"The back cover describes it as ‘the indispensable book on the social power and meaning of sex and love.’ Who wouldn’t want to read that?”"

"I’d bring James Baldwin’s evergreen “The Fire Next Time,” to my island to remember how elegantly language can portray ferocity, honesty, and uncompromising social criticism."

Dude! This movie just showed the creepiness of what sharing all your info could do. I participate in social media but I limit what I share!

"A great social novel that feels shockingly contemporary as it confronts ideas of class. (Also, it must be said that Wharton’s novels are so deeply pleasurable.)"

"It has recipes in it, but it also talks about the social and racial history of soul food. It inspired my 200-day run with vegetarianism."

My favorite game!
I love M:TG! It allows each person to be creative in deck building and offers a great set of mechanics. It's definitely one of those "play quite a few times to get it" kind of thing but most of all it is the social aspect that draws me in.

Akward (448 KP) rated BANG! in Tabletop Games

Jul 20, 2018  
BANG!
BANG!
2002 | American West, Bluff, Card Game, Deduction, Fighting
Bang is social deduction, for people who don't like social deduction. It becomes fairly obvious early on who is on which team, and that might be something that some people like. Beyond the first round, there is virtually no lieing.

Thankfully, the game makes up for this with the other mechanics. As long as you have the expansions, there is enough variety for the game to be fun. Without the expansions, the cards are very bland.

Speaking of expansions, the High Noon expansion is necessary if you want to play more than one game. It adds variety to each round, and is actually what differentiates Bang from other social deduction games for us.

Overall, if you are looking for a social deduction game, this is probably not what you want. But we still find the game is fun, and does occasionally make it to our table.
