I will have you know I play a LOT of Uno so take your sarcasm elsewhere.

So if anyone has any version of Fluxx and they bring it, they immediately become my best friend

The fact that no one here has said Blood Rage yet dissapoints me greatly. WHO DOESN'T LIKE VIKINGS?
Also Keyflower is a staple, granted I've only played it once, and Agricola is great.
Jaipur, Pandemic (any version really) and Puerto Rico are all ones I'd love to see played.

Are we talking about the same jaipur? It's just a rummy variant, has quick set up and plays hyper fast.

By the by, since we are a week out let's talk about some logistical things. Here is how I understand everyone is arriving in Portland:

Image

Most people will be going to my place as a staging area, and then we will break into carpools. Current drivers are me in a borrowed van, my wife, Malkon, Kittymo, and Ceph. Currently working on getting one more driver and then if my math is right we will have enough car slots to move everyone from my house to the Airbnb.

Hey everyone, get your ronpaul.gif's ready because
IT'S HAPPENING!


Here are some rules which have mostly been plagiarized from Reck and the Survivormeet II thread:
SOME GAME RULES!
  • No pregame alliances
    . Sure, chat with people. We're all friends here. But don't explicitly make any pregame plans with people.
  • No pregame advantages
    . I will say it like this: you cannot bring anything with you that will give you an advantage in the game, but anything within the game itself is fair. Example: you cannot bring 50 fake idols with you to fuck with people. But if you find stuff at the meet itself that you want to use to make a fake idol, that's legit.
  • No bitching.
    We're gonna have a tight schedule for a day or two and tbh the last thing anyone wants to here is whining about how tired you are. Suck it up soldier, this is Survivor. I promise I'm not going to be mean on purpose but I'm also not letting the schedule get away from us this time. We have
    five mods
    to keep things moving along, trust us, we know what we're doing.
  • The game is always on.
    We have plenty of downtime scheduled during the game to try to alleviate burnout this time (more 30 minute breaks in between, longer periods for dinner and after the game ends at night), but even during that downtime, the game is still on. People could still pull each other aside to talk about plans, etc.
    We are just leaving those periods of time as basically "free time". And hey, who knows? Playing board games with people may form some strong bonds anyway.
  • Play to win.
    Picture this: it's the first morning we're there. You're hungover because you drank too much Friday night like an idiot. You're grumpy because we made you get up before noon. You're whiny. You just want to quit. So you tell people to vote you out and give up so you can lay in bed all day or play board games. This completely cheapens the experience for every other person who came to play. So please -- play your asses off, no matter how hungover you are, because it makes it all the sweeter of a victory for whoever wins and adds to the experience.
  • Don't be an idiot.
    Last time Reck got hit with a ton of charges for damages. Some of those were bullshit (like the shower) but others were caused by attendees (the garbage can, the mysterious sheets that got peed on and left in a corner for some fucking reason). I have promised my wife that this won't be a problem at this meet, and if any of you turn me into a liar I will be very angry. The alcohol policy is as follows: beer and wine are fine, anything harder than that is not. Since my credit card is on file with Airbnb I reserve the right to cut people off.
That's all I can think of right now. Let's make this a great event, and I can't wait to see you all.

I have Avalon and can bring it.

Seriously, someone read my list and let me know which stuff I should bring vs. what others will bring.

I'm bringing exactly 5 games:

Oregon Trail Card Game
Bang
Exploding Kittens
Zombie Fluxx
Choose Your Own Adventure: House of Danger

I figure enough other games will be brought that this is satisfactory.

kittymo: in my opinion the Merlin mechanic makes Resistance actually playable compared to Vanilla (via Avalon or expansions) but that's just me. it does work pretty well in practice but I've also almost never
been
Merlin so bit of bias there

think I like secret hitler better tho for that kinda game

monty if no one ends up suggesting stuff, 7 Wonders and Cosmic Encounter are always good choices (and from LLD's list, Coup).

not even going to this meet but there's some opinions
If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?
