Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Played a few games last night...
2x GoSu w/ Kamakor Tina and I dug some of the new races, although there was one particular race I didn't care for. They're like half-robotic amazons. The treefolk (called shibuke) are really cool with their shadow jump ability. I'm really digging the depth of strategy the game has and its becoming quite addicting. Tina smoked me in the first game with a clean sweep of 3-0. The second game I won, but barely (3-2). 2x Ascension w/expansions Both games were very close... The 1st game I won with scores as 86 to 84. The 2nd game I won with the scores as 84 to 81.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Played our first game of Blood Bowl Team Manager just now. I was the dwarves and my son was the humans. I lost 44-42 when my star player got thrown out of the Blood Bowl giving him the 7 fans he needed to make a big comeback

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Blood Bowl Team Manager is fun with two players, but I actually like it more with three because it becomes more cutthroat, especially when a tournament comes up. I'm curious to see what its like with four players.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I got to try Cosmic Encounter for the first time tonight in a 4 player game. The guy that brought the game had expansions for it too. I actually won it with the other 3 players all on the 4 colonies mark. I chose to battle alone for the last one and we were tied with 23 points each but then I played the Xenophobe's flavor card that let me add 1 point for each colony in my planets so I got 3 more points for 26 and it was funny because the guy I was attacking was the Xenophobe race Then a player not in the battle played a zap card to cancel my flavor card so I would have been tied and not won the game, but I had a zap card of my own to cancel his zap card and won right there. Great game, lots of fun.
Then we had a couple 7 player games of 7 Wonders and I won the first one and didn't do so hot in the second game. As always, this is a fun game.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Hahma, does your group not like it because of theme? I played it once at nyyscon (it was actually his copy) and the game certainly is a lot of fun. Easy to learn too (always a plus for new gamers).

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
There's definitely something to be said for the group I was playing it with as well. That also contriubuted to the level of fun, but the game itself is great too IMO. There are plenty of decisons to be made, but it all flows together so well that nothing ever seems overbearing.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Last night we played:
Dominant Species (I was 3rd with the birds, an impressive finish considering I don't think I ever had more than 7 of my cubes on the board at one time). Sherlock Holmes card game: It's a print and play and not bad for a PnP. 2011 most played: 1. Heroscape/Monsterpocalypse/Quarriors. 4. Warhammer Invasion. 5. Last Night on Earth. |

I think that it might scare some people off as some are more Eurogamers, but others like Ameritrash and theme. Though I think part of it is that what we play depends on who shows up and how many people are available at a given time. For instance, last night when I got there, 3 people were playing Race for the Galaxy and another 4 were just getting ready to start City of Thieves. A few minutes later, 3 other guys showed up and we played Cosmic Encounter and I was hoping to play Cyclades with those guys afterward. But the 3 that were playing Race for the Galaxy were really jonesing to play 7 Wonders and waited about a half-hour for us to finish our game so we can play a 7 player game of 7 Wonders, so I kind of had to play that, considering they kind of waited for us to finish and didn't start another game themselves.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Taught Merchants & Marauders to my wife last night. Because it was her first time, I let her make merchant runs up and down the board while I played as a pirate. My luck was poor, but so was hers. She got trapped in one corner of the board by a pirate frigate and a naval ship her country was at war with. We each lost one captain to Davy Jone's Locker, but she ended up victorious through stashed gold.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
One of the guys in our group mentioned bringing Merchants and Marauders sometime. I'd certainly like to try that one out, it looks pretty darn cool matey!
