boardgames!

Ah thinking about getting on the brink! Other than the fifth player does it actually add that much to the base game?[emoji848]


.

It's actually 3 different expansions plus extra event and role cards. So you get a decent deal.

Ah very cool, on to the Amazon wish list it goes!

Little QOTH and I had a go at Boss Monster 2 (My christmas present to the family). The rules are really badly written so it was hard work figuring it out, but he seemed to enjoy it (first time I've actually got him to engage with a non-electronic game so that's good). There are some complexities that neither of us really got to grips with that I think will improve the gameplay, but it worked on a superficial level and in a way that's fine when you are playing with a 7 year old, just makes it a bit dull as an adult.

Haven't played Captain Sonar yet, but there's already an expansion announced that I'm desiring

A fellow urbanite also just made me aware of Sneaky Cards, which sounds fun.

Got out the old pokemon cards this month. It's a great game if you have a few well balanced decks. Nice and quick.

I played Kings and Things with the 7 year old on Sunday.

We used my original copy from the 80s. Held up quite well, even if he did spend most of the game in tears after he failed his attempt to get the mountain king. I ended up letting him win to teach him that you need to keep on going to the end instead of wailing "I won't win, I never win" for the whole game.

I never let kids win. They have to earn it like everyone else. The pain they go through learning this lesson is best experienced early in life.

I alternate. Otherwise he'll never try anything.

He beat me at Sushi Go the other day fair and square, and he's good at Labyrinth. Has occasionally beaten me at Hearthstone as well.

Plague Inc (the phone/ tablet game where you play a virus trying to wipe out humanity) will a board game on Kickstarter soon!

Had a game last night. It's Pandemic's evil twin, charmingly vicious if you want, some elementary cooperation can be handy, for a little while before the slaughter begins. Well balanced, each game ended up very close. I scored most points overall, but didn't win a single game, natch.

I like dominion. Might get another version one day.

Yeah it's good fun, the event cards really do spice up the game!

Finally played Codenames. While it has potential as party game, I thought it was a bit meh.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Some new additions, and I tell you what if I had to choose one to recommend it'd be Istanbul. It's fucking brilliant fun![emoji1417]

[Shippou-Sensei]

I have difficulty enough resisting SU&SD reviews already

 

[strung out]

I played Rock Paper Wizard the other day - very fun and fast paced, and a nice twist on the rock paper scissors staple. Created by Wizards of the Coast, so inhabits the same 'universe' as DnD

Yup me too!

I'm waiting for the reprint of Brass, which is mildly legendary euro game and has been out of print for a long time, mid April it's due, just hope I can play it regularly with 4 or 5 people, mostly I'm in 2 or 3 player games

 

[tommers]

Got this yesterday. Played a game last night, it's great. Especially for anybody into cycling.

 

[iamwithnail]

We picked up Twilight Struggle, the cold war board game. It's fun, but luuuuuudicrously complicated. Half hour playing time my arse.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Heh I'd like to get TS but my other half would never play it...Flaming Rouge looks fun!

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Btw I cannot recommend Santorini enough, it's SO much fun!

 

[tommers]

They are reprinting Gloomhaven. It is up on Kickstarter again.

 

[Who PhD]

Star Wars Destiny, first play!

Is that any good?
