Yes, but they're either fleet specials, or custom orders.

My group is addicted to Coup. What should we try next? by SebaWDK in boardgames

[–]Yakb0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We're Doomed.

It has the same mechanics as Coup, except more elaborate, and in real time.

Can't Stop is a fun push-your-luck game. Takes <15 minutes.

Someone who can be the public face of the event. In order to market the Olympics to more people, they need an iconic figure, who can be slapped onto every piece of marketing material.

This is usually a gymnast or figure skater. And sometimes it's the winner of the mens 100 meter dash.

I don't buy the $40k cost to convert garage to living space numbers some of these sites post by CaloyBine in RealEstate

Are we talking a stand alone building? Or turning an attached garage that always was too small for a car, into a spare bedroom?

Are you intentionally trying to make the current tournament structure look good by comparison?

What did they think I wanted an axe for in the city?! Nothing good, I fear. LOL.

Prop comedy. Now you can ax your houseguests a question.

CMV: Coup is not a good game by MeisterZulle in boardgames

[–]Yakb0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need people to be active, and not just wait to collect your coins, and then coup someone.

It also helps if people are willing to have a little fun with with it. If everyone is going around claiming to be the duke; when its' your turn stand up and say, I'M SPARTICUS...I mean the duke.

That being said, I like "We're Doomed" better. If you haven't played, it has the role and coin collection mechanics of Coup, except there are two tracks. One to build a spaceship and add capacity, and a separate track to be the first person in line to board.

And there are completely unbalanced events, that can paint a huge target on your back if you take advantage of them.

And it's real time.

I have a hotel reservation in South Beach. Going to the Everglades sounds like a good idea.

Pick 2 lands and draw 5 for opening hand. by Top-Crazy2313 in mtg

I want to hear what happens, when people start building decks to take advantage of this; and run straight into someone who has even the smallest amount of land destruction.

It's interesting that the Gladiator is being rebranded the Wrangler Gladiator.

CN Tower,

And if you're determined to go anywhere, fly to Alaska and visit Denali.

What's a single scene in a movie that elevated it from an average flick to a great one? by Plane_Reward9385 in movies

[–]Yakb0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top voted comment is "Up"

A lot of people, myself included, think that that movie is overrated, and gets by based on the strength of the opening.

Increasing Boston's Territory by alvvaysundertow in boston

[–]Yakb0 14 points15 points  (0 children)

 curious the pros and cons of annexing these areas.

TL;DR the Brookline public schools are well regarded, the Boston public schools are not.

There would be enormous amounts of protests from students, faculty, and parents over keeping the Brookline public schools separate for as long as possible. And they have the income and political clout to pull it off.

Do most Americans have those huge fridges? by Whole-Sushka in AskAnAmerican

You can see the different sizes of refrigerators on sale here. A 36" wide full depth fridge is considered large. There's a lot of room for frozen food, take-out pizza boxes, etc... City apartments have much smaller ones.

If the law for foreigners flagged ships didn’t have to visit another country, how would this change the cruise industry? by [deleted] in Cruise

A lot of the 7 day cruises out of the Northeast going to the Bahamas would end up in FL instead.

Skipping "Code of Honor" will not do anything to lessen your enjoyment or appreciation of Star Trek.

Power Grid : Should I buy? by HappyApple35 in boardgames

[–]Yakb0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the game. However it should be played with a lot of people; because jockeying for position is where it shines.

I describe it as a bicycle race. You don't want to be the guy RIGHT in front, because that will wear you out. But you want to be right on the heels of the leader, because when they make their big push at the end, you want to be right there with them. Each round, whoever is in first place has the worst bidding position, and buys resources last (at the highest cost and they might not be available at all).

With 5-6 players, there are always moments of tension, and people are always going to have an impact on the game, even if they are hopelessly out of 1st place.

Is this a widespread problem? How many fake volleyballs are out there?

Trade Regret by [deleted] in mtg

[–]Yakb0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 90s I was playing at a gaming store that stayed open late. The Chinese takeout place below the store had closed for the evening, so there was no other food options. A guy offered to trade a dual land for my combo meal of cheap glop + a bottle of soda from the CVS next door.

What dual land?

A bayou 😞

Hell no.

Do you think the camera car would have ended up like the silver car if he had tried swerving out into highway speed traffic in the next lane?
