I suspect the only reason I really knew him was thanks to The Muppet Show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWXw...

What makes it mid for you?

I feel like now, 4 years hence, the crest of the wave has broken on Ark Nova so I'm looking for real-talk from folks who have had a chance to stew on it for a while.

That's a good point... plus it's a Canadian game. There aren't too many of those!

I know! In terms of family style games. I own Catacombs. Thinking about trading for Arnak.

That's good to hear. Previous versions were almost unanimously panned for being difficult to understand. I play my fair share of heavy and complicated games, but some fundamental concepts in FoF were eluding me. I may try again!

I owned a copy of the 1st edition and was disappointed by the learning experience. I struggled around radio communication and the concept of the Battalian HQ. I traded it away, but I've been thinking about Deluxe. Sounds like it improves and clarifies the learning experience.

Thank goodness I was worried this one might be too captivating.

Every time I pull of Castles of Burgundy I think to myself... "Geez this is good. Why don't we play this more?"

Yup I've got it on preorder through Bliss as well, and it will come along with the new edition of Lords Of Vegas, and I will vanish from the public eye for a few weeks. :)
