Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Got in a game of Pairs with my daughters before they went to bed.
We didn't play the Venture variant of it this time, but rather played the base game version. However, instead of a single round where there's one loser as soon as they reach the threshold (21 points in a 3 player game), we played 3 games of it (one for each player, like Council of Verona) and kept track of scores from game to game. So then after the 3rd game, the players with the fewest points would be the winner. Fun "push your luck" game (base game anyway). Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you ...Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man TUTORIAL FOR RE-BASING FIGURES 3hrs 43mins 32secs = 1242nd of 8808 overall - 1988 Honolulu Marathon |

Have heard of "ball & chain" but "trouble & strife" is a new one to me. Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you ...Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man TUTORIAL FOR RE-BASING FIGURES 3hrs 43mins 32secs = 1242nd of 8808 overall - 1988 Honolulu Marathon |

After a handful of mission games and some solo games in skirmish I really like what they've done with the dice. Ive never played Decent so I don't have anything to really compare to other than Heroscape. I like how the White die doesn't give crap for blocks but it does have the Dodge. So while your hero might get slapped around a bit there is that chance to avoid the entire attack. My players are starting to understand the dice better as well. For instance the Mak player has really learned to stay in Covert and use the accuracy on the 2x blue dice to shoot from across the map. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. |

The white dice is awesome. Sometimes it sucks, but sometimes you get that dodge right when you need it. Throw in Foresight or Take cover and you get a lot more decisions than say in regular Descent. I also like how strain seems to be a much bigger deal than it was in Descent. Last night Vader was able to find Luke on the very last turn of the mission. I almost had him, it was so close. My daughter played it very well. The more I play the Rebels the more I think Fenn is the all star of their team.

Reason: X on a blue dice? What are you one of those ranged guys? Mine was always on the red dice staring at me when I rolled it. |

EDIT: Oh no!!!! Just got off the phone with LoB to confirm those numbers and found out he and Cat_Scaper are playing Imperial Assault right now. Guess I am really stuck now. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
We have been playing Race! Formula 90 non-stop at work the past week or so and mainly Splendor and Imperial Assault at home. Loving Formula 90 as I have been waiting for a good racing sim for a long time. It is better than Formula D by leaps and bounds, although I would still recommend Formula D as a family game. Liking Splendor quite a bit and so is everyone at the house except LoB. Still meh about IA, but it is still a fun game.

Have you ever tried Thunder Alley G-O? I have been looking into getting that to have a racing game to my collection, though I'm not a NASCAR fan. I've heard a lot of good things about the game.
