GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Wow. I could actually help a lot with this check. Figures.

Since we've established failing the check does nothing, I will play no cards.

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

Yeah, this one's actually in my colours for once. Was looking forward to playing something.

I'm thinking I can scout the crisis or destination deck.

I think Apollo has been hitting the old mans stash.

(psst. By "up to bat" I mean, what do you want to play into the crisis card check?)

move out and draw fire

We finally tried Dominion last night. I can see why people like it. As it was our first game, it took somewhat longer than the 30 minutes it claims to take, but once you get the hang of it, it plays pretty fast.

I treated it like Magic:The Gathering and tried to figure out how to chain combinations, which put me way ahead by the midgame...but the DH played it like Puerto Rico and ultimately won. I think we'll try some other variants; I like that it's so flexible.

I like that it's so flexible.

I've only played it a couple of times with the starter set of categories, but I like that you only use some of them and look forward to trying out new combinations.
