Social Gaming: Chaos in the Old World
This one really took me by surprise and is now quickly becoming a regular game with us. It really took some convincing to get me into this game (sounds familiar to my own struggles getting others into my games), but I'm glad I did. In this game, heroes are more of an inconvenience than anything else. Instead, you all are playing 4 dark gods all trying to corrupt the world in your own ways. Each god tries to win by different means, so players can really get into character here. Although the game takes up very few turns, those turns can take a very long time to set up (especially when I'm over-analyzing everything). Players can win either by amassing lots of points from domination & corruption or just improving themselves to perfection. It's rather pricey at $60, but considering I paid about that much for Pandemic with On the Brink, I don't feel so bad about it.
