What boardgames have you played recently?

[Steven Pleva]

Played "Galaxy Trucker" last night at JR's and thought it was a hoot. It is light fare and should not be taken too seriously. It makes for a good 1 hour nightcap...

Make sure you get the Dark Pharoh expansion. It doubles the site cards, so you're not doing the same ones over and over. Highly recommended. The other expansions just add time to the game. Anyone besides me think that Fantasy Flight does too many expansions?

Yes. It is clear (to me at least) that they are now producing games with a mind to how many expansions they can pump out, which bothers me somehow. I would prefer if they would put more effort into getting the base game right, or at least if they did not appear to be attempting to milk me for cash with a flood of expansions.

Probably one of the downsides of running a game company "like a real business." Fantasy Flight does good work, but always appears to be looking at that cash generation angle first and foremost. It's their right (and some would say obligation) as a business, but I find it a bit frustrating as a gamer.

That being said, I agree that Arkham Horror is great fun for what it is, and the base game there alone is enjoyable.

I actually shied away from Dark Pharoah (and the King in Yellow) and bought the Dunwich Horror expansion, as it appeared to add more to the game.

I currently have Silent War set up and I play a few subs each morning as I'm drinking my morning cup of coffee before work.

For TDC I've not even been charged yet...

In these weeks I'm attending a friendly league at Combat Commander Mediterranean (GMT) at our club.
Previously I've played at La Bataille de Quatre Bras (CoA) .

A month ago I also managed to play with my wife at Battleline (GMT)... I always try to have her play something, but I rarely succeed... Perhaps my daughter, when she'll grow up (now she's three years old). Ehm...

Battleline is very fun!

My son just introduced the family to Munchkin which I find very funny and he really enjoys getting the most powerful character.

Poker,

Was in Vegas after super bowl solo
2/4 up 428
2/5 down 82
2/6 up 845

Pretty good given that I was in Vegas for free.

 

[Darrell Andersen]

Well, well...look at what crawled up from the Florida swamps!

 

[djpeteski2]

Yea, I think I have played 2 scenarios of ASL in like the past 3 years.

How ya doin?

 

[Darrell Andersen]

Doing well.

Good to see you on here. I'm sure that your upscale erudition will only add to the quality banter, witty repartee and intelligent discussion that these parts are famous for.

Welcome!

I heard Belford's erudition doesn't go upscale anymore.

Quick, hand Granny a shawl ...

Hell, I've played more than that and you give me crap all the time! Why don't you rip him a new one, peckerhead? :angry:

That was Freakin' awesome. So the local radio station has a contest. Free round trip airfare for two, hotel stay, $250 spending money to Vegas. Enter online as many times as you want. Me, I write a program to enter me a half million times. Turns out there was less than a million entries, and over half were mine.

So I had to look up erudition and still does not know what it means.

You have become a mouthy b-itch haven't you? Remember I still own you. Put your damn dog collar on when you are around me.

Did you run winter war this year?

Yeah but you deserve it. Or will at sometime in the future when we're not around, so we're just making sure you get enough sh*t on a karmic level to see you through all the lean times when we're on vacation or unable to come to the computer because Glennbo's mom's being too demanding.

Enjoy.

Have become a mouthy b-itch? Please ... I've always been this way!!

You no longer own me ... Darrell does. And he's much more gentle with the Vaseline than you ever were.

Some would say that I've run Winter War into the ground Seriously, though, still running the event (10th one this year), and we have a great ASL room at the new hotel (just down the street from the Chancellor) ... ample space and windows, a great room.

You gotta take your poker winnings and come back next year ... have to give you a chance to win me back from Darrell.

Hey Pete, who's the Mouseketeer in your avatar?

I think you've been watching "High School Musical" a bit too often ...

Man, I missed this ...

"have to give you a chance to win me back from Darrell."

I sure didn't keep you around for your memory. Remember a couple weeks ago when I traded you to Hildebran?? They needed a new do-rag manager for the Grofaz slayer Shelling.
