Means it makes us look like Flaster Siskin when you see us, and everything that then would follow ..... :woohoo:

I played my first 3 games of CE yesterday and I have to say that it's fantastic. I guess we have yet to learn much as our games took no longer than 30 minutes with 5 players but everyone loved it. This is the game we have been waiting for - full of negotiation, conflict and bluffing, playable in 2 hours and not requiring much space. We love Dune but it's hard to gather 6 ppl for 4 hours and my homemade map is too big to fit on the pub-table. CE just fills this gap. Can't wait to play again and so do my friends.

Nice. It's good to hear someone new enjoying the game rather than another case of "omgz I read the rules and it looked lame so I played Dominion instead"

I'd guess everyone was too generous with their alliance invitations; that's the most common thing I see with newcomers to CE. It really speeds the game up when two or three players are all scoring on a single encounter.

But who cares, really? You had fun, and it sounds like you want to go back for more. That's all that matters. All of the subtleties of the game will occur to you and your group with just a few more plays.

Our group caught on to that aspect quickly during my first turn, when I invited everybody except the guy in the lead to ally with me on an attack. Of course, I remembered my tactics from the early days of the game.

Exactly! :laugh: We played another game yesterday and we were more careful about alliances. The game lasted roughly an hour and we had a blast again. I managed to win as a zombie (my favourite alien so far) but it was very close and the game was full of tension. My group loves it and is very passionate about it, there is so much to discover.
