I've been a registered user on BGG for over 4 years now, but up until 4 months ago I had no idea what a Math Trade was. Three Math Trades later and I am an addict.In Math trades people offer the games they want to trade and then say the games they want to swap for from those on offer. The organise...

The mission played was Break In, the first mission of the Last Stand campaign which can be found in Space Hulk Campaigns (or the old White Dwarfs if your collection goes back that far). The missions that make up a few of the campaigns col...

With bggcon about to start, I figure it's time for another GeekList game.This one is more challenging (maybe ... some of that last lot were pretty tough) but is another "chain game".Each new item posted should quote part of the rules to a game.The next item should show the game that the previous ite...

I recall Grognads being fairly grumpy and bitchy a few months ago about the GeekMod weirdness. What was it? He was carping about obviously useful images being repeatedly declined?Now I understand. My practice on BGG has never been to copiously upload image after image after image in order to get GG....

Hi, this is my first geeklist, and Im just hoping to add to the wisdom of BGG with a few of my own experiences with games that play much better with zero players.Feel free to add your own experiences, or people you have not played these games with and what they didnt think of those games....

Quick Comment: A neat mix of trick taking, area control, and intrigue. I enjoy the mix - but the best part is the secret player colors....

I've had the opportunity to play this game six times now, two of them solo "full" games, once with two players "full", and four times with >two players "short." This review will focus primarily on my experience with the short game, but will include some (possibly less valid) comments about the long...

(Sorry this turned out long!)I'll always finish the games I start (and help with the pick-up).I will not consistently take longer to decide my move than everyone else at the table. Better to make a suboptimal move and consider it a lesson learned than to hold everyone up. It's okay if occasionally I...

I very much enjoy playing RtfG, as an ex-CCG player there is a lot about this game which appeals. It has the elements and feel of a collectable card game without many of the drawbacks and costs that I associate with them. As such it's easily in my top played games right now, but I was getting a li...

I was hoping to just play as a human being, as in most of the games I'd played pre...

But you've also heard that there's only 25 different cards in the game, with multiple copies of each....
