Erika (17788 KP) rated The Sims 4 in Video Games
Nov 11, 2020
I purchased this around April of 2020; I finally gave in. I've been playing The Sims for years, of course, starting with Simcity at age 7 or so.
The base game is less than stellar. While I the graphics are better than The Sims 3, I feel like there's less content in the base. You have to purchase the expansion and game packs so you have more to do. Great from a money-making perspective for EA, not great for the Simmer.

A massive, gorgeous new area (2 more)
More focused story
Improved animations
For those who hate open-ended games, fast travel points and simple navigation can keep you on the beaten path, if desired. With more content in this fantastic expansion than other entire games, The Frozen Wilds is a must-buy, can’t-miss experience.

Great family game
Been playing this game for the last year now with the family have a few expansion packs to go along with it. Trying to out play and build the biggest city or longest road whilst trying to stop your opposition is great fun. The peices are very well made and the quality is excellent its simple and easy to play and game play can last a long time one of the best out there..
Board Game News (72 KP) rated Small World Sky: Islands in Tabletop Games
Sep 30, 2020
The Sky islands are a small, but cool adition to the game. Makes the game even tighter and more competative. (1 more)
7 new races and 7 new Special Powers are generous compared to some other expansions.
This expansion is probably the best one up to date. 7 new races and 7 new special powers, most of them interesting. The Sky Islands and their accesspoints will be fiercely competed for, which is what this game is all about.

Easy to teach new players
Quick
Fun, Quick, Easy to Learn
Coup is one of my favorite games to teach non-boardgamers. It is quick to learn, and people can beat veteran players within their first few games. Not to mention that a game can be played in less than 15 minutes, so even if players get a bad set of cards, they can start over quickly.
The classes are balanced incredibly well. The only class that is a little weak (the Ambassador), gets fixed by the expansion (Reformation).
Overall, this game has a lot of replayability, and I would highly recommend it for players both new and experienced in social deduction. You will not find a better game for the price (since it usually runs less than $10).
I would also highly recommend purchasing the expansion, Coup: Reformation, which can also be picked up for less than $10. It improves upon the base game in every way, allows for 10 players (up from 6), and allows for teams, which are very fun.

Red Otter (340 KP) rated Terraforming Mars: Hellas & Elysium in Tabletop Games
Jun 10, 2019
Terraformong Mars: Hellas and Elysium is a small expansion that is a double sided board that overlays the original board to add new terrain, awards and milestones to TM. The new placement bonuses ocean areas change up the usual optimal placements, while the awards and milestones change what an optimal engine is. It adds enough variety to the game play for it's price, but doesn't add new cards or corporations. Unfortunately, the explanation for the new awards and milestones are on a not very durable sheet, so make sure to protect it well.

Mar 21, 2018
To be fair, I did help fund this on Kickstarter (in fact it was the first time I'd ever used Kickstarter) and I was glad to pick this game to start with! I've since played it several times with different groups of friends and we all love the game. Adding in the expansions, which are amazing and quite funny, can make the game take longer (in particular the Apocalypse Expansion, as that is exactly what it was designed to do). Pick up a copy and have a blast!
Connie (244 KP) rated Cards Against Humanity in Tabletop Games
Jun 14, 2018
This is a game best played with people who aren't easily offended, as it quickly goes downhill into dirty or rude hilarity. Personally, I find this to be an outstanding drinking game, and love breaking it out at parties because everything is somehow funnier that way.
I love that you can actually print a free game right from the website (they claim the cost is about $10 in paper and ink) so if you can't afford it, you can make your own.
Some of the expansion packs are hilarious as well!

The book is good, but the movie is better
A rare case where the movie is better than the book. I like the changes they made, especially Lex, who in the book is not only brat, which I could handle, but she's stupid as f*** too. I don't think most eight-year-olds are quite this idiotic. Otherwise, it's a good book and I did enjoy the information that expanded onto what the movie was limited to provide.

Short gameplay
I won this game in a Smashbomb giveaway and m my family has really enjoyed playing it. It's easily adaptable between 2 and 4 players. We laugh about the cards and have a great time.
Gameplay is short enough to hold the attention of my kids. They don't even get upset when they lose like they do with other games. It's a new favorite for sure. The only down side is that i wish the deck was just a little bigger... but I can always buy the expansion.
