the first time we played i thought i had a solid strategy of snatching up all the churches i could. (cloisters or whatever they call them) not realizing how many gaps there would be in the board at game's end. i didn't get a single church "completed". my kids spend pretty much the whole game building tiny "insta-cities" and fighting over roads. they trounced me solidly. not so clever after all.
I had the mobile version before we got the actual game, so I'd had some practice. We've played four or five times and she's come close before, but never won. She was pretty happy tonight.
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)

ReplyDelete"Surprisingly cool" is a good way to put it.
