Lords of Waterdeep VS Colonist.io

Well for us we started with what many consider the entry-level, perhaps quintessential Eurogame which is Settlers of Catan. We got our fill of that and decided to branch out a little bit into "worker placement" games and we landed first on Lords of Waterdeep, which was a great entry point to the genre because of the heavy D&D theming. Our current worker placement obsession is Agricola, which doesn't have the D&D... Source: about 1 year ago

Lords of WaterDeep might also be worth looking into. It's been around for awhile and sometimes gets some hate, but it's a solid interactive Worker Placement game that plays up to 5 people, 6 with the expansion. Viticulture is also solid and similar to LoWD minus the reputational difference. Source: about 2 years ago

Medium-heavy Eurogames! I've played a lot of lighter games, but the heavier stuff looks so neat and elegant. I'm interested in Brass: Birmingham (trains!), Caylus (building in medieval France), Concordia (trading in the Roman Empire!), Great Western Trail (cattle driving like a real cowgirl!), Lords of Waterdeep (D&D theme!), Orleans (building in medieval France!), Power Grid and Scythe (dieselpunk!).

Hi everyone, I'm a beginner catan player. I play exclusively 1v1s against a friend but they always beat me. (Currently playing 1v1s on colonist.io to practice) I know the basics of the game like all the cards and ways to get points. I've tried the ore/wheat strategy and the 2:1 port strategy but I don't know which strategies to use when and how to use them effectively. I always seem to fall behind in one aspect...

There are many other commercial projects similar to this (colonist.io landover.io etc). None of them are open source though. This has been done in the past extensively (see freeciv.org, or Terasology, or 0 AD etc). Source: 6 months ago

I have whitelisted "colonist.io" on both tracking related Firefox extensions, I use since a long time – no classic adblocker, one is DuckDuckGo privacy, the other is "I don't care abot cookies". So I get served ads on the site, all worked well for weeks. But now it says I have to "disable abblocker"... (Downloading another browser is not an option for me.). Source: 10 months ago

You seem passionate about it, so you should definitely keep going > Hasbro is litigious > I’m not going to charge without getting sue I don't think this is a thing ? There's this website which is a web Catan game ( https://colonist.io/ ) which is at least as niche as Scrabble, and they seem to be doing well. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

Four player games against bots at https://colonist.io/ . TBH, the games would go a lot faster if the bots were faster. Source: 10 months ago
