Board Game Thread (the Octobering)
Played anything good recently?
I'm really excited to play Space Alert, which I bought for the most spurious reason ever ("to check my new credit card is working". It is.) It's a cooperative game which is sort of a simulation of a budget eastern European Star Trek episode where everything goes wrong at once and you need to fix it by firing weapons, fixing the shields etc etc.
The twist? It's played in real time, with a ten minute soundtrack as the ship's computer telling you about new threats and things. After your ten minutes, you go back and resolve your actions and see how horribly you died due to your own incompetence. Like watching a slow motion replay of yourself throwing up.
Awesome.
