GarandMarine:
The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen is by far the best and most sophisticated game ever.
Unplayable game, but amazing read:

"A Game of Wagers, Wine, and Competitive Lying

Players, preferably gentlemen from good families, challenge one another to recount, as outlandishly as possible, their many exploits, occasionally wagering against the narrator's ability to incorporate complicating circumstances into the tale.The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen contains a full set of rules, background, a revolutionary system of mechanics that does away with dice or cards and uses money and fine wine instead, two combat systems ('duelling' and 'duelling for cowards'), quick-start rules and a great many insults against the inhabitants of various nations, but principally the French. This game can be learned in under five minutes, requires no GM or preparation, and takes about an hour to play. You will require pencil, paper, imagination, a manservant, money, a selection of fine wines, noble blood, a sense of flamboyance, and at least one attractive member of the opposite sex (optional)."

Seriously, it's awesome:

"Make sure that each player has a purse of coins before them equal to the total number of players... If your company numbers less than five, then give each man five coins. If your company numbers more than twenty, then think not of playing the game: instead I advise you to pool your purses, hire some mercenaries and plan an invasion of Belgium"

Why I don't play Settlers of Catan:


--- Quote ---Friend 1 -  Hey, does anyone have some ore to trade?
Me - Yeah, I have some.
Friend 2 - Me too.
Friend 1 - Oh good, I'll just play this monopoly on ore then.
*screaming, gunfire, explosions*

Heh. I've done that a few times (and had it done to me a few times).  :evil:

GarandMarine:
So apparently my company is releasing a Firefly themed board game at GenCon this year, it's already sold $1 Million worth of product, so I think that's a sign that it's good.  :psyduck:

In nerd news for me holy shit:

I'm really interested in playing some board/tabletop/card games recently, especially D&D (which my friend is trying to get a group together for). I read an article on Penny Arcade Report about Mansions of Madness and for some reason another friend decided to buy it. It looks very cool, and we spent quite a while setting up, sorting out cards, putting pieces together, etc etc... I went out for a cigarette, and everything was packed away! Haven't yet had a chance to get together and play yet, still waiting for me to pack in my bar job, and read over the rules all together. (If anyone has played and can help me out, that'd be great :D)

Something else I got in to was Android: Netrunner, which is quite fun. Two player game, and it can last a couple of hours. I'm still in my early days of getting to grips with it, so I fall for some traps (damn Jinteki), but definitely recommended from me. :)
