    Talisman is my favorite board game! I own all the expansions for the most recent printing.

    If anyone wants to try it, just remember its an older game that isn’t meant to be balanced. The feel is more like a fantasy quest with highly random elements, or a party game where fortunes can reverse quickly. There are strategies you can use to win consistently, but the game is more enjoyable if you take it as a story rather than something to be optimized.

    (And if that isn’t your thing, that’s ok)







  • Last game I played was World of Tanks, so…

    Society as we know it ended in 1919, after the calamitous fall of every world government. There is no order or law save the will of the Tank Clans, roaming columns of tanks from every nation on the constant prowl for ammunition, fuel and supplies to keep their rampage sustained for even a moment longer.

    To be a tanker in this time is to embrace chaos and anarchy. Tank clans commit to bloody battles, fighting to the last man over scarce resources. The victors cannibalize the smouldering wrecks of the fallen for whatever scrap remains. Technological advances come at the cost of hundreds fallen, all in the name of making deadlier war machines. This the world I now inhabit, a world of steel and chaos, of armor and war. This is…

    The World of Tanks.
