Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.

  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.

  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Just picked up Moose Match Mayhem because the kids liked Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza . TCGCP is a tough game to play as an Old, and I'm guessing this will be similar.

Also got a Gentle Rain - a solo game that claims to be meditative. Might be fun.

We mostly played Clue and Yahtzee - classics.

Just tried out arc last week. Fun game, the cards drive the boat a lot more than I'd like though.

I can't wait for the localized version to be published this summer, it's my most anticipated game, hoping the campaign is bundled with it

It's definitely a fun game. The chapter system gives it a good depth of game with a count down. Makes for an interesting game with an ending in a reasonable amount of time. We didn't try the campaign, hopefully next time.

That's a very common perception for beginners in the game :). With enough plays you'll get into the mindset of playing the hand rather than forcing the hand to do something else

[–] Skyrmir 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's what I meant, your tactics get dictated by the hand you're dealt. And I don't like that.

Fair enough! It's definitely a love it or hate it kind of game

I played a 3 player game of Heat. It was a blast

Just finished a round of "Super" Silver in anticipation for the new set!

Chrononauts! I loved it like 15 years ago when I started playing board games, and now it feels kind of dated and wasn't as great as I remembered. I'm gonna give it another try again soon.

Dead Reckoning because John D. Clair is a beautiful madman.
