You should really play NetHack though.

I seem to remember you complaining about Galaxy Trucker, Reck.

On the positive side, it's utter chaos and watching your carefully planned turn fall apart because one other player intervened is both horrifying and exhilarating.

On the negative side, it's utter chaos and watching your carefully planned turn fall apart because one other player intervened is both horrifying and exhilarating.

Every turn is one step forward and four steps back.

Once, would like to play again.

And it's a little bit like FTL.

Still trying to get a feel for how I feel about it. I disliked that the actual play through after building your ship seems to be 90% negative things and no "rewards". Mostly. May have been an unlucky deck?
Eh, what I meant is that it's mostly "luck based" on what you flip over. If you get something awful you don't need and the person beside you grabs a bomb ass storage compartment, that's luck, not skill. Sure there's skill in placing the pieces you get on your ship, but flipping over what you need is luck.

That's for a single tile.

Betrayal just became flawless.

Ythan · Mon Mar 31, 2014 11:44 am

Oh yeah there are tokens in this game.

And there's approximately a one in fifty chance that it will occur, less still that you will also be the one screwed.

Exactly.

And G it has a second edition. Did you play the first?

And an imdb page.

Doesn't mean you're not crazy.

Japanese-named firework-themed backword-handed collaborative card games.

Did you guys ever play Arkham Horror and it not take hours?

Ythan · Post Post #2270 (isolation #17) » Sat Oct 03, 2015 8:23 am

Get more cabinets of course.

Ythan · Post Post #2281 (isolation #18) » Mon Oct 19, 2015 8:30 am

Pandemic + Risk Legacy?

Ythan · Post Post #2283 (isolation #19) » Mon Oct 19, 2015 3:59 pm

I played Risk Legacy. Pandemic is the opposite of what I thought but I knew it was a disease game.

Everyone needs a copy of Shadow Hunters.

So we can play an all Bob game.

Love Letter was loads of fun yes.

Would you play Jumanji y/n

Suspend is lots of fun.

Finally playing this with more than two people. It's nice to have a moment that I'm not looking at charts.

I seem to remember it being a role in rmmmmm.

Idk I may be in the minority but I do love crazy role madness games.

I am once again Baron of All thee Railes.

My mom and aunt used to get each other's kids noisy toys as like a back and forth prank kind of situation.

Wouldn't it be so fun to play Pandemic in a PAPR.

Liar's dice is super fun.

I've never seen this before and it's kinda brilliant.

The Arkham Horror lcg looks neat, lots of less frequently referenced content packed in there.

Masterpiece is fun.

Ythan · Post Post #4011 (isolation #37) » Fri May 20, 2022 8:52 am

I played the 1970 edition which sadly predated the little easel but I saw it while googling around yesterday and thought that addition looked very fun.
