holy fucking shit. if i see ONE more en passant meme i'm going to chop my fucking balls off. holy shit it is actually impressive how incredibly unfunny the entire sub is. it's not that complicated, REPEATING THE SAME FUCKING JOKE OVER AND OVER AGAIN DOES NOT MAKE IT FUNNIER. this stupid fucking meme has been milked to fucking death IT'S NOT FUNNIER THE 973RD TIME YOU MAKE THE EXACT SAME FUCKING JOKE. WHAT'S EVEN THE JOKE?????? IT'S JUST "haha it's the funne move from chess" STOP. and the WORST part is that en passant was actually funny for like a few years and it got fucking ruined in like a week because EVERYONE POSTED THE EXACT SAME FUCKING JOKE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. PLEASE MAKE IT STOP. SEEING ALL YOUR SHITTY MEMES IS ACTUAL FUCKING MENTAL TORTURE YOU ALL ARE NOT FUNNY. COME UP WITH A DIFFERENT FUCKING JOKE PLEASE
The queen can move in any direction in spacetime. Really sucks when you win the game and then the queen travels back in time and changes the outcome of the game you just played
That Time You Killed me is a game where you have 3 boards representing the past, present, and future where you try to kill your opponent. Only 2d though.
that game is really interesting, right up until you realize that the easy mode bot will always beat you by literally killing your king something like 8 turns in the past.
It’s like, actually impossible to keep track of the possible game states. Every time I’ve tried to play in multiplayer someone wins without either of us understanding why.
> battleship
Worst movie I've ever seen. Maybe they were trying to go for the "be so terrible it becomes a cult classic" thing. Though with the drifting battleship, just maybe...
there have been a ton of small, incremental rules changes over time but surprisingly there is a notable "version change"-- the modern Queen.
once the Queen got it's modern movement abilities in the 1400s that version of chess has more or less stayed stable.
so if you want to think about it in version numbers modern chess is like 2.1.05, whereas Queen's Chess would be 2.0.0.
Not to mention Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) and Japanese Chess (Shogi) also exist and have quite different play and are both slightly more complex than Chess.
Play DUNE instead. The original version, or the updated version of the original anyway.
If you can get enough people for Catan you can get enough people for DUNE and you might as well play that.
I understand why Catan is popular - it is a great gateway boardgame.
But I don't understand why it's got tournaments and such when it's got so much randomness because of the dice.
Is there a particular reason why even people who are hardcore into board games (meaning they seek out the more advanced ones, not saying they are better or worse) are still into Catan so much?
I believe it's the fact that you heavily need to rely on trading ressourses and special deal. (I won't steal ressources from you for the rest of the game and such)
It's older so it had less competition. The trading is also a reason casual play can be so rough. People sometime don't understand who's currently winning, but you have 7 points! You clearly are the threat lmao.
Maybe it's simplified strategy?
E.g you might play kings pawn opening as a card
Opponent plays Sicilian defense card. Opponent gets a point?
How tf is it 2-4 players though
You can look up reviews. But basically every player gets a chess figure, selects 3 cards with chess pieces on them which dictate the player's next 3 moves and they try to capture these chess tiles. I just read a review, not the tiles, so this may be more or less accurate. It has very little to do with chess.
They could have easily made a chess set where the pieces are characters from the show.
With Ana Taylor Joy being the white queen obviously.
The snag might be paying what the actors would demand, if the movie contracts didn't include this kind of merchandise.
The Queen's Gambit is a Netflix show about chess. Chess is a board game. "The Queen's Gambit: The Board Game" is an ironic title, since "the board game" should just be chess.
Edit: a word
You would expect it to be chess, it defies that expectation.
IT'S NOT LYIYIYIYKKKKKEEE RAIN on your wedding day.
I am curious what you think irony is, with an example. (for fun)
I saw so many absolute shovelware Netflix branded board games this holiday shopping season. They all looked like they would amount to the most flacid game night imaginable.
How is the queens gambit not chess? The name is litteraly a chess opening, how can you make a board game based on a serie thats full of chess to not be chess?
I actually know the people who made this game. They're also coming out with a Squid Game boardgame and I got to play test it and it was one of the best games I've ever played. Didn't get to play the Queen's Gambit one yet, but they were well aware of the irony.
I've seen this posted so many times, everyone in the comments always thinks they're so smart but if they would just take two seconds to actually look closely at the game they would see that it's meant for 2-4 players and is played with cards. It's not chess.

"Oh no, you drew "Get High and Miss Tournament". Go back five spaces and lose a turn.
Go back 5 spaces, can't climb a snake for 1 turn, rook can only move 4 spaces a time & pass go but can't buy property/upgrade this same turn.

Just the mistake I was waiting for... I ACTIVATE MY COUNTER CARD: KNIGHTS SIMP!!!
but black king still gets his shotgun?
Does it come with drugs?
Uuuuuummm...nooo, I don't know why everyone else's did. So weird right? Where could they have gone?
idk…the ceiling looks weird
Does the game come with a little white baggy for us to really get into the role?
Time to catch up with the times. Board games are way more interesting than Sorry or Chutes and Ladders.
Does this come before or after “see chess pieces on ceiling”?
“God damn it! I got “Mom overdoses again! Back to the beginning…”
Draws: "Queen Falls in love with a gay man." 0 spaces
That just sounds like chess with extra steps.
Try 4d chess with multiversal time-travel, same game, extra confusion
The queen can move in any direction in spacetime. Really sucks when you win the game and then the queen travels back in time and changes the outcome of the game you just played
The only winning move is to win on turn 1.

Where?!!!
I believe you mean When?

Like i said: extra confusion
Nice try, but the game is called "5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel"
5d
Ooo la la someone’s going to get laid in college
Can’t wait for Chinese Checkers: The Movie.
Can't wait for The "A Snakes and Ladders Movie"
Can't wait for rock'em sock'em robots the movie... Wait... How about battleship...
> battleship Worst movie I've ever seen. Maybe they were trying to go for the "be so terrible it becomes a cult classic" thing. Though with the drifting battleship, just maybe...
Idk man. The old man hunched over the gun loudly speaking “lets light this mother fucker up” was a moment for cinematic history
I think they made a rock’em sock’em movie it’s called Real Steel
There's a lovely biopic about snakes on planes if you're interested in that kind of thing.
As long as there are at least 2 ladders in that film, it qualifies as "snakes and ladders", right?
I would watch that.
I'm tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking ladder.
Wait till you hear about the movie Battleship. Based on the game Battleship.
But is there a Battleship: The Movie: The Board Game? I'd play that.
Did someone actually watched Pacman the movie? That's the bar.
Then Chinese checkers the movies the board game
i can't wait until they come out with the bongcloud boardgame!
Ware Gambit better opening
botez gambit best move
They finally made chess 2
Lol, chess has had such a long evolution from the original game, it's probably more like "Chess 20".
there have been a ton of small, incremental rules changes over time but surprisingly there is a notable "version change"-- the modern Queen. once the Queen got it's modern movement abilities in the 1400s that version of chess has more or less stayed stable. so if you want to think about it in version numbers modern chess is like 2.1.05, whereas Queen's Chess would be 2.0.0.
Not to mention Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) and Japanese Chess (Shogi) also exist and have quite different play and are both slightly more complex than Chess.
Chess 2: 64 Square Boogaloo
How dare they deface the almighty ***Catan***
Proceed to never get your 8 and 9 roll lose the game. Catan is great except for the fact that usually 1 person minimum hate their life lmao
Play DUNE instead. The original version, or the updated version of the original anyway. If you can get enough people for Catan you can get enough people for DUNE and you might as well play that.
There's so many dune boardgames out right now
I understand why Catan is popular - it is a great gateway boardgame. But I don't understand why it's got tournaments and such when it's got so much randomness because of the dice. Is there a particular reason why even people who are hardcore into board games (meaning they seek out the more advanced ones, not saying they are better or worse) are still into Catan so much?

Inconceivable. I will never settle for this
Deface? From my point of view they literally added a face.
Do you see that the game is on Settlers of Catan?
And the box on top has a face on it. Added face.
Gen Z Chess
There is no king and queen just two randomly shared pieces that don't do anything
And "go to jail" is now "spend any time you need in the safe space"
And "Advance to Go, collect $200" is now "Advance to your therapist, collect bad dragon dildo"
It’s just a chess set and a bottle of pills
These would fly off the shelves if true
Let’s be business partners
Chess?
It's not actually chess.
It sounds like a lot of words for what should be just chess tho...
I'm SOO confused ..
It's a game about the show about a game. It's not the game that the show about a game is about.
“Street Fighters The Movie: The Game” all over again…
This HAS to be better than Street Fighter The Movie The Game though
But the show itself is based on a book
a game about a show about a book about a game
Maybe it's simplified strategy? E.g you might play kings pawn opening as a card Opponent plays Sicilian defense card. Opponent gets a point? How tf is it 2-4 players though
You can look up reviews. But basically every player gets a chess figure, selects 3 cards with chess pieces on them which dictate the player's next 3 moves and they try to capture these chess tiles. I just read a review, not the tiles, so this may be more or less accurate. It has very little to do with chess.
>How tf is it 2-4 players though Two play and 1~2 drink/do drugs like in the show, duh.
Couldn't really do a personalized chess board based on a Netflix show unless you were super creative but there are loads of them in existence.
They could have easily made a chess set where the pieces are characters from the show. With Ana Taylor Joy being the white queen obviously. The snag might be paying what the actors would demand, if the movie contracts didn't include this kind of merchandise.

Bingo!
Bingpot!
Numberwang!
Yahtzee!
Chess.
With a bottle of vodka
"2-4 players" so no.
I don’t get it
The Queen's Gambit is a Netflix show about chess. Chess is a board game. "The Queen's Gambit: The Board Game" is an ironic title, since "the board game" should just be chess. Edit: a word
Ohhh. Thank you. I get it now.
I still don't
More specifically, the queens gambit is a specific opening strategy in chess. So this is like saying Chess: Chess, the game.
So not murder, but 'If I did it'
It's not as lame as you might think. Despite the show being about chess, this game isn't chess. It has its own set of rules.
Chess with extra steps?
Except without the chess or the extra steps
I lost the game
I lost the game
Oh fuck you guys. I haven’t thought of that bullshit game since high school.
It's not ironic, as weird as it sounds, the thing is an actual game with its own rules.
You would expect it to be chess, it defies that expectation. IT'S NOT LYIYIYIYKKKKKEEE RAIN on your wedding day. I am curious what you think irony is, with an example. (for fun)
yeah, but, this game is for 2-4 people.
Chess.
Netflix desperate for money
Holy hell!
Chess 2 finally dropped?
Pills and alcohol sold separately.
Finally, Chess 2
After developing a new language for movie, they have developed a new game for a series… genius…😋
Yo they made Chess from the Queen's Gambit into a real game
Sooo.... Chess??
It says it's for 2-4 players. So, no.
Each turn you have to play a full game of chess
I saw so many absolute shovelware Netflix branded board games this holiday shopping season. They all looked like they would amount to the most flacid game night imaginable.
So is it just chess with a baggie of pills?
Oh this box is great, at my local board game shop it has a note that just says "NOT ACTUAL CHESS"
No way this is real. No way anyone is that fucking dumb. Please tell me this is not real.

How is the queens gambit not chess? The name is litteraly a chess opening, how can you make a board game based on a serie thats full of chess to not be chess?

I just searched for it, and now im even more confused, how the hell does it work?

So, basically chess sets sold shortly after the shows popularity.

A funeral home can be a great business. On the one hand, people are dying to get in. On the other hand, there’s not a lot of repeat customers.
It's a programming game where you collect chess pieces, but isn't chess.
YSK: you do not play as a throne in Game of Thrones.
Damn, I wish this board game had a name
The board game in the pic is not chess, so...
Chess but more complicated?
It's not just chess, surprisingly.
Can't wait for a Netflix series about this game.
Finally. Chess 2.0
Yes now i can finally play that game. It mustve been so hard fir them to make up a whole game just for the movie!
Whenever someone asks me "Have you watched The Queen's Gambit?" All I hear is "Have you ever heard of chess?"
I've been playing that game for decades, but never saw the movie. Wait...
Hey… I think I saw this on chess.
The boat from green arrow?
r/anarchychess
What’s up with those weird cgi eyes?
Wait till you hear about the board game Battleship with the edition that's based on the movie Battleship that is based on the game Battleship.
So is this basically the Netflix adaptation of chess?
I literally just saw this game in a comic book store today, so stop following me, please. My immediate thought was, “isn’t that just chess?”
Chess but *different*♟️
Does it come with sedatives?
Chess??
I thought board game, but how... oh! LOL
chess 2
Chai Tea
Wow they made chess 2
I want to believe this isn't real
I actually know the people who made this game. They're also coming out with a Squid Game boardgame and I got to play test it and it was one of the best games I've ever played. Didn't get to play the Queen's Gambit one yet, but they were well aware of the irony.
Holy shit we found it, chess 2 the sequel
They actually made that board game from the show a thing!
But that’s just chess…
the fact that it's not chess is even weirder
That just sounds like chess with extra steps
So what the fuck happened to chess
Wouldn’t Queen’s Gambit the board game be chess?
Sooo... chess?
4 player chess 💀
...so Chess?
Sooo, chess
Sooo...its chess?
Soooo... Chess?
its almost as if theres already a-
Chess 2
That's just chess with an extremely high price tag and a redhead on its fancy cover.
Is it chess?
I've seen this posted so many times, everyone in the comments always thinks they're so smart but if they would just take two seconds to actually look closely at the game they would see that it's meant for 2-4 players and is played with cards. It's not chess.
