This was one of my favorite board games as a kid. I remember some of the names of the boat launch areas were funny. I also loved loved fishing with my family which is partly why I enjoyed this game so much.

Mar 9, 2018
Another kids book. Henry wants to go fishing with his father, but he has to keep his dog Ribsy out of trouble so he can go. Wonderful characters and very real to life situations, just funnier. The chapter "Ramona and the P.T.A." still kills me.

Fishing Theme (1 more)
Board Art is nice.
Very Luck based and Punishing, but could be fun with some rules tweaks....
Here's the rules I would tweak. You can run home and stash fish so that they can't be lost which creates a push your luck mechanism. You can also have a maximum number of fish to hold, therefore you can try to upgrade once you've hit your limit and release the smaller fish which would be thematic as well. There is clearly a love of fishing, but not a love of fun in the game as it currently stands. Should've gone through another round of playtesting without the designers friends to see the flaws. but the art on the board is beautiful and this should be a more fun game. I'd love to see a modern designer take this on.

Sometimes incosistent difficulty level
Battle Chasers is a great game and great RPG. I love the rich characters and their background. The art style makes this whole experience beautiful. The story,I have not completed it yet, has captured me and I can’t wait to see where it goes

Awix (3310 KP) rated Godzilla Raids Again (1955) in Movies
Jun 1, 2019 (Updated Jun 1, 2019)
Second Godzilla movie (and the last in black and white) hits on the idea that would sustain the franchise for decades to come (monster wrestling!) but doesn't quite perfect it. Two pilots in the fishing industry discover a second Godzilla has appeared, along with another monster, Angilas. With the secret of the weapon used to destroy the first Godzilla lost forever, it's thinking caps on for the government and armed forces...
The movie starts with pace and energy, even if it doesn't really have the intensity or powerful subtext of the original film. The city-flattening clash between Godzilla and Angilas comes relatively early on, though, and its impact is lessened somewhat by the fact it's arguably filmed at the wrong speed. After this comes a long and honestly dull soap opera subplot about the workers and management of a fishing company affected by Godzilla's attack, before we come to a protracted and quite laborious climax. Obviously of interest to fans of the series, but it really misses the presence of Ishiro Honda and Akira Ifukube as director and composer. Not a great or even particularly good film, but an important one in monster movie history.
