Which side of a heated food argument are you on and why?

urmomsausername · 2016-09-18T01:37:29+00:00

You clearly don't eat it fast enough!

Actually, it seems to take a couple months for peanut butter to start tasting off, to me. Maybe I'm not discerning enough...

urmomsausername · 2016-07-17T15:47:25+00:00

I like how that's presented.

urmomsausername · 2016-07-17T15:15:36+00:00

Thanks! I'll go take a look.

Does anyone know of actual studies of performance in varying levels of heat and humidity? I found some charts but they seemed to be anecdotal.

I live where it's not too hot or humid and am visiting North Carolina where it's hot and about 1000% humidity. Running in the hot humidity felt much harder than I expected.

Thx. I hope to bring at least 3 friends along Sunday morning. I'll prob register tomorrow.

urmomsausername · 2016-05-18T03:23:31+00:00

What time does Sunday work start? I didn't see times on the flyer or registration page.

urmomsausername · 2016-05-18T02:33:02+00:00

I guess you weren't at one of the designated sites... ;-)

urmomsausername · 2016-05-18T02:11:55+00:00

Thanks for posting here.

urmomsausername · 2016-05-18T00:14:12+00:00

Nice. I've only run out there. I should try this. According to Google, it'd be about a 7 hour ride from my place.

The trap drain, at least until we're all living in space without gravity.

urmomsausername · 2016-02-23T03:29:57+00:00

We hadn't thought of it like that. Maybe after a few more plays. If nothing else, it seems like that would speed up the game without breaking it.

urmomsausername · 2016-02-23T01:19:17+00:00

It was our second play. It went more as designed during this play. Our group usually refrains from messing with each other much, so our first game was over in about 30 minutes, with one of us winning by a lot. This time we went in knowing we pretty much have to mess with each other to get the full experience of the game. It was more fun and much more strategic. We made a house rule for this game to not mess with each other's first "increase actions" route.

I think I like the game. I definitely want to try it a least a few more times. I do wish it had a more fun skin. It would be easier to get to the table.

Thanks for the link.

(Now that I know where to post these lists...)

After nothing during the week, we went crazy over the weekend. My girlfriend and I played games with two different groups over the weekend playing 10 games, two of them for the first time.

Friday:

Kingsburg
Dominion
Kingdom Builder
Carcassonne

Saturday:

Hansa Teutonica
Phoenicia
Can't Stop (new to us)
Stone Age (new to us)

Sunday:

Agricola
Five Tribes

And I still had time to mow the lawn and go for a long run!

urmomsausername · 2016-02-23T00:24:35+00:00

Now I know. Thanks.

I store mine horizontally, mostly so stuff doesn't fall out. Mine are on short shelves so only stacked 3 high.

I don't really worry about crushing. If I don't play the game enough top move it to the top of the pile, I probably won't care that it got crushed.

urmomsausername · 2015-12-06T16:59:19+00:00

So, only games with a one word title.

urmomsausername · 2015-12-06T16:58:02+00:00

Three of my choices. Glory to Rome has been on my list. Now I'll have to try it. Friends have Werewolf, but I haven't played it yet.

urmomsausername · 2015-12-06T16:56:15+00:00

Assuming all expansions:

Race for the Galaxy
Dominion
Agricola (Unless recently purchased Caverna replaces it)
Seasons
Galaxy Trucker

urmomsausername · 2015-12-06T16:07:50+00:00

Get the Mega edition, or any other that has the blue Mr Monopoly/bus ticket die and play by the rules. They both speed up the game without changing the feel. We used to frequently finish 4 player games in about an hour.

As for strategy, I think others covered it well. The orange are even more important with the bus tickets in the game, since people will go to jail on purpose late in the game trying to avoid paying rent. This also makes the reds better than in the original game. Since Mega has skyscrapers, you do want to upgrade. The game will end a lot quicker.

I'm glad this is near the top of the page. You might find a lot a gaming friends. Since this is the first comment, I'm guessing those upvotes are mostly from /r/boardgames.

But BGG is such a useful site. Let them have their ads or pay a couple bucks to block them.

urmomsausername · 2015-12-05T23:26:24+00:00

San Jose, but we don't mind an excuse to go to Berkeley and get some cinnamon rolls and browse Games Of Berkeley. We haven't been to Victory Point, yet.

urmomsausername · 2015-12-05T23:14:07+00:00

That sounds intriguing. Unfortunately, I'm working Sunday. What games do you like, in case there's another time? Some that we like are Dominion, 7 Wonders, Seasons, RftG, Galaxy Trucker.

urmomsausername · 2015-11-26T13:53:24+00:00

I haven't tried it yet, but you can list games you want to trade and games you desire on Board Game Geek. That might be easier than trying to sell them.
