I semi cheated in that when I reached a stable point with positive cash flow, I went afk to do other stuff and came back to a pile of cash which allowed for a quick expansion that took care of everything I needed.

Con Man | Indiegogo Not sure if it's worth a thread since it's still in the crowd funding stage, but guessing a few people will be interesting. The concept sounds pretty awesome, in the same vein as Galaxy Quest, which I love. Normally I hate crowd funding stuff done by fairly successful...

Got my city up to 110k and mostly stable, but then I started dicking with the tax rates to unlock some achievements. Aparently people don't like 15% and pretty much everyone deserted my city, leaving it a financial ruin that even detroit would feel sorry for.

officially it's 9, but with unsupported modding you can get it to 25

Even if it ends up being as broken and dodgy as Sim City, the fact it's under half the price makes it far more palatable.

Played Samurai Spirit on the weekend. Really fun little coop game that is similar to ghost stories but I think it's a lot simpler but just as challenging. Quite quick. Our games took under 30 minutes and most of that was due to get used to it, so wouldn't be surprised to see it gone in 15 min or...

Why did you have to let me know about a Viking miniature board game? I'm already well past my year game budget 8(

Yep, all versions will activate through Steam. Cities XL was disappointing, especially since it was the sequel to one of my favourite city builders, City Life. That gave actually tried to do new and interesting things with different goals to aim for and specific requirements to unlock various...

Yeah. Nice to get a solid win but frustration that no other results went out way. Still, made up a little grand in terms of gold difference at least!

Am slightly worried about how like Sim City it is, with the happy faces popping up when you do stuff, and the general grid layout system. It almost feels like they're using the sim city engine and doing it right, which would probably be fine as it is. Hopefully it's just a bag impression I'm...

Hey Moontayle, how did you go with the PNP version of steampunk rally? Had a chance to try it out?

Picked up Rise to Power on the weekend:Rise to Power | Board Game | BoardGameGeek Neat little city building type card game that I've been eyeing off for a while. Finally got a chance to try it and enjoyed it enough to pick it up. Quite a bit cheaper than other games I've bought recently, though...

The only downside to the win was how much it made it a great weekend for Chelsea

I actually think it had more potential than Gotham because it is far more removed from the 'main' story and its characters. There would be less need to drop in characters every episode like they do in Gotham. That said, prequels rarely work, so there's a much higher chance it will be a failure.

fucking great result and even better performance. Looked on top for most of the match and fully deserved the three points. Next three games are going to be huge in terms of how much we can secure a top 4 spot.

I would love to see a series based around Hannibal Barca that was done in the same style as Spartacus. While seeing the triumvirate done would be good, it feels like that story been done a lot already. Not sure I've seen any movie or tv show tackle the Hannibal story.

Was planning to give Telestrations a try this weekend but apparently it's completely sold out in Australia. Going to try and make my own copy using notepads and pictionary cards.

New DLC just came out? Bit over the game, mostly due to how much time it takes up. Probably wait until this one's on sale before picking it up.

If John Wick had been there, he might have ordered a beer from her by mistake.

Played first game of Shadows over Brimstone last night. Pretty cool game. Probably went a bit too long but that was mostly because it was first game for everyone, so lots of explaining and discussion along the way. Holy shit does it have a lot of pieces. So glad it's not mine and I didn't...

One of the best title splash screens they've ever had.

Yeah, but they're at home two days before we away to Besiktas. Just in terms of travel fatigue, they'll have an edge. You're right about it being a free game, and a draw would be a good result. I'd almost be happy with a loss just to help fuck Chelsea's title chances.

Great result and nice to see us finally in touching distance of third and fourth place, but just makes me worry so much more about the next match.

I used the superfluous catan expansion box to house my print and play version of spyfall. It seems appropriate for it to be hiding out in a different game.

Starts tonight! Easily one of my favourite shows. I do wish it was on a channel that allowed a bit more of the blood and guts the Vikings were famous for, but the History Channel has done a great job with it so far.

From what I hear, it involves ripping cards up. Obviously you don't have to do that. But there are also stickers you place on the board, not sure how hard they are to remove while keeping them intact. And packets of cards that are broken open at various point. I guess if you're careful and...

I pretty much had the same reservations and from what I've gathered it's pretty much as you're thinking. You're better off playing with the same regular group of people. People can sub in and out if need be, but that's not really optimal. There does appear to be an end around 15 games I...

I think it's pretty harsh calling them moochers! I know around here, in my various groups, there's quite a few people who just like to buy the games and need the extra bodies to actually play them. Even on the small ones I've bought, I want people to play them with so I get to experience them.

grrr Any mods around who can delete these?

and triple! stupid internet

double post sorry

It might be worth waiting and picking up Pandemic Legacy, which should be released latter this year. Might be new and interesting enough to get your group involved in it. Pandemic Legacy | Board Game | BoardGameGeek I have the opposite problem with my gaming groups. Everyone already has so...

Nice coincidence that video for Argent was just released. I'm a fan of the Watch It Played channel for providing clear instructions on how to play the games rather than reviewing them. Handy to pass on to new people you want to introduce a game to so they have a basic understanding of how to...

E-Shop DCS having a sale on all their stuff, 70% off. They are probably the best simulators out atm. The base world is free, but then you buy the modules to plug into it, depending which planes / choppers/ tanks you want to fly. Flaming Cliffs looks like particularly good value since it...

Excuse me if this is been pointed out before but WTF is up with Tuco's gun? Is it the fakest pos ever seen on tv?

Here's my storage so far. The pink stuff is no slip padding, which I found for $2 and adds some nice cushioning to each of the apartments. Unfortunately it's just think enough that the Nexu won't fit with it, and even the Wookie is a tight squeeze. When all packed up, with the rules and...

Even that would stretch my budget a little since I don't plan to make any more inserts in the forseeable future. Between Dead of Winter and Star Wars, and all the associated stuff I've chosen to buy for them on top, I've pretty much blown my board game budget for the year! I will say that...

That's so awesome

I'm generally pretty against prequels since 95% of the time they turn out terrible. This has started well though and I'm looking forward to watching more. I also thinks it has the potential to be better than Breaking Bad. BB had some great, absolutely brilliant episodes and story arcs, but it...

Cheers! Though that one might not be suitable for me. I doubt my ability to cut accurately to use plans (would love a tool like Vaclav linked but I've already spent way too much), though I do like the appeal of not having to work out and design something myself. Mostly I'm also a big fan of...
