Game and Watch Forever:
I got the latest Legendary: A Marvel Deckbuilding Game expansion today! It's themed around The Guardians of the Galaxy, of course. Thanos is available to fight, as are the infinity gems! Boyfriend and I played a game where the Kree Supreme Intelligence wants to collect the gems to form the Infinity Gauntlet. We lost. HARD. The worst part is that I can't even comprehend how the Supreme Intelligence will even use the damned thing! HE HAS NO HANDS!!!!

Does he just stick it on one of his "hairs" and call it a day? Augh.

Also, I got Love Letter and I was surprised by how well it played two player! Reading the rules and looking at the cards, you might be tempted to think it'll be over fast and feel kind of lame. The former is true, but the latter couldn't be farther from the truth. Definitely a fun game to either kick off a board game night or play in between games.

May, the last time I played monopoly or was of my city and it did make it more enjoyable. But this was over 15 years ago. M and I did just but a Legend of Zelda version, though. I say if you like the game, it won't hurt to buy it.

Also I second getting Dixit! That was that story telling game we played with Edith that had the pretty art. I've been meaning to pick it up for a while now.

Game and Watch Forever:
So a game I kickstarted came out not too long ago: Billionaire Banshee

It's quite an entertaining little party game. It has a deck of 'perk' cards and a deck of 'quirks.' By drawing a card from each, you get a potential life partner for yourself (assume you're single). You secretly vote whether you would date that person and everyone else guesses. Once everything is locked in, everyone reveals their guesses, makes justifications, and then the answer is revealed and points are given out for correct guesses.

The cards can be realistic ('owns a super yacht', 'is a compulsive liar'), fantasy ('teleports when eating vanilla pudding', 'is a kappa'), or sexy ('will act as your personal dom', 'has a foot fetish'), so the variety is amazing and can be customized based on the group playing. I do think the game was designed with the idea that a lot of the cards are more 'neutral' than anything, so some of the perks really could be negative things for some people and some of the quirks could be positive. You also may learn something about your friends! Highlights for me:

I got a combination of 'cleans for you' and 'asexual.' Which prompted a friend to practically throw her date card at me since she (apparently) wanted that combination for herself. Turns out she identifies as asexual, which I didn't know!

On one of said friend's turns she got the perfect combination of 'professional racecar driver'  and 'thinks they're a car.' We all had to take a time out to die laughing and speculate what this person must be like.

Another combination I got was 'has a pouch you can ride in' and 'has a foot fetish.' The perk card felt the need to specify that the pouch also had a fully-functional nipple... my reaction while reading that line gave everyone easy points, but we got a laugh out of it.

I'm seriously looking forward to playing with more people and seeing more of the cards and combos they can make.

For some reason that made me think of a game show I saw on TV once called "Baggage." It was a dating show where three players revealed "facts" about themselves and then another person had to decide which of them to date...

Kangaroo with a foot fetish? Sounds kinky.
