Yeah, Descent 2.0 is a quality game. I love the scenario play, and I love how streamlined it feels. We haven't played it in ages. Too many games; you know how it is.
There is also a Game Night kit that has official co-op rules and Overlord AI cards that can be played solo. Hopefully FFG will release AI for all the monsters soon.

Argh! Mine hasn't shown up yet. I'm jealous, very jealous. Did you get the mat and foils?

~Aldin, who figures that life is probably perverse enough to have Draco Magi show up the same day that Beyond Earth unlocks
Found out this morning that mine has been sitting in the laundry room, a room a barely know exists , since "I don't know, earlier this week". The foil cards are pretty nice, but I need some sleeves before I let LoB aka Little ole Butterfingers touch them. The mat is much bigger than I thought it would be. It doesn't fit in my messenger bag without folding. Bigger is not always better I guess. Overall pretty sweet.

It looks like I got 2 copies of some extra cards. Not really sure what we were supposed to receive.

I think we were one of the 500 delayed shipments. Got a mat and double-foil. Ah well... soon!

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?

Continued a match against the dragon in Shadowrun: Crossfire last night. Definitely a bit of an absurdly difficult challenge, but I did have fun, even if we fudged some things a bit here and there. Finally, we decided we had done too many small cheats to continue, so we stopped after only clearing three aspects of the dragon.

Then we rounded it out with two games of Dominion with the Hinterlands expansion. I really learned to appreciate the Scheme card.

C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?

Purchased the core set of the Star Wars X-wing miniature game yesterday & played the quick start rules with my youngest then the basic rules with my eldest. I am liking it thus far & haven't played the advanced rule set yet .

Yeah that game night kit is on my radar. There has been talk of a big box expansion that is entirely co-op which would be fantastic.

Proceed with caution. This is a game it's easy to think you'll spend $50 on but end up spending more like $500.

The first few times I played it with friends it was without asteroids. Adding the asteroids in once you've got the hang of maneuvering is key. You're navigating an obstacle course while shooting at the other ships and this adds a lot of fun.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?

If you like it a lot, buy 2 Starters sets. Then, at least one of every ship, including the X-Wing and Tie Interceptor expansions, so you can get better and new cards.

Yeah, I am beginning to see that slope now.

I found some tuck box designs for the cards & made them. I bought a couple of "paint" markers & have edged the tokens. I have been surfing trying to decide what my next purchase should be already. I have been investigating purchasing/printing some star field maps. I have been thinking about making a death-star map that is in 2 halves that I can then also sit on either side of a death-star trench. OMG this slope is slippery!

Cool, will have to try that with my boys. I thought they were just for particular missions.
