I've just wrapped up a wonderful evening with the wife. Three of the kids were asleep, the youngest (18 months) was drifting about, and we got to play our first game of Pandemic: Legacy. And we actually won (far from assured with Pandemic).
Given that I've often used Magic: the Gathering as the basis of comparison with War Robots and design, and my enjoyment of board games, it made me wonder... what other games are you into right now?
Here's my list.
CCG's/LCG's
Magic: the Gathering (I'm a current writer for Gathering Magic)
Netrunner
Ascension
Tabletop
Pandemic
Descent
Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn
T.I.M.E. Stories (SO good)
Eldritch Horror
Was big into D&D Attack Wing too for awhile, even wrote articles for WizKids
RPG
Dungeons & Dragons (enjoy 5th Edition, but 2nd Edition 4-evar)
Video Games
*crickets chirp*
I loved video games as a kid. At 42, a lot of early gen consoles were my thing, from the 2600 to NES. Sega Master System was a big love, too, particularly Phantasy Star. But I just don't have a lot of time for them anymore, with four kids to lovingly raise. Extended video game time just feels decadent. I've played freemium games for awhile, but War Robots is the first that really caught me as a hobby rather than just something I did killing time on the toilet.
So anyone reading this plays games... but any other gamers out there? I'm a former owner of a comic book and game shop too, so talking shop is a real treat. Looking forward to seeing what folks are playing!
