The Gnat Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 More Marvel United is coming out in about a week on Kickstarter. They did a live stream this afternoon and showed off the first expansion or maybe KS exclusive expansion, wasn't able to watch, but a large Galactus is coming which looks very awesome. Not as big as the one for Marvel Zombies, thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Are there any board games I can play with a 9 and 6 year old that is understandable for them but complex enough for me to be interested in it? I have no interest in games like chutes and ladders that require no brainpower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or checkout things from Haba, that company makes a lot of games targeting that younger age range like Monza a car racing game, or Dragon's Breath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan4life51 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I’ve been getting into card games lately after going to a coffee shop that had games and the woman working suggested Organ Attack. Been playing that and Doomlings a lot. Have yet to play with more than 2 people, it seems like it would be a blast in groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 I am very curious about Doomlings, it seems like a fun game. I'm a fan of some card games, a lot of them have a lot of take that, which I'm just okay with, or it needs to be limited enough and fast enough.

This one is quick enough and offers some replay value. My kid loves the events that happen. Last Defense! Also the Munchkin franchise also offers a fun game that we used to help our kid learn to read each card thoroughly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 I started playing ISS Vanguard from Awaken Realms last night. It's a bit of a beast to get to the table but a really run time what I've played thus far. Only 40-60 hours of campaign to get through.

The Gnat Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 I've been playing Planet Unknown some recently and it's moving up the ranks for a game that I really like. It's a polyomino planet terraforming game and it's a lot of fun. It's cool how you build out your planet as there is a lazy susan in the middle and depending on what's facing you (or your dock) you place those down. And each planet has special rules which is fun, and each corporation has special rules, so you really get a lot of options to play with.

The Gnat Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 Under two weeks until Gen Con. Anyone else going? I played two games of First Rat, one of the hottest games last year at Gen Con. Still a great game, a resource collection game. And I love the theme of rats trying to build a rocket to get to space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 I played World Wonders this week, it's a light polyomino game with some cool wooden world wonders. A fun game, easy to pick-up and very fast to play. The game isn't the fastest, but turns are really fast which is very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 It looks like CoolStuffInc's online board game presence is going away. They've not done a great job of stocking stuff the past year or so. So I've mainly bought from other places. But they right now have board games 40% off. Not a ton of "great" games on there, but a number of interesting ones and some newer ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 Crowdfunding is going hard right now. A ton of games hitting Kickstarter, Gamefound, and Backerkit that look interesting. I'm backing Marvel Dice Throne X-Men, Flame & Fang, Witcher: Path of Destiny, and Critter Kitchen. And Spirit Fire, a solo adventure game from Orange Nebula (Vindication and Unsettled) is coming to crowdfunding today as well as Secrets of the Lost Tomb and DreamEscape and Wonderous Creatures. Plus I have coming this week and last week from other Crowdfunding games, Roll Player Adventures Expansion, Fliptown, FORK, and Marvel Zombies (that's only shipping in two giant boxes).

MikeT14 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I don't have a great place to post this I don't think, but this might work since it looks like it was brought up some. Long story short, some of my friends want to check off a bucket list item and do a couple hours of a D&D campaign. We're all noobs, barely know anything, just want to sit around, drink, and see what happens. I was googling online on hiring someone to do it via Zoom and found some options. Has anyone done this before and have a go to? Or a suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that'd be a fun way to dip your toes into it. There are some modules as well that if someone wanted to run a game in your friend group, it'd be easy to pick those up and get going, especially ones that have characters already made in them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
