Piraten!

I spent the weekend with David at Orycon, Oregon's SF convention. It was pretty good, there were good panels and bad. Being the impulse shopper that I am I picked up Zombie Fluxx and Pirates of the Cursed Seas. It's my first table-top card game, but the awesome thing about this one is you make the little ships! They're made out of the same thing as a credit card, so they're durable, and you get to move them around the table, battle, collect treasure, and have fun. If you lose a mast you have to physically take it off.
David and I both picked up a starter pack, so we have a decent armada already. I've never played table-tops before, because I considered them a money sink hole and a plateau of nerdom I didn't want to approach. But it was reasonably priced and appealed to my inner Lego child so I caved. Gonna get a game going on the dining room table tonight, should be fun!
