Keith and I will probably bring some cool games too.

We'll try and bring some of our rarer stuff, cause we don't need too many copies of the same games.

So far I am bringing Tragedy Looper, Code of Nine and Cutthroat Caverns. If people really want to try games that aren't being brought yet, just like, PM me and I'll try and bring them.

Also, I can bring Eldrich Horror, if people are like, wanting Arkham Horror style games.

The more games you play, the better it gets as you start to understand the interactions and intricacies of the game.

For example, I was able to keep control of my room for 10 straight rounds over the 2 games we played, mostly because I was able to work with the greys in the first round, and BE a grey in the second round.

It's all about knowing the setup, understanding where the numbers in your room are, and taking control.

And if you don't have control, be as annoying and in the face of the leader at all times, never let them make a secret plan, follow them around.. It's entirely legal, 100%.

I truly hate that game. Truly and sincerely.

But I'm glad everyone else had fun playing it.

Ah, well then I'm happy we didn't play any more than we did, because it kind of takes up all the room in your house and leaves you out.

I wasn't actually aware you hated that game so much.

oh, that was the first game with MI6 and rival+survivor instead of the second

stealing control of the room on the final round as red the first game and that helping red team to win there felt pretty good though :3

No shade to Cephrir, but it was his first game, and he needed to be able to tell me who the President was, and keep control of his room, but he forgot who it was and couldn't find out and it was sad.

Cause that was an Easy win for Blue the whole time. We had both rooms, and it's easy if he just keeps sending me reds and then sends the president in the last round.

I mean, my entire MO in 2 rooms and a boom is to basically be losing until I win.

I like the opposite. I like to be the one in control so I can dictate the way the win conditions for each team develop.

Lady Lambdadelta · Tue May 17, 2016 12:09 pm

In that game Bro, we HAD all the neutrals in my room. I was able to control my room SOLELY because of that, and because it was an even numbered room. (8 people meant I only needed 4 to keep control, but 5 to TAKE control).

Lady Lambdadelta · Tue May 17, 2016 12:10 pm

In post 1006, BROseidon wrote:That second game we played was weird b/c the neutrals just took control of both rooms at the start, and the numbers were such that neither team could ever actually change the status quo.

Which is also why I don't like even-numbered rooms. They make who gets elected at the start too powerful.

I think they're a part of the game like anything else is.

Lady Lambdadelta · Tue May 17, 2016 12:11 pm

Like, with an even number of players both rooms are even, and with an odd number, one room is even.

So like, it's a huge and intentional part of the game.

the game is a bit of a brain burner the first time you play it. Once you play more of it, it becomes easier to understand and more like a puzzle.
