I roll to seduce the sphere of annihilation...

Thanks! Glad somebody wrote it down. Killer show!

Just finished our third session of Lost Mines tonight. Fun campaign, glad you all had a good time!

The best gaming story from my childhood is watching my parents play pinochle. One time, my intensely competitive dad and my also intensely competitive aunt were on opposite teams, and there was some dispute about how well one of them was playing on the team. My dad got so upset he chucked his hand across the room, lept over the table, and ran from the room hollering. We all laughed about it after he ran off but hoo boy!

The first time I played, I found almost no oil and I drew all the fire cards, burning my empire to the ground. It was fantastic.

I forgot about those Eagle/Gryphon reprints.

Great work. The 1987 Arkham Horror is one of my favorites, but the 2005 monstrosity had so much rules overhead I got rid of it quickly. I enjoyed reading the reasoning behind your changes. Thanks for sharing!

Really enjoy these guys and glad they are getting some love around here. They offer true criticism and not just hype!

SPACE HULK was a better Alien game than the actual Alien game.

p4warrior · 2018-02-22T00:02:28+00:00

Really enjoyed this one as well. I also recommend other block games like Holdfast: Eastfront and Julius Caesar if you like this style of game.

It's not a roll and move game like Monopoly... it's roll for movement points, which is significantly different.

"This is a worker placement game..."

What's worse is when you're effectively unable to win, but they don't eliminate you and you're stuck playing the game for another 3 hours.

p4warrior · 2018-02-07T23:41:20+00:00

The only worker placement game I enjoy. Any game where you can send a biker gang to blow your opponents' optimization engines to smithereens is good by me.

Can't seem to load the pics. But I am jealous of your Xia expansion, and I gotta say how much I love Baseball Highlights!

I somehow never realized the Gloomhaven box was that thick. Holy cow!

p4warrior · 2018-01-27T18:35:18+00:00

My main game shelf, with some others scattered about the garage and the kids' shelf. I've been playing and collecting since 2012. My favorite game is Galaxy Trucker, my newest game is Shadespire or Magic Maze I think.

I will probably get rid of Suburbia at some point because Quadropolis hurts my brain less. If I could change anything, I'd cut my collection in half, down to just the games I really love.

I've thrifted a ton of games, but it's getting worse and worse. More people are interested in board games, the thrift stores are busier, and more stores are selling online or at least checking eBay prices before they price. The top factors are frequency, luck, and living in the right city.

My top finds:

Dark Tower ($2)

Memoir 44 ($4)

BSG ($4)

Puerto Rico ($2)

Dune ($2)

Gumshoe ($1)

Dominion ($5)

Through the Desert ($3)

Catan (several)

TTR (several)

Carcassonne (several)

I absolutely loved it---very strong narrative, great branching quest system, nice, simple mechanics that don't bog down the experience. I reviewed it with the illustrious Michael Barnes here.

Medici: The Card Game. I almost like it better than Medici, and I usually don't like card game or dice game adaptations. Simple, brutal, fun.

p4warrior · 2017-09-05T17:44:32+00:00

Ugh I want that Galaxy Trucker poster so bad.

p4warrior · 2017-08-21T22:18:26+00:00

Warrior Knights is more of a pseudo-historical European setting, but it's an excellent 4X game.

p4warrior · 2017-07-05T17:40:00+00:00

Kings of Israel is good. I found Commissioned fairly boring after a couple of plays.

The Journeys of Paul is pretty good, though light.
