You can play with 1 marine out of the box using provided squad cards. The single marine gets 2 initiative cards and two actions per initiative card instead of one action, and one initiative card per marine per round. Unfortunately balance with anything other than 4 marines is suspect. I think boardgamegeek has some…

A large portion of the 84 Olympic’s windfall came from LA selling the TV rights. I’m pretty sure host cities no longer get that money.

And that was the day Curryrider found out he was mildlly red-green color blind. Welcome!

I want this on a poster stat!

We got these for the same price at Best Buy on clearance a couple months ago. They sound amazing but are ugly as sin and bulky. The corners also get dinged up with only the slightest bump.

Heck yeah, 6 tickets purchased!

72 tamales for $92 is actually a fair deal - Angelino and tamale lover.

I think most experienced gamers would be better off with Cosmic Encounter which has an insane number of expansion aliens.

Amazing article and well written - thanks! It’s a nice reminder that the echo chamber of online forums and media coverage isn’t necessarily reflective of the average gamer.

Lancaster has a brewery? They’re really coming up in the world!

It’s amazing that as quick as things are moving in the board game world there hasn’t been a true successor to this game yet. I think only Dead of Winter comes close for us. Everything I know about the show comes from this game. Someday I’ll make the time...

Googled, didn’t understand. What is a lag frame?

Looks like the list of a 28 year old white middle class film school graduate.

Thanks for this wonderful article.

This is one of my all-time favorite games. We always play a game on New Year’s Eve and try to stop the Ancient One from waking up, and saving the world for the new year. Except we always end up with 8 player tables and lose... Sorry world!

To add: Had a friend who wore a Seahawks jersey to the game harrassed to the point she felt like she was in danger.

Agreed, but to palmofnapalms point, she certainly has a knack for seamlessly calling out the “other” (you/your, they/them) for the purpose of generating fear or hate against what is pretty clearly implied to be minorities without ever being explicit about it, and thereby avoiding the racist charge.

Oh jesus god. I was wondering when she’d finally make an appearance outside family member’s likes on the facebook feed. I’ve been dreading the second coming of Ann Coulter for a while.

We’re at the finale of our Hoth campaign and can’t wait to jump into Bespin. The tiles are very different from every other FFG skirmish game and really do evoke the Cloud City setting.

The HD scenery and stellar commentary together elevate the tour to must-watch status in my house.
