Board games to the face.

So, time to review some board games because, I'm into board games at the moment and so by association of you reading the bullshit that spills out of my mouth like an unfertilized egg from a womb, you should be into board games as well. This is an interesting word play as it has been almost a month since I last updated, and so therefore the imagery of a female monthly cycle almost fits, aside from the fact that this blog won't have cramps, moan a lot or rip your face off at the slightest provocation (this is not to say it won't rip off your face for another reason though and if you like I can send someone over to your place to rip your face off, just write your request on a twenty dollar note and send it in to me)

So first up on the chopping block:

King of Tokyo

The basis of the game is you're a huge monster who is interested in being the best moster in Tokyo. It's a dice rolling game where you're trying to get the same sort of dice rolls to perform actions to either win by victory points (this is the long way) or by smashing your large phallus into another players monsters face (The more preferred way to win the game)

It's a simple game to pick up and play and one of the filler style games. Maybe the playability is a little lackluster but as a filler game it's good to take a break from some monster game like Game of Thrones or Runebound.

The Resistance Avalon

You lie. You lie through your teeth, throw false accusations across the table that said player just ate your pet parrot and is therefore someone not to trust. This is a game of logically thinking of who is on your side and who isn't.

This is almost a follow on from the game The Resistance, but with some added elements in it makes the game completely different. The basis is you are a group of people trying to overthrow the bad guys, a resistance as such (see how that worked? If you didn't, fuck you) The resistance are setting off on a series of missions and if you have suceeded at a good number of missions you will have overthrown the evil government and saved the populace who just dont care what the hell you're doing. The people that do care, is the evil government who have sent some infiltrators in your group who will try their best to sabotage your efforts. None of the "good guys" knows who these spies are. The lying starts.

I must admit, I really enjoy this game. It's a social style game and there is very much an element of subterfuge and interaction that is paramount to the play of this game, and I'm fucking awesome at that shit. I'm a little hesitant to teach my kids how to lie to my face...

Dungeon Petz

So, ever wanted to control gremlins and raise some monsters?

Strangely enough, me neither. However, someone wanted to. This is the Fantasy world version of My Little Pet shop. There was places you could sell your petz, or display them and you get points and so on.

It's a worker placement game where you place down your gremlins to go and do stuff. I'll be honest, although I played the game and did stuff I can't get past the point that it was only okay. It didn't grip my attention at all. Though the displays and sellers can change here and there, it's the same series of actions and motions every turn.

So, this will be another subject I'm going to touch on like a catholic Priest with his altar boy and if you didn't like that, you're obviously the boy.
