bboomslang on Do you believe in infinite replayability? If so, which game convinced you?
As others, probably my 9 years of chess playing made me see replayability different from others. I don’t play chess anymore, so probably it isn’t exactly infinite, but if I can play a game without expansions for 9 years every few days, it is high enoug…

Apocrypha will come out next year from the guys who made PACG for Paizo. It puts a similar game in a horror context.
bboomslang on Tom Vasel does The Gallerist
It is slowly raising to my top solo games – the solo mode really works well and the game play itself is quite smooth after a few practice rounds. There IS a lot going on, because every little thing provides different ways to produce money, eiter immedi…
