If I lived in London I'd definitely play Netrunner with Quinns any chance I could.
. I am still pretty new to BGG and am still learning their arcane ways! It's hidden away, thanks user interface, but here's a link to it - Google maps for finding BGG users.On second thought the prices might have been a 1% under MSRP. I'm so used to online prices that anything close to MSRP is absurd.
I guess brick and mortar shops are pretty much locked in on price points. My local shop males most money via Magic,Pokemon cards etc.
Yep, but I would typically have something like, 5 orange and 2 blue cards, none of which remotely relate to a black-and-white woman in a cap with sewing material.
I feel similar, only played it once though.
But you also have those amazing moments when the guessers totally get an obtuse clue and it's like 'wow guesser, are we soulmates perhaps?' but of course you can't say it because of the spymaster's vow of silence. So you have really good highs and lows which is great for a party game. It's really been the perfect game for our work game group where we have very few gamers and unpredictable numbers. Smash Up?
And yeah like Joel said what game?!
I love Codenames. Like, would rate it as one of the best party games out there. It shouldn't even be listed as playable with four though as imo you need six minimum for it to click a little. It's got a bit of 7 Wonders to it in that it's not just the mechanics, but also the unique play flexibility. So in Codenames you can have people come in and out, size of teams is almost irrelevant, etc. And you have a lot of funny situations especially with larger groups where the cluegivers and guessers are just both looking at each other like 'wtf are you getting at?'
I played Machi Koro again last night and it kind of has something similar to it -- when I played it with gamers I was relatively tepid on it. But we played it with a couple non-gamer friends last night and it was a ton of fun.
Know yourself and your audience is I guess my point.
I could see Machi Koro being fun with non-gamers because they might not break the game the first couple of rounds. It felt very snowbally to me even with more than 2 players, and certain cards seemed 100% the best even with random stacks, but I didn't try Millionaire's Row.I love Codenames.

Even with that, the sushi shops were incredibly strong earlier for some games. There were a lot of turns where people could just sit around and do NOTHING because odds of hitting one or two red cards that other players had prevented people from getting enough money to roll two dice.
I only played it 4player. Need to try it with more. Like I said, I like the game, just dont find it to be anything special. But will try with more
Yeah, I'm really no expert. I think I've played maybe four games. I would much rather play it than Catan though, which has a similar vibe imo (though obviously is a much better game mechanically). But I'm a Catan hater.
I don't really bother much with CSI sales because they're usually really weak (although I use them for all regular purchases).
