The Quest for Eldorado

An interesting tile based game with deck building mechanics that is variable by the desire of the players. The setup for the maps have either a predetermined combination suggested by the creators according to desired difficulty or may be constructed according to the whims of the players. Each player is an explorer trying to get to the goal of El Dorado through a jungle using cards in their basic hand. Through the game players can purchase cards added to their deck in order to overcome the difficult terrain as fast as possible. There is some risk evaluation as to what cards will be drawn in comparison to the terrain ahead. Overall its a good game

Poo

Oh Poo! A glorious game where all the players are monkeys in the same primate pavillion where there seems to be something not quite right with the monkey chow that night. Well, what’s a monkey to do, when one’s guts get to rumbling, but the inevitable of throwing poo!

Great times are had with the feces flinging fun as you can proceed with all the shit talk you you normally hold back from polite company. Its really a cathartic experience akin to an intellectual enema sure to clear your mind of unwanted accumulation of negative thoughts/feelings.

Its simple as you and your opponents try and land the most monkey muck on each other to 15 points of poo. At that point a player is eliminated, though there are rules for the special “Golden Banana” that can revive eliminated players back to half poo. As most people/monkeys, outside of niche subsets of select groups of individuals, don’t like getting covered in poo there are cards to dodge/clean/cordially manuever other players into the flight path of incoming excrement to avoid being hit.

It is a great game to have introduced to coworkers in the past during slow points during a shift and introduce the phrase “Take it like a monkey!!!”.

Nuts

This is a game best played in comfort as the whole premise is snatching the nuts of others and protecting your own from their greedy paws. You and all other players are squirrels. This is a sad fact of life for you. The game only gets worse as, just as in regular human life, the one who has the greatest nuts is the winner. It cannot be helped as it is the cruelty of the natural world. Numerous wildlife documentaries narrated by David Attenborough tell us so. The greatest values are placed on Pecan pie with the infamous Nut log below that. The nut log has nothing to do with the afore mentioned game “Poo” but one does wonder since both games came from the same designers initially. I can’t say anything else really about Nuts as I haven’t played for a very long time.

Pro mantic bias? What? If so, so what! You enjoy what you enjoy.

I am a rep for Mantic but only because I like what they do, also the minis they have done lately are truly superb.

Chainsaw warrior eh? Old school! 10 Dubloons. You very well could make it yourself…

I could, I have the Here’s Negan tiles too. I thought it could be more Space Marine than chainsaw Warrior, with different starting profiles based on chapter. Then do an expansion or sequel called Chaos Space Marine.

Me too! I want a Legend of Zelda one. Expand on the type of Talisman? The new one or the ones licensed out to to USAopoly? Havent been following hellboy much, tell us more.

I’ve played various iterations of Talisman all the way back to the original. Still love it.

Hellboy is a Mantic release coming April I think. As far as I can tell there are story mode elements to it and frog men. Mantic did an unboxing that is worth checking out.

Which guides?

One was the painting guy from Long War. The other I’ve forgotten but good tips are good tips.

Define event, and what do you mean by Pathfinder? Is it like a rep thing for a game or is it more the actual RPG of the same name?

I spent today demoing Mantic Walking Dead game to all of two people. Good fun though.

Titcanicus looks tasty but the only thing I have any interest in with Mantic is Dreadball. 10 Dubloons. Tell us more about your plans for Titanicus.

My plan for Titanicus is to avoid it with everything I have. You know, like I did with Kill Team.

I’m sorry if my replies never seem full enough but I do 100% of it on my phone.

@sundancer nope, not gonna click on those links… Ren & Stimpy is best left in the mid-90s where it can’t traumatise me anymore 😛

@mage you powered through titans in short order, glad to hear it as good. I’ll add it to my queue (although it’s currently along queue, not getting much time to watch TV presently so things are starting to back up as far as series throughput is concerned – still, nice problem to have 🙂 ) Nice progress on the dwarves and objective markers 🙂

@blinky465 would love to be able to add lights and small motors (even water pumps…) to scenery pieces but my soldering is terrible so I’ll just watch your progress and get a sense of vicarious accomplishment if that’s OK with you? 🙂 Congrats on getting the painting handle prototype finished – a great initiative there BTW 🙂

@woldenspoons yesh don’t stress – mantic are really stating to hit their stride I think (I NEED multiples of that goblin puppy launcher on release… and the new glider is pretty sweet too…). You reply on your phone? Wow, Hat tip to you. if I have to use the phone for more than 4 words I pretty much give up and wait until I’m near a PC…

@horati0nosebl0wer Having a plan really helps output re painting minis. My issue is that if I plan too far in advance (more than a few months) I find my priorities shift and I always feel bad abandoning the original plan without completing it (Yeah, I’m sort of Type A about that stuff… 😛 )

Spent the morning mucking about with my printer, and then after a late start got a bit of progress done on my Chaos Warriors. Going to get back to it and see if I can improve the red washes on the armour for the Khorne warriors and knights…

Ugh – ignore the video – these are the buildings…

@horati0nosebl0wer that HLAH cover takes me back to the in-game WAD file midi tracks when we would play head to head Doom 2 until all hours of the morning back in ’95 – good times (and probably the reason my fingers don’t work so good now… Ah well, only missed the rise of professional gaming by a couple of decades I guess…).
