Cost To Strighten My Nose

No friends, no games!

Fr sans Amis There are laws that would transgress from time to time and it is one of them for me. As you can report speedily watching when the last post, it is 2 months since I posted anything. And why? For as the law says that invented for the occasion: "No friends, no games!". I am currently in a slump of my work fun and I'll try to explain here why. This is not necessarily very structured, please accept my apology now ...

First, we must know that my knowledge of the play now: Jeanjean, Erwan and not necessarily inhabit Thibault close to home as you can see on the next card. This is due to removal and accommodation of many of us and unfortunately we can not do much about. As most would say cons (old), that's life! Brief comment in passing: The idiot at the bottom is me.



Can we say that a relationship is more fun to be a loving relationship and the distance we necessarily pushes us away. I do not know. I always see them but more for our afternoon games: this is now the evening with friends at lunch break through moments of jouyage guitar. It shame because the game was really the way we meet all together and well messing around for hours. Do I sound like a woman? Yes!

In addition to the distance, we feel that it's different: John Steevy not talk to because he has not digested the fact that he has cheated with Gwen. Yet nothing she could do better. What would you do that for him? It was here or graft a third nipple. Fortunately it still does not know that John is her brother germain ... Hopefully Steevy not say anything because it will affect our more afternoon games. All that

to say that there is something else. Time! But yes, it's here! We have more time. The excuse of time! It is the sort regularly and I admit that now control a lot. We would all agree that when you want, we can! We always have a max of excuses: the girlfriend (wife to some of you), travel, fatigue, stress, family meals, bonds incongruous, etc.. Why?

Is this the vintage game from 2008 that has overdosed? It is true that after the show Essen 08 , it has taken some time to unwind and to enjoy playing again. We purchased a reasonable but certainly not negligible amount of games and I could not play any of them. Yes, yes, I said no. The Loose ...

You wonder then what I gland when I do not play. This is not your onions! Doin what I want.

PS: This article is only meant to let off steam and be able to read it in a few years and smile.

PPS: That does not mean I stop P & J. I will continue to comment on the news of the fun time when I will not have sudden attacks stomach.

Preparation H Waist Wrap

Essen 08 - Natasha, I love you! P & J recommends

Logo Spiele Messe Essen 2008 is a veritable tidal wave of news to which we are entitled with this post-Essen. It must then be patient to find out what actually has more (and therefore what we may have missed) and what a disappointment! Through this account of our stay, I talk about my feelings for this edition of the show and discuss some points which surprised me as the price of some games. This article therefore aims to put in writing the questions that crossed my mind during those epic days.

Firstly, just to put you in the context, know that I left with my knowledge of the play now: Jeanjean, Erwan and Thibault. The day before departure, I must confess that my internal sphincter and outside were well dilated by the excitement of the preparations: soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, and of course guide out generously offered by the fever of the game we found ourselves with some difficulty at the station North of Paris with the sole baggage "useful" a sports bag dedicated to games (special casse'dédi Erwan Decathlon for a bag), then about 5 hours later, we arrived at the friendly hostel Kolpinghaus Essen Frohnhausen . Although

slashed from the journey, we are a part of Race For The Galaxy : Storm in Training then go to bed. I do not know about you but I do not think the extension makes that much in renewal. The mini-goals (primary and secondary) are more like patches glued to the hard than a true reflection of the author. In contrast, the new cards seem to allow New strategies even if the chance did not want that night that we start with one new planet. I return to this extension in a future article.
  • nice little trick: the extension box can now store all the game cards in one box that does not 15 kilometers wide.
  • Hint more fun: you buy deckbox is much more practical to carry.
starts Wednesday on a flying since we need not less than 1:15 to walk to the lounge since our hostel. And then, the Walhalla before us: a huge hall filled with boxes of games, publishers and players! The hardest thing is to not buy from entering the living room because it is true that the price level, we see it all! My boyfriend Thibault for example, had reserved the game Ghost Stories to Rest Prod allowing for 34.9 € and have the famous goodies promised. Here where the low is that the same game is sold € 24.9 20 meters. So why, you ask? I have no answer! I do not understand people who literally robbed the stand of the 750 boxes Prod rest of the game Do you have a rational explanation to offer me? This example is valid for Ghost Stories but other new games were available cheaper in other pits as Giants , Hurry Cup ', etc.. If someone can explain this striking difference in price, I'm interested! It should be noted that the version of Ghost Stories is multilingual, there is no reason to favor a national version.

During the show, we had the joy and honor that I say lucky to cross Mr. Phal ( TricTrac.net manager) for the first time. You can not even imagine how awesome it is to type the discussion with a stranger and blagouiller with him! If all the people (in real life) were also spontaneous and fun than him, I think that many wars have been avoided. The general consensus of those present, this guy is simply awesome! This is not the only course! Antoine Bauza, rest his soul, was proved to be particularly friendly.

Oh yes, too! Mr. Phal told us about the classification FairPlay. I confess I had not paid attention to a multitude of articles on the net arose to decry the rankings. Who personally, this classification does not reflect what I enjoy and discover the show. To me, to make sure what visitors have a good time, a team of 5-6 people should furrow all halls throughout the show and list the favorites every day and not just receive their ballots in the polls. What do you think? Is it so unrealistic ?

FairPlay Speaking of rankings, I see that the game Machu Picchu is placed second. Well, I can tell you that after having tested later in the evening with a beta tester ( Lars memory) in our hostel (yes, yes, it was the beautiful world), and bah, is not the game most sex in the world. I think I will remember much longer Lars imitating the doll box set (see cover above cons).

Anyway, this year I have been quite reasonable and only came back with 10 games unlike others I did not mention . The most important being in my SATOR , Garibaldi (with reviews Gorthyn ) Gambit 7 and Red November for lighter. I will return all these games soon.

For those who were there, you saw the tail of egg 'to Le Havre ? Nan but must be really dumb to run a game that does not know anything except that its author was a hit with unprecedented Agricola ! And the traitors from Lookout Games have deliberately chosen a hall too small to create a mass effect ... When I think that part of Hall 9 was part of my favorite, I must say that we did not like necessarily the way with all these stupid people waiting their box from Le Havre.

And by the way! You noticed that the richest publishers have super pretty girls to test the games. There was of course the mega booth Pokemon, empty ... and especially the Days of Wonder booth (which means) where we could see The Sexiest Girl ever seen , I named Natasha . Wow! Super nice, trying desperately to translate the German Gambit 7 questions in English. Besides, I did a "All Pile" for the number of schools Art in Germany. You did not know there were 24 huh, I bet. Bah I do.

Like all players, an intensive jouyage purchased games will now begin to test all these new games. I'll tell you more certainly in the weeks to come.

No Sound From Speakers Denon Avr 1508

Feint The Bear

Logo pour la feinte de l'ours It's rare but I'll do it! It is also my first time but I will! I must throw myself go oup the boom, here I am naked before you ... yes! I'll write a ticket holder to the Association "Clair de Lude" that has touched my heart on a Sunday afternoon games through his coffee: The Fake Bear .
How? What? Who? Where? Wondering!? Little background on this adventure ephemeral ...


There are now over a month, I read about a Tric Trac news dealing with a new store opening on Nancy and I talked to my Aunt Nancy so she went to inquire. So far, nothing abnormal. And this is the last weekend that Jessica (a friend of passage in my life) and myself decided to visit my dear aunt. Once, around the Place Stanislas made a small trip tchoutchou in "old town" (yes, yes, a Parisian would say: "Old city "but nevermind), I propose to Jess to go test a new" boutique ".

Aunt deposited us in front of speed Fake Bear and then we return. Immediately, a young man who must be my age (mean by that it must be between 23 and 27) rushes up to us and explains how the coffee: By paying an annual fee of 7 €, I have access to all games of coffee and I enjoy any a unique invitation. Neither one, nor two, I pay my dues, and we settle on a small table. We play Cariboo , Balloon Cup, Mini Passe Trappe and En Garde . Jess does knowing Not all these games, the managers of coffee took turns to explain the rules. Digress on this point: these guys have a knack for explaining the rules as Jess's cock all at once and I can tell you that this is exceptional. No, Jess has 8 years but not 26 ...


We really had a great time and I would strongly advise Nancy players who have not yet made the leap to go and take a look because they will not be disappointed: the atmosphere is friendly premises Nikel, the fun team and there is even a booth chti drink to the thirsty people. Finally, I want to welcome the initiative of two creators of coffee. Combine their two toy libraries, open a cafe games through their association, pay rent, have a life aside, many things we can appreciate as a player:)

Cerec Blog Buying Used

Thurs 2008 A world of sad

Festival du Jeu Vidéo + Monde du Jeu Proud my ticket to the game world in 2008 that I won Gorthyn contest, I asked my knowledge they would play off for a day of madness in this show promised to be Pre-Essen. I must tell you now: I was particularly disappointed by the lack of available and new publishers present. However, it allowed me to play Corunea, the card game for gamers and just for that, I do not regret it!

For the record, know that all the little band of players that we are (ie 4) would end up before the doors of the Show on Sunday. It turned out that our friend had simply forgotten Jeanjean and the other head of cul de Erwan took a memorable cooked the day before, making it unavailable. Where do the math, there are only Thibault and me: 2 gays!
arrived shortly before 10:00, we are waiting patiently for the show opening. It should be noted that the World Fair Game (dedicated card games, board and role) spend time with this year's Festival du Jeu Video (dedicated to the game). At this point, I do not know if you noticed but it's pretty easy to caricature djeunz the 2 rooms:
  • As for video games, there is the "commuter djeunz" aged 16 years and a half that says " ouaich "and is accompanied by these friends. Personally, it scares me.
  • the other hand, the djeunz said "no friends" 31 year old who says "hiccup" and sometimes "errrkk" to speak. It is usually single and small office at first, however, in view of knowledge game, he does not hesitate to show jovial.
Bobby-Sitter Ding! Dong! The time has come to open and we enter the cave of the game with some apprehension. The first game that we test is Bobby Sitter, a play by Jean-Marc Courtil beautifully illustrated by David Revoy. Thibault and I was pleasantly surprised that we won this game buying simple, fast and very fun. The game principle is con: In turn, draw a card and depending on what you see on this one, we hurry to take the pins available on the table. It's fun, it does not take place, we took the game to find as Quickly sheep on the cards before your opponent and you can even bluff.

Well this is not all that, but it is only 8 minutes that we're here and we've already bought a game without even go around the room. 3 minutes later, done! It is relatively small, dark and has a space conference, despite its subjective, antagonizes all stands in close proximity on the vocal power emitted. Nay, and continue fouinons! The tenants of

stand Hazgaard we kindly open their arms and invite us to be part of Draco Mundis : the next game creator Dungeon Twister Christophe Boelinger. Not unlike the mechanism of its previous game, Draco Mundis innovates and takes us into the exploration of civilizations in the jungles of time Indiana Jones. I will not give you insult you by explaining the rules as they are very well explained on the site of the Little People . However, you will not escape my immediate impressions: For those who love the side "Failed" you should love! In this game, no element of chance, a good part of "Memory" from the hidden location of all our parts and a good headache every time. The illustrations are superb and allow to forward this abstract game that could have passed unnoticed if it did not benefit from this extraordinary work as an illustrator. It is thanks to the various previews that I am interested in this game, like what! For those who do not know yet, Draco Mundis will not be available at the Essen 08 but just after.

Ushin, Sarkan Elementalist Thibault and I continue our little journey in the world of the game and fall on the stand designers Corunea . We decide to let us explain the mechanisms of this card game, unorthodox, in part through a 1 against 1. In short, we embody a character from the universe Corunea, equip it with weapons, spells, special abilities, equipment and then decide what climate via auction will be preferred, which begins with the initiative and finally we fightons. After our first part, we realize that this game is very, very rich, so rich that we feel rich and wealthy as we are, we buy each a "Starter Pack" and 5 boosters. In the afternoon we go on a party in 2 cons 2 in which we are literally beamed against my little brother and knowledge which we call Ben. One possible explanation: we are bad. Unfortunately, this is not the case if you have the opportunity to test Corunea, you will see that despite the best intentions, when we have no luck at dice, it is very difficult to resist the onslaught long repetitive of his opponents.
That does not stop me from reading and rereading the rules this week and do some duels Corunea. I will return in time for this game when I'm more comfortable.

Finally, we have not really hung World Game but the 3 games mentioned above allowed us to go home happy and dream about the next big show: Essen 08. That is less than three weeks and this time, we all leave for the 4 the first 3 days.

Rhythm and Pacemakers - How to boost?

Logo de Ryhtme and Boulet I received a gift Rythme and Boulet from Thibault and Ligia late July and I must say that I love this game range Cocktail Games. Clearly this is not THE game of the year, however, it allowed me to see my dad banging her head with her hands not knowing what to do and just to here it's worth . I would like addressed by the few modifications you can make in order to energize and to find the joys of the first parts.

I discovered this game for the first time at GenCon 08 with his author and Gabriel Ecoutin Pascaline, now recognized for its ability to imitate Maite . Thibault and I were packed from the first part: the game is fun, simple to explain and allows players to play as non-players. And today, with the slow and gradual extinction of the players of games, it makes the game ryhtme Boulet and more attractive. You'll find comments on TricTrac clear that dismantle the game because they think it is a pale copy of a game like "caps". I found for myself that it is not doing justice to the work of illustrating Olivier Fagnère The characters are colorful, crazy and funny!

What we can blame the game, it's life that may become invalid if you play regularly with the same people. And for that, I suggest you follow these tips after a bitter ten parts:
  • The rhythm is dictated by the meatballs. Thus, it is "hot potato", it will type in his hands and his legs so fast that it will lose itself. It will be the only one laughing at having been lost! Dedicated to special-case Jeanjean!
  • Remove the rule that necessarily requires us to call someone else. It's much more fun when you and remember that everyone wondered who owns that sign and remember that behind someone else. Imparrable! To complicate
  • a little while, play with the expert rule and give you the name of your partner left. Thus, instead of responding to Fr (my name) I answered that Erwan example.
I challenge the author of the game itself (I'm crazy I know) to play a game of rhythm and Boulet by combining these three variants and send me a video of the feat! I doubt he has not got all day but I like to challenge myself in life.


PS: I won a place in the World Game by Gorthyn . Chui too happy!

Where To Buy Wilson Evolution

JeuxPro - Stop the killing! Screened

Jeux Pro is not true! Games Pro is really a reference work of the gaming market? If so, it really has to worry about. As recently subscriber, I receive the magazine each month and I must say I am extremely disappointed by the content. Not having the first decline in readers, I can not tell you if the magazine has evolved fine but what is certain is that the end result is clearly not live up to what one might expect from a "professional reference" in 2008 ...

Some time ago, I was looking for figures on the gaming market and more specifically to games. So I headed initially to my friend Google and I was a little disappointed as you can see by clicking the link above. Geek requires, I turned to backgammon, a forum and community. I then found an issue that dealt with the gaming market: here. I was advising a magazine called Games Pro. Come on, I'm rich, I'm mad! Abonnons us:)

I receive my first issue shortly after and the first reading, I realize that there are very few concrete figures. Non moo I said! Reread it, this can only be a bad impression. I then reread the beginning to the end with small lines of footnotes you never read to see if I missed anything. And no, not yet, does not catch me!
I take my pain and patience in waiting so patiently for my next issue. I waited until now to express my frustration and I can not go there. It must come out! But no matter how:
  • It is 2008 and the Internet is present. Should we in these cases offer a print magazine and not get into a website that is more responsive and easier to access. This will avoid reading and rereading the same news published for some there is more than a month.
  • figures is what I wanted. What have I? Bugger! In the September 2008 issue, we are entitled to the tendency of products like accessories, poker, reading, traditional games, GN, computing and model between 2007 and 2008. Too much! And ranking games that are anything but representative because it is nowhere indicated the number of questions (shops) who responded to the survey!
  • Do you know how stores meet the "forum"? When answering questions on a page of Retail Shop and returning in an envelope Games Pro. Yes, yes, in 2008, is still used letters. I find it incredible that there is not a true Internet forum dedicated to shopping. If I was manager of a shop, I see myself badly on the last day of the month to send my little summary Games Pro to "pass" in the double page magazine that is devoted. Please note that in the last editorial, it says they are working on a new project that would monitor the news more immediate .. W8 & see !
These constructive criticisms are not intended to "destroy" the magazine Games Pro but to raise awareness to readers eager to know the state of the market that the magazine subscription is not a mandatory approach. Pro games nevertheless deserves to exist for "small" boutique managers because it brings together many of the games published this month. In addition, if you do not have Internet, it will direct you to release games. To conclude, if you're a gamer, I do not think Games Pro is indispensable. However, if you are a manager of a game store that knows no Internet, Gaming Pro is for you.


If you're really interested, just mail me and I will read the pages you are interested:)

Rom Pokemon Heart Gold Per Desmume Su Mac

Huhn is not that bad

Poulet aveugle Screened Huhn is one of many games in my game library we n 'have not had the opportunity to test together. After a single party had not left a great memory, we're convinced: "Allez hop! Today, we (re) tested what happens." Well, starting from very low, this game has succeeded to brighten this gloomy afternoon. That is his only asset as we shall see, do not expect a revolutionary game.

I bought this game at the show in Essen in 2007 at a price raisonnale memory. Having tested with Sebastian, manager of the shop Au Coin Du Jeu , I was not expecting anything extraordinary. I had just been seduced by the illustrations of chicks. Like what, you can really buy a game for its graphics ...

The gameplay is relatively simple: we all have the same number of cards chicks initially symbolizing our money. In our turn, we look discreetly the first 3 cards from the top of the pile and we choose to reveal 1 or 2 then we announce a price for the lot of 3 cards. The players, in turn, can outbid or simply give up. Once all players have spoken, the player who made the best offer or pay the players. Obviously, there are maps more or less as good to own gold seeds that accumulated to a map Screened Huhn (chicken or blind from my friend Google ) reported 5 points. In contrast, a single card Screened Huhn lost 3 points in endgame.
The end of the game! Here's what to me is the bottom of this game: A scoring impossible to predict because of its complexity. I will not make the effort to explain it because it is brilliantly explained by the Clube .

Jeanjean My boyfriend had the good idea we propose a new game right after the first (which I managed superbly by the way). Another shortcoming is apparent: its replayability. Do not expect to chain the parties as a Race For The Galaxy example! This game is to relax: he wants fun, instinctive and sometimes a little bitch.



To conclude, I would say that I enjoyed this game to its fair value. Do not take for granted the few criticisms TricTrac which I think are too harsh for this type of game if you have the opportunity to play, take it! We can not say it's a game drink because of its duration playing a tad too long, however, to begin an afternoon game, it's perfect. I plan to make another part of Filou soon because they seem relatively close in their sizes and their mechanisms. I would therefore like to know.

Gay Cruising Areas In New Jersev

The company Merlin changes the

Merlin When my hypothetical future in-laws gave me the extension The company Merlin for my 25 years I told myself: "Ouuaah, they are rich!" However, after the surprise came the questions: What was hiding behind it so much kindness? It is not their kind ... Am I doing something they dislike, what is it now a poisoned chalice? Well as you advertise on, this extension brings a real touch of freshness to the original game Knights of the Round Table .

After reading the feedback from players and Tric Trac express the opinion Fever Game , it does not I could not wait to test the extension. Yet today I decided to bring 2 large boxes of play at my boyfriend Thibault and locate and Jeanjean and Erwan, good knowledge. I had already opened the box of the extension and sincerely confess to have been very disappointed by the amount of material: 2 figures, 2 decks, 1 Orange, a few new coats of arms and a ruler. Recognize that it is expensive paid extension for 25 € at the corner of the game not? Fortunately they had offered me, I repeated endlessly ...
As we know well original game, a simple reading of the rules of the extension allowed us to play fast because very few rules were added / changed in the end:
  • Merlin helps us now on quests where he is now giving us the opportunity to draw a free rein,
  • If the quest is where it is completed, a catapult is no longer automatically added to the castle ramparts,
  • New white cards to the powers sympathetic
  • Travel is subject to travel cards (nothing too serious at first sight),
  • New maps black are present with the 7 Witches particular
  • And new building emblazoned with really useful unlike some of the original game.
These few lines are enough to roughly summarize the rules of the extension. If you want to read them in detail, click the following link the publisher's site Days Of Wonder. The party could then begin, we distributable 4 cards "Loyal" to 1 card "Traitor" to leave some doubt on the fact whether or not a felon. I will not here a full account of the game because it would be too boring and useless, for cons, I'll discuss a few scenes the party was and remains memorable.

Early in the game, numerous maps Excalibur fell and it was Erwan, aka Sir Ducon, who undertook to go procrastinate this quest was not a priority for us early in the game. I can not describe how he played because I suspected from the outset to be a felon. It's a little problem in this game if you play like a dick, it is believed right away that you are the traitor. In Erwan unfortunately, the players had this feeling quite often, so it's not on this game only. Meanwhile, Thibault decided only with some confidence to get the famous "Armor of Lancelot." Quests chained themselves pretty well, we do not blindions catapults, we managed to recover Excalibur, to push the "Saxons" thanks to a stunning card management on the part of King Arthur (me) and insidiously cards "Grail" was growing, the special black cards "Witches" started to seriously slow the progression of the property.

Then everything began to swing, Thibault made a mistake that cost him the loss of confidence of King Arthur (me). He had previously mentioned that he had several cards "Merlin" and when necessary deal with a special black card, he told us that he had only one! Why had he lied? Why us? Yet he was the one in whom I did trust the most. My kingdom began to fall ...

Thibault we had not lied because he was a felon, but because he wanted to keep this one for a future blow. Meanwhile, I noticed that my last few laps Jeanjean had done little to help and had its four points thanks to the bravery cards "Piety" and I made him think. To my surprise he took it badly and I was obliged to order him to come here help fight the Saxons, who were continually attacking us by sea, so he draws the card "Voyage" "Vision". He was then forced to go to the Grail, a quest that we had fought hard to avoid losing and that we had stopped momentarily to take care of those pesky Saxons. And then he made the most disingenuous thing that can be in this game! It turned out to be the traitor! We had then we discard each 2 white cards. And things do not contrived ... Sir Ducon, aka Erwan, was captured during one of his trips. I made the decision with Thibault not to rescue the time that we can finish a quest.

was too late, he remained loyal to the Knights a miserable point of bravery, 0-1 white card in hand, the holy grail eluded us completely, the catapults were many, too many. The twist of fate would have it, this is Morgan, a special black card that we killed him. My proud knights and myself had succumbed to the guile of Scapin, uh Jeanjean.



In conclusion, I Kiffe Grave his Momma. Maps "Travels" is a real benefit to the game that became much too mechanical and computer. The new shields are simply carrying new powers really nice. The new black cards "Witches" tear. One might regret that the felon really plays in his corner and did not have the same feelings as the loyal knights but also thanks to him that this game is one of my favorites. Pending test Pandemic and Red November and replay Ghost Stories soon, I hope you enjoy this extension as much as we did on this afternoon.

Pink And Blue Wrestling Shoes

The monopoly in wartime, is here!

Mr. Monopoly While I was reading the wonderful book The Game Makers : The Story of Parker Brothers from Tiddledy Winks to Trivial Pursuit of Philip E. Orban which I have already mentioned before for the birth of the game Pit forthcoming in September, I came across an interesting article titled "The secret of Monopoly." I've translated here in our language of Molière because I know there are always anglophobes among you. There is a small illustration I scanned the book .

When the allied air forces began to risk their lives in air missions over occupied Europe, the UK partner of Parker Brothers found a way to use the game Monopoly to help all those who had been captured by the Germans. The British War Office then worked with a small group of members of Waddington to change the Monopoly board that the Red Cross was responsible for delivering prisoners of war. They had the idea to dig with precision cuts in the game boards and just before gluing the labels, to "fill" with compasses, maps and documents describing the routes to take to escape from prison in which prisoners were being held.
At the time, cards were printed on silk because they did not make noise when were open. In addition, members of Waddington had so refined their method as British airmen were all in the heel of their boots, a silk map of Waddington in case they were captured. Play
gambling were common among the Germans, Italians and Austrians. We do not know exactly how many airmen who were saved by the Monopoly, but 35,000 prisoners of war managed to escape prison and rejoin their comrades safe.

Cocky Concieted Quotes

Intrige, or how to test the strength of his friendship

Image de la version Amigo de Intrige You have probably read somewhere on the net or have heard in discussions but fun Intrige is really the game as "whore" I know. Personally, I love it! Have good friends, assemble at a party and play there for half an hour. If at the end of the game they are still your friends, you can tell your mates that are either very "good" players or they're lying and they expect the next game to take revenge.

I bought this game in February this year thanks to advice from Sebastian Master places Au Coin Du Jeu . At this point, I was looking for an original game where it would rot through the directly. This was the first game he showed me and I confess that if I had not explained the principle, I would not have taken for its visual qualities. In other words, do not expect a Jamaica or Pillars of the Earth!

Intrige is a game of Stefan Dorra , but I prefer that Wikipedia tells you more: It is
occupational therapist and author of prolific German board games. He studied sociology, speech therapy and assistance for the physically handicapped. He works in Hanover as a school speech therapist promotion. It also develops communication concepts for the disability at the floor.

How does the game now? Well, it is relatively simple, the goal is to have the most ducats at the end of the game. Until then, we remain in the Classic. On your turn, (1) collect revenue scholars you have placed in the mansions opposing (2) Welcome the new scholars to your door then (3) Place 2 scholars in the mansions of the other players . Be aware that you have 4 slots in your mansion which relate more or less ducats: 1000, 6000, 10 000 and 3000. Moreover, at the beginning of the game each has eight scholars who come in pairs.
The interesting part of the game is that of negotiations. When there is an external or internal conflict (see rules for details), each player announces an offer and pay a bribe to the player who owns the mansion. At the end of negotiations, a player decides he wants as he keeps WHO in his mansion and at which locations it puts the opposing scholar. It's a game diabolically evil!

Manoir dans la version Amigo de Intrige
Last night for instance with my knowledge and Erwan Jeanjean, I took a beautiful mandala in the face too soon after betraying the trust of Erwan. Why betray me tell you in these cases? For there is no choice, you must betray, lie, cheat, talk, influence, everything done by our politicians but in fact here in a friendly atmosphere! After having simply stolen 13,000 ducats, Erwan me completely dismantled despite the fact that I gave him 20,000 ducats for forgiveness. You should know that forgiveness is not in this game

At the end of the evening, I still brought home Erwan ... because I'm a nice guy! Finally, if you're a nice person by nature and do not like haggling and betrayal, this game is not for you . If you're a bad player and you do not recognize, this is not for you . If you are a player who relies heavily on design, this game is not for you .
However, if you're on top of all this, I urge you to get it. Hint: Take the game late in the evening to avoid rotting the rest of the evening)

Pimples In My Stomach Area

Huuue - My first time

Image de chevaux pour le jeu Huuue! I made my first game ever Huuue! this weekend along with Thibault, Jeanjean, Maxime and Alexia. After a very quick explanation of the rules are very simple, we start to play. The youngest, Maxime, nevertheless has a little trouble biter how to advance and push the horses on the track. Too bad for him because it's the only way to win ...

The goal is to be the first to win 6 points from victory. These are acquired by betting on the horse winning a race. Plus the horse is a "loser" and therefore unlikely to win the race, the more it will yield. However, if this is the "favorite", it does yield few points of victory.
Then, for each race, we have many cards in hand than the number of horses on the track. In turn, we play a card of a color on the horse according to its value and the value of card drawn at the beginning of a turn forward and rewind the corresponding horse. If the color of the card is drawn at the beginning of a revolution, it will not budge. For the intricacies of the rules, I suggest you read the article written by Cyberfab .

I will admit that I was not expecting anything special from that game I took it as it came with no prejudices. After some very long due to Maxime and Alexia in passing I have not felt that thing that makes me shiver for a game I do not want to play again immediately. And why do you ask?
  • Because I do not have the chance and that it represents more than 84.53% in this game (yes I counted).
  • Because only the last 2 laps of a race (or last) actually influence the victory of a horse. How many times a horse he reassembled the entire track in the final round?
  • Because in the end, it is easier to bet on the favorites as the "losers". Casserole, if you look at me, it is for you!
  • Because if the last lap of the race card is the color the horse on which you bet, and bah you have it in the %@#!.
  • Because the whip is useful but not here giving you the chance to win, believe me!
  • Because when you are first player, your chances of winning are very close to 0. They are 0 if you choose a slacker!
Nevertheless, I always let a second chance to play. Therefore I find one of several reasons that will push me to do another party:
  • Because a 5-part seems much more risky than a party to three, I retested the game with 2 friends to see where you can really maximize our chances to win.
  • Because I've found 3 variations on BlackRock's website Editions and they seem to add a little more tactics to the game
  • Because a trail game is available on the official site and she is pretty!
  • Because it is a light play and he can delight fans of tiercé.
  • Because I'm the only one here who did no more, I must really be different from others ... include more concrete!

Should I Have My Gallbladdder Removed For Poylps

Definition Kingmaking

Sacre de Philippe III le Hardi Too few subjects on the web revolve around a phenomenon inherent in board game known as the Kingmaking . Let me take this beautiful day for a precise definition of Kingmaking, illustrate it by a few games and then give my personal view.
First, it was determined that the Kingmaking applied only to games 3 or more players. Then defined as the Kingmaking: That the action that a player who is clearly unable to win the game (it is called the kingmaker ) realizes that allows another player to win. There are several levels:
  • The player must make an action that will decide the winner of the game between several players,
  • The player has no effect on how that could fix it and is therefore obliged to make a move that favors one of the other players,
  • The player knows his next move will decide the winner of the game.
What better examples with real games to understand the complexity of the problem (if it is one)?

Tête de Canard In the game Canardage , edited by Gigamic, our goal is to eliminate all enemy ducks that pass over the river using maps "Bang!". It's a game that wants fun, fast, Lightweight and very accessible. The big black point of the game, I think, is that players with all the ducks are dead, that the losers continue to play with the survivors. Thus, in most cases, it is a loser who deliberately kills a duck the last player the benefit of another player (the Kingmaking is there), or the losers are just shit because they don ' have no cards to draw.
Personally, I do not play this game in spite of these undeniable qualities of play and atmosphere of his illustrations that make me laugh.

Information Sheet Canardage

Tête de Haricot Another form of Kingmaking appears in the most famous game by Uwe Rosenberg Bohnanza , also available at Gigamic. This game is a must if you do not have it yet, I advise you to buy now. It combines both tactical and trade exchange. Nevertheless, it has a slight defect. Everything is based on the exchange of cards, so if nobody wants to do business with you because your head does not tell them or they are not a good day, you can stay on the floor the entire game. If this happens regularly, change of friends (I know is easier said than done).
In fact, some form of Kingmaking occurs when an experienced player in Bohnanza in our example, play with beginners. He can then manipulate them at will to accept that trade is not the same, or cards he wants to rid the pretext that they can not catch up at the score.

Information Sheet Bohnanza

All that for what? I realize that Kingmaking is a term used everywhere for the fart. In fact, if one refers to the exact definition, Kingmaking situations are rare for a game against the other, there are a lot of games that can bring this situation. I do
not know if I'm well put ... What I mean is that despite the fact that the Kingmaking be possible in many games, it is rarely implemented. What do you think? I am so far from the truth? Have you experienced situations Kingmaking?

Leather 8 Ball Jacket

The board game favorite Christmas Godin

Pie Face I wondered what might push people like Noel Godin aka Entarteur to the "pied " celebrities such as Nicolas Sarkozy , Doc Gyneco or even Bill Gates , and although I found the answer by accident today while surfing blogs even have specialized in games!
The head is definitely the board game Pie Face published by Hasbro in 1964. Not to be confused with Another game of the same name edited by Parker Brothers in 1993.

To understand the well-oiled machine of the game and all the tricks, nothing more simple, everything is in the slogan:

Click ... Click ... Click ... Whoops! ...

Adolf Hitler Quotes: a set of 7 families

Adolf Hitler dans son bain Redeem you tyrants in the world's most famous game in the 7 families "Das Fuehrer Quartett " published by Onkel & Onkel . List of the 32 present dictators: Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pinochet, Franco and Ceausescu! They all are!
In fact, it's not really a game of 7 families since the game is a " Quartet", a sort of game 7 families Simplified German German for children. In short, it's a game of 8 families, each consisting of four dictators. These are identifiable by name, country they Succeeding, the education they received and the time they passed to govern. The 8 families are classified as follows:

  • H - Black but not beautiful (black, but not beautiful)
Volker Oppmann of Onkel & Onkel says there is no real political ideas in this game, and he simply wanted to use the power Emblematic of these historical figures to make a game and he added:

When You Can Laugh At Them, You Do not fear 'em as much.
Cartes du jeu Das Fuehrer Quartett Personally, I like to laugh at everything so it does not bother me! However, this is not the opinion of everyone. Indeed, Senator Ehrhart Körting Berliners 66 years old the card game described as bland. Arnulf Baring Historian meanwhile, laments that one minimizes the enormity of the crimes with this game
This responds to what's Oppmann they presented the card game at the Leipzig Book Fair and that employees of the "Bundeszentrale für Politische Bildung", an organization linked to democratic education, found the cards very fun and they decided to order 5 packs on.
