It also has the best pieces of any board game ever, which helps.

Netrunner Club tonight! Hurrah! 2 kill decks for the corp side and a Criminal deck for the runner. Let's atomize some hackers! Let's steal some agendas!

Netrunner club tonight! I have refined my Corporation Strategy and have made a deck that is I AM A BANK AND I HATE MY CUSTOMERS where the primary aim is to demolish the home of the runner and surrounding area. Because subprime, right?

The Runner deck is largely unchanged as it didn't get a decent run out last time.

I now see "twilight struggle" regularly in mainstream store chains translated in Portuguese reasonably cheap (40€). It's worth it? The game always seemed boring to me, but now that i took more time to read about it properly, it actually sounds interesting.

Netrunner night tonight! I am taking my Furious Bank run by Lizzy M which hates You, the customer, and wants to burn your flat down. And those around it. Because foreclosure is a dirty word. It is fuelled by Hedge funds, Restructures and a surprise wolf.


Runnerwise, I am taking Jezzy S in a new deck of hope, dreams and failure. This will hit Where The Plans Are a lot and hopefully work.

I need MOAR CARDS to get Furious Bank to work though, and EVEN MOAR to get a jesminder running nicely.

The Angry Bank was a Winner! Closed out 7 points with a decent scoring remote. Nobody died.

Jezzy S did not do so well. Having a think about her....

I would love to play it but it looks like a long game. What i have read says it is well worth it.

I have made Angry Bank even MORE FURIOUS by adding EVIL SPIRITS and HOUSEKEEPING which makes the runner discard a card everytime they play one.

JezzyS has had some refinements to supply her with more money to use each turn using what I like to call The Gaywood Gambit.

We shall see tonight! Hopefully.

Well, that was a disaster.

We're all big fans of the 'Ticket to Ride' series. The rules are pretty easy to explain but there's plenty of strategic choices to keep people interested. Start with the original USA set or the Europe one.

Ok will give that a try, will take a lot of stick from family on this one as I spend all my spare time playing with a big Thomas train set with my son, so my family are all taking the piss and sent me Thomas birthday cards this year!

'a long wet afternoon when nobody's in the mood for anything else.

'Le Harve'?!

I have mostly been playing Tumblin' Monkeys with my wife and daughter. It's like a better version of Kerplunk.

i wouldn't recommend it unless you have a small child.

I came up with rules for "Drinking HeroQuest" - basically you have a shot in front of you for each body point, and if you lose one (or more) you drink a (or more) shot. The potion of healing would literally be a bottle of alcohol, so you can refill your glasses.

I'm struggling to come up with a rule for the Evil Wizard player, though. "Each monster killed" is far too many.

Are you playing the UK or USA HeroQuest? What house rules do you have?

Can it be something along the lines of:
1) Turn glass right way up.
2) Refill glass if right way up, otherwise 1.
3) Down glass and place upside-down if full, otherwise 2.

That way it's still taking a shot, but cuts down the amount by a third, with an easy to remember mechanism. Obviously adjust for the actual kill rates as I have no idea.

I've never heard of anyone changing the searching rule before, that's a new one. Don't forget that you don't put "good" treasure back in the deck!

We normally have "creatures/heroes can push through doorways"

"only rooms can be searched for treasure, and only once*"

"when the wizard uses all of a spell set he gets them back".

Lots of people get rid of the dice rolling when moving, too.

This stops people from standing in a door way and having the monsters come to them one at a time, right?

Yeah, basically the Barbarian stands in the doorway and hacks away at anything that comes close.

Fucking Ian.
