Ha! megan, if it makes you feel any better, I mostly understood that paragraph, but in no way would be able to explain its meaning to anyone.

Hee! That's all advanced stuff, but I'm happy to expound and babble until your eyes glaze over, megan.
Oh, wait. I see they already have....
I've only played Set once or twice, and not recently, but I think it was fun. I had to run through the online version GC linked to to remember it at all and now I want to play.
I may have to expound on the joys of my Republic of Rome board game later, to possibly entertain and intrigue any history buffs out there.
So since we have this shiny gaming thread, allow me to link to one of my current favorite games! Unhallowed Metropolis, the gas-mask chic role-playing game of Neo-Victorian horror.
Now yes, I'm slightly biased. Neo-Victorian Gothic, quasi-Steampunk, and zombies and vampires. Plus I know the kids behind it, and they keep taking pictures of me to use in the sourcebooks. But! It's got a great, atmospheric setting. I have no idea how good the mechanics are; I've only played one session of the game so far, and I'm one of those types of players who can't ever remember rules or mechanics. But friends of mine who ARE more mechanics-oriented have made happy noises at the main rule book.
Neo-Victorian zombies and vampires, folks. Really, how can you say no?
That's all the sales pitch I needed, Jilli. Added to the list to check out.
I know we have Set. I have played Bohnanza but am not sure if we own it. I know it has been on the list so if we don't have it then we might need to get it. We also have fluxx and Zombie Fluxx.
I also desperately want to pick up a copy of the OOTS board game. I know Laga has played it.
Also, Jilli, you wicked, evil temptress. You made me want to buy Unhallowed Metropolis, but I can find it nowhere for sale.

Oh crap, is it out of stock everywhere? I'm sorry, Sean. I know that one of my local gaming stores should have it in stock; want me to pick up a copy for you?
(Notice how I am NOT saying "Sean, you should come to Seattle"? Admire my self-control here, people.)
SO EVIL.
Yeah, maybe you should pick up a copy for me. It's what, about $40?
