to play a bunch a' it with my sis and our friends.

[sos_pilot]

Oooh, I like the name! What is it, give me all the deets!

[stillarhino]

Aight, so you got a buncha pins and you gotta battle it out against others. If ya stop a pin you get a point, and if ya knock a pin outta the arena that's two points. If you's knocked out, you keep going until you run outta pins. Whoever's the last one standin' or who's got the most points when times up wins.

[There's a lot more nuance but least that's the gist of it.]

[sos_pilot]

[ so, beyblade? ]

That sounds like major fun! We gotta get in on that ASAP!

(Games! They're not as familiar with boardgames, but Legion loves to play.)

This unit enjoys videogames such as: Galaxy of Fantasy, Grim Terminus Alliance, N7 Code of Honor: Medal of Duty, and Fleet and Flotilla: Interactive Cross-Species Relationship Simulator.

[sos_pilot]

AW YEAH, VIDEO GAMES! I'm a little behind when it comes to how far they've come, so I have no idea what of what you just said is, but I can't wait to find out!

[forwearemany]

Galaxy of Fantasy is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing game. Grim Terminus Alliance is an action-adventure game featuring content found offensive by members of all species. N7 Code of Honor: Medal of Duty is a first person shooter. Fleet and Flotilla: Interactive Cross-Species Relationship Simulator is a dating sim.

You wish to play?

[sos_pilot]

I WANT TO PLAY ALL OF THOSE GAMES RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND!

[seasaltkeys]

Dunno about board games, but I like Struggle.

I've even won a tournament.

[Digital, but still.]

[sos_pilot]

Oooh, I'm liking the sound of this already. Tell me all about Struggle!

[seasaltkeys]

Uh, well, you're basically sparring with an opponent, using these foam bats. And you've both got these orbs, and the goal is to get the most amount of orbs before the time limit ends.

And you get 'em by knocking them off your opponent.

[sos_pilot]

Okay I love EVERY part of that sentence and I need this to come here RIGHT NOW! Your world is great!

[emet-sulk]

[emet_sulk]

Chess.

[sos_pilot]

Excellent choice! You ever play with Sherlock up there?

[emet_sulk]

No. I didn't realise the man had a fondness for the game.

And I do find myself rather busy these days. Surprisingly so.

[sos_pilot]

Then that's even more a reason to play! You gotta avoid burn-out, my man!
