Also, I won the game. But barely. And I think Daniel said something like 21 crew members were killed in the process, lol.

As long as you're conscience is good with 21 deaths, though, Daisy...

I have BSG but haven't had a chance to play it yet. I'd love to have Firefly as well. Realistically, I need the right crew to play it with.

So, come visit

In my defense, they weren't all my crew that died, so they aren't all on my conscience. Also, BSG is an amazing game, that we now own but it is a total bitch to learn. No lie. The rules are so complicated that I gave up and we have yet to play our copy. We played it once with friends who have it, and that was why we bought it. It is incredibly fun, if you can sort out the rules.

Firefly actually is playable with any number of people, including solo. But it is seriously fun. I believe that we played it when birdwithteeth came to visit and he has since purchased it himself. We are a bad influence.

Finally, once we get Alex through this program and into a job, we're totally there!

DFaraday came over the other day and we played an epic game of Firefly.

Dfaraday came over and the three of us broke open T.I.M.E. Stories. It was the most fun I've had losing a cooperative game in quite a while, lol. There was moonwalking involved, that's all I will say to avoiding d spoilers.

I only saw that one for the first time last weekend. I forgot, we also have Märklen. We haven't played that one as much, not sure why. What do you prefer about the UK/Pennsylvania version?

I'm jealous, haven't played Legacy yet. Too many board games I want!!

Oh TTR is one of my favorites as well! We have USA, Europe, Scandinavia, and Africa plus one of the expansions.

I prefer Smallworld to Risk. Not nearly such a time investment and less of the tedious losing, lol. We've got the original, a few of the expansions and the Underworld (or is it Underground?) one as well. I'd like to get the expansion that allows you to play across both boards.

Has anyone played Battlestar Galactica? A-maz-ing! It's very similar to mafia,so much fun and so much strategy.

We love Coup and Pandemic!

Alex really wants Powergrid, but it's expensive so we haven't purchased it yet.

Mottainai is a ton of fun, but the first one or two times playing is difficult, I think because the terminology in the directions are a bit unclear. But it is definitely a good strategy game without requiring a heavy time investment. Once you get a handle on the game it most likely lasts about half an hour.

I am really interested in getting Time Stories, has anyone here played it?
