Sorry...I just despise tic-tac-toe so much. Even the complexier version looks...too much like being bored in church.

Wow, this thread. Cort, I just picked up Tokaido. It is amazing. Really different from anything else I've played.

I have no interest in games but I'm really interested in travelling through Japan. Maybe if it's different from all the other games in the world I would like it?

But then you'd have to experience actual Go. In Wash Sq and Union Sq there are Go hustlers that pop up. They "teach" you how to play this extremely simple game and well you fill in the rest.

When I Went To Chicago that time I stayed with one of the creators of Cards Against Humanity. He lives with my old college friend.

I think my feelings are way too tender for that game.

That is a great game. I know a few people who have it but I don't own a copy. No point -- all the people I'd want to play with own a set.

It's pretty different...there's no die roll or other mechanic for determining how far you move on your turn. You just...look down the road and decide where you want your next stop to be.

It's satisfying to play even if you lose, because you can say, "well, he won the game, but I finished all three panoramas, and ate some sushi, so that's cool."

You might wanna de-tenderize those game feelings, 'Nev.

Being on a first-name basis with one of the CaH guys could have you swimming in ladynerd tail in certain circles.

THE GAME IS THAT GOOD.

the wife's business partner has the original set, played through several times, and three expansion decks, which she hadn't even opened. until a couple weeks ago. we left the original set in its box and shuffled the expansions together, so like all the cards were new to us. good lord that game is ridiculous awful hilarious fun.

Somebody brought Tokaido to my party on Saturday but it didn't make it to the table. I taught Paris Connection and learned Clubs and Legendary.

I have Palaces of Carrara, Trains, and Village Inn all on preorder but I was pretty late to the Carrara party so who knows when I'll actually see that order get filled. Both Thought Hammer and Cool Stuff had stopped taking pre-orders when I placed mine at B&B. Though I at least get in before it was announced as a SdJ nominee. Also, fuck Fred games for letting Fun Again buy every single copy of Taluva so they can sell it at full MSRP.

Some blank CAH cards I like:
Morgran Freeman and James Earl Jones having a tickle-fight
Screech from Saved by the Bell
erotic dentistry
a 5-gallon bucket of puss
Jerry's new girlfriend is obsessed with ______. Kramer opens a felafel cart.
______ a day keeps _______ away.
____. It's what's for dinner.


The only card I've ever seen make people say "Whoa. Maybe take that out of the game." is "the Virginia Tech massacre."
