Someone that is not me should start one.

I tried roping some people in law school into a game. They were not amused.

It is the worst. The good news is you don't have to make friends and you do get to play a gane.

It's much harder. Almost all of the battles have unique wrinkles that make them challenging to figure out. These wrinkles run the gamut from difficult objectives to weird environmental effects. Enemy placement is much more considered and makes it difficult to assault enemies safely. And you cannot grind for XP unless…

Conquest is annoying and great. I couldn't imagine trying it with permadeth.

I had this exact experience with Dragon Age: Inquisition.

I'm have the first Solomon mission for Michael and the second Dave (?) Mission for Trevor and Franklin.

I went to my local game meet-up last night to play the new Star Wars Rebellion game and if you can ignore some caveats (you'll need a gaming partner willing to play long games) it is a phenomenal Star Wars board game that is dripping with theme.

That's awesome. Making friends as an adult is annoying.

I tried to get my SO to play the Game of Thrones 2e with me. It turns out that it's not fun to get destroyed because you've never played a card game before while your partner had years of high-school Magic CCG experience to fall back on.

I'm a sucker for an interesting theme too. Have you ever played Tales of Arabian Nights? Essentially, it's a chose your own adventure game with 2500 different encounters that you get to chose how to respond to. It's not very strategic but it's a pretty neat little experience.

The one that comes out today: https://www.fantasyflightga…

According to the Internet, it is the second best game of all-time.

I'm pretty excited. My copy of that new-fangled Star Wars Rebellion game is supposed to arrive today just in time for me to see if I can find someone to play against at my local game meetup.

Just don't do what I do and buy super complicated games that no one I know would be willing to play.

The Japanese method of gonzo game making.

No matter how long these games are your mom will only walk in when Cloud is doing squats for some scented, lacy panties.

This looks dumb.

I dunno I like the pick. It's absurdly popular with kid. It's already shown that it has staying power. And it's a super importanin the survival game genre.

In all seriousness, that is a pretty solid short list. And nothing jump out at me as either being out of place or being a glaring omission except maybe that Nurburgring. Gran Turismo might be a better option.
