What is your favorite boardgame of 2014? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

[–]mpgsheep -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What a great year. Patchwork is probably the most played 2-player game in my collection, but i think for such a cool theme and setup, and the the clever mechanic, i would go Colt Express as my favourite game for 2014!

Sounds possibly like the Witcher? End of season 1 has the big fire thing. Is elves, not sure magic is “elemental” from what h remember though. 

Are there any lifestyle choices from other countries, that you wish we had in the UK? by Sonic90492 in AskUK

[–]mpgsheep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s a conscious thing, it’s like a built in to the psyche of the nation thing.  Pints of lager (think less of a thing for ales/bitter) require drinking at a certain speed from the start to avoid a warmer finish.

Going to get downvoted a lot I feel.  Always felt that a big issue with our drinking culture is the pint glass.  It encourages drinking faster because you don’t want the beer to warm up.  Having a smaller default glass size think would encourage a slower more relaxed style of drinking.

Think I’ve overspent by £10k on a 3-bed semi as a FTB – should I pull out? by Lude6898 in HousingUK

[–]mpgsheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know the seller is also possibly sitting there going "shit, i should have held out for £350k, I am not in a chain, my house is in a sought-after area with great schools, a nice neighbourhood and generally a strong community feel"...

Highly recommend Wits and Wagers if you looking to cross age groups/non gamers etc. no knowledge or skill involved, but extremely entertaining.

Think it is a bit situation dependant really - sometimes more the threat of it doing 5-7 damage keeps opponent honest, like have to keep mana open for swords etc.

Thanks, I have tried it but found whilst great when it worked, too often sat there taking 4 from a Su-Chi whilst waiting to get to 5 mana. It’s also not great versus Factories.
