But I think th...Surely Chance 'n' Counters? But I think the ampersand is fine - board games are about chance, and about counters. And when you say it it sounds a bit like 'chance encounters'. <br />I'll stop here. Though I need to point out that I didn't make the vaguely Wildean quip about every night being singles night - unless I was so drunk I forgot how witty I am.<br /><br />I liked Fools Gold a lot - in visual terms so much so that I tracked down the graphic designer online to offer my praise. It's definitely my kind of game. There's lots of luck, as we all said on the night, but the scope for manipulating yourself into pole position on each track is really nice. <br /><br />The silt cards remind me of Thebes (though I've only played the tomb raiders version) - nicely thematic to be sifting out the precious stuff from all the crap. I guess it's feasible that there may be nothing left in some of the decks by the final rounds, something that didn't occur to me at the time. <br /><br />Yeah I like Dead Man's Chest too, and remain consistently confused by the rules.<br /><br />Great to play Pairs again too, feels like it's been a long time!Joe Bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01710555098761136919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-59433391004199136772016-06-22T23:36:16.836+01:002016-06-22T23:36:16.836+01:00It should be Chance 'n Counters.

Fool's Gold was great again. I love the luck-pushing! <br /><br />Why is Dead Man's Chest so unintuitive!? It's weird. Good game though.
