Stuff I’d like someone to buy for Games Club

[avram]

Anyone out there know if Sucking Vacuum is any good? It’s got some good dark humor going at the flavor level (check out those lung-capacity tracks), but there aren’t any reviews up yet, so I can’t tell about the game play. I may risk $5 on Natural Selection, the prequel game from the same company, since I’m already planning to order some small, cheap games. (Verräter is back in stock, so I can order a replacement for my missing copy, which will probably promptly reappear. And while I’m at it, Mü & More looks like good value for $10.)

And Carcassonne: the Castle is only a two-person game, but it looks cool, and the reviews trend strongly positive.

RPGnet has a review of Sucking Vacuum.

In more retro nes, Hasbro has licensed their back-catalogue of Parker Brothers games to Winning Movse Games. I say this because the latter has produced SUPER SCRABBLE.

BTW... Who is that character in the unzipped catsuit, anyway?

Thanks.

Although action heroines really should wear brassieres. It's not a question of taste, but practicality. Do you really want your tits bouncing around when you dodge machine-gun fire? You can still be sexy and maintain a bit of control, too.

The anime rendition is rather more endowed than the cartoon version was. Of course, it's hard to find screen captures of the old cartoon. Here's the best out there:

It's important to note that that particular rendition was created for a SomethingAwful contest...

Stephen's got a copy of CCtC, if you want to check it out.

It's pretty good.

If you remind me tomorrow evening, I will bring my copy of Carcassone: The Castle to NYRSF to loan to you. It's superb, by far my favorite incarnation of the game.

Haven't we played Mue together? (I thought we had. I can loan you that, too, though it's a lot easier if it's taught.) One of the most original, and best, trick-taking games from Germany.

I see that you've already played Carc: The Castle. I'll still be happy to loan you Mu and More.
