Everything including the kitchen sink... but with special attention paid to board games, Jesus Christ, my family, being a "professional" (and I use that word loosely) Christian, and the random firing of the 10% of the synapses I'm currently using.

Tichu is really bucking the trend. Do you have that Mark? I'd like to try it.
ReplyDeleteNo, but I have Gang of Four, which is similar & which I enjoy more.
ReplyDeleteNow all the Tichu fans are properly cued to come on in & jump me. :-)
BTW, I've been playing RAGE and there's two different rule sets. I like the game and I imagine you probably played the German Rules rather than the International. I might urge you to give it another try. The change rage/ out rage/ wild rage are not that choatic IMO.
ReplyDeleteMark,
ReplyDeleteI read your comment about liking Gang of Four more than Tichu and immediately thought I needed to reply. Then I saw your second line and laughed out loud.
