Played more The Battle of Five Armies tonight.  That game really is very well put-together.
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.

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.  :lol:

Runs in the family, does it?

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

Got Imperial Assault for Christmas. As both a big Descent and Star Wars fan, that's the game I was looking for.

Every year that I've been at Origins and attended the auction, there's been at least 1 game for which the description says, "Counters punched but not played" as if it makes any difference to the condition of the game.

To a collector, yes.

Because sometimes "Played" can translate to "Counters worn and faded", "Minor soda stains when Dave opened that Dr. Pepper that one time", or "Cheetos dust on most of the German counters."
