Board Games (Reviews, Rules, Regulations, Random)


The Gnat

Recommended Posts

I played Photosynthesis for the first time last night.

It's a really interesting engine building game and looks amazing on the board with the 3D trees for it. It was also easy to learn, in a learning game with three players, think it took us under 2 hours, if you knew what you were doing, probably could get it down by 30 minutes. But I'd highly recommend this game, it's definitely an abstract game, but because of how they've themed some of the parts, it feels pretty thematic.

Our warlock stuck his hand in the void in the entrance hall and pulled back a nub. 😂

He almost stuck his head in to take a look. 😬

Reading this thread is so weird for people who don't know what in the hell this means.

I watched the D&D episodes of Community, so I'm in the know now. 

Not a huge fan of the shows later work, but I couldn't stop laughing at this:

It's hard to find folks with the imagination to do that instead of just hacking and slashing and launching spells. But the game is 10000000x more fun if/when stuff like that happens, in my opinion.

The two D&D episodes have my wife and I wanting to try D&D... specifically so I can do stuff like this.

I think you'd like it, for sure. Shenanigans, plotting, the occasional murder hobo-ing. Seems right up your alley.

There was a hilarious live journal post  I remember reading long ago about the 500 things this guy (Mr. Glen) was no longer allowed to do in rpgs such as D&D and the like. The number ended up ballooning to like over 2000 at later times, but it felt forced and things he was doing just to add to the list, but the original 500 is still pretty hilarious, particularly if you are familiar with the vernacular and set up of rpgs

Well, that learned him.

Now he can just make a run to get a spell to reattach a dead hand to his arm.
