I was gifted this and wouldn't mind selling it. Opened it up once, and I am pretty sure this isn't something I will be able to convince my friends to play.

If you still need it after NYE, drop me a note.

What's the game where you can be team blue against team red where the"good guys" have to success the mission, while the "mole" can either fail or success the mission? Then you have to accuse the "bad guys"? That game was awesome.

Resistance.

Got a couple games for the family at Christmas.

Smash Up is good fun. Straightforward. The kids get it. Lots of 'take that.' Maybe a bit long.

7 Wonders Duel managed to excede my modest expectations. It compresses the original game (that I'm only lukewarm about) into a tense and clever two-player experience. I could see it becoming a regular event with the wife.

I got the Firefly board game for Christmas from the wife and I've had a blast with it so far. I'm biding my time before jumping into all the x-paks, but I'm definitely getting Pirates and Bounty Hunters next. Question is, should I get Kalidasa or Blue Sun?

We play with blue son and pirates, I recommend both, amazing game. Was 7-0 up until recently at this game at my boardgame night. Didn't know they had a 3rd expansion.

Thanked for Smash Up. A fun game that can be different every time.

Recently got Specter Ops and it's a lot of fun. We have only played the three and four player variants, but essentially one person plays as an agent who is trying to complete 3/4 objectives and escape the building. The other players are hunters who have to track down and kill the intruder. It's like Battleship, but really interactive and can get pretty tense, especially towards the end of the game

Just picked up dead of winter, initial start up was a bit daunting but once we got the hang of it the game is incredibly fun.

I pretty spend all my time in the Fire and Ice rooms, but as we reach the rough part of the season I find myself exploring the off topic areas.

I had to do some searching, but I found the thread that represents my interests the best. I am very passionate about boardgames, I own close to 300 games and attend Gencon every year in Indianapolis, well except this year because of the weak Canadian dollar. I am an amateur game designer who was close to getting published, that was a great experience.

Games I would recommend

Mysterium: a cooperative mystery game about a ghost giving visions to investigators trying to solve the ghosts murder. It's a lighter game great for those who love theme and simple mechanics.

Bloodbowl Team Manager:
For those who like Smash Up, you might enjoy this one. Set in the Fantasy Football universe of Bloodbowl, 2-4 players can battle it out football style with mechanics similar to Smash Up.

My personal favorite

The Traders of Genoa( or just Genoa): This might be hard to find, I'm not quite sure. One of the few active negotiating games like Settlers and Sheriff of Nottingham. I feel Genoa is quite unique compared to most games nowadays.

It's nice to see so many knowledgeable Boardgame and Flames Fans

I'm a big fan of Blood Bowl Team Manager, but I have a hard time convincing non-blood bowl fans to try it.

[This post is terrible]

I can only get my football friends to play it. I try to pitch it as a Smash Up alternative

Has anyone tried Blood Rage? https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/170216/blood-rage

One of the top games of last year. It looks really good, but the $100 CDN price tag is scaring me off at the moment.

Yea, I've tried it. Really fun game that combines a lot of elements of Risk that I like, but also has various strategy elements that you don't often see in games (like being able to win the game by purposefully losing battles). I think I got it for less than $100 on Amazon, but that was a while back.

Follow it on Meeplemart.com it's out of stock at the moment, but it's usually 70$ Cdn and the shipping is always decent. Or if you could go to Metal Galaxy and special order it. The owner will special order games for 20% off, I'd call first though.

I have that game but have not played it yet. Maybe this weekend.

401games.ca and greatboardgames.ca are also great places to grab games at cheaper prices. Both of those sites have Blood Rage for $70. The only catch is that if you want free shipping you have to spend $150/$200 respectively to qualify. They're both Canadian stores though so even if you end up paying for shipping it's less than $10.

My friends and I have been trying out a lot of new games recently. Some of the ones I've really enjoyed are Legendary Marvel, Xia: Legends of a Drift System, Risk Legacy and Fury of Dracula. We've played Star Wars Imperial Assault a few times as well but I am honestly not a fan of the dungeon master style of board game.

The Pathfinder Card Game might get released on iOS this weekend, and it is getting a lot of hype.

Delayed to April 26th:
