So many people love this game, I had to buy it. Reading the rules, really excited me. Then I watched the Su&Sd review...and I often times I agree with them...so...now I'm nervous about introducing it.
Paul Beakley they went on in their usual style, and then did one of their buuuts. Lots of cards that do lots and lots of things until you have huge piles of cards, a map that looks like it should be key to the game but really there's nothing interesting going on there, and a game where everybody just stares at their board moving cubes to move more cubes to get other cubes which never feels like anything to do with Mars because in the end it's the usual pasted on theme of a euro-game.
I liked it. There's a lot of tactical depth, you can go several different ways to win. The cards are very evocative and fun to read. But yeah, it's a board game, lots of little bits that you move around, if that's not your thing you won't like it.
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)
Mike Ness auto-awesomed What a weird show. Huge mosh pit full of dude-bros and middle aged dudes (and some badass chick with hemp purse that she never lost) stomping around like the freakin' Bushwackers from the WWF. Met a middle-aged english couple who used to be in the music distributor business who had been at a bunch of the same shows as we had over the last few years.
I liked it a lot, let me know how it goes

ReplyDeleteRalph Mazza it's really good. What did SU&SD have to say?
ReplyDeleteI usually agree with them as well but I can also tell when they've crawled all the way into their own heads.
I liked it. I was the UN and farmed terraforming points.

ReplyDeleteNah. That's not really how it plays.
