Dooooooooooon't be like that!
Our first SEVERAL games were 95% people who hadn't seen the show -- it doesn't matter. You just need to know the premise. What I wrote above I didn't even realize until looking back, though I see how I didn't write it like that.
In other news: Betrayal at House on the Hill is mine! Even if I don't end up liking it, its kind of a collector's item now.
Damn.. First game of Dunwich we got our ass handed badly. 2nd myth card caused a monster surge and since we were with 6 players we already had 8 monsters at the end of the first turn!
One of the portal had thus 4 monsters, all yellow and all badass. What would you do if that occured to you? Can you just move into the portal without fighting the enemies? Do you have to fight them all 4 one at a time with just one investigator (we were poorly equipped at that point in the game)?
Going with 6 wasn't a good idea, can't imagine how it would have gone with 8 players..
After 1 hour we had no closed portal and destiny track was at 10 out of 12. The Ancient was Abhoth and with all the monster surge we had to face, no need to say that we had a rough time killing the Child of Abhoth that spawned here and there.
Oh god I have a headache. And I kept telling my friends "yeah yeah there is a way to win". Right. :lol
It would be kind of cool if you could team up with one investigator to clean up a place. That portal with the 4 yellows really dragged us down.

Playing all RftG online has me totally itching for playing it in person too. How's the new expansion btw? Still haven't played it.

The winners of the "Charlies", the annual wargaming awards, have been annouced, and Conflict of Heroes did tremendously well, picking up the WW2 award, best graphics award (not suprising there!) , and "best" overall wargame award. Very impressive.
As a bonus, playable by mere mortals!

Anyone up for an 8 EST RftG game?

Can use this clock; I'll create right at 8: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=179
Don't even need to play the whole game tonight, would be cool to get four gaffers in a game though.

Server down?
(Also, anyone know of any other asynchronous board games online besides this and Tigris? Want to see if I can't get some of my far away board gaming partners signed up for as many as I can)

Yeah, BSW isn't bad, but I think the interface will be too tough for people to overcome. Also, not asynchronous, at least, Dominion isn't.

I played 3 games of Pandemic with 3 people losing all 3 times (on the easiest difficulty no less!). It was definitely fun, and the two other people seemed like they were enjoying so it was a pretty good weekend overall.

I played a couple games of Monopoly for the first time in a long time and I completely dominated both times. The first game took just over an hour and I decimated everyone else just by having the railroad properties. The 2nd game I'm surprised I won as all I had were the 3 red ones. But I managed to put up hotels and everyone just happened to land on them. This one took a bit longer but still was far shorter than usual.
Anyone got any good Risk strategies to share? I've always been terrible at the game but I think that's because I would always go for Asia which is about the last thing you want to do.

My girlfriend and I played Last Night on Earth and we both figured it would be best with more people. We did enjoy the atmosphere but coopoeration seems to be where this game really shines. Hopefully we can wrangle up a third or fourth by this weekend. Other than LNoE we played a few games of Catan and played Apples to Apples with the large group that was over for our BBQ. Overall it was a good weekend.

You don't need to see the show at all to enjoy it. Trust me, in the first game I played, 2 of the girls never saw the show and it didn't affect things at all.platypotamus said:
Cool, I'll create a game at 4 EST on the dot then. Get in before the BGG freaks that troll the created games there do.

I miss Key to the Kingdom.
That board was beautiful and the game was actually kind of fun. It made my childhood a bit more colorful and fantastical.

I guess this counts as a boardgame as well. I played snakes and ladders: drinking edition, (for ever snake = 1 shot) this weekend. After that experience I've been thinking about how to adapt that into Robo Rally....

Oh sweet god. Isn't the book-keeping in that game nuts (it is on the PC, not sure about the board game version).
That being said, the maps in that game are soooo nice. And you get seven of them!
I think the game might actually be manageable if you have teams of players with different commands that work in parallel-that's the way we play the ACW RSS games from MMP and how we are starting up our next OCS campaign (DAK2), and it speeds up the games tremendously . Just two people managing the reins there would just take too long, I would think.
