Robin Graves 6,054 Posted January 3, 2015 Wich would you rather have? A good game with bad components (ugly miniatures, lame art, boring boards, etc.) or A bad game with good components (confusing rules but great art for example) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chargers 72 Posted January 3, 2015 Definitely the good game. I can pull components from other places to make it better. But pretty stuff isn't any good with a horrible game. 1 TheycamefromBEHIND reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TopHatGorilla 1,057 Posted January 3, 2015 Good game with ugly pieces. (like the ever popular colored wood block tokens) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parravon 5,217 Posted January 3, 2015 I've played a few "good" games where the game components have just left me wondering why they didn't put a little more effort in. I've even bought the odd bad game, just for the components. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robin Graves 6,054 Posted January 3, 2015 Bad game with good components: my group can usualy homebrew some pretty good house rules, and i rather have something good to look at. It's probably a bit shallo of me, but dammit;I've seen some stuff in my local gamestore that judging by art alone, i wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. 1 Parravon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coastcityo 324 Posted January 4, 2015 Good game with bad components all the way, I can upgrade the look myself, but I will be damned if I'm going to fix a bad game for bad game designers. 1 LordCole reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UnfairBanana 2,251 Posted January 4, 2015 Good game with bad components wins every time, because components can be replaced. Let's look at good 'ol X-wing: yes, the components are fantastic. But those dang cardboard punchouts? Replaced with fancy acrylic. The game is still fantastic either way, but now I just feel a bit fancier Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've got to wonder how many really good games have failed miserably in sales because their box artwork stunk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
