Ooooo… Jambalaya! As a Louisiana spoilerite, I bless Rodrigo.
I’ve been thinking about trying my hand at a Paella lately.
True story: Every saturday I wake up thinking “The Major Spoilers Podcast is ON THE AIR!!!”
I can eat bier rocks by the fistful. Sooooo good, cabbage and all. I also miss the Volga German Green Bean Dumpling soup…it’s sent strait from heaven!
I am a bit of a board game geek myself (Second only to RPGs) and I have some suggestions for those who don’t like really long or complex boardgames, but want to meet their board game geek friends halfway:
Red Dragon Inn – a great pick-up game, where you play D&D style adventurers, post-adventure, spending their loot in the tavern afterwards. The point of the game is to either gamble the players out of their gold, or drink them under the table. Each character (Fighter, thief, cleric, etc…) has a deck of cards which play to their strengths and weaknesses. There are three sets, which are both stand-alone games and expansions, which means it’s playable for up to 12 people (Which is a whole lot) and as few as 3. It’s especially fun if you read the flavor text in what you imagine the character’s voice to be like….
Pandemic – A game in which you take on the role of the Center for Disease Control fighting deadly diseases. This game is completely co-op, so you don’t have to worry about competitive people, because either you beat the disease and win, or it takes over the globe and you all lose. It’s very simple to learn, is very compelling, and has a built-in timer of about 1 and 1/2 hours max, because when the cards run out, game over!
Fluxx – A card game that is really easy to learn, because it starts with two rules: pick up a card, and play a card. The cards you play change the rules! So you literally learn as you go. In addition, you can change the rules so the objective to win is different. This is especially fun for the less strategy-minded players, as it’s really just a quick game of chaos and goofy fun. There are several different kinds too, from Monty Python to Zombie themes.
