I played a couple of games with my friends they had already started Warhammer 40k before I met them. I wanted to get involved but I really was not interested in the gameplay after watching a few games.
I did play necromunda as the ratskin renegades which was along a similar theme where you could see the progression or ultimate demise of some of your gang members that had took a fatal wound from a power fist or a lasgun, to being blinded in one eye to lose an ability at shooting long range(ballistic skill in game). It was to some extent a role play game.
Recently I have borrowed many a game from a friend and have bought quite a few games...
Games I own Hannabi, Pandemic(Co-op), Breakaway Rider, Love Letter, Lancaster, Indigo, Backgammon, Bull in a china shop, Hive, Chess, Hansa Teutonica, Werewolf, Braggart, Scrabble, Dixit, 6 Nimnt! and Bang the dice game.
Newly bought and waiting for an outing Mage wars.
Games I do not own but enjoy Small World, Dune, Lost Cities(board game), Ticket to Ride, Transamerica Dominion and mascarade.
Borrowing Cosmic Encounter the games workshop edition I am currently borrowing will hopefully play next weekend.
I borrowed Agricola and read the rules played in solo and It is heavy(the box) and also to digest. knew I was going to struggle to get anyone else to play it.
I played game of thrones I had an okay experience a long political game it was the 2nd edition I believe. I prefer playing with the hidden cards where the game can end when someone gets a certain amount of tokens. I've seen a really bad game where someone who did not know the abilities of another house and suffered a significant loss in the 2nd turn and game up and the game was then broken. I understand playing for second or kingmaker(if you are out of the running to win but can still choose the winner) is no fun in a game but this is seriously bad either game design, steep learning curve or poor sportsmanship on leaving the game.
I am interested in co-op games Pathfinder is high on my list to try...
Any recommendations are welcome! If you want to know about any of the games I will gladly enlighten my experiences.
