  • I’m sorry – I didn’t buy a guitar

    I have given in to the fascist hive mind and contributed to the Will Howells guitar meme:

    As it happens, I think fascist hive mind is indeed one of the alien races you can play in Cosmic Encounter. Available at all good game stores now!

    I’m sure “Cosmic Encounter” was a nightclub I went to once.

    I’m not sure I approve of your board game choice! This part of the Lib Dem hive mind would suggest Race For The Galaxy…

    Cosmic Encounter does seem to be a marmite game. I saw Race for the Galaxy in the shop the other day. Might give it a go at some point but we somehow managed to acquire a mound over the New Year period and now have to work through them (played Fury of Dracula on Thursday – great fun!).

    Race is a lot like Puerto Rico the card game. (But, unlike San Juan, it’s good). It is criticised for feeling like a solitaire experience, but it’s actually rather more intelligent than that.

    I’m otherwise out of touch with the latest German games. I hear Agricola is good.
