Pandemic is on my list to get after I satisfy my Munchkin craving. I would like to get TtR eventually, but and settling for the Xbox version for now. I don't know anything about Dominion, but I'd like to watch a game sometime soon. Not sure how to pull that off.
Ticket to Ride can be a lot of fun, especially if you play the Europe version. It ads to the game and makes it a little more complex than simple TtR. You can try out Dominion on dominion.isotropic.orgThis website features live play with a high degree of game customization and is perfect for getting the feel of the game before purchasing it. |

GenCon man. It's the only way to go.  |

Where do you live? Could be plenty of opportunities nearby for getting a game or to under your belt. |

There is a LGS that is supposed to have a board game night every Friday, but every time I've gone, either nobody showed up or they cancelled for one reason or another. Friday is also Magic night and they have a big crowd. Seems to me like a little restructuring is in order. |

Very cool. Thanks! Lost first game 83-18. I have no real idea what I'm doing... It can be brutal at times on isotropic. There are definitely people there who have thousands of plays under their belts and have analyzed it to death. You can play matches against specific opponents (i.e. your friends) on there as well. I'd be happy to play with you and walk you through some basic strategy some time if you'd like. |

Bought so many new games at Gen Con...wow...
The big ones were Ticket To Ride, and I got the wood box edition of Carcassonne the City for $25. I also won FRAG by Steve Jackson Games for $1...lol...
Picked up some other little odds and ends.
Dominion can be super fun. I just recently put all my cards into a card box to save space and I downloaded a random generator app to pick Kingdoms; that's how we'll probably play moving forward.

Cool. Have you been to GenCON before, or was this your first trip? Also, what app do you use for Dominion? Is it a PC app, or a smart phone app? |

Last Night saw a variety pack of games hit the table.
Played 2 games of Battle Line. This is a great two player game & it travels well too. Plays quick and is easy to learn.
Played a game of Oshi. It is an abstract strategy game. Had not played in years and now I remember why. The end game drags on a bit. It is now on my trade-away list.
Another great, quick, and simple two player game is Balloon Cup. I got schooled in a game of that last night.
Played a three player game of Venture (The old 3M version). Nice game with clever mechanics. Boy do I suck and seeing patterns and building corporations.
Ended the evening with a three player game of The Bridges of Shangri-La. It is a very clever game that is easily obtained on the cheap. Check it out.

Last Night:
Played Quarriors with 4 players last night. Interesting spin on the deck-building mechanic that uses dice instead of cards. Fun game. It you are a geek about custom dice, you should check this out.
We followed that up with a 4 players game of Fresco.

Quarriors is getting a lot of attention right now it seems. I've seen lots of ads on BGG.

Last Night: Played 3 games of Quarriors (2 player). It was fun and I am starting to see the expansion potential for this game. Dominion with dice. After that, we played a silly game of Micro Mutant: Evolution. I really must try this game with 4 players.  Three games of Hive were next. Great abstract game and I love the quality of the Bakelite edition components. We ended the night with a game of Battle Line. Classic. |

My daughter and son-in-law just got me Civilization the board game. It's awesome but took us about 6 hours over 3 days to get it set up and get the hang of it. We finished the game last weekend and can't wait to start another one this weekend!
Anyone else know it?

There are a few versions of Civilization, which one did you play?
