Not tonight, but I'd be in the mood to rustle people up for games tomorrow, if anyone's going to be around.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.
If I ran Shadows over Camelot in Mish Mash, would there be interest in playing it?

I think my first playthrough would be like 3-6 players, probably more likely lower numbers. But it's literally $46 and that would be the most I would have ever spent on a board game. (I know, I'm fortunate/cheap. The most I've ever spent is like $41 for
Stone Age
, which never gets played. :'( Anyone wanna trade?)
Speaking of which I woke up this morning and Amazon sent me mail telling me
Felix the Cat in the Sack
was on sale but it was still $35
I rather intensely dislike
Stone Age
... so that's a no.
I guess I would run cosmic on forum if people really wanted it, it would be fun to mod, but it's a very component-friendly game (you get 20 little UFOs that are a big part of the game). Best option is to find a gamestore with a library, and test it there.
Would play forum-Cosmic
Hells yes. MS people are the perfect people to play it with. You need to have a complete willingness to slit each other's throat in game combined with the ability to ignore the doubledealings when the game is over.

So I was in a clean-y mood tonight and I organized my board games. My storage closet has three shelves so I organized them into three "tiers" based on a combination of how much I like them and how likely they are to get played. The bottom tier is essentially stuff that I would sell or trade for a different game.
Spoiler: Top Tier
7 Wonders
Betrayal at House on the Hill
Coloretto
Innovation
Jamaica
Liar's Dice
Libertalia
Rapid Recall
Saint Malo
Settlers of Catan
Survive: Escape from Atlantis
Survivor: The Game
Steam Park (it hasn't been played yet, but right now it's here)
Tobago
Yahtzee
Spoiler: Middle Tier
5 Second Rule
Anomia
Buzzword
Chupacabra: Survive the Night!
Fluxx
Forbidden Island
Hedbandz
Lifeboats
Primordial Soup
Saboteur
Sequence
Size Matters
Werewolves of Millers' Hollow
Spoiler: Bottom Tier
Bang!
Bohnanza
Catchphrase
The Game of Things
Quelf
The Resistance
Stone Age
Swap!
Topple

I don't dislike Bohnanza. Maybe I've just been unlucky with it, but I've never played anything other than the 2-player variant. I've had it for over a year so it's bottom tier.
The Game of Things is kind of neat I guess, but it's kind of fiddly with all the paper and such. I'd much prefer playing it on here or somewhere else electronically. Also I have recently realized that the cards can be used for other hilarious ventures. However, when I was organizing everything I opened to find that half the cards were still in shrink wrap, lol

I am so looking forward to seeing how Shadows over Camelot will be like with mafia players playing. Woo.

Bohnanza
is definitely best when played with 5 or so players - the trading with lots of people aspect is what drives the game. It's worth giving it a try with a larger crowd.

Like I've said before, my group just doesn't really care for traitor-based games like Mafia or the Resistance. I think it was one of the first games I bought but despite it's simplicity our group has only played it once.
