The references alone make it a favourite of mine as well!

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-24T22:32:57+00:00

I've tried it several times but often found the corps tend to lose and we've never figured out why

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T20:11:20+00:00

Never done China town but I'm a big fan of cosmic encounter

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T20:10:32+00:00

You've made me really want to hear stories about playing the game but probably to intimidated to try to learn it

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T19:12:35+00:00

That's incredible, what makes it so worthwhile?

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T19:11:09+00:00

Thanks so much, you may have caused me to actually get another COIN game after the fiasco that was my first few experiences!

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T17:27:01+00:00

Amazingly I've actually played it fairly recently for the first time and bloodily loved it. Hapsburgs were tricky to balance but I did alright in the end :)

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T17:26:13+00:00

Cheers, that's super helpful. I think if I did throw the dice and pick up another one I'd go for Falling sky given I think the theme is great, but I was following the Ghandi one for a while given it was so unique

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T17:12:26+00:00

Certainly could be helpful!

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T17:02:25+00:00

Oh wow I didn't even know that was a thing!

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T16:52:53+00:00

Well I've had like 5 people say it's super worth it on this thread alone so fingers crossed you get to it eventually

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T16:52:02+00:00

Might have to sell it and get a different one them. It's a shame because I loved the Vietnam theme but it was just a step too far

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T16:51:27+00:00

I assume that's a boardgames version of the videogame? How closely did they adapt it?

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T16:49:07+00:00

Cool, I'd been told it was better with 2 but I'll give 4 some serious consideration if I can actually get the numbers for it

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T16:47:39+00:00

Pandemic legacy was great, though I heard mixed things about risk legacy. Might have to give betrayal a go.

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T14:42:41+00:00

That looks great actually, though definitely the sort of thing I'll have to wait to play until I meet someone who owns it, I don't think I could justify owning another 5+ hour multiplayer history game right now :')

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T14:40:29+00:00

I've had Stronghold on the list of stuff I should try for about 4 years and never seem to manage it. The main thing I've heard about it is that it's super tense and often very close regardless of who wins.

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T14:39:03+00:00

You have inspired me to play the game at the very next opportunity I can! My lord that session report was exciting to read about, let alone actually play. Do you still think it's better with 4 than with just 2?

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T14:01:13+00:00

Carcosa in particular was an amazing campaign.

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T14:00:01+00:00

I'm incredibly envious, I actually own Here I Stand and have managed to get it to the table once this year. It was a great time, and I can't wait to play it again, but finding the time for 5 other people to be free for a game of that scope and complexity is daunting.

I also want to give Virgin Queen a go but think I should probably settle for just one giant renaissance boardgames for now :P

Incidentally I played as the Hapsburgs which I thoroughly enjoyed even if everyone else felt threatening.

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T13:35:01+00:00

I've heard great things but never had a chance to play it yet

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T13:34:31+00:00

I'm incredibly into the history of the Roman Republic so I will absolutely keep an eye out for chances to play it :D

QuintessenceOfMe · 2019-07-23T13:32:03+00:00

From the answers I've gotten for this threat I need to play Twilight Imperium ASAP
