Sometimes, when you're playing a game for the first time you look at or attempt to use some of the components and you go ..

"Wait! What?"

This list proposes some answers.




Disclaimer: I should point out that some of the games on this list are amongst my favourites, and that I am well aware that game designers often don't have any say in the final graphic design of their products.

so we will have this score track that goes around the outside of the board and goes to 100.
wow, that's alot of buried treasure for victory points.
no, no. i said it goes to 100, i didn't say they would score that high.
oh?
yeah, they will be lucky to get past 40 points.
so, you set a high goal for them?
yup, so they can feel better about themselves when they don't have to go that high.
oh, ok.

"Hey! Know what? Lets put little wooden cubes into that bags!"

"Are you crazy? there won't be pictures on them!"

"Ok. Then what about the Evil Gods? Should we give little beautiful statues to the players?"

"No! They will be chits too, made out of paper!"

"But..."

"Look, if there are paper chits in the bags, the evil gods will be chits too!"

"You know what? Do what you want!"shake

I have coffee on my tie, shirt, my computer, and I now need to reprint several documents...

One of the secretaries just brought me a roll of paper towels because I spewed coffee twice in the course of five minutes.

hilarious geeklist!

I was gonna add a game with:

"What should the scoring track go up to? How about 80? Nobody's ever gonna get more than 80 points, right"?

but sadly there were too many games to choose from.

"What's a typical score for a winner? About 85 points? Ok, then let's make a score track that goes up to 80, so he is clearly separated from the losers."
