Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Going = winning, Hahma. That's why it's win/win. If I sit down in the chair (quoting Aldin), I already won.
If I'm running the tournament, that's icing on the cake. Whether I spend money out of my own pocket for a game or use store credit doesn't even really matter, considering I'm already a winner. I hope there's an event near you some time you can check out for yourself. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Yeah, maybe one day I'll get to a tournament. I see what you are saying about the win/win. I feel like that when I'm playing games with friends and or family, it's just a good time. I get up to GaryLASQ's place once in a while and some other guys from here like JdTenor, Jexik and Eternal Thanos are there and for me it's just a great time to see those guys and play. Regardless of how the games go, I feel like I've won as it's just that much fun.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
First full game of Alien Frontiers tonight. This is going to go from a good game to a great game when I can get it to the table against some other gamers. It was a lot of fun, but just not a deep and it could be playing against the little guy and his 6yr old sister.

On a side note, played two games last night with the little lady. 1x Neuroshima Hex I played as the New York army and my girlfriend chose the Vegas army. This match was pretty one-sided with me controlling the match. She didn't really grasp the strengths of Vegas and struggled against me. I won, no doubt, and read the description on the back of the Vegas card as well as the descriptions of the units. Once I explained how they were suppose to be played, she understood it better. I wish I had done that in the beginning. Stupid me... 1x Warhammer: Invasion My Empire won by the skin of their teeth against her brutal orcs. We each had a burning capital and I had one other capital with only one life left and she had one with 6 life left. It was my turn and I played an attachment card to have exactly 6 power worth of units in my battlefield to make the attack. Unfortunately, she had a defending unit with 4 life. I then realized I had a "Surrender" tactic card which forces a target defending unit back to the owner's hand. I played that card, removing her only defending unit and struck the capital with enough damage to win. I love these nail-biter type matches...

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
The usual night of Ticket to Ride:Europe and Settlers of Catan. We played with a very random setting in Catan,not only just tiles and numbers, but we also placed our starting settlements before the numbers went down, which was tough. I didn't like it.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Played my first game of Stronghold last night. Or rather, we played the first six rounds of a "learning game" at which point we elected to stop as I'd made a ton of errors as part of getting familiar with everything that was going on. There was not really any way for me to win the game at that point, so we just packed it up and discussed what had happened a bit more.
The game seems more complicated than it really is, but there is still a lot to keep track of. It was difficult to anticipate all the various ways the Defender can respond to various Intruder actions. All in all, a terrific game, though, and certainly one I'd like to play again soon. I can see why this one is well regarded. Also played an online scenario of Claustrophobia and my humans got smoked (as usual) by the Demons. I screwed up a little early on and that's usually all it takes in this game for things to avalanche into a slaughter. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
LOTR: The Card Game - beat the first scenario with the Leadership Sphere this morning playing solo.
Taught my daughters Thunderstone Dragonspire - They really enjoyed it and instead of teaching the LOTR tgc tomorrow, we're going to play some more Thunderstone. They didn't want to quit today, so when the Thunderstone came up, they asked for me to put it at the very bottom of the deck so they can play more. That's my girls.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Pretty good weekend so far of gaming -
Friday - Thunderstone - (wife and daughter) I won with a Trader heavy hand. Dominion - (wife) I pulled out a close one. Saturday - Ravenloft / Ashardalon - (JUSTchris and my daughter) We played the first multi-player scenario in the WoA book, but we combined all the monster, hero, and treasures from both sets. It was getting pretty heavy in there, but we were able to limp out alive. Dragon Dice x 2 - (JUSTchris and Tiny Timmy) First game - JUSTchris' lava elves took out my dwarves. Second game my Feral army defeated Tiny's undead and JUstchris' lava elves by capturing 2 8th faces, with the old Path / Windwalk (with a cantrip) victory. HeroScape - (JUSTchris and my daughter) We were getting ready for the multi-player event coming up in a few weeks and it was a very close game but I was able to pull out the win. Ascencion - (JUSTchris and Tiny Timmy) Just wished you could build your deck up a bit. It seems to end too fast. Plus the art sucks! Survive - (JUSTchris and Tiny Timmy) We went after Tiny early but he got us back pretty well and we ended the game with an 8 to 7 to 6 game with me barely winning. Carcassone - (JUSTchris and Tiny Timmy) Hadn't played this one for a while. It was nice to pull it out. Puerto Rico - (JUSTChris and Tiny Timmy) Another I hadn't played in a long time. It was good to see it hit the table again. Dragon Dice - (the 2nd best game there is) Learn to Play! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h3q6...wujcr8vVf8e21G |
