I don't really know a lot about the CCG model, to be fair. I mean obviously I get the ~gist~, I get the whole point of "You never know what you're gonna get", but meh I personally think expansions are a good way to add to a game (The Pandemic one was pretty great for me). I dunno, they definitely got more time though - your partner was fairly quiet, I thought whereas they worked better together and probably made a slightly stronger argument.In post 1128, xRECKONERx wrote:

And it's made by the devil. Although knowing that the cards are made from the pulped flesh of the damned makes the price point a bit more palatable.-

My wife and I played Firefly on Easter. Then we played it twice more. Crazy fun! I describe it as a mix between Arkham Horror and Empire Builder.

I feel too young to comment on this thread but I really want to get into board games like these...except I think I missed out on the generation that had it here in Australia. I don't think there are many that go about and I don't think there would be any shops that sell them and even less people I know who would want to play them. ._.
I think this thread is pretty cool though. ^_^/"It hurts to have control over anything. I'd rather be a leaf in the wind."

There's not such a thing, new games get made all the time, new favorites rise up. Missing out has more to do with the people you are with than with generations. Settlers made big waves in our family and for years it would get played whenever we met. Games like carcassonne or dominion never even found their entrance, even though you might describe them as decent accessible board games. Scumchat got me to play dominion online back when that was readily available. On the brit meet, I saw all kinds of strange games I had never played before and they were fun as well (I made an effort to introduce coup with some family members the weekend after!).
You don't miss out on stuff with this. All you need is people to play with. As for shops, you kind of have to run into them. I doubt there's a lot of profit to make on games, but there's always people who make their hobby into their job and run some small store in a non-prime location. Otherwise, the internet sells everything you could possibly need.Surrender, imagine and of course wear something nice.-

I don't know how old you are, but there are usually weeklyish board game groups. If you're old enough to do things on your own, you're probably old enough to try the groups.In post 1134, Hanasawa wrote:I feel too young to comment on this thread but I really want to get into board games like these...except I think I missed out on the generation that had it here in Australia.

If you're in Melbourne, for example, here are some meetup groups: http://www.meetup.com/find/?allMeetups= ... ter=mysugg , this one seems to be the biggest: http://www.meetup.com/Boardgames-group- ... egy-games/
Same goes, I'm sure, for other cities in Australia.
Board gamers are usually eager to teach people new games, so I wouldn't worry about that. You might try to start with some of the less complex ("gateway" is the term usually used) games..-

This seems like the thread for it:
The Hanabi game that has made Faraday swear off ever playing Hanabi again--or talking to me.

Hanabi is my type of game. Are there any other games like it that people know of?"It hurts to have control over anything. I'd rather be a leaf in the wind."

Anybody played the new Legendary expansion yet? I've heard it's a rather good addition to the game, even though I've never been a huge Spider-Man fan.-

Too general. Though I guess I'll probably have to try them all if I want to say anything. Couple that I've already tried are on there too.
EDIT: Maybe to say that I don't want any games with a traitor mechanic might be more helpful.Last edited by Hanasawa on Fri Apr 25, 2014 1:47 am, edited 1 time in total."It hurts to have control over anything. I'd rather be a leaf in the wind."

Me and LLD enjoy Darkest Night and Forbidden Island. The D&D games are also very good, and check out Mice and MysticsShowThat which is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil
