Similar in many ways to Pandemic, but I feel it ramps up in difficulty better and encourages more complex teamwork (and I prefer the scifi theme). :)Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07667591338699403955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806122476758519131.post-51849653367360366442017-05-24T19:09:57.502+01:002017-05-24T19:09:57.502+01:00I want to try Arkham Horror LCG too, but LOTR LCG ...I want to try Arkham Horror LCG too, but LOTR LCG is in our pile of unplayed games, so can't really justify it yet!Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17810640796250890382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806122476758519131.post-19876008816926856802017-05-24T17:56:05.278+01:002017-05-24T17:56:05.278+01:00That's a game we were really looking forward t...That's a game we were really looking forward to. When we finally played it it was a long bloated murder mystery with no real action until the last 20 minutes.<br />The people who owned the game freely admitted that it was the worst game of mansions of madness they had played by a large margin. While we obviously played a bad scenario, it hardly left us begging for more.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447679926644054101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806122476758519131.post-61886203642666218332017-05-24T13:00:36.850+01:002017-05-24T13:00:36.850+01:00Nice list you made there.

Burgle Bros seemed very interesting, Evading the guards was a good challenge, I think we ended up in a situation where we couldn't get the last person escape. I would like to try it again at some point.<br /><br />Sherlock was a incredibly good Sherlock game, it oozed detective theme and really made you feel like you were investigating a crime. I loved the idea of it. Unfortunately I didn't actually love the playing of it, I don't think I was enough of a Sherlock fan to get absorbed by the game, and Fiona definitely wasn't! If you can't find yourself getting absorbed into the narrative then you will probably find it quite boring, it's definitely a story driven game.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447679926644054101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806122476758519131.post-4160730893965372642017-05-24T12:47:25.738+01:002017-05-24T12:47:25.738+01:00Xcom can be downright brutal on the harder difficu...Xcom can be downright brutal on the harder difficulties, I truly recommend it for a tense, engaging game. But make sure your team know what they are doing because there is no time for indecision!<br /><br />We've backed the Gloomhaven 2nd edition kickstarter, looking forward to trying that in a few months!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447679926644054101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806122476758519131.post-23345611653272624092017-05-24T12:45:38.635+01:002017-05-24T12:45:38.635+01:00The first time I tried it was with the app. I didn...The first time I tried it was with the app. I didn't really end up knowing what was going on because the person teaching us offered to manage it for us!
