[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's not simple, though most turns have the same phases and it starts to play fairly intuitively once you get some practice. But yes, it's a playing mechanism that was adapted from high-level wargames (e.g. covering all of WWI, or the Cold War), and they're not known for simplicity of rules. The chief difference between this style and Euro games like Ticket to Ride and Settlers of Catan is that in the latter, the theme doesn't really matter so much, so elegant mechanics and decision-making are the big things; while for 1960 et al, they're trying to simulate the feel of the subject matter, which makes for more complicated rules to capture all the elements.
I'm in for either type, but it's harder finding gaming partners for the more complicated games.

Maybe if you married one.

Hey Hec, the other day, what made you think I wanted to move to Portland?

You had that wandering gleam in your eyes? Everybody wants to be near Cass? I knew you weren't happy at your job? Who wouldn't want to live in Portland?
Please concoct my specious theory from the above options.

Maybe he just thinks that every few years you should move further up the coast. Next it will be Seattle, then Victoria, and eventually Alaska.

Ooh, yes! Only, omit that "eventually" word. Instead, "shortly" would work really well.
