I feel like we now need a new thread.

Something like 'Geeks Paradise'

Weirdo’s Lair

@matt-wood I had 7th continent and it was ok it's a lot like Tainted Grail with the choose your own adventure style but there was a lot less action so I ultimately sold it.

[Matt Wood]

@martin I saw a demo of The 7th Continent a while back, looked really interesting. I believe that can be solo play.

Terraforming Mars is a good board game for 1-4 players.

Me and my son play Star Wars Armada on tabletop. Bloody love it.

Is that Star Wars X-wing but with capital ships involved?

Oh yes

Does it work well with the capital ships? I played loads of X-wing when it came out.

It does. Better with more capital ships and the squadrons of fighters are a great addition as well. I’ve got a nice collection. Not bought a super star destroyer yet but it’s on the list

I really loved the idea of getting the capital ships involved ("Its a trap!" scene springs immediately to mind ) But given how big the X-wing and Tie models were my ocd would not allow for odd scaling with the bigger ships. So my stupid brain would need a 3 metre long super star destroyer Would take up the whole table!

Tainted Grail

My best mate came round with Moonstone: The Game last week, great game, plays really well with very few rules.

iF you want to go more geek Deadzone is a simple but complex sci-fi game.

Nice one can you play it solo? I’m all about solo gaming!

Just bought Sleeping Gods, Tainted Grail and Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion also late pledged for ISS Vanguard. Eyeing up Oathsworn, Robomon or Arydia if I save up some Christmas money!

Not sure Moonstone can be solo play, you could probably adapt the Deadzone rules to play solo.

Some good games in that list!

@john-folan There was so much Star Wars stuff at Comic Con and I kept thinking "I know John mentioned this on the forum"

I’m going to Star Wars Celebration next year. Can’t wait.

@dan-mackinnon I LOVED Crash as a kid!!! I bought the remastered one for switch lol

[Ryan]

@Martin Whats the game you have out?

[Dan MacKinnon]

@martin oh right, yeah £200 is probably a bit more than I would be willing to pay too.

You can meet guests, I didn’t as I didn’t know any of them but I think you have to pay to meet them.

[Martin]

@dan-mackinnon much cheaper than the one I looked at, think I was looked at close to £200!

Nice one I’m really into table top gaming at the moment, actually got a table set up with a game that I leave out

If they have retro gaming stuff that’s my bag too.

Do you get to meet and greet with any of the guests?
