Advice on acquiring / constructing Dice Towers You're missing the key components... namely the randomization deflectors inside. |

Advice on acquiring / constructing Dice Towers It also lacks the randomizing features of a well done dice tower... it's much easier to cheat the dice with a tray than a tower. |

When is the woodcutter worth buying in Dominion? If you're mostly silver, odds are the extra buy already goes to another mine or village... |

Shaun the sheep games rules? It sounds like time for someone to point out that ALL OF EUROPE is essentially part of the English speaking market place... if available in the EU, it's also available to native english speakers by postal order and English access to the EU by rail and ferry. They need to be disabused of their provincialism. |

What is the broader acceptance of resignation? Being upset over losing in a high luck game is the epitome of bad sportmanship. |

How to successfully store games on edge? Card decks develop a noticeable bowing after a few years; after 5+, many rubber bands will leave a mark upon the cards, and after several years, most are brittle and/or have glued themselves to the cards. Ziplocks are a far better option than rubber bands. |

What is the broader acceptance of resignation? A&A has so much luck factor, that even an optimal position can be lost in a couple turns, multiple routes to victory, shared victory, and no true player elimination (if your allies retake your homeland, you get it back). I've seen a player who had a 20infantry:1armor advantage lose a battle on several occasions... simply by luck of the dice. And further, a player dropping out means more work for some other player, since the 5 core nations are all played regardless of how many players. It is the perfect example of a game where resignation is a rudeness. |

What is the broader acceptance of resignation? In this context, A&A is a poor example, in part because it's a 2 team game, and in part because A&A has 2 different victory conditions... Economic, and capture the capitals. Having LOST my capital, playing japan, the German player and we still hit an economic victory when he took Moscow, and I rolled up on india. It's just two varied for a good example for this. |

What are good games to play during a one-hour lunch break? Finding opponents in the online play is often quite a test of patience, since the online version ONLY plays 3-player. The game is best, IMO, at 4p, as well. |

How can I tell how replayable a cooperative game is? @thesunnever the issues of replayability are pretty much the same in most games... but without the PVP variabilities, the games' inherent variabilities take over the dominance for replay factor. |
