Checked Formula 90 out and that looks pretty neat too. I think the main difference in how Thunder Alley works is that you don't just control 1 car, but a team of 4 cars, like in NASCAR. There are cards you play or actions that affect other cars and not just yours, so you can be helping out other players as well because they may be able to draft you. So I think you have to maneuver in such a way to help out your team team cars more than you help other players. Crossing the finish line gives X points based on when you finish, so you might have one of your four cars finish first, but the others finish near the bottom, whereas another player might have more higher finishing cars to end up with more total points. So it seems like two different types of racing games that will allow for different experiences.

If you like Star Realms, you can get it, along with some other electronic card-games for $1 (for all platforms, I believe) in the current Humble Bundle.
On that note, PM me your username if you want to play. I'm hoping this one burns less background processing power than the Ascension app did.

My KS for Rise to Power arrived yesterday. My eldest & I played a game last night. We enjoyed it. It is deceptively involved but is easy to play.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
* &OBTW: A woman from my hometown area started a thread on BGG, saying that she wanted to start a regular Gaming Group. So even though it is now 100 miles away, I joined in the conversation to encourage others to come out and support her efforts. (You can read the details here: < http://www.BoardGameGeek.COM/thread/1231319 >)
Anyway, after two months of introductions and negotiations, last night was the very FIRST TIME these people attempted to get together face-to-face at a Starbucks café inside a Barnes & Noble at Monmouth Mall in Eatontown, NJ - and I participated. Whoohoo! We actually had 8 guys there. One of whom claims to have a lot of HeroScape stuff, but hasn't played in a while, and has never heard of this fan site. I played: Splendor, Tokaido, Love Letter, and Survive: Escape from Atlantis. Three hour trip there and back again ......... it's questionable what my time is worth Ten gallons of gasoline at $2.00/gal .......... $20.00 at the pump 6x the strategically placed toll booths ........ $9.00 to the GSP Trolls A chance to play something other than Carcassonne . . . PRICELESS!

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Got a couple more missions in for Imperial Assault. The first one we played was Sorry about the Mess. The reward is Han Solo as an Ally. This ended before the players even got to the Garage Door. With 3 heroes it was hard for them keep Han protected. There was also a couple times they moved him first out into the open which just allowed me to surround him. Relentless is a great ability for taking out Allies.
The second mission we played was a story mission, Fly Solo. Well this game they did a lot better at protecting Han. They made mistake and attacked and killed my Nexu who was actually blocking any my guys from getting a shot. I also had him set up so the Imperial Officer could Command the Nexu to move and block the entrance. Had they killed my weak officer instead and left my already activated Nexu they wouldve easily won this one. Oh and I love Iggy Pop! Relentless with Assault and a choice of 2 red dice means Han is taking a TON of damage! Next mission: Dark Obsession(?) The Vader agenda mission. The Rebels are seriously thinking about just letting me have Vader since he is 18 threat. @Johngee : The odds on the White die dodge seem ok in the games Ive played. We don't see it alot maybe like 4 times in a mission. I like it better than it being on the attack die which from what Ive read is what Decent did. I do agree though that it wouldve been nice to have seen more than just D6's. Maybe something we will see with expansions? I feel like they have a lot of room to work with right now. I want more Bounty Hunters! Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. |
