Board Game General /bgg/

Actually, Twilight Struggle has a steam version that's pretty good. The interface is a bit clunky, but the A.I. plays extremely well, and the software follows the board game rules explicitly thus allowing you to learn the board game version of the rules correctly. Very thematic as well.

Lewis & Clark for 25 bucks
yay or nay?

Oh, has it improved? Last I checked it was getting some rules incorrect (e.g. USSR playing The Iron Lady) and the AI was trash (as in, literally playing suicide cards).

Just bought mage knight. Is the game engaging?

Very, but lots of downtime between turns if you're playing with more than 2.

Are the expansions worth it for The Resistance or should i just get Avalon?

Some people from work are interested in getting a Diplomacy game going, anyone have experience with those? Never played it before but it sounds fun.

They're ok, though I'm of the opinion they exist for the people who play Resistance a lot, and start to have too much meta gaming and everything playing out too similar. When people ask me I tend to say pick the art/theme that appeals to you more, because even if you get Avalon, you're likely going to have to teach the base game several times to any new players before adding in the roles to tune the difficulty to your particular group.

considering grabbing seasons. I've only really heard good things about this game and want to hear some of the negatives. What did you hate about seasons?
