edonil Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Not played any of those, but the names sound intriguing. Forbidden Desert... is that the spin off of the Forbidden Island game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Last Night and Shadows I own they are both good games...... Yeah Forbidden Desert is a spin off from Island as far as I know..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Played Forbidden Island last month, it was pretty fun, actually. How different is the desert game, could you tell from the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Not actually played Island so couldn't tell you, but it is worth watching as it has Wash from Firefly as one of the players..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 LOL, fair enough! Reminds me of a video I saw from Gencon one year where they had a celebrity author game of DnD that they invited players into... it got pretty funny fast. Paladin trying to use diplomacy on undead...

edonil Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 I don't remember, sadly, lol. I'll have to see if I can find it because it really was entertaining... RA Salvatore was one of the authors, I do remember that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 At an hour long will have to save that for later What games did you end up playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Um, quite a few. Pickle in a Jar, which was a fun little word association game. The Big Bang Theory Party Game (or something like that) which was okay, but eh. It really needed more players to make it work, but at least it wasn't Monopoly. Um... after that, we played Dutch Blitz which is always fun, and then one game of High Command to wrap up the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Sounds like an interesting mix of games..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yeah, it generally is with that group. But still, always fun. Trying to figure out why I keep doing poorly with my Llael deck and being annoyed about it, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Sorry cant help you as I have never even played If you wanted help with a Star Wars CCG deck I could likely help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 lol. Part of the problem right now is that the Faith and Fortune factions aren't 'complete' just yet. So the Llael deck builds are a little less rounded than the Dwarf ones- Llael's warcasters really want Warriors, but the decks need the Warjacks right now to work. Dwarves aren't as split on the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Also- I'll admit to being a bit bitter at the fact that the Rhulfolk are getting both the Colossal and the Battle Engine for the decks, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 lol, compared to the Llaelese, yep. Still, it's going to be interesting seeing what happens. I know the upcoming expansion (Engines of Destruction) has Damiano and some Steelhead Halberdiers for the Llael sections of the faction, along with Rocinate. Granted, like I said- I wish Llael had more warriors, but still, there's probably three more expansions in the future. I can be patient, lol. I'm hoping to see a card pairing up Rutger Shaw and Taryn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustcrusher Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Elder Sign is fun. Get Age of War if you like the dice rolling mechanic in Elder Sign, want something faster and competitive. Wanna get Forbidden Desert (perhaps for the girlfriend). Forbidden Island is essentially Pandemic but replace the expanding diseases with disappearing bits of island. First time I played Shadows over Camelot, it left me with a bitter taste because all the traitors had to do was make slightly foolhardy choices while the rest of us continued to fail at pretty much everything. If the normal non-traitor play had been a little easier, it would've made more sense, but they could've literally passed each turn and we still would've failed by a large margin. Got my copy of Hordes High Command. I hope I can play it soon. Checked out a local place that's a video game pub for brunch. For a while, we were the only couple in there...and I was the only guy. Made me think about my life choices for a moment, if you catch my drift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 In all honesty Dust in all the games I have played of Shadows I dont think I have used the Traitor system once, the game is hard enough by itself I tend to find. I I want Co-op with traitors I prefer Battlestar Galactica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
