Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Curiously, my name is not actually Dad Scaper. My son, however, is actually Kid Scaper, as I've said many times, and my dad is actually Grandpa Scaper. My actual name is, and this may come as a shock, Ernest John. Ernest John Scaper. Though many know me by my nickname, "Dad," I've never forgotten the importance of being Ernest.

Well, Chas is one of my real nicknames. That's pretty close!
BTW, here's the link to my long BGG session report on my latest exciting game of Big Trouble In Little China: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread...cerer-solitair Shorter notes on my first six previous games are there too! |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Played a four player game of Big Trouble In Little China with three other live players yesterday, and had fun introducing it to them in my 8th game.
Originally it was supposed to be a six player, but we had two last minute cancellations. So I've now tried it with 1,2, 3, and 4 live players, and 1, 2 and 6 characters solitaire. It continues to please, and I haven't even looked at the expansion quest yet. The game is now available at retail (although the expansion is not yet). Its highly recommended if you like text based co-op questing! |

Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide shot selection! Scaper of the Week #17 How to get to Skyknight's house: Drive to the red light, then call him. |

I seem to recall an
@chas
post where he mentioned his name in the context of his former life as a history professor. But now I remember neither the name, nor whether that post was here or on BGG.
Actually, I bet it was BGG in the Mare Nostrum forum. Heroes of Star Wars Scape (HoSS) My Custom Repaint Figures / My Custom Terrain / My Maps & Scenarios / My Trade List Red 6 standing by! |

Played a 4 player game of El Dorado yesterday. Maybe it's just the hexes and customizable map that reminds me of another game I love, but I really liked it. The short bursts of map movement to reach choke points or blocking spots mixed with the deck building really appealed to me.

It was also a good stimulant to him learning to read. I had a binder with all my rectangle C3G cards. Some evenings he'd flip through looking at characters and I'd read powers to him. I'd come home from work and he'd have teams built since he had learned to add point totals. It was surprising how fast he picked it up and the point totals of Heroscape are great for balancing...I think after he learned the game and could read a little we were doing 2 to 1 army totals (800 points vs 400 points) and we slowly worked him up to even. The key was keeping him excited without me having to play to lose...then it's boring for me. So giving him a massive army vs my small army allowed me to play to win but made the odds where he'd win most times...but since I was the bad guys it worked...the good guys were suppose to win most of the time. Other games he has enjoyed when he was younger...Not limiting it to 5 since those first years fly by and he'll be 8 before you know it... King of Tokyo - I think 5 or 6 Ticket To Ride - maybe 7 - played with an adult the first few times and then refused to play with a "helper" after that. We decided to just let him play as it added a degree of difficulty to our routes since he was really unpredictable sometimes. He eventually learned the strategy and now at 10 he's pretty solid. Archeology the new adventure - 8 - He's a beast at this game. He's got a system that works for him and he wins as often as anyone else. Spledor - 9 - We didn't get this until recently but he could have played it at 8 - I sometimes don't see what he could be possibly thinking but then out of nowhere he wins so I'm thinking he knows what he's doing he's just using a different approach than I can understand. I also hated UNO...loved it as a kid and so did he but I was glad when he stopped asking for it... We have played Tiny Epic Galaxy and Tiny Epic Kingdom...They are tricky even for my son so I'd hold off on those for awhile. Though they are nice small traveling games that fit easily into a bag. He like Galaxies pretty well we just don't play it often. Kingdom we only played once. Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Playtime has been limited, however, I have tried a number of games out of late.
I tried the Harry Potter deckbuilding game from USAopoly and it seemed like it had potential, but we had to stop at Year 2 because it had the wrong cards in the deck. I've finished painting and have played a couple games of Star Wars Legion. It's fun and I look forward to seeing the gameplay evolve as new unit types are released. Last week, my A Song of Ice and Fire miniatures showed up and they are pretty, but I haven't had a chance to play or start painting as of yet. However, I did just finish painting my Blood Red Skies stuff and have enjoyed playing that one. |
