You're playing a very different game than we do, which is mostly occupied with aggressively trying to steal each other's cities. Introduced my daughter to it though and she really likes it and managed to grasp the basic rules quicker than I thought. She's only 3 so she doesn't have the attention span to play a whole game but she's excited by the fact that she can play a grown up game. (Haven't started trying to steal her cities yet of course, I'm not a monster). Edited February 10, 2021 by Chest Rockwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted February 10, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) The basic city building is great fun for the young ’uns.  Can get nasty with stealing cities though!  Just won a copy of Dice hospital.  Buzzing!!! Not won anything for years!!! @Onyx2 did you get them from the Boardgame rental place you use?

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted February 11, 2021 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2021 No @Thunderplexborrowed from a friend. Where did you win your game from? Got a copy of My City on the way, and 7 Wonders Duel which might be the best two player game I've played in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll second the love for Pokémon Battle Academy. My little girl loves Pokémon and had been wanting to collect the cards for ages, but I didn't have the stomach to see her get ripped off on the Primary School Yard Pokémon black market, so I said no. Battle Academy lets her both have the cards and a new game so everyone wins. I'm restricting the extra purchases to theme decks though and we're still not trading. We got Zombie Kidz Evolution a few weeks ago and it might be the best value for money we've gotten out of a game. Out of the box it's a pretty basic co-op zone defence game. A lot of the fun comes from the legacy/ rewards system, which isn't hugely prevelant in kids/family games and goes a long way in terms of adding depth/content. There's also a sequel called Zombie Teens Evolution that we're flirting with if the little one has the patience to complete this campaign. It's hardly Gloomhaven, but it's probably as close as I'll get in my house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We put the Theme Hospital and Two Point Hospital soundtracks on in the background while we play because we're a cool pair of cucumbers.

Paid Members FLips Posted February 28, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 28, 2021 Has anyone here played the Resident Evil 2 board game? My wife loves Resident Evil and speedruns the 2 remake. It was £90 on release but has settled down to around £50 plus has a bunch of expansions. It’s her birthday soon but as much as she’d love the idea of it, I don’t want to buy it if it’s a dud.

I asked a guy I know who owns it.  He highly recommends it if you can get it for a good price.  He says that the game gets very tense just like the source material in places.  Set ups a bit of a chore, but the game itself plays very smoothly.

Merzbow Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Has anyone played World Wide Wrestling? It's a pen & paper RPG and I'm tempted to start up a game with my Discord group, the main DM is a little burnt out with big D&D and Warhammer 40K: Wrath & Glory campaigns he's put on so was thinking of stepping up.

I used to think having to rewind video tapes people returned was a pain in the arse. Imagine being the poor sod who has to count the jigsaw pieces?
