What board games are you BUYING?

The Runaways had like 19 bass players, so this was bound to happen.

My Kickstarter for Worms - the board game just arrived! Looking forward to checking it out.

I don't normally enjoy filler games, because the ratio of play time to setup/rules explanation time is usually not great. And also because there tends to be minimal sense of theme or narrative or strategy or interesting decisions to make. However, I decided to buy This Game is KILLER, based on Charlie Theel's recent and enthusiastic review. I always appreciate Charlie's thoughtful reviews, even though our taste in games is somewhat different, and this seems like a thriller of a filler. A fast character elimination game that is a little semi-co-op and very nasty, with just enough components to convey that it is a bughunt (Alien/Aliens) sort of game. In fact, it seems to match up particularly well the recent Alien: Romulus movie more than any other entry in the Alien franchise. This Game is KILLER seems ideal for my upcoming day of Halloween board games that I host every October.
