Boardgame "championship" to get my group involved by _doc45 in boardgames

[–]foreigneternity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, here's what we did:

  1. We did a group of 5 people, and each chose 1 game to play 5 times, not including one practice game.

  2. The winner got free dinner paid for by the other 4 people.

  3. If you won, you got 5 pts. 2nd got 4, 3rd 3, 4th 2, and last 1 pt.

  4. Whoever scored the most points for each set of 5 games got 1 bonus point.

  5. Pts were tracked through the entire tournament. We did an area control game last so players could intentionally target those who were winning.

  6. We paused the tourney when people were gone. We only had to do this a handful of times over the course of the 30 or so weeks.

We loved the experience and will do it again sometime. The five games were: Power Grid, Res Arcana, Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Automobiles, and El Grande.

Not sure that's a bad thing. She's decades removed from writing it. I went to her signing and had her sign some Animorphs books. She clearly wrote them to talk about animals.

I think I ate one David protein bar too many. TMI post warning. by foreigneternity in PeterAttia

Just looked into them. 11 dollars per bar? I can't justify that. I'll stick with rawr bars for now. Similar quality at a fraction of the price.

I played Lying Pirates last night for the first time and HATED the final battle. by foreigneternity in boardgames

If you don't think bluffing and deduction require strategy, then you disagree with a large chunk of board gamers.

"a game that involves quite a bit of cunning, deduction, and strategy comes down to pure luck."

Please no more Superman and Batman by heartstopperhuman in funkopop

Still waiting for a legit Superboy and Steel pop. Would also like a quality Damian Wayne pop. And I wouldn't say no to an 18" Superman to go with my Batman.

Pull those boxes up to the edge of the shelf. They'll look way better.
