Looks excellent! Q) If I were to buy Ticket to Ride to play with groups of people who have never before played Ticket to Ride, which Ticket to Ride would I be best buying? Ticket. |

Agreed. TTR Europe has its fans for getting people in, but explaining the tunnels, ferries, and station rules adds a little bit more complexity which early on might be off-putting. |

Adding it up, i have 24/35 netrunner datapacks, a core set, 2 deluxe expansions and 6 alt art cards. Which is frightening. Good news is, only 11 datapacks to go to catch up to right now, and 2 deluxe expansions. |

And that's Netrunner done for the year. What started out as losses became closer losses then a few wins. We're now back to closer losses again, but things are up a notch. I will keep going at it. |

We played another game of Hero Quest last night and ace it was too. Playing as the dungeon master, I managed to kill the Elf but I was no match for the Dwarf and Wizard as they won the game in the end and managed to get Sir Ragnor to safety. |

Don't worry, you've only got to wait until October and the cottage before we can have a game. It's not that long. |

Played Game of Thrones last saturday with friends and it's probably my favourite board game right now. It ticks all the boxes of what i find appealing in a boardgame. My wife won, as usual when it comes to boardgames, but I have to play again asap, but stupid christmas got in the way. |

Relative got us pandemic, sister in law says we have to play it tomorrow morning before we go home - looks surprisingly simple. First born read the back of the box and declared he didn't really see the point... He is not getting a choice. Anyway, night beex, you're all lovely |

We've played it three times over the last couple of days and really got into it. I think I much prefer co-operative games, the conversation seems much better. |

Me and my wife bought Twilight Struggle to gift each other for christmas. It's brilliant and I can't stop thinking about it. It's my new favourite boardgame, brazilian-ish translation not withstanding I also got Munchkin on the christmas haul, which is quite fun with a big group and works better as a social experience. Jasmine, I see those Forbidden Island tin boxes in stores all the time and they look pretty great. Is the game worth it? |

Well I really like them, but probably because they are cooperative and get some good discussion going. If you're going to choose one of the two Forbidden Island is slightly more simple to start with. My favourite from that stack has to be Pandemic though. I've loved it since Kern first taught me how to play it at the cottage. |

I got myself Colditz for Christmas, first game was a bit of a mess learning all the rules and took about 4 hours! second was much more fun and I can see the more we play the more fun will be had with misdirection and maximum-poker-face. Immersive and fun game but requires a pretty big time commitment, definitely worth getting into character and shouting German words at the other players when you're a guard. |
