Seedy's dream. 

I would go so Red Army on that.  With the Red Army.

Fantasy Flight holiday sale is on.

[Maximus]

That's OK, I bought my sister a copy of Pandemic for Xmas about 5 or 6 years ago, since she's a bio instructor and big into immunology.  It's still in the shrink under the coffee table. 

Runs in the family, does it?

MMP's Early Black Friday is this week, too. 

However, I am officially broke.

When are you fucking mutts going to get it straight?  None of my games are in shrink.

He's getting closer. The two games I'm looking forward too.


At Any Cost

Berkut and I are having a fun No Retreat game, with me being Axis. I got just one VP from auto-victorying his ass before the table turned at winter of 1943. Now he is about to collapse my entire frontline.

So I got a UPS shipping notice in my inbox for delivery tomorrow, and I'm like, "Huh?"

Apparently Clash of Arms is shipping...Legion of Honor.   

[Habbaku]

   No shipping notice for me yet.

[CountDeMoney]

It's not like I'll get it anytime soon, though;  I pre-paid for it so long ago, he shipped it to my condo.   

[Habbaku]

Yeah, he had my old address in there, too.  Fortunately, I had the foresight to amend that a while back.  Pre-paid for the damn thing over 5 years ago.

Fortune and Glory.

My experience with Flying Frog games has never been great, there's usually little behind the great production values and fun themes. But as a huge Indiana Jones fan, I really *HAD* to get this one. Sadly it's no better than their usual fare. Way too randomness and dice throwing; you really haven't much control on the outcome of the game as it's all about being lucky with the cards you draw and the dices you roll, and there isn't much strategy to it. The only fun thing is playing against the Nazis and some interesting mechanics that are never exploited to the full. As usual the game's production values are really good and the theme is really well put, but there isn't an engaging game past that.

[Syt]

I thought F&G had some cool ideas, but put together they create quite a drag of a game and it's really slow paced which doesn't suit the theme well.

I play Last Night on Earth with friends a couple times per year, and it's a much better (not to mention more intuitive) game.

[celedhring]

I haven't played Last Night on Earth, I understand it's considered the best one they put out. I have played Touch of Evil, Invasion of Planet Earth and Shadows of Brimstone, and I haven't fallen in love with any.

A lovely production.  Glad I paid for it 3 years ago, or I'd be compelled to sift through the change jar for it today.
