A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

askye, I will take a look at my stash and see if I have any I can send you. I know I was looking for two-person games for a while, I don't remember if I bought any...

BSG (Apolllo)

If we go for the discards, I would have to discard randomly (WEAKNESS!) and [looks at hand] that would suck right now, so we're all going to have to tighten our belts.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

What are good 2 player board or card games that aren't too expensive
I will second "Set" rec, that's a fun game for all ages. I also like Yikerz [link]

Deck of cards is an infitie number of games. Two decks you can then play dualing solataire!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I forgot about Yikers! We had a blast playing that.

I can't say I'm not glad I get to keep my cards. Maybe we can "make" some food.

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

Food falls by 1. Next, the basestar fires:

Die roll: 1. Miss.

That concludes Cally's turn. Roslin's cards are going out. Ms Roslin, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Man, I think the Cylons should be able to play a card like Evasive Manuevers to help with those things.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG (Roslin)

Hmm. Okay, well, I don't want to let this one slip out of my hands again, so I'll not move and play SoE6. For my action I'll discard StP1 & CP1 to activate COMMS to look at the new civvie. I know it means an extra action to the metalman, but I think it's worth it for the extra actions for us.
