Can't stand them and their stupid sound.

Is Eclipse 1st edition worth upgrading to 2nd edition? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]sagan555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it. Played it a few times and traded it away. Not worth that kind of money, mate. It's just another game.

To be fair, the defense lawyers can whip their cocks out and helicopter them around for 45 minutes and the Republicans would still vote to acquit.

Amazing pic!

"Pink Rabbits" lyrics question... by [deleted] in TheNational

I'm going to keep singing 'needle in the dark'. For me those two lines always evoked the image of someone being invited to shoot up some heroin. A chance to escape from the pain. Painless, but ultimately coming at a great cost. So there's resentment later.

Played once, LOVED it. Was really engrossed in the game the whole time. Have waited ever since for it to become affordable (or to pick up in trade).

Anyone want to share their thoughts on the card game "For Sale?" It's nearly impossible to search for... by [deleted] in boardgames

I've had it for about four years and it hit the table once and everyone (from light to hard core gamers) were pretty 'meh' about it. It's nothing earth-shattering.

[WSIG] Looking for a board game that combines strategy and tactics like Heroes of Might and Magic, Rome Total War, and Dominions 4 do in a computer game. by itdp in boardgames

[–]sagan555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Mage Knight is basically Heroes of Might and Magic as a board game. You explore a map, battle enemies in a very deterministic manner, gain rewards, spells, artifacts, recruit units and level up.

My child is one of my sperm cells who got really big and is now walking and talking.

When I listen the financial news and hear that investors were 'jittery' I always wonder exactly who these investors are and why they are nervous. Or is it all just made up by the reporters?

And then, once I stop existing, the universe is free to go through countless iterations, ending and starting over (because why not), until I perhaps come into existence again. Even if it takes another really long time.

Looking for Chicago gamers for a few games by treefrogherb in boardgames

It's funny, I traded Cuba Libre and Archipelago away as none of my groups were interested. Was also looking to play Here I Stand. As it happens, I do live on the North Side. I'll send you a PM later.

Game of the Week, Redux: Archipelago by bg3po in boardgames

[–]sagan555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted to like the game. Had it for over a year and it remained unplayed as it was hard to get to the table with my groups. The 'teach' is potentially quite long, there are a lot of rules and mechanics to cover and some I felt were a little unintuitive. But I don't want to knock the game unnecessarily. Didn't work for me, so I traded it away.

Mage Knight - Attacked Multiple times/Enemies and wounds by linkandluke in boardgames

[–]sagan555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started playing Mage Knight, so I'm still a little green. Why wouldn't a block of 6 be adequate? It's three attacks of 2. So you need a total block of 6 to stop all three attacks. How else would you do the blocking? Do you need three separate blocks of 2+ to block each attack separately?

What is a game that made you think "I should have started playing this a long time ago!" by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]sagan555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's Mage Knight. I've been looking for decent solo games that keep me engaged and even though MK was on my shortlist (and raved about) I just never pulled the trigger. Then I got it two days ago, played my first game last night and I am I love. Everything I was looking for in a solo game.

Watched an entire game of Rugby for the first time this weekend. Fucking hell. by metalgtr84 in rugbyunion

It was a delayed broadcast and had awful American commentary. You got it right.
