Hello! I want to talk to you about a board game: Through the Ages - A
New Story of Civilitation.

<snip snap>

Thanks for that! I play several hobby board games, but never tried this
one...

Don't forget to try it!

Actually I had a game on Sunday and it didn't end very well. Whatever you do, try to ensure you don't play with cheating bastards.

That's a standing rule. I also don't play with people that don't want to
have fun. :-)

Easier said than done for some people.

I think it is a common problem in some groups that a member will bring his girlfriend or whoever to the game session, and the newcomer will screw the flow or ruin the game otherwise, and there is not much you can do without getting the member angry.

Couple of things - first, yeah, that's a hard one sometimes. :-( We are planning a 'game night' at church and I'm hoping it doesn't turn into
a mess. LOL - I know some of them like Rook, so I'm bringing a couple of
decks, but I'm also bringing Ticket to Ride, Betrayal at House on the Hill,
and (one of my favorites) Codenames! Wish me luck! :-)

Second - since I last posted on here, I've been doing more and more coding
for Divine Right on VASSAL... Man, that's a rabbit hole for sure!

Ticket to Ride is a good one for starters. People picks it up quite fast, and usually don't get angry at backstabbings :-)

Agreed! Played Sagrada two nights ago for the first time. Was fun, but
only two of us... Last night TSURO - again, was super fun (more than
Sagrada, IMO) but only 2 of us... Wouldn't mind picking that up to keep
and/or bring to church game night!
