So, in the game we played, I had all the blue monopolies first, Baltic, Mediterranean, Oriental, Vermont, Connecticut and he had the orange. Then I got the reds but by the time I did, he had bankrupted me just on the oranges with houses and then hotels. The blues didn't help at all and it took too long to build up the reds because of that. But yeah, that corner around Free Parking seems to be the best spot on the board. Don't waste your money on Boardwalk, ha ha. 

I wish I could finish the first one, but the platform segments are really not great and frustrate me too much. Control issues, I think. I'll keep going back to it every so often though because I love the concept so much and the art style. 

Yes, for the most part. I looked up prices on ebay to see if I could sell a complete basic 32 figure collection for any particular game ('cause I have all those), but they are still not worth much. Only a few figures that were very rare because they were giveaways at conventions or whatnot are worth anything and I don't have any of those. 

I think his work is sometimes called "magical-realism". I find his novels sometimes very frustrating because I can't tell what's fantasitcal and what's real. But, I'm going to read more of his work because I want to figure out what he's doing exactly. I've read the "Rat Trilogy" (his first three books) but nothing else yet. 

I love Wargroove soooo much, even though it gets difficult. I was just thinking about it the other day. I should take another shot at it. 

ooo, I just downloaded TinyKin from Game Pass because I saw Pikmin-like gameplay in the trailer. I might get to it tomorrow - can't wait to try it out. 

Super Robot Wars seems like a series I could get into. 

I want to get back to it, but lately I've been feeling overwelmed by complex games. I always get that way when life gets somewhat stressful. 

Cool. I'd have to go back to the novel to check, but I think Murakami's Space Ship table is different. I seem to remember his back story for the table is very different from this real one. Maybe he mixed elements of the real table with his fabrication for the story. Seems like something he would do. I'm just glad an actual Space Ship named table exists. Maybe I can find it on that Williams collection I have. 

I didn't know that. Now I'm going to have to look and see which one I have. 

I wonder if there will be an active community of original games made with the free game engine you can download.
