cool
thx for the links guys
You know what? When I first heard about this game I scoffed at it.
I assumed it was another simplistic game on par with the post-movie Lord of the Rings games. Personally, I don’t have much interest in games that have rulebooks less then 10 pages long. Me I like my complexity. Well, this has a 32 page rulebook and the game looks challenge and complex and rich in detail.
Plus, it’s produced by the same game campany that created Twilight Imperium --which is one of the greatest board games ever.
So I will be buying myself a copy of Fantasy Flight’s BSG Board Game.
I just picked up my copy of the game from the local comic shop and I must say the game looks fantastic. I’m waiting for tomorrow night so my friends and I can try it out. Hopefully this one will get more use than my Game of Thrones game that I can’t convince my friends to play.
Just got done playing this for the first time. It was a blast. I still have some questions and am going to try to read up on some of the nuances, but my friends and I had a great time.
Have you played Risk 2210, TFG?
hang on to that baby. it’s gone out of print & they’re already asking outrageous sums of money on E-Bay for one.
It’s currently taking up space under my coffee table with no plans for it to go anywhere else. There’s simply not enough ASOIAF merchandise out there that’s easy to come by.
I got it for Christmas !!
Now, Thot, we’ve got a good reason for a New England Meet- 3 to 6 players !
Can’t wait to open up the game and get into it. First though, I have to assemble two 400+ piece Clone Wars Lego ships (Thanks a lot Uncle Ray!:eek:) 
I thot putting it together was half the fun! 
It is!..the first four times.
The only prob with a Lego toy is it don’t hold up so well to dropping, or touching, or strong breezes. Best to save the assembly instructions.
I believe that the development of the Lego over the years has led to two horrible, yet inevitable conclusions: (1) It is only a matter of time before “Lego Minutiae” hit the market, with even smaller pieces that slow-moving dad-fingers will never be able to grasp, let alone manipulate; and (2) the rise of the arch-villain “The Confounder”, who infiltrates family homes, stealing that little nibbly curved-edge bit that every single collectible unit needs, but no one ever seems to be able to find, and despite its tiny stature and seeming insignificance, is apparently the most physics-defying structural component that holds the whole gorram thing together. Yeah. He steals them. (He may be related to the Noid.)
My husband just gave this game to me for my birthday - can’t wait to try it! What did you think when you played it?
I’ve been thinking about this game. I don’t own it but I plan to. I’ve been thinking We gotta figure a way to play this online.
I’ve been thinking the very same thing, my friend! Mine is still sitting in the dining room, where I first opened it, waiting…waiting…
Ah! That’s right. I forgot that you have the game!
I’ve done this kind of thing before—run an online game. In fact it was with a game from the same company that makes that BSG game. 1st step would be scanning all the game materials and gameboards, and the cards into digital format. But we won’t like really (wink) do that (wink wink) cuz we know it’s copyrighted material (wink wink). But…we’ll figure it out.
Anyway, we should talk about it.
I would be up to playing that way. I was shopping for a gift for someone else and just had to get something for me too, so I picked up BSG for me. I haven’t played it yet, but maybe tonight.
I guess if I’m gonna think about running it online, I get buy myself the game too.
