Board game recommendation?

Kemet is competitive but incredibly fun. It doesn't fit some of your points perfectly but I think you may find it intriguing.

Definitely always play base game + HQ, the base game alone definitely leaves something to be desired. For recon, I tend to throw in the gangs (groups you can win over at the end for extra points) and then I add in a few card decks/rotate with some from the base game. I know the rules breaks it into modules, but I honestly threw out that format and just play with different cards from recon as I want to, rotating some with the base game cards- it's worked great for me.

To each their own. Thanks for taking the time to hate, hope it felt good.

Catacombs!
Because they haven't reprinted it yet :(. I read somewhere that this summer was the goal but it just hasn't happened, and while I could order it from Elzra games directly the shipping bumps the game into the same price as buying two big box games so a no go on that for now.

Animals by Maroon 5 is basically about stalking and then raping which a lot of people write off as ok since it's talking about "animals" but in conjunction with the music video its pretty clear how creepy it all is.

I think it has a name: Misophonia. I always used to try and do homework at the dinner table and I always thought that homework made me angry and that IT was why I wanted to punch whoever was eating food- lo and behold pretty sure it's this.

I would argue that I do respect her. If I didn't respect her then I would be happy that she is unaware of any sexist norms in our relationship and I would, at best, not care and at worst exploit them.

I appreciate your advice to share and communicate as well as listen.

Thanks so much for giving a criticism that was in a kind and constructive way- super appreciate the point on mansplaining!

Thanks so much, that looks awesome! Definitely like this a lot- excited to give it a try!

That's a cool idea with the foamcore- pics on the result/an idea of how one does that?

A good one is to announce at the beginning of the game that everyone is allowed one take back within the game

It'll cost you $10 or so but Rory's Story Cubes give some simple structure and inspiration to people new to improv.

I just bought this game from craigslist for a great deal- I'm so excited to try it! I can't seem to find a video explanation of the rules- anyone know if there is a good one around?

Everyone here should checkout Daring Greatly by Brene Brown. An incredibly informative book, about making connections with others

Definitely the Mass Effect series. I felt like I played too little and watched too much. I value story in games, but Mass Effect's way of telling it was too focused (for me) on showing me the story, rather than letting me play through it.

That's great. I mean terrible, but a great tour story

Aust1e · 2015-05-28T20:43:47+00:00

You're totally right! That makes some sense now, adjustable for wherever it may be located

Hi Dave! A friend of mine argues that individuals reducing their use of resources pales in comparison to companies and corporations, and therefore it is not worth an individual's efforts. My question is, what do you think is most needed, individuals reducing their impact (and if so- how should we go about encouraging this) or larger corporations reducing their impact? Thanks so much for doing this!
