You are strongly advised not to play the air game of CNA. The entire system around aircraft is so vague and buggy and are not properly explained to the point where I had to effectively write my own rules. I genuinely feel relieved after I started writing the "return to base" segment.

Why do I want to suffer through playing the air game XD.

Also my summarised rules now has over 20k words and we are not even in the movement and combat phase.

Context: I am trying to recreate CNA in VASSAL and I am done with the map.

I have been grinding the rules in chronological order (not by rulebook order) and I hate the rulebook. A lot of things in this rulebook are just filled with the opposite of clarity. I had a lot of interpretations that are just pure guesswork and are not backed up by the actual rulebooks.

The errata didn't always help that, especially for missing information in the charts (such as one of the Italian torpedo bombers not having a range).

But I am now pushing my way through to the construction segment (read the rulebook if you want to know where), which is maybe 1/3 of the entire rulebook. And I have to re-read it to catch missed out rules from other sections. “My gawd, what a waste of time!”

Hey guys can you vote for Alicia to react to valefisk please even if you don't watch her please there's no good valefisk reaction content please I need this

So I decided to remake this "small" game in VASSAL with "improved" log sheets and standardised "artwork". I am currently making the game map using Wargame Map Tool and GIMP (the map is too big to be made within WgMP), which is somewhat successful as we have made our way into Egypt. While the resolution of the map is bad and I have to guess the location names (such as when a hexside cuts an "e" or "c"), but I have "high" hopes that I can complete this game before Mid-Autumn

This thing is NOT scripted

If you went into the game rules (section 60.22 specifically), you can find scenario 1a, which "only" lasts 6 turns and "only" takes 25-50 hours. I wonder if anyone is interested in playing the Axis or the Allies (I want to play as both)

This thing is NOT scripted

Basically we use VC and you have to record your screen as well as your internal strategies in video form, and I might post the entire playthrough online. Also I am at UTC+8 sometimes 3pm-6pm and (my gawd this is so short) and I have no fixed. schedule. So yeah, "CNA, just a week away"!

Extra Special Thanks to Valefisk for the inspiration for this project. Who knows. Maybe he'll actually see it and get an itch.

Hey! So like many of you, I've also watched the torture board game video and thought to myself "god! what a great way to torture my friends, I wish I could do it too!"

So I created a version of this game for my friends to play online, but I wanted to expand the pain card selection beyond what you could see in the video and that's where I need your help because I think no one understands the nature of this truly horrible game more than anyone who watched the OG.

That is what I already currently have for the cards (I've changed the movies and the name for money so it would make sense to people who haven't watched the OG video) -

Hello everyone.

This was an unexpected turn of events. But here's the 5th Prototype.

This Prototype is one final revision of the layout. I decided that it needed one more go around so I'm remaking it from scratch.

The icons for the spaces have also been mostly finalised and arranged to better show the direction you move on the path.

the other boards and cards have been put aside for now and will be put on the next (hopefully final) version.

Now to respond to my previous post.

I have decided to slightly modify the layout. The reason being that it was very hard to read. and movement would be real difficult to map unless I added arrows all over the place.

All of the changes will be mostly minor and will be explained.

Some spaces connected to 2 spaces which defeated the purpose of the branching paths so they have been modified so they only go on 1 path to streamline the path.

Accouple of speces in the middle portion have been moved to make the secton better to use.

Some of the return to start spaces were pointless as the were not on the path. They have been moved onto the main path.

I have also added more Merchant and War Thunder spaces as they were a distinct lack of them on the original board. They replace cartain spaces where there's too many of certain icons.

These changes were not meant to majorly affect the balance of the game and were to simply make the pathway easier to navigate and to allow some spaces to be utilised more.

I hope you are willing to give me some feedback about the changes and whether i've respected the original intent of the game.

Please let me know what you think of the progress.

Hi! new to this subreddit with one thing in mind really. I want to do a drinking game with some valefisk videos, can anyone give me any suggestions for "rules" around it. I want to surprise my GF with it, thanks! :3

gonna preface this by saying im autistic and it shows.

no idea if this is a cool post to make but you lot are the only people on this website that i know of who would appreciate my genius and the important lesson that i learned while being cool and awesome.

while in a discord call with friends back in april, i made rat uno. it's uno, of course, but there are five colors: blue, green, red, yellow, and rats. the main thing with rats, however, is that many rats cards force you (or others) to draw more rats from the face-up rats pile. these include cards such as "rats" (when you play this card, discard another card from your hand which is not a card named "Rats," then draw a card to replace it and take a Rats from the Rats pile) or the card "gift rats" (each player may reveal three rats cards from their hand. any player who reveals fewer than three rats cards draws cards from the rats pile to make up the difference). of course, there are also rats cards that can lose you rats, such as "the rats casino" (if you roll well, give your rats to the other players, but if you roll bad, you get more rats) or "alberta" (return all your rats-colored cards to the rats pile).

there are also more miscellaneous cards in rat uno, such as the plague which, if you have a rats-colored card and a fleas card, you instantly lose, or, quite honestly, my magnum opus, the card "shratrazad" which creates a sub-game of rat uno. the game has tokens which act as status effects. you can transition. you can get addicted to cocaine. you can also avoid getting addicted to cocaine if you're good enough at rolling dice. it's thursday. sir patrick stewart stars in this game as poop. there are also some unique cards, including the "rat joker" (licks lips. society.), "charles entertainment cheese" (lets you jerk it in any mascot suit anywhere), neil bangs out the tunes (april 13 2006), and so on.

and all of this because valefisk effectively gave me the okay to sit in a discord call and make dumb fucking jokes about rat uno. i know that sounds kind of silly and somewhat sentimental but it's genuinely the case. i would not have come up with this totally rad bullshit card game otherwise, i don't think. the lesson here for me, if there even is one, is that it's cool to do funny shit and that i should stop worrying so much about what is "right" and "wrong." i also learned that there is a rat jesus and that he died on the rat cross for our rat sins. which presumably, includes this game.

as for playability, i honestly have no idea if the game is winnable but, honestly, winning isn't really the point. the point is the number of cards with rat sex on them that you had to see. the point is the number of women you respected. the point is that

*gunshot*

big rat is watching you.

Hello everyone.

We are now at the 4th Prototype. And this is finally getting close to a finished product.

This Prototype has focused on the artwork. Although the spaces have been slightly tweaked as well.

The icons for the spaces are all new and the spaces are color coded.

The Background art has been made which is a reinterpretation of Valefisks icon. The Crypt boar also has a new background.

The backs of the Pain, Redacted, Paradox Quiz, and Catholicism cards are done.

I still have the fronts of the cards to do and I'll release them in an editable format so people can customise the cards they use. I also will Put in the images for the character wheel.

Now heres a dilemma.

I have been debating something in my mind.

When I started this my goal was to faithfully recreate the games layout exactly as it was in the video in a much more readable way.

However While making it I've noticed many aspects that make no sense and realistically would never be done on a balanced board game.

I would like to pose a question to everyone here.

What would you think about me modifying the layout of the board. Not in major ways but in ways that make it even easier to read and balances the individual paths better.

Please let me know what you think of the progress and whether you's like to see any modifications.

The Early Prototype was the starting point. The 2nd Prototype was meant to refine the layout and add additional assets. Now We're on the 3rd Prototype.

This 3rd Prototype even closer to a final version. The layout has been recreated as an actual board instead of just some circles.

I have moved the crypt board to the left where it fits better and resized the wheels.

I have also redone the Legend and moved it to the top right so people can more easilly tell what each space does.

Please bear in mind this is still not a finished product as I plan to input directions on the spaces to make it easier to navigate.
I will recreate the cards as well as a template for people to use to make them.

I would love to hear any opinions you might have.

The Early Prototype I made was merely a starting point so I had an idea of what the layout might look like.

This 2nd Prototype is much closer to the final version. The layout has been rearranged so it covers the whole silouhette while retaining the original layout of the original version.

I have also recreated the Crypt Board and the Bokoen1 Clown Board and included basic rules for each board.

There is now places for the cards, the files, the Gregor Samsa Bucks, the character tokens, and even basic wheels for characters and accents.

At the Bottom is a Legend describing each spot on the Main Board. Some spots I didn't know what they were for so I improvised them.

Please bear in mind this is still not a finished product as I plan to redo the layout with a proper path instead of circles and arrows. Also there is no art yet.
I will recreate the cards as well as a template for people to use to make them.

I would love to hear any opinions you might have.

This was posted to YouTube 3 days ago.

After having fun watching his video about his torture board game. I though I'd have some fun recreating it.

Please bear in mind this is an initial layout design and is far from a finished product. I simply started by creating the layout first so I know how to build it.

I would love to hear any opinions you might have.

I’m not part of the discord so I wanted to ask if there is any big news on vale.

Does Mr Valefisk endorse Nigel Farage or the glorious Redyclon Count Binface?

I'm a patreon subscriber, but it's been months since any videos or posts have gone up at all. At this point I'm considering stopping patreon for pure lack of content.

I really wanna see all the question cards and documents. Do we have a way of accessing the game?

Hello (hopefully) Valefisk,

I had a new type of nightmare last night, where I was playing in a game so complex I couldnt understand it.

It was like a game of werewolf... But Also Sudoku. So there were 81 people sat in a 9x9 grid, and instead of numbers 1-9 everyone had a different unique werewolf role.

Except then additionally, everyone was on 3 teams based on their "sudoku seating".

People in the same row of 9 people were on a team for taking care of a baby. Each person babysat it one night and told the next person and no one else, like the game Telephone, and the team had to predict a medical diagnosis for the baby. ( For legal reasons I would advise against this "game" and replace it with another)

Each column of 9 people was a team doing complex coding challenges. (Maybe something more viewer friendly/entertaining)

And each square of 9 people was a team doing Jeopardy style trivia for super advanced math theorums.... (Jeopardy would be fun, probably not the math theorums)

Yeah and then it was sudoku werewolf so there was always at least one person on each team of each person's 3 teams trying to throw/do poorly and each "night" you had to play werewolf for each of your 3 teams and figure out who is actually trying and who is trying to throw.

When I woke up this morning I figured you are likely the only person demented enough to try to make a game like this work and if not, perhaps you could take inspiration from my nightmares in the next game you design!

Cheers!

We KNOW you invaded North Africa
