A group of my friends got together to play Resistance, which was a ton of psychological warfare. We don't have the physical copy of the game though, so we just played with a deck of cards. The mind games are still full-throttle with or without the box set.

I love me a game of Resistance. I did buy the physical copy, and with the exception of some cards that I don't use when we play a deck of cards will do the job just the same. I like it because I can make up funny names for the character cards though.

If you haven't already, I'd recommend checking out Coup. It's the same setting, but you're playing the elite of society trying to gain power over your fellows. It's a fun bluffing game, and it's really quick to play.

This last weekend I played Dominion and Castles of Burgundy along with some Savage Worlds roleplaying. I guess I covered every category...cardgames, boardgames and roleplaying games.

You're missing dexterity games!

My husband bought me Battlestar Galactica for my birthday in May and we finally got around to learning it this past weekend. We played like 4 times and it was a ton of fun. I'm pretty sure it's more fun to be a Cylon than a human.

Got Keyflower and Dominant Species for pretty cheap. Both games are amazing; we've already played a ton of Keyflower but have only had time to play Dominant Species twice (two hour play time? hah!)

I just broke out my copy of Keyflower this past weekend and everyone enjoyed it. I was surprised at how simple the game is to learn and teach.

Played a game of life with a 10 and 6 year old...

We have this on our family Kindle - it's a lot of fun in that medium - we can get a game in in about 20 minutes.

Specter Ops at four players (Beast, Gun and Prophet vs Blue Jay). During most of the game, we closely followed the agent. He was forced right at the beginning to use a flashbang grenade and an adrenaline rush to avoid being cornered. Impossible to get a line of sight, but always right behind him. But at the third control point, he did not clearly said he was last seing twice on the same spot on two different rounds, so we did not noticed he went back on his track. That's the moment we lost him and the game.

Pictomania. I'm not good at drawing, but drawing and guessing at the same time was very chaotic.

Welcome to the Dungeon. Who will be the chicken and back off, and who will go to the dungeon gaining glory or wounds? Really fun, and simple.

Dice Masters. I need some practice, and better builds in this dice game.

Spyfall. Oh boy, this one is tough: asking questions vague enough so the spy can't guess where are we but specific enough to catch him. Fun, but stay alert!

Ahh, Specter Ops! I think I'll have to own this one by Extra Life. I got the wonderful chance to hang out with Emerson as he taught me and a few others how to play Volt - didn't get to Specter Ops though! Argh! Spyfall sounds like another great game for a small crowd.

I drove two hours to make a big (multi) game sale, then was the guest at a local gamer's house.

We started with Dungeon Lords - on my bucket list for a long time, simply by virtue of being a Vlaada. It took him an hour to get me through the rules and the four intro scenarios/puzzles (while player 3 was doing other things). Then we spent another 4 or so hours slogging through the game. It wasn't one of those bad five-hour sessions - there was a lot of built in downtime with the little kid running around being cute.

So that was pretty fun. I need to play again soon, so it somewhat coagulates in my mind.

Now I know Vlaada makes complicated, interesting games. Tell me he's not packaging little kids into them now though, right?

Played a cute game called Camel Up. It's themed in camel racing and about betting and probability.

Love that game! I just got it for Father's day and though I've only played it twice I'm sure it'll hit the table again soon!
