Quest4Nes | 376 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 About to go through second time playing fireball island. First time played the base game and it was alot of fun. Adding the hidden bees and last adventurer expansions. Getting used to to the game. Not quite ready for the chaos of additional board expansions just yet lol. Games a blast!

TDIRunner | 2,718 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 As a kid I used to love Weapons and Warriors. I think we had 3 different sets which I remember combining into one huge war. It was pretty awesome. I'm sure it would be difficult to setup today since all of the rubber bands have long since disintegrated. Finding new ones of the correct size is probably a chore. I'll have to check but I'm fairly certain I still have mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just buy an assorted rybber band bag at walmart. I know, but you still need to find the exact right size. It's important to get the right level of tension. If it's too loose, you might never trigger it even with a direct hit, or it's too tight it might trigger on its own just because you breathed on it wrong. I forgot to check if I still have mine. Need to do that this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arch_8ngel | 1,597 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Anyone see the current Kickstarter for Wolfenstein? I am tempted, because the miniatures look great (mecha-Hitler) AND it tickles the fantasy of every dungeon-crawl-lover...there is a tier that includes reconfigurable plastic 3D dungeon components that replace all printed card components in the game. I'm almost willing to pay the price of admission just to see a professional version of that concept in person to help me decide how much hobby effort I'm willing to commit to doing something similar on other games like Heroquest.

Tabonga | 2,312 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Here is a real odd piece of ephemera: It came in the first pressing of the vinyl lp of Country Joe and the Fish's "I*Feel*Like*I'm*Fixin'*to*Die". I have a mint one framed in a metallic blue frame. Edited April 22, 2020 by Tabonga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead123 | 675 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) Thread necro... I'm also into modern board/card games. I have a group of friends that gets together to play about once a week. Some of my favorites include Cosmic Encounter, Wiz-War, Twilight Imperium, Dune, Memoir '44, Chinatown, etc. I used to play a lot of CCG's back in the 90's and early 00's. Magic, the Decipher Star Wars CCG, Legend of the 5 Rings. I still like those kinds of games but thankfully I've found less expensive and obsessive ways to play that kind of thing. Games like Netrunner, Summoner Wars, Marvel Champions, etc. Edited May 16, 2021 by Webhead123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-type | 2,472 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I've gotten some cool games on Kickstarter: Trogdor (from the Homestar Runner cartoon) Canvas (art themed card drafting game, where you create artwork by layering elements on transparent plastic) Inhuman Conditions (like the Blade Runner humanity test) The Faceless (horror themed game where you position magnets around a board to influence a compass needle) Fireball Island (remake) They Live 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the movie, so I'm curious to know if the game is any good. I'm currently waiting on the Kickstarter of The Thing: The Board Game to arrive. Supposed to get here this winter, I think. In the meantime, I satisfy my John Carpenter itch with a homemade game based on the movie. It's pretty darn good.

Special glasses reveal hidden messages on the cards, characters, and board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a switch game called Distrust based on the movie- supposed to ship next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
