what's the most entertaining task from Taskmaster that you'd like to watch a friend do?

bonus points if it's actually feasible to do, like it's cheap and easily accessible

provide me the season and episode it occurred in please

I'd love more planeswalker decks. I think I've got all of them and it's my go to for quick Magic games with anyone. Would love to add more options to it.

That was one major factor to me not buying it. Seemed fun otherwise but if I buy a "traditional" boxed board game then it should have everything in the box. Maybe those boosters should be available separately but im not a huge fan of that either.

Swoop [Beanie Babies] vs. Zetalpa, Primal Dawn [Magic the Gathering]

Propaganda (if any) under the cut! Please be civil, and feel free to reblog!

Zetalpa propaganda:

The back of Ugin's fridge has a dozen Tupperware containers festering cultures of mold never seen before.

Mike Hawk, huh

Tony Hawk being like "yeah Mike Hawk is tiny"

I'm getting together with some friends next month and we've decided to turn our annual board game week into a game competition. We've got a trophy for the person who wins the most games.

We've also got a handful of medals to be awarded for other things (I think we've got enough for 4 categories). Likely by a vote just based on our personal opinions at the end of the week.

Anybody want to suggest some potential award categories?

Here's the final list of options. Let me know if this isn't a great way to get it and I can type it all out or something. I appreciate all the suggestions--I've altered some to best fit my group (and the final draft will probably be tweaked more), and if anybody else uses any of these I'd encourage them to tailor it to their specific play group.

Game categories are based mostly on what I think, with some guidance from BoardGameGeek. For example I've decided Photosynthesis, Wingspan, Agricola, and Scoville all count as nature games if I use that award.

I think some of these make more sense to award a first, second, and third place to while others don't. So some will get the medal treatment based on our votes. For some of the others I had another idea.

We're going to track and overall winner who will be crowned (probably literally) king for the year's competition. I've decided the first duty of the new king will be to award commendations at their sole discretion. Probably roll Hemingway and Ramsay into one food/drink award that's gained this way. Mills Lane will definitely get this treatment. And my hope is that if we keep this alive year after year then the king's commendations will encourage us all to be more hands on with learning rules/teaching games, and upping our culinary game.

Thanks again, I don't think I would have gotten to that without brainstorming like this.

Alright here's the final list (sans tag lines):

I bought frames in bulk so with 50 cheap frames I figured I may as well have that many awards. Hammered down 52 and cut the two I felt were least fun/useful.

Here's an example of what some of the award certificates look like (and the King/Duke here is the KoS and DoD on the list above):

The end result is a little bit shoddy with how cheap the frames are and how quickly I got this together, but it'll work. And once the awards are divvied out I'll encourage people to improve the frames they won for use next year. I also added space on the back to record who wins which award each year so we can have a record well into the future.

@ordinaryotter678 Reading your original ask my first thought was also that you were complaining about Cactuar. Mark tries to answer a lot of questions pretty quickly so I'd guess he likewise read a negative connotation in it. Just for ease of reference, the ask was:

I've bolded the parts here that I think seem to convey an overall negative opinion of not just Cactuar but of un-cards or cards that feel that way showing up in black border.

I think a more effective tack with Mark would just be to let him know that a card (or set or theme or whatever) is sillier than what you'd like to see in Magic. I think he'll still let you know they think silliness has a place in Magic but it won't come with an aside about what seems like an attack on a group of cards/sets that he is the champion of.

Specifically this helps differentiate them from artifacts. Artifacts can have colored mana now for balancing, but that was a hard learned lesson that came about because of game design needs. Making some enchantments colorless just to do so isn't a good reason to do them. There has to be a need that fulfills in a set.

I think I'm one of them I think.
