The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Seafall is nothing spectacular. Not as entertaining as Risk Legacy. Or from what I hear Pandemic Legacy.
I wanna play House on the Hill Legacy.
PDH!

Habbaku

House on the Hill Legacy was pretty fun with my local group. It's better if you've played a decent amount of the regular version, so you'll get a lot of the references, but it's not necessary.

The first session alone was worth the price of entry due to the hilarity factor.

Pandemic Legacy is great. Almost finished season 2 with my group.

Habbaku

Same. I think my group is at...October? It's been a bit since we've played though. I should try to finish it during the Christmas break.

I think I like Season 2 more than 1, though we'll see if they stick the landing.

I'm liking it more so far. I like that they changed the base gameplay a little, and the story is better/more fleshed out.

Agreed. I really wanted some seafaring game. Seafall is not it. I have not played any other legacy games.

Maracaibo is coming out soon, but the reviews I have seen are more lukewarm than I expected.

That sucks.  Combat Commander is an excellent design.
