Arkham Horror is amazing. Steep learning curve, but amazing. seven of us took on Nyarlathotep and we won! Took us 7 and a half hours, but we won. None of us even fell asleep! For those of you who have never heard of it, Arkham Horror is a Lovecraftian horror/adventure board game where you try and prevent the consumption of the world by eldritch horror. There are three won conditions: close enough gates that the meany gives up, seal enough gates that it can't come through, or, if you fail to stop it from entering this plane, shoot/bludgeon/shiv it to death (not recommended). You get character cards and equipment and you move around the board doing encounters trying to find clue tokens. About every turn there is a new portal that opens with nasty demons (Dholes, for example) that claw their way out, then you get to go through the portal and try to close or seal it. It's basically the best game ever, and I'm currently pondering over a similar style game in a high-fantasy setting. Replace the eldritch horrors with dragons, ez mode.
Also, Darkspore! The Darkspore beta is back up, I thought it was over, but it's blessedly back! It's like Diablo meets Pokemon meets Spore Creature Creator. So much good. I'm looking for a crew of people that want to pre-order because they're having a deal on steam. Want. So. Hard.
