I need a boardgame to play with my wife. After scouting the internet, i came to this shortlist:

Jaipur
Pandemic
Agricola: all creatures small and big
Castles of burgundy

are these good choices?

I also have copied Matt in backing Exploding Kittens

Was that me? I'm a fairly regular drunk backer.

Since my post last week I have to add Memoir 44 and Dead of Winter to my games list. Both are excellent as expected and I heard dead of winter is going to be on tabletop so expect it to be sold out everywhere soon. I actually bought it as soon as it was back in stock and now that I've heard that, I'm glad I did.

I also have copied Matt in backing Exploding Kittens, looks fun for a party/light/travel game and it has been smashing kickstarted records so I thought I may as well back it for the nsfw kickstarted exclusive deck.

Also we'll have finished a game by the time Gaywood has figured out how the first phase of Game of Thrones works.

I fear that will go forever unplayed.

I think Russell may have this, but we only tried playing when I was really, really ill, so was not a success as I could barely remember my name, let alone why everything was sideways.

Ultimately, I don't think it looks that complicated once you get the hang of it, but I think it's probably easier to learn the rules if the person explaining the game doesn't keep singing/dancing as they are doing it. You might not have this problem, though.

Been through the whole d-ner, d-ner, d-ner roooound, done each step, done each step, done each step pchooooooowwww Bdum, bdum, bdum? OK. Oh, you forgot that Eddard Eddard Eddark Starky warky wowowow wwwwww bum chicka, bum chick has re, re, re, re-known so should have collected an extra PO-WEEEEEERRRRRR token. Humble Humble, noisy humble mumble. Did you get all that?

Also the train/car noises any time you move a game piece around a board. It doesn't matter if the game has any cars or trains, or even any game pieces. Make sure it screeches as it goes around those corners, though.

That sort of behaviour will not be tolerated at the Ticket to Ride World Championships 2015.

Nor would not wearing whites, too.

I like Grim...'s house rule that each monster in 'King of Tokyo' has to be announced in the X-Factor Voice.

Ahem, the 2015 have already taken place, and there was a victor!

Is that a Pandemic expansion?

Is that a Pandemic expansion?

Yeah, Pandemic On the Brink. Introduces the option of a fifth player, who plays against the team trying to spread a new more virulent disease with secret movements they track on a pad. Also introduces the more virulent disease and increased numbers of bad cards, petrie dishes for the disease cubes and some new roles and events.

Good lord, it doesn't need making harder!

is the name of my sex tape

Your sex tape is called ?
