SeabassDebeste 02/14/20 11:30:57 AM #17:	Great_Paul posted... I've played Specter Ops twice and both plays didn't go so well. The first play was with a very negative group that were hating on it because they couldn't find me the entire game. The second play was a little better but it didn't really wow anybody. yeah, specter ops can produce real highs and lows in experience and that's part of the nature of the beast i think. a consistent specter ops experience is likely not to hit the same highs i felt that first time. NBIceman posted... From last topic... Without thinking about it too hard: Root, Inis, Heroes of Land Air and Sea, Twilight Imperium 4e, Kingsburg 2e, Feast for Odin, Eldritch Horror, Rum & Bones Second Tide, and Keyflower would join Scythe to make my likely top 10 in some order or another. Wingspan and Last Bastion are up around that level as well, but I haven't played them enough to make a final judgment on them. i've only played three of these, and only one of them enough to rank it. that one does rank highly though! and i'm interested in all of them, lol. KommunistKoala posted... played letters from whitechapel recently as my first hidden movement game and that was pretty fun (though I think I'd prefer Whitehall Mystery a little more after seeing that it exists) that's all i can say thats related to that game! interesting that it keeps going for a bit after you've been spotted but is there much room to escape once youve been found? unless you're like right next to the objective/exit/whatever it is i think specter ops is a bit more fun than LOW, though i've only played it once never played whitehall mystery. one of the neat things about specter ops is the "last seen" token. it is placed if you cross the line of sight of a hunter on your turn so it gives a clue as to where you headed, but theoretically you can blow by hunters with cards even after getting caught once. TomNook posted... Some of my favorite games haven't shown up yet. A lot of them are top ranked on BGG too, so there is a decent chance they'll show up here! there are a lot of games i haven't played, and the top is loaded with games that aren't bgg darlings. you might spot a few though! turbopuns3 posted... We have a board game night once a week and man I just love how many great board games exist. Some recent ones I've really enjoyed: Yellow and Yangtze Calimala Dice Forge Exceed (1v1 dueling card game) Anachrony covered dice forge (which i played again earlier this year) in the list. anachrony is really neat, only played it once but i liked the two tiers of WP and the theme is super-unique. Y&Y i haven't played but i recently (too recently for this list) got a bit into tigris and euphrates. very interesting game. Obellisk posted... Have you ever played Dark Tower? i haven't - don't often get around to games based on IPs (with a very notable exception!) --- yet all sailors of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness <cite>SeabassDebeste posted [p:934369394] in my top 32 ...
