I've only ever played it once, in my entire life, with Derek and Chase's friends. It was a blast. My fiance is a huge fan of it too and she's not so much into the gaming.
Infernal Contraption is kinda a pain to learn but it has strong replay value and a lot of strategy. Despite that it tends to be fast...unless I'm playing with Mr. 45 Minute Turn...lol. But seriously, that was some machine tonight. It was so powerful it decked you. Talk about amazing. If only you could have turned that to take out John. Better luck next time I guess.
We gotta get you in on a game of Ducks. I think a mini-tournament for Ducks would be a blast too. Quick to play and so many people love it that a strong showing could be expected. I hope that maybe someday Derek will get a copy for the store. I know John bought one. Although his copy has 2 cards that used to be con exclusives. My copy doesn't have them. Anyway...Ducks is a blast (literally).
That reminds me that Riley has Bang, which is another classic. Fast, fun, multiplayer game for up to I believe 5-6 people. So many good games.
BTW, I just picked up Careers tonight. I highly recommend it and must give props to Jay for introducing me to it.
