I've enjoyed the few times I've played Betrayal at the House in the Hill. I know some say it's kind of wonky in some ways, but I don't let that bother me. Played Elder Sign a couplemonths ago for the first time, after playing Arkham Horror. I enjoyed it. Dead of Winter is always a good time for the people in my group that like to play it. It's not everyone'scup of tea, and that's ok. I agree that I don't want to win every co-op game. What's the fun in that? I want it to be a challenge and a sense of accomplishment when we do win. I just ordered Pandemic Legacy to play with my daughters, so I'll expect to lose a few months. I've been telling my girls about the SeaFall campaign I'm in and how you get to name things and stuff. They were interested in that aspect so I figured Pandemic Legacy would work in that regard and being co-op, I can help them along, but not alpha the game.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
For those of us still waiting until December, I refer you to www.commands&colors.net. I see that the six new C&C Epic Napoleonics Expansion Six two player standard format Austerlitz scenarios are now available on this Bayernkini site! They should be playable with what we've got so far I'd imagine, with perhaps a substitute unit/terrain hex or two. So there's another way to go for us impatient CCN players!

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
After missing out of the 2 separate campaigns of Pandemic Legacy with my gaming group, as the seats filled really quick, I finally decided to buy it and play it with my daughters. Since the game is similar in a sense to Flashpoint and Defenders of the Realm, which I own, we will be familiar with certain concepts of the game. My girls were interested in the naming and stickering that they hear me talk about in the SeaFall campaign I recently got into with my group, so they were up to trying Pandemic Legacy. I ordered it Sunday morning and got it yesterday afternoon, but only paid standard shipping
Last night at our my regular Monday night game night, I got to try a couple new games. Emergence - is kind of a hidden role game in a sense where there are some players that will be the AI and a fewer number are Humans. It's a futuristic world setting and the computers have taken over, so they are after the humans. So basically during the game, you are taking actions to gather resources on certain spaces and trading them in with a different actions. Depending on the combination of numbers and colors traded in, that's how many disc tokens you get. The disc tokens are used to either pay for some actions that allow you to spy or terminate another player, or if anyone lands on a certain tile, everyone that has discs has to place at least 1 of them in a box that has 2 slots, one for human and one for AI. Then they are revealed and people try to figure out who is who and work together to beat the others. The AI winning condition is to get 40 discs collected total over the course of the game, whereas the human winning condition is to get 20 of them, or to have no resources left on the board. And finally, Mechs vs. Minions - This is based on the current most popular video game in the world called League of Legends. Itis a campaign game that teaches the game more from one mission to the next, and there are ten missions. We played the introductory mission and the first real mission. It's card drafting and programmed action game. You will draft a new action card each round and add it somewhere on your board, then on your turn, you have to take your actions in order from left to right. Pretty cool and can get crazy, especially of you take damage that covers up an action slot or that changes the order of your actions.

How did you like Mechs & Minions?
My eldest son said he wants it so I told him I will try to get it as a Xmas present for him. Seems only available from their site & with postage its going to be a little on the expensive side for me, US$125 which makes it a little over $160 Australian. The things you do for your kids. Plus he is the one that doesn't play boardgames anymore so hopefully this will get him into it a bit more.

@A3n
We liked it a lot. The introductory mission was basic and just gave you an idea of how things worked. It was pretty quick. Then we did the first mission where you have to tow or push a bomb from one end of the board to a special space on the other side. But there are a ton of minions that are coming from the direction you need to get the bomb to. The bomb only has 5 health and during the minon attack phase, any minion adjacent to you or the bomb gives an automatic damage. So while damage can mess you up a little bit, it can be healed, whereas the bomb can't. You have to work together and try to plan your actions to get the bomb moved, as well as killing the minions that keep spawning every round. After you get the bomb off the the starting area, then you will start using the 40 second sand timer when drafting. In the beginning of each round, you reveal a certain number of action cards from the deck and flip the timer. Then everyone quickly discusses what they need and people take 1 card each. Then you cab take your time to decide which slot to place it. Afterwards, the 1st player takes all their actions and the other players follow. You will need to discuss what each of you will be trying to do on your turn. Fun stuff.

Played Mechs and Minions once and immediately ordered. Fun game. Recently played Combat Commander for the first time and really liked it. Memoir 44 was big for us when my son was little and this feels like a grown up version of card driven WWII combat. Last night played Ghost Stories and Darkest Night on the front porch while kids grabbed candy. |

I agree, Emergence was ok and I'd play it again. Difficult as a Human, but next time I would try to accumulate those discs and the wait until an AI player got a lot of them and then use the action that sends that player back to home base and I would take all their discs. Would require good timing. I have played Dark Moon a couple times and I enjoy it. I don't mind the dice. Adds some drama. I like Secret Hitler and don't mind the card draw issue. part of the game is being able to lie and to throw people off the trail sometimes. I have Robinson Crusoe but haven't played it for awhile. I like it a lot though. I tried Sushi Go Party once and liked it ok. Same with Fury of Dracula. Been awhile since playing Sheriff of Nottingham, but I had enjoyed it when we did play it. I really like Dead of Winter, good stuff. Never tried Caverna. If I get a chance, I'll certainly give it a go. Sounds like you had a good time.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Just got in my Deadeye Walkers for Zombicide: Black Plague. Has anyone got to play with those yet? I can't wait. Also, I have been on the fence over buying BLOOD RAGE. But went ahead and pulled the trigger last night on Amazon. After watching the good reviews on Dice Tower I had to jump off the fence, finally. Anyone on here a fan of that one? Also, I seen the 5th player expansion for Blood Rage on there as well. Is it worth it to buy? I'm not sure I need it unless it brings more to the table than just another player. Over Halloween I got to play a game called SPEAK OUT. With the mouth guards, and the trying to say stuff for your team mate to guess. It was so fun, my wife went and bought it the day after.
