@silverlock I seem to remember it was quite a high profile release. I can't remember why. I bought it from Forbidden Planet, London. May still have it somewhere. I don't think the follow ups were quite as good.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@silverlock Enjoyed it greatly.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@JoshPhillipsPhD Ohhh. There is some barmy stuff written on Twitter but there are limits. Please, consider deletion. You have crossed the line here.

I loaned one once. The therapist cost me a fortune. He never returned it and it is now worth £300, which just makes it worse.

@HonestHalo @wastingtime25 He is a walking game player. He is also toast.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@silverlock @Mountain_Navy Missed it. I will see what I can find!

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@LibertyForAll19 I don't disagree. I don't watch much and I have no subs. But there is the occasional gem - Slow Horses was very good.

@CorpseKings Looks like Benedictine. Absinthe?

@Shrink_at_Large I am in that position. It is a full day of fighting or worrying.

@DreamsUnchartd @globalcomix Ironically, not the comic image. Nothing like him!

@BladeoftheS VAR checking.....

Uninformed use of the F word.

Penalty: blockage.

@GrowingUpRetro Ohhh. I started with MSDOS in 1984. Windows was a new dawn.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@silverlock One of my all time favourites. Subsmash!

@almurray In the same way a previous government ended with a scrap of paper, he has started out that way.

No plan, no ideas, no future.

@silverlock I was that close to being the editor of the first edition from Sophisticated Games where I worked at the time. It was, and still is, a remarkable piece of work.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@SohSak @sikkoukakari I love this game. It needs a second edition that is tweaked and tuned. But the basics are impressive.

One of the few deck builders I will play.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@Nesil_Caliskan @DeborahMeaden @UKLabour Also, the number of times they have mentioned it.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@CharlesVasey @OfficeDogGames Interesting. I had a moment last night when I thought "too many rules to remember now", but my opponent shouted at me to reassure me, so I pressed on.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

Lord of the Rings Trick Taking: The Two Towers (2p 3h). We finished the game tonight after five sessions. While it has some difficult scenarios, it remains a superbly designed, innovative and challenging game. Can't wait for the final chapter.

A modern gem.

@Neets21 Interesting Ratio.
