I hit the alternate endings pretty hard in the review although for our group it really speeds up the game. When you are playing with a group of 7 or more speeding up the game is good.
The two alternate endings not included in the game but downloadable are The Crown of Command (the regular ending) and the Danse-Macabre. I include the links to both PDFs along with the back of the card if you want to print them out. If they had included these cards with the expansion the review would have earned that 4th star.
One note the Danse Macabre variation requires the Reaper Expansion (reviewed here)
This morning while everyone was getting ready to go to school I was sitting on the couch next to my oldest watching Morning Joe when the latest of the Direct TV film ads went up on the screen.
I commented to my 18 year old son that I know I’m getting old because I didn’t recognize the video or who the girl in it was. I asked my teenage son who that was…
I’m a balding graying 46 who has been married 21 years, I might be excused for not knowing or recognizing her or her music, but my son is 18 and in college, works in a local department store, was active in theater in high school and is in the improv club in college.
This was an embarrassment to him, he had some concerns it might make him an object of some ridicule among his peers when this post went up. What a geek! What a dork! My answer was his fellows at college can enjoy their laugh…
…until graduation when they won’t have time to laugh as they struggle to pay back those student loans taken to pay for school while he while he completes his through college with Das Full Boat.
If he shakes off the laughs and continues to hit the books it won’t matter if he keeps his car radio on his classical stations, and hangs out with sober, religious, drug free friends like Amanda and company. (A crowd that rivals or defeats my college group in sobriety and beats us in the sick sense of humor division but loses to us hands down in the medieval edged weapons category.) He will come out of college way ahead financially and with the freedom to decide what he wants to do without a millstone of debt around his neck to hold him back.
If the economy hasn’t recovered by then it might just be the edge he needs to make it. I guess the joke isn’t on him after all. Remember Sheldon didn’t know who Radiohead was but who did Penny turn to for help…
A: Tacos for supper and Shredded Wheat as your snack. Lucky for gameflow you can seamlessly lose turns when playing Talilsman with 7 guys. Gabriel Iglesias not withstanding it’s a BAD idea.
…are not reflective on her personally or her ability to do her job.
This is called having fun, people have fun. Fun is good. Everyone should have fun. I don’t think much of Couric as a reporter or of her bias but why shouldn’t she have fun going out?
I think attacking her on this is classless.
However on the Poem business, I say it’s open season on that one.
