Red Otter (340 KP) rated Terraforming Mars: Prelude in Tabletop Games

Terraforming Mars: Prelude

2018 | Science Fiction, Space

9.2

(5 Ratings)

Tabletop Game Rating

Prelude is my personal favourite of the Terraforming Mars expansions. It adds a few new cards ands corporations, but most importantly it adds a new starting bonus called preludes. You pick 2 from 4 dealt to you. These can be anything from drawing cards to free terraforming to additional starting resources and production and take the often slow beginning and ratchet it up a few notches. It allows for even more molding and kickstarting of your engine and makes the game flow smoother.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2379 KP) rated The Trouble with Tulip (Smart Chick Mysteries #1) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Jo Tulip is called on her wedding day to visit a crime scene. The victim is a fan of Jo's household hints column. When her personal life goes south, Jo begins her own investigation into the murder. Can she figure out what happened? The book overcame a slow start to grab me. By the end, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.

This is one of my favorite apps. Its a great way to keep track of books you've read, want to read, currently reading. The annual reading challenge lets you keep track of the books you've read year over year and lets you set a personal goal. I literally can't say enough about how great this app is.

Book Rating

A bit of a personal eye-opener!

This isn’t my usual type of book at all, but I’m glad I read it - very entertaining and fast paced. It did require a bit of concentration with all of the intrigue, back story, twists and turns, but I think I ‘got it’ in the end! I can’t say as I’ve ever really read a book based on espionage before, but thanks to The Pigeonhole (again!) I tried it and I liked it.

A different zombie film

I just watched this for a second time and I still think it's a pretty good zombie film. Good actors and a guest appearance by Bill Murray.
It's not your typical zombie film, there is a definite lack of zombies and a focus on the personal and relationships during the apocalypse, with humour. It does make a nice change.

My favourite quote I sthat we've gone from "mad cow, mad human, mad zombie"

Better Than It Should Be

This is a remake of a remake or a remake and yet there's something new here and something that can be enjoyed by fans of the original(s), or newcomers alike. This Invisible Man is a personal story of abuse, gaslighting and escaping from that, making it a modern story. It's easy to pass this one up but I would recommend it.
