Sentinels of the Multiverse: Oblivaeon arrived. It's the last expansion for the game. So it's a big drag out fight against an entity that's literally trying to end the entire multiverse.

The game is long, the bad guys are ridiculous and the balancing factor is that you don't lose from your character dying, you pull out new ones, and you can recruit help from across different realities to give you a big boost. We won our first game, but I realized we'd actually lost due to a rule I missed the first time through the book. It's a brutal scenario and we are playing the "Easy" version.

I've poked around and found a few tutorials, but the pure ramp up is still intimidating.

What's the easiest way to play? (quickest time to value). Like a semi-guided first mission.

i finally played terraforming mars this weekend and immediately feel in love with it. i snap bought it and i think itll finally motivate me to find a board game group up here (which ive been lacking since i moved.

the game strikes me as a much deeper, cleaner, and faster version of le havre, which is also a very good game, but maybe not so good anymore now that ive played terraforming mars.
with love, your good friend, seathesee

GMT charged me for the Andean Abyss 2nd edition update cards. So we should have those before too terribly long. I'm eager to see what's different

Once you know there's a game called LASER CHESS, why would you play anything other than LASER CHESS

because the LASER part is an unnecessary gimmick and the gameplay is just another chess-like game (two players, perfect information, alternating turns of moving one of your pieces, etc)

Bring on the kung-fu amputees - no arms vs. no legs anyone? A bit of high-speed underground ninja-tunneling is always good as well. I wanna see some shit like that. Crazy monks with gnarly special powers can make any film good. FACT.

It was a peaceful and rave-tastic year, that year after we had created lasers but before we created the battles to use them in.
