I've been browsing BoardGameGeek quite a bit again recently and Scythe seems to be the talk of the town (it's #1 on The Hotness). It does sound pretty cool.

I'm thinking of upgrading my Kindle finally. I'm looking to get a Paperwhite but I was wondering do Kindles go on sale very often? I'm in no rush so I figured I would try to wait until it goes on sale if that is feasible.

I bought Forbidden Island after Pandemic and we have played it a whopping once. It is basically a simpler version of Pandemic. Pandemic is really superior in every way. Dominion is not co-op but it's really good with two.

That chapter has me kind of excited. I mean surely the last two books will be amazing as he finally starts to tie up some loose ends and so forth. I'm really interested to see how all the characters end up.

Quarriors, Carcassonne, Dominion, Lords of Waterdeep or Ticket to Ride are some good entry level games.

The game with no mods was enough to hold my attention for quite a few playthroughs. There are tons of mods available, although I don't know if they are all available on Steam yet or not. I play the non-Steam version still. If you ever get bored of the base game, or even the base game with lots...

Are there any good RPGs for PC that are similar to Final Fantasy Tactics in combat mechanics?

Cities and Knights + Explorers and Pirates makes for an awesome game. Some of the elements from Cities and Knights aren't designed to work with Explorers and Pirates but if you just go on the Catan website they have a section on compatability of the expansions that explains everything.

Yeah I decided against Dice Masters based on a lot of the Amazon reviews saying it wasn't much fun unless you can dump a good amount of money into it. Granted, Quarriors is pretty expensive too, but I also felt like my wife would like Quarriors better. She doesn't like direct conflict. She...

Nice. Terra Mystica is definitely on my buy list, but it will still be a few months before I feel the need for more games. My latest order was Quarriors with the Quartifacts expansion and Race for the Galaxy's second expansion, Rebel vs Imperium. Quarriors is pretty fun. It's a dice game that...

Out of the 15 or so games that I played I think I faced 13 mages. Does everyone assume mage is the best because of Flamestrike?

Highly recommend this game, and grabbing it at 75% off is literally a steal.

Are they alternating episodes 7-9 with the standalone films every other year? So Episode 7 in 2015 then 8 in 2017 and 9 in 2019?

Darth Plagueis awakes from the dead and goes on a Gungan killing spree. I would pay to see it.

I saw on Quill18's let's play that you get less and less experience each time you kill the same mob. So if you have killed 10 spiders you probably get 0 xp from them.
