Beats the shit out of playing Apples To Apples....<br /><br />And if you like Apples to Apples, check out "Eat Poop You Cat" on BGG - it's a 100000 times better game and it's free.<br /><br />~PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-69675509990189150802010-01-06T02:01:17.071-08:002010-01-06T02:01:17.071-08:00As I never played Talisman as a child I am more th...As I never played Talisman as a child I am more than a little mystified by its popularity.<br />However, I am going through a similar experience with Munchkin, right now. My 12 year old thinks it is the best thing since sliced bread (or sliced orc) and now I am having to play a game I'd hoped would never darken my door again.

With Fantasy Flight Games remaking it, I thought it had to be good. But... it's just kind of dumb. <br /><br />Having said that.... to all you out there who still want it... it sells VERY WELL for us at Dogstar Games. I'm not sure why... but it does! <br /><br />Jason<br />DogstarGames.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951493275343813389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-12787220004856118872010-01-03T08:46:40.189-08:002010-01-03T08:46:40.189-08:00Apples to Apples is fun unless you're playing ...Apples to Apples is fun unless you're playing with people who are too literal or are humor impaired. I consider it a great game because I've played a few rounds with certain people and have laughed at THEIR jokes, when usually I'm the comedian in the crew.<br /><br />2 rules for A2A - if you start seeing the same cards, you're done. Put it away until next time. Don't use the Jr. Edition, either.<br /><br />Oh, but I must mention Talisman again since that's the review de jour. Talisman sucks. Unless you've only played Monopoly your whole life, in which case Talisman looks like a brilliant achievement. <br /><br />Hey! They should make Talismanopoly!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00923735937562655002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-27130861702765726362010-01-02T16:06:59.497-08:002010-01-02T16:06:59.497-08:00Sorry, EJ, but Apples to Apples is not a good game...Sorry, EJ, but Apples to Apples is not a good game. Dixit is a lot like Apples to Apples, but is largely different because it is fun, and not stupid.<br /><br />I should probably stop alienating my readers, especially when they're also friends. I just can't help myself.<br /><br />This must be why I spend every holiday alone, drinking a bottle of Boone's Farm and smoking six packs of Lucky Strikes until I throw up and cry myself to sleep.Matt Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293720777403743376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-404910952002775992010-01-01T22:00:00.806-08:002010-01-01T22:00:00.806-08:00I must remind you that Apples to Apples is not a g...I must remind you that Apples to Apples is not a game you play to win, but a game you play to have fun and make your fellow players laugh. Playing to win automatically means you lose. Kinda like playing BSG with certain people.<br /><br />Yes, Talisman sucks in 2010, but rocked in 1987. Strange how that happened, but happened it did. I'm amazed that the fourth edition has its fans.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00923735937562655002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-76694703506784429912010-01-01T01:45:37.237-08:002010-01-01T01:45:37.237-08:00I review all kinds of board and card games (in fac...I review all kinds of board and card games (in fact, Talisman is not a role-playing game, and so your question is met with some amusement on my end).<br /><br />However, I do not want to play Bailout!

The Game.<br /><br />Daniel, your first clue that I had third edition might have been the fact that I mentioned that I had third edition. I've heard from a few sources that second is better, and I have that, too, so I may try it.Matt Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293720777403743376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-1315779394651851552009-12-31T18:23:43.789-08:002009-12-31T18:23:43.789-08:00Do you review non-role playing games like Bailout!...Do you review non-role playing games like Bailout!
