Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.
Rules:
- Play nicely with others here.
- Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
- Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

"oh and there's that one thing I forgot to explain earlier, there is an exception, (...) so you may not do what you just did." So that's just ruining MY WHOLE FREAKING STRATEGY DUDE and it is almost endgame.
Even worse: You know the rules, but you still have to listen to a long, slow and bad explanation of them over and over again.
On top of that, you have somebody else cutting in to add highly specific details about certain rule exceptions, and somebody else who can't stop talking about the last time they played.
Huh. So lawyers go to hell and rules lawyers run hell.
Let start with "The Campaign for North Africa: The Desert War 1940-43"
