Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated The Master (The Gameshouse, #3) in Books
Apr 27, 2018
The third story The Master ties the other two together in the ultimate game. The final game, the Great Game. A great player, known only by the name Silver, challenges the Gamesmaster, the woman all in white behind a veil, who is in charge of the Gameshouse. The doors of the Gameshouse shut and both players use every piece they have to play a giant game of chess with the world. The winner will have the rights to the Gameshouse. The loser dies. But Silver is not a normal player. Silver has a different goal for the outcome. And when the last move comes to play, he has to make a choice. And so he leaves that choice up to the one thing he doesn’t have control over. Luck. And the world goes on.

Endless adventure (1 more)
Team work
The best ever up-to-4-player-Offline-Role-Playing-Game
This is easily one of the best tabletop games out there. Generally, I prefer games that does not heavily rely on the element of luck (Terra Mystica, Puerto Rico, etc), and rather rely on strategy. I find GloomHaven to be a good mix of both, it promotes good team work and understanding of players' strengths and weaknesses. The extensive content allows the game to go on and on and on for as long as you want to explore the world of GloomHaven. The scenario book makes me giddy with joy. The game also allows you to play any combination of 2, 3, or 4 player scenarios, so if you can't get all of your people together, fret not, level a character you want, or try a different one, the possibilities are endless!!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Beautiful Stranger (Beautiful Bastard, #2) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
3.5 stars.
I was enjoying this for the first 60% or so but then it started to annoy me how they were dragging it all out. Why couldn't they just admit they wanted more from each other? Why couldn't they just get together?!
It took until about the 85% mark for me to get into it again and with it being on Scribd that I read this, it ended at the 91% so it was pretty close to the end when everything was working out and the HEA was within reach.
I will be reading the next book, [b:Beautiful Player|17831614|Beautiful Player (Beautiful Bastard, #3)|Christina Lauren|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1375285002s/17831614.jpg|24948167], at some point when I get back off holiday as it's part of a Reading list that I'm working through on BookLikes: http://booklikes.com/apps/reading-lists/146/books-to-fall-in-love-with

Red Otter (340 KP) rated Gaia Project in Tabletop Games
Aug 20, 2019
Gaia Project is one of the pillars of the Euro-style games. It's an iteration/retheming of Terra Mystica, changing from fantasy to sci-fi. Every player takes a faction that follows the basic rules, but each have different preferred planets, starting bonuses, and abilities. GP follows the standard tropes of Euros in there is no take-that player interaction. You can block people off, use a once-per-round action before them. But you won't be able to directly attack them of course.
Every game is different. The Round staring bonus, round scoring bonus, layout of technologies to research, and even the map differ from game to game, an improvement upon Terra mystica.
This is a game that rewards multiple playthroughs, by understanding your factions strengths, you can focus on a multitude of ways to score, ensuring that Evey path to victory is a little bit different.
