Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Thanks, all. I'm getting the feeling we'll be getting them all, sooner or later. Cheapest way is to win Heroscape tournaments & use the ensuing store credit.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Played a game of Warhammer: Invasion last night... We randomly drew for races and compiled a quick deck each from the expansion packs. My girlfriend was the Chaos, and I the Orcs.
This was a pretty intense match. As I was trying to build up my kingdom for resources to summon some heavy hitter units, she was taking the opportunity to pick away at my undefended Quest capital. When I finally had the capability to summon the heavy hitters, my capital was near burning, but worth the sacrifice as I attacked her hard causing extensive damage with my "buffered" High Mountain Troll, "buffered" Giant Spider, and Githet Cutfroat Hero (who has buffering abilities). All in all it would look like victory was within my grasp as her kingdom capital had 6 damage, her quest capital was burning, and her units wittled down to nothing. I had a burning quest capital, 4 damage to my kingdom, and 3 to my battlefield. It was her turn and she had three units with only 1 power each. I had a lonely unit with a defense of 2 in my kingdom and my powerhouse team at the battlefield. I knew she would attack my kingdom and my lonely unit would be able to hold off enough damage to keep me in the fight for just one more turn, which was all that I needed. Then came the sucker punch!!! She draws for her quest phase, and grins an evil grin. With that drawn card, she plays a tactic that corrupts my lonely defender. In her capital phase, she pays to summon another unit, giving her enough points to burn down my now undefended kingdom! It was one of the coolest upsets that I have experienced... The Orcs (never defeated in my household) have finally tasted defeat. The "kid in the candy store" smile my girlfriend had for the upset win was priceless. It takes a revolution to begin evolution... www.myspace.com/theautimis - Check out the Heroscape inspired song, "Valhalla's On Fire" at this link!!! (lyrics included) |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I got in 2 games of Dominion today.
First game was with my 8 year-old twin daughters. Previously I just shuffled and helped while they played each other. This time I got to play, though I still shuffled. My daughter Paige won that one. Second game is a milestone as I finally got my wife to join us to play. I won that one, but the biggest win for me was that my wife actually tried it and liked it. Great fun with the four of us playing. The girls get a thrill out of using Militia to mess others up. We played just the base set up as with all the previous games with the daughters. I'll ease them into the other Kingdom Cards as we go.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
We've played a mess of Thunderstone over the past week. The Kid finally took one from me in a game we wrapped up this morning; he's getting better at striking the balance between outmaneuvering me in the Village and knowing when to go to the Dungeon.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Scape x 4
Dragon Dice I got in 2 games of scape with my daughter and 2 with Raider30. My daughter will be playing in her very first tournament in June and I'm stoked. I feel like a proud dad. So we've been working out some kinks in her army selection. Empress Kiova just isn't going to cut it no matter how cool she looks... Raider30 and I also got in a few games for the tourney practice. We split the games between us. But man the Elf Wizards are horrible... Dragon Dice was a great game. It took almost 2 hours though, which is real odd. I hadn't had a game last longer than 45 minutes before that. Raider30's army was Dwarven Mammoth Riders and Lava Elf Mages. I had my Feral army with a few trolls and phoenix thrown in. I captured an 8th face early but he dropped 2 dragons and me and sent me to my death. But the Troll's regeneration power was too powerful and with a few well timed lightning strikes and some ashes to ashes I was able to get him buried faster than he could me. Finally he beefed up his Mammoth Riders with Burning Hands and Flaming Armor but a smite from my phoenix and huge melee attack from army stopped him in his tracks. Dragon Dice - (the 2nd best game there is) Learn to Play! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h3q6...wujcr8vVf8e21G |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Nightfall x2 for the first time tonight. The first game was mostly learning. The second, my poor son kept chaining his starting cards and not paying attention to the fact he could discard cards for more influence. At the end of the game, his deck had more wounds than order cards.
Another good deck builder. I am going to have to find more players. I want to try it with 3+. Guess I'm getting back into Scape |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Two days ago:
Fury of Dracula x1 My Dracula took the game, after one of his minions killed Mina with a knife. Yesterday: Scape x1 at Grishnak's. Epic C3G game of my 1,600 points villians against Grishnak and son's heroes. Villians: Magneto, Pyro, Blob, Mystique, street thugs, Sentinels x4, Toad. Heroes Grishnak: Wolverine, Beast, Jean Grey, Profesor X. Son: Cyclops, Collosus, Nightcrawler, Ice Man, Angel. The sentinels carried the day, killing Wolverine, Beast, and leaving Jean Grey, Collosus and Cyclops injured. The game got closer when the fourth sentinel finally died but Magneto, Toad and Pyro were able to finish the job. 2011 most played: 1. Heroscape/Monsterpocalypse/Quarriors. 4. Warhammer Invasion. 5. Last Night on Earth. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Great to see a C3G game being played and it's extra fun to see the Sentinels go so good as sometimes they get a bad rap. But it looks like they had a nice showing.

I can see the Sentinels being weak against a superman or something like that but against the X-Men (mutants) yesterday they were just about unstoppable. With that 7 defense dice, their ability to move any chosen sentinel on any order marker and advance other sentinels when combat dice are rolled, forget it. There were moments in that game where I thought I was going to kill all of the X-men with just those 4 sentinels. 2011 most played: 1. Heroscape/Monsterpocalypse/Quarriors. 4. Warhammer Invasion. 5. Last Night on Earth. |
