Hawaii on Yucata.de. We played this on BoardgameArena last time, and the UI has enough issues that I wanted to try Yucata which sometimes has good implementations. Uh, no. The Yucata version is much worse. It’s a shame that there just doesn’t seem to be a halfway-decent framework for building these games - so many contemporary games are so structurally similar that it seems like there ought to be some help. It’s a good reminder of why BoardgameArena became my preferred site it the first place. Not because it’s good, but because it’s better. Anyway, Hawaii is pretty fun, and I could trade for a copy. It takes 5 players! But it’s still in this multiplayer-solitaire/tableau-building genre that’s just really, really limiting. Hawaii has a little more interactivity than many through its oblique bidding mechanic, but it’s still just not enough to pull that far away from the raw engine-optimizing narrative. #gaminginthetimeofcovid19 #boardgamegeek #boardgames #bgg #virtualgameday #tabletopgames https://www.instagram.com/p/CCZdnznh4bd/?igshid=1wdzdmqutnzag
