How do you like Netrunner?

Sherrif is a fun one, IF you have a group that's willing to have fun with it. The people we usually play games with don't enjoy that style of game, so I'll pull it out when we have other friends around.
Nice! I'm playing Blood Rage this weekend.3rdGen2015 said:
Got a chance to play Blood Rage for the first time last night. It was a decent step up from the games my group has played in the past, but we had a lot of fun with it. I wound up running away with it because I was the only one who had a single strategy and stuck with it for the whole game. I'm excited to give it another shot now that the group has seen how those cards can work together and to see how the meta of the group can change.
How many times have you gotten to play? Do you have a specific strategy you attempt each time or do you wing it based on the cards you get in the first few draft rounds?Bryan98 said:Nice! I'm playing Blood Rage this weekend.3rdGen2015 said:

I've only played three games so far I believe. So far I don't go in with a particular strategy in mind.3rdGen2015 said:How many times have you gotten to play?

Clank is one of my favorite games at the moment. We played it wrong tho so the person going first got a huge advantageKidDoc said:
I played several matches of Clank! with my daughter when she was in town last. Really fun little board game. Quick game and very interesting mechanics.
He wasn't ahead the whole game; he took the lead sometime in the second age, I think. We did manage to keep him from pillaging Ygdrassil during the first age, as well.3rdGen2015 said:
How did he play that he was so far ahead the whole game?
try lords of waterdeep. it's got elements of catan but also some deck building. it's done by the dungeons and dragons people.Bulldog73 said:
Ok... I have several games and like playing cooperative games, competitive games, but don't have a super loyal group in the Waco area. It's usually my wife, me, and another couple. That being said, I'd love some input on other games which we could play.
Currently, we're working our way through Pandemic Legacy, but our wives don't love it. Games of deceit or misdirection haven't gone over well like Resistance and Sherriff of Nottingham. Carcassonne was a favorite as is Settlers and Ticket to Ride, but we've grown a little tired of them.
incorrect terminology on my part.Red Five said:
This whole thread is trying to answer that kind of question
I would agree with schmendeler that Lords of Waterdeep would be a good one to try. It's an excellent introduction to worker placement games, although there definitely isn't any deck building in it, so I'm not sure what was meant by that.
I would also recommend Castles of Mad King Ludwig since Carcassonne was a hit. It's about placing tiles representing castle rooms in specific arrangements to get bonuses, but it also has a neat auction mechanic where one person establishes the values of the tiles and then the other players pay that person for the tiles that they want. Shouldnt be too hard pick up if the group is already familiar with something like Catan where establishing how much a particular item is worth to someone is an important part of the game.
As suggested Castles of Mad King Ludwig is my wife's favorite game and gets played regularly.Bulldog73 said:

Have you checked out boardgame groups on Meetup.com? I would guess there are lots of students to play with in Waco. Or College Station, if you feel like driving.Bulldog73 said:
I'm aware and I've read it all. It's just tough without a solid group that loves trying new games. I'll check out Castles of Mad King Ludwig too.
