Played Imperial Settlers once and liked it. I didn't do so good as the Romans though. Interesting how each faction works differently. I really like Sheriff of Nottingham, have played that a few times so far. Haven't tried Fortune and Glory yet or Imperial Assault, but one of my buddies is getting Imperial Assault, so I look forward to trying his game sometime.

One or the other, never both.
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. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Played the following games quite a few times over Christmas weekend:
- The Great Dalmuti (6 players) - King of Tokyo (did not use the Power Up Expansion yet) - Say Anything (8 players) Also played a few games delivered by Santa one time each: - Marvel Legendary - Smiley Face Still have not had a chance to try some other Santa gifts: - Marvel Dice Masters Uncanny X-men - Diamonds I'm hoping that the family doesn't get burned out from all of this game playing. Even hoping to try out the KoT Power Up tonight... fingers are crossed. I have a question for anyone who has purchased King of New York. Is the promotional card, "Monster Idol" included inside the box as one of the 66 cards? Or is it truly an exclusive card that was given out at Gen Con and on some pre-orders? I'm getting mixed signals from the limited info on the net. Some seem to suggest that it was given out as a preview card that is included inside while others label it as an exclusive promo card. I'm looking to eventually purchase King of New York and some folks on ebay are selling it with the Monster Idol card. I'm trying to determine if this is a scam and the card is sealed up in the box. Thanks for any help with this. Edit: Oh yeah, the boys and I have been loving us some Stiga Stanley Cup Tabletop Hockey. I know it is not really a board game but it is tons of fun especially when we have it set up for Islanders vs. Rangers. |

I don't know how "THRIFTY" this whole process is after you add up all of the gasoline and time expended. I've found over 20 thrift stores near me that I hit on a regular basis (some weekly, others monthly) and I only get lucky like this about twice a year, so that could average one out of a hundred visits. But it sure is fun, since you never know what your going to find. A couple of months ago, I scored an almost complete HS RotV Master Set for $5.00. I'm usually looking for random junk (i.e. used toys and play sets) that I can re-work into HS custom terrain pieces. Finding a whole game that's not Trivia Pursuit or Ameri-Trash is a very rare delightful experience. It has become such a popular past time that Board game Geek has an entire Forum devoted to it with weekly threads for us Bargain Hunters to post our great finds. I often see @kldonnelly there extolling her treasures. It's fun to chat and compare notes with other like minded gamers.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Got a bunch of games for Christmas. So far I've played Historia a couple times, Twilight Struggle once as a learning game, and the first six turns of Bitter Woods solo to learn the rules. The Germans have already got some armor units acrossed the Meuse River! Good thing I wasn't in charge of the allied defense during the Bulge. But I learned several lessons and there are several mistakes I will not make again.

ROUNDUP: SEEING THE OLD YEAR OUT
Just played a great four player (six hour) game of Firefly The Game yesterday. George (GWEK on bgg) came over from NJ for the first time. He's about the most active poster on bgg about this game, and has presented many fan variants, one of which, Local Color, I've printed out but not used yet. He'll be adding 12 new cards to it soon. And his pal Dan came in from Manhattan, so I met two new gaming friends! Sherman Davies and I hosted here. We used all of the expansions through Blue Sun. It was fun to play the old King of All Londinium scenario from the base game for the first time. Although George won handily, it was a great game, and we got to try out lots of stuff we hand't really looked at before from Crew to Gear to playing strategies. George got all three goals to end the game, when the rest of us had none, and he won just before I would have badly disabled his play for a bit with a second Showdown using 'Sash's Cannon!' George dismissed his wanted crew member, but I picked up the same Niska Piracy Job I'd discarded on the first turn of the game (since we were in the neighborhood), and so would have had an excuse to attack him once more. Dan hadn't played before, but had looked at the rules and learned fast; I'd say he was in second place behind George, with SD right behind, and me beat down to just harassing George at the end. A 'Gentleman's Game' throughout with player manners and advice for the newbie all around; quite a contrast to the grittiness of Josh Whedon's 'Verse! We did some Bounty Hunting and Bounty Jumping, but no Piracy, and never entered Rim Space, although lots of Reavers came out of it! At one point after the Alliance Cruiser moved, a new Most Wanted Cortex Update put three of us at risk carrying wanted crew at once, which triggered off some direct player interaction, mostly against George, by now the clear front runner. Then we and our guests had a companionable late dinner at the local diner. They left, while Sherm and I went on to play out my first game of Ars Victor with a live opponent. He had beaten Taeblewalker once, and now got me. It was our first time with both factions on the board at the same time: The Empire of Man and the Ancient Hedgemony. I played the latter and SD our first 'mixed' army. Just as I was about to go for it from behind at the end, my cards totally betrayed me, and I couldn't activate the two units I needed. Curses, foiled again. Taeblewalker is coming back from Florida today, and Kolakoski is planning to host our monthy Scape game in January when he returns to his Secret Island Base soon, so the NYG4 will be back in action in the New Year. If you're going to be in NYC in January, give us a shout out and come join us. Thanks to Sherm for helping me order the new Conan coins online as an add-on to my first Kickstarter project: Age of Conan: Adventures In Hyperboria. New Games/Expansions from Sept.-Dec. 2015 as the year goes out: Star Trek Fleet Captains: Dominion Quartermaster General Firefly: Blue Sun Cyclades: Titans Commands & Colors Napoleonics: The Prussian Army Twilight Struggle (yet unplayed) Ars Victor New Games Coming up in 2015: Age Of Conan: Adventures In Hyperboria Kemet: Ta Seti Mare Nostrum (2.0) Quartermaster General: Expansion Firefly the Game: Expansion(s)? C&C Napolenics: Expansion(s)? Other New Game Dates Coming Up In January Memoir 44: D-Day Landings--The British Beaches (6 Player) Happy Gaming New Year to all!

Yeah, believe me, I thought of the Gang of 4. I wish the schedule had flexibility in it. Maybe next year, if we do it again.
