Not as good as the book
Ready player one was decent, but the book was so much better. If I keep writing, this will end up as a comparison of what the book was that the movie wasn't. I don't want to do that. It was good and enjoyable but you may feel its somewhat lacking. Possibly due to the epic storyline thats crammed into a 2 hour movie. Still i would recommend you see it. Just read the book after. ?

This was a quick little game. Since it is a two-player, my friend and I played it while our DM put the last few touches on a one-off D&D campaign. It took about 20 minutes from learning to play to checking the final scores. I enjoyed the puzzle aspect of the game, though I don't always have the spatial awareness to determine how a piece would fit on my board so my piece of patchwork had many holes!

Anyone follow Box Office Mojo? Great place to get all the latest box office info.

Looks like March mostly was a dismal failure with A Wrinkle in Time, Pacific Rim 2, Tomb Raider and even Ready Player One turning out to be disappointments.


If you are a non Star Wars/Marvel property, things are not looking good for you.


The only pleasant surprise lately (other than Black Panther of course) has been the new Jumanji. Who would've thought film would have done over $400 million in the US alone.


What do you think?

2018 | Sci-Fi
As I’ve said before, I’m obsessed with Ready Player One. That said the movie isn’t the greatest piece. It also fails to muster the same nostalgic feeling I got when reading the book (no debate on book over movie please, I’ve had that conversation) so I am less vested in the on screen characters. That said, the characterisation of some key characters is good enough to keep me coming back for more, shame some of the key scenes never got shot. FYI Wil Wheaton reads the audiobook and that’s always a good deal.

Almost nothing stays yours.
Good light dice game. Best with more.
This was a cute game. Feels like an auction game as players are simultaneously selecting a dice and going after a certain outcome. But if more than one person is going for it. It will probably cost more. Is it worth it? I enjoyed my play. I’d play again but I’m not sprinting to play again.

4 player game is ~3 hours (longer with AP) but it's much faster than Firefly. (0 more)
A faster 'Verse
Be a bounty hunter, a smuggler, or somewhere in between. It's all about getting the right ship and crew for the right job. With chatacters from the comics, clone wars cartoon, and movies you are bound to find one you like.
It's fairly rules light and easy to understand.
I have played this four times now and have played differently each time based on conditions i encountered.

Easy and enjoyable but slightly passable
The game is fun and fast but for me doesn't have too much replay value. 4 players go through a bidding process to determine how difficult a dungeon will be and then one player is forced to play through that dungeon with some character stats and items. The 4 characters are ok and the monsters are fine (I do enjoy the art) but it can become a little repetitive. Its a nice little game but it certainly won't be the only game you want to play.
