[Chrono] The Unwanted Situation while Selling an Artifact
Here's a Chrononauts rules conundrum that came up at the Looney Lounge. I have two artifacts in front of me, so I decide to Sell an Artifact (without the bonus). Discarding my Mona Lisa, I then…Continue

Treat the draw pile as the discard pile, and the discard pile as the draw pile. When you draw a card, take the top (face-up) card from the discard pile. When you discard a card, put it face-down on…Continue

Where does the Chrononauts FAQ live these days? Somebody on BoardGameGeek is looking for it, and even I can't find it! Last time I checked, it was on the Rabbit Wiki.Continue

Monochrome Chess!

Ryan Hackel posted a discussion[Chrono] The Unwanted Situation while Selling an Artifact
Here's a Chrononauts rules conundrum that came up at the Looney Lounge. I have two artifacts in front of me, so I decide to Sell an Artifact (without the bonus). Discarding my Mona Lisa, I then draw two... the 1991' patch and another Sell Artifact. I look down at my one remaining Artifact, a Mona Lisa forgery which I need for my Cheaters Sometimes Win mission. I need this forgery for my mission, and I'd rather not part with it. But 1991 has not been paradoxed, so the 1991' patch is…See More

IceDice with my niece and nephew
I played IceDice with my niece and nephew, who are 4 and 6 years old, respectively. They had no trouble at all learning the game, though my niece did have some difficulty matching the size die with the pyramid sizes. Both kids had a roller coaster ride of fun with IceDice. Their eyes glowed with the thrill of victory (getting to steal someone else's pyramid) and the agony of defeat (going bust when pushing for the Rainbow bonus). My nephew even won the game (which I had to point out to…

Antoine Richard said… - I was not aware of that aluminium pyramid. What is the idea of it? Like i told you before, i choose a map showing the states where slavery was permited. It is apparent that the distribution of the slaves was not equaly distributed in the states. On your old map we can see that there was plenty of slaves in the valley of the missisipi, in and around the state of Virginia. Anyway, my firts idea when i showed part of your starship captains map was to make a mirror between the number of captains in the north and in the south, and the johnny rebs are still outnumbered like during the civil war. Now i think we better lay it down before the Looneys told us that we are out of the main subject here.
