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! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Edit: Title was changed since many people don't seem to get the term 'hilariously incompetent'.

Is it really hilarious?

Generic dude thinks gathering a bunch of friends and buying a warehouse of machines will somehow save years of overpromises.

Sounds like the presold games were fraudulently presented, with the customer base understandably upset.

Sounds like the presold games were reasonably priced, except for their nationalist agenda driving up costs.

Sounds like the "rescue team" had no business plan and little skill or experience at production, not to mention rescue.

How does this not read like "privileged boys club miffed customers want what they paid for"? Less than hilarious in the current class war climate.

'hilariously incompetent' does not carry the same meaning as 'hilarious'.

I'm leaning somewhere towards appallingly incompetent being closer to the mark.

But it's one of the dunces who wrote the piece, so I guess they'd rather use disarming language.

"Fucking nonces" seems to hit the right energy for me.
