I have had Botox from Dr. M the last several times that it was needed. My results were exactly what I was looking for, while still looking natural. He makes his procedures seem so effortless.

We were fully expecting to have this free episode available for anybody who purchased the Jurassic Park Trilogy on Blu-ray on the 15'th, however, late in the day, we discovered an issue that we felt could impact your enjoyment of the game and decided to slightly delay its release.
I apologize for the delay, and please know that this is a top priority for us right now. We want you to play the game as much as you want to play it, and we will make it available to you as soon as humanly possible.

Customer comments:
Food so so. I would say not all dishes are nice.
Customer comments:
Food is good except cream of mango with sago & pomelo which is too creamy.
Customer comments:
I am very satisfied with the customer service and they arrived earlier to get the set up ready by the time specified. Very good time management. Their food that came warm.Warmers really kept the food warm throughout. Thumb up the effort were put in from the decorations, especially the fake flower n skirting. Portion for 30pax is sufficient. Will order again for future occassion.
Customer comments:
Overall, the food and setup was fantastic. They even had CNY decorations to go with the setup. The main issue I had was that both the chicken and duck were served whole. It was very troublesome to cut it on our own, even with the utensils provided. I would have preferred a lesser hassle option.
Pan Seared Fish Fillet -turned soggy.
Prawns - it was nice but i had a lot of leftovers because guests didn't want to dirty their hands to de-shell the prawns.
Cream of Mango with Sago and Pomelo - again, taste is good... but I don't recall seeing pomelo bits.
Customer comments:
Both the chicken and duck require us to cut into smaller pieces before consumption. Even though relevant utensil were provided, i find it a chore to do the cutting. No doubt the display was good when a whole chicken is place in the container, maybe i alternative option which does not require cutting in the future would suit the consumer.
The delivery was punctual.
The setup was fast and it comes with the CNY decoration which was quite impressive for a buffet catering.
The feedback from the consumer was that the Signature Laksa taste great.
Customer comments:
In general food was nice, however the drinks was not enough for my guests.
Customer comments:
My colleagues were very happy with the food served. Caterer were very understanding and helpful. I had requested for additional order and they were willing to assist the additional order.
Friendly staff, reasonable price!
Would definitely order from them again!
Customer comments:
Prompt service - food arrived on time
Portions could have been better -- meant to be for 10 to 12 pax -- but that is only if you are a very small eater
Overall quality of food was good though
Customer comments:
Food on general is not salty other than the grilled sausage platter. Too many grilled sausage for a party of 10 pax. Instead some grilled fish combination as excessive meat items.
Customer comments:
Food was unexpectedly awesome...
Although Shepherd's Pie was a different style from mine, its still taste good...

I am an advertising creative director/writer as well as a poet and photographer. I enjoy sharing my incredible city and offering my beautiful apartment to international travelers who prefer experiencing Jerusalem from the inside rather than from a hotel.
My apartment is available in its entirety for a minimum 5 day stay or as a B&B (private room with en suite designer bath, plus use of living room and balcony) with a minimum two day stay, light breakfast included.
Jacob has completed online and offline ID verification.
My wife and I spent our wedding anniversary at Jacob's place. Jacob's apartment is very comfortable and well equipped. Jacob is a helpful and non intrusive host, even while residing in the same apartment while we were there. We really enjoyed our stay, the quiet, the comfort, the great geographic placing. We didn't touch the car for our whole stay! The apartment has an overwhelming choice of music cd's to choose from and a great audio system. This was SO much better than a hotel. A holiday with a positive homely feeling. Thank-you very much.
This was my first experience with AirBNB and it was a great one. The apartment was clean. The communications with Jacob were prompt, reliable, and comprehensive. There were instructions and and book of tips at the apartment. And everything worked well. Unfortunately, Jacob was out of the country during out trip and we did not get to meet him. He arranged for a friend to let us in and then check us out at the end of the week. This was carefully communicated so it was not a surprise. The apartment location was wonderful. Close to Baka, German Colony, the recently renovated old train station (plenty of restaurants/coffee shops), and the Old City. My only caution...Gihon is a short and very steep street and the apartment is up one flight of steps. It did not create a problem for us but someone who is elderly could be challenged by it. I would not hesitate to rent this apartment again.
We three (a couple and one adult relative) enjoyed a wonderful stay at this well-furnished and efficient apartment in late December. Jacob went over everything with us and left a complete manual as well. Also, he was readily available online if we needed help. The apartment afforded us quiet comfortable nights, plenty of heat and hot water, reliable wifi, all we needed in the kitchen, and a washing machine/dryer (or drying outside on the balcony). The nearby restored Train Station has restaurants open on the Sabbath, and there was a handy supermarket nearby as well. A couple notes: a) We learned through (website hidden) Maps that the Arab buses, if flagged, will stop at the Israeli bus stops and take you right to Jaffa or Damascus gates. We used these all the time to get to and from the Old City rather than having to go through the new city first or climbing the hills. b) We received only one set of keys. We were OK with this, but it did require some pre-planning the few times we separated since we did not have working cell phones with us. As for experiencing Jerusalem, we found the free two hour tour from Jaffa Gate to be very useful our first day. And don't miss the Machane Yehuda market or the Israel Museum. We were very happy with this apartment and would recommend it to anyone who wants a great place to stay in Jerusalem.
We, two adult couples, stayed eight nights in May in Jacob's apartment. The neighborhood is beautiful and the apartment was very comfortable. We walked easily to the old city and the center. When we rented a car for out-of-Jerualsem trips, there was a reserved parking spot. Jacob was a more-than-accomodating host, assisting us with several traveller's-type problems.When we return to Jerusalem, this is the first place we will check for availability.
My 2 teenage children and I had a wonderful stay at Jacob's apartment for the week we were in Jerusalem! It's roomy, clean and very comfortable. We felt very much at home there. We loved being able to walk into the Old City within 20-ish minutes. It was also convenient to always have parking available when we had to use our car. The apartment is very bright and cheerful. It's organized and easy to live in. It was nice having a balcony as well. I would definitely stay at Jacob's apartment again!
Jacob's space is immaculate, comfortable and really made our trip feel special. It was a clean and homely haven to come back to after our hectic days out in the Old City. Jacob was a great communicator and thoroughly organized as a host. I highly recommend a stay at Jacob's place - if only for the amazing shower!
My boyfriend Federico and I stayed at Jacob's house three nights. The house is very cozy and clean with a big bathroom and the breakfast plentiful and tempting. Jacob was a perfect host: kind, helpful and actually our experience in Jerusalem wouldn't be so marvellous without his advices and his stories. Thanks to Jacob, our trip became also an extraordinary experience of life!
Me and my family had a wonderful time!!! The apartment was marvelous and Jacob the host a great guy!!! Will highly recommend it to anyone going to Jerusalem it is close to the old city and a very short walk to a very nice street full of shops, restaurants and super market. Thanks Again Jacob!
It was my first time on Airbnb, looking for a place to stay for my parents in Jerusalem. And it turned out with Jacob's house being the perfect experience for my parents. They found the house beautiful, stylish and spotless cleaned and Jacob a very nice and careful host. That is why they booked for two consecutive times and plan to be back there next time they ll visit me in Jerusalem, provided that I will live still in the area! Abu tur is an upscale neighbourough, ideal for a nice accomodation in the city, tough it is a 20 minutes walk+bus ride to the tourist attractions.
We enjoyed staying at Jacob's apartment -- location convenient to the Old City and lots of restaurants in the New City, comfortable bedroom (with a great shower) and very helpful, informative host. I would definitely return and recommend Jacob's to friends and family.
Jacob was ideal guest. The communcation was perfect, he informed me about the changes. He left the flat clean and tidy. He is highly recommended guest.
I did not have the chance to meet Jacob, as he arrived late at night. He was so thoughtful that he let his friend living nearby pick up the keys. That was very helpful.
It was a pleasure to host Jacob. Clean, neat and easy to communicate.
Although I didn't meet Jacob in person, everything about his stay went perfectly. He communicated well regarding getting into the building, and was easy-going and flexible about last-minute changes in my schedule. I returned on the day Jacob left, and found the room as clean as I'd left it for him. Thank you, Jacob. I'd highly recommend having Jacob stay as your guest.
The apartment is smartly designed, furnished - an elegant retreat from Jerusalem's hustle. Highly recommended.
JJ is a close friend who's integrity, sense of design and impeccable taste has won my total respect on all fronts. Dealing with JJ has always been a pleasurable and uplifting experience. I recommend him highly!!
JJ's apartment will add the finishing touch to your stay in Jerusalem with its bright, southern exposure and beautiful views situated in a lovely, quiet and safe neighborhood a two minute walk away from a supermarket and a 24-hour corner store. The tasteful, modern Italian style provides a warm and comfortable home-coming at the end of the day, with every modern convenience at your disposal. You can walk to a newly constructed jogging path in three minutes, the great restaurants on Emek Refa'im in five minutes, and the Old City in about 15 minutes. Every time I called for a cab, it arrived at the front door in less than five minutes. For a B&B stay, JJ is great host who is completely knowledgeable about Judaism and Israel and is always helpful and eager to please.
JJ's flat is a home away from home, and you feel instantly welcome. There is plenty of light and space to breathe in and forget that you traveled to get there. True to JJ's style, you feel comfortable and relaxed, as you do in JJ's company. He is a dependable, long time friend and has been an amazing, relaxed but helpful host on several occasions. It is a treat to spend time with a person who is not only knowledgeable about his surroundings or the world at large, but also delivers his end of every conversation with a brilliant sense of humor.
JJ's apartment is comfortable, immaculate and well appointed in a beautiful, serene and verdant neighborhood of Jerusalem with stunning views and easy access, by foot or public transportation, to the center of the city and to the popular nightlife locales. JJ is a charming host, responsive and responsible with great knowledge of ancient and modern Jerusalem and will be an infinite source of information. Great apartment, superior location, terrific host.
JacobGross has been a close friend of mine for over thirty years. One of Jacob's many qualities is his generosity with his friends as well as friends of friends. His ability to make you feel comfortable in his home is amazing. He is a generous host, organized and has impeccable taste as well as a high standard of order and cleanliness, which, in my case is important. A particular example is a party Jacob was hosting a few years ago in which I brought my niece along. She was half our age and didn't know anyone else at the party. Jacob's skill in taking an interest in her and introducing her around made my niece feel wonderful. Anyone meeting Jacob will have benefitted and will be enriched by that continued association.
Having been the real state broker who sold to Jacob this incredible apartment and having seen the ethics by with which he carries out his business transactions, you are assured that your stay in Jerusalem at his B&B will be exactly, if not more, than what you expect. His wit and breadth of knowledge will also keep you entertained but only upon your demand. The location could not be better with town center and the old city in walking distance and bus lines easily accessible. Have a fabulous stay with him.You are sure to become repeat customers!
When you stay in JJ's beautifully designed apartment you feel as if you are in two places at once: in the heart of a capital city and in the middle of the countryside! You can sleep with the windows open and wake - not to traffic - but to birdsong in the trees, a fresh breeze, and a beautiful view from the balcony across the valley. This is a spotlessly clean, uncluttered space, flooded with the golden light of Jerusalem. Where better?
As I was about to write this Bob Dylan and The Band came on the radio with "The Weight"! Had they known about JJ's apartment in Jerusalem they would have found a great apartment and a wonderful location (but probably would have never written the song)!
I am delighted to recommend Jacob G (or "JJ", as I know him) as a host and his beautiful apartment as a very convenient and especially stylish choice for a visitor to Jerusalem. JJ can also be a valuable source of information about Jerusalem, Israel and a wide range of matters. I have spent many happy hours as JJ's guest. You will enjoy your stay.

It would be great if I couldn't hear my neighborsPosted Mar 22, 2015
Pros: It's clean, well-located and has friendly staff
Cons: It should be torn down and rebuilt with proper soundproofing
Everyone at the hotel is friendly and nice. The hotel is new and conveniently located, plus not expensive and only 30 minutes to my mother's house. This makes for a great commute. The downside is that you can hear everything happening in the hallway, your neighbor's room and outside. The blackout shades don't close all the way, so that there is a glare from the main road that the hotel is situated on. My first experience with the hotel involved listening to 2 guys sitting in the hot tub, talking at the top of their lungs. My second experience left me listening to my neighbor on speakerphone through the wall. Also, the message light on my phone was never reset so I spent the night watching the flashing red light. So, while all of the amenities are new and the staff is friendly and helpful, I can't get a good night's sleep because of the thin walls, flashing lights and unnecessary distractions.

Hotel was fine, but I think all hotels that fail to offer at least a continental breakfast free are missing the boat of prime attractions.

One night stayPosted Dec 24, 2014 on Hotels.com
We spent one night in a king whirlpool room. The room was very clean, comfortable & nicely decorated. We will definitely be returning. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was disappointing. Surf & turf(6 shrimp & some flavorless steak)was overpriced. The service was good, but food not so much. The hotel is conveniently located across from Tanger Outlet.

Really beautiful interior and large roomsPosted Dec 17, 2014

Posted Nov 24, 2014
Pros: comfort, cleanliness, hotel bar
Cons: Sound dampening in room, customer service
Location: The location was conveniently located off of 495 and within miles of several restaurants.
My most recent stay at the Hilton Riverhead was neither pleasing nor disappointing--I would regard it as fair. The hotel is conveniently located off the LIE (Hwy 495), but the entrance is accessible only if driving westbound on Old Country Road. This is a minor inconvenience, but annoying nonetheless. The hotel lobby was clean and the staff was pleasant and courteous. Upon arrival to our room, we noticed that it was located next to the staff closet. We thought this would be a good location, but to our dismay it was not as advantageous as we hoped. The biggest annoyance was that we could hear almost everything taking place in this room. Additionally, it was irksome when they used the washer since is shook the bed like in a cheap motel. When I called down to the front desk, they did not seem immensely concerned with our situation, albeit, they said that they would ask the staff to be as quite as possible. As mentioned before, my overall experience was not extremely horrible, but I would not rate the Hilton Riverhead as one of the top places to stay in that area.

Lightroom 3 Release Date?
Started Apr 1, 2010 | Discussions thread
Veteran Member • Posts: 3,347 • Gear list
"The current Lightroom 3 public beta 2 will expire on June 30, 2010."
From that you can surmise that Lightroom 3 will not be available much before the end of June

I apologize if this has been asked before, I did a search here and couldn't find an answer.
Does anyone know if a release date has been announced? I wish to purchase this program but would rather wait for (3) unless it's going to be months away. Thanks!-- hide signature --

Drop could be caused by dilution... they have authorized an additional 500k shares to unload when they are ready.FYI
It kinda looks like it could be something like that. I'm still watching. Did you play the BK bounce on F**LQ? I missed it. I started playing something else and wasn't watching close enough. There were a couple of them too. Dang it.
Where did you guys see the dillution statement?
nope, got burned pretty bad with it. left it to die or live without me. Did play the Mitk, Mrge, & JAG bounces for quite a return tho. Almost made up my losses with fu#*@ .... all in all, its been a pretty good week.

Recurring Role
How could Slade possibly watch Terra on his screen? At least when he watched Robin it was around a building, or a place where there were security cameras. But with Terra she's running in the wilderness where there are no cameras. Besides how did he know she ran away from the Titans, unless he has the tower watched...?
During the fight with Slade and Terra, the orange/red side of Slade's face seems to switch places with the black side.
During the fight with the Sladebots in the quarry, the part of Robin's cape that should be black is white in one scene.
It's unclear how Slade could've made that rock turn into diamond. It is possible, but not for a human. It takes at least 10 tons of pressure in every direction to do this. This proves that Slade's strength is beyond human.
When Terra created the whirlwind, how was she floating in the air? Also, when the storm ended, why did she and Beast Boy slowly descend to the ground instead of just dropping like they should have since Terra's powers don't allow her to levitate?
Throughout the episode, Terra's sleeves are missing from her shirt, and then come back.
In the opening, Terra is running from the giant scorpion. It's right on her tail, and all of a sudden, she is far ahead of it.
When Beast Boy skips a pebble in the water at the end, it goes a very long distance from the Tower, and we see that the water has no reflections in it. However, the next shot shows it creating ripples on the reflection of the Tower, when, had there even been a relection a few seconds ago, the rock would already have passed it.
When Beast Boy turns into a stegosaurus and drops into the group of Sladebots, his shadow is off. Once he is fully transformed and comes onto the screen, he is spinning around quickly, and judging by his speed and position, he must have been spinning the whole time. However, his shadow only shows this movement when he is on the screen.
Before Slade fights Terra, he throws an explosive into the ceiling in front of him. In the next shot, where neither Slade nor Terra have moved, the detonator explodes BEHIND him.
At the beginning, after Terra destroys the monster, the Titans group together: Raven, Cyborg, Starfire, Robin, and Beast Boy. Next shot, Cyborg and Beast Boy are the only Titans present.
After Terra destroys the scorpion monster, Cyborg's chin armor is white instead of gray.
Slade: (To Terra) I can help you, child!
Terra: You can?
Slade: Right now you are... rough around the edges. You need more than obstacle courses to overcome your problem. You need a teacher, a mentor! Come with me, Terra, and I will teach you how to shine!
Raven: (After realizing Terra uses their sink to wash her clothes, a bit furiously) Well, she seems... comfortable.
Robin: (To Terra) You mean you don't have a home?
Terra: The Earth is my home!
Beast Boy: So, what brings such a cool, little chick to our big, groovy city, huh?
Terra: I go wherever the wind takes me, you know. I get to see new places, meet new people, stop a few bad guys here and there!
Starfire: (After Terra crushed the huge scorpion) She was not in trouble...
Cyborg: She was leading it into a trap!
Slade: Run all you like, because, no matter where you go, every step brings you closer to me.
Slade: You lack control, Terra, and, when you lose control, you are more dangerous than anything I've ever seen.
Terra: Looks like I've got you.
Slade: Actually, Terra... (Throws a device with his insignia on it at the ceiling, where it sticks and starts to beep and flash red) ...I've got you. (Device explodes in a mighty blast of rocks, caving them in together)
Starfire: Curiosity abounds! Please. (leaning into Terra's face, and firing off the following questions in rapid succession) Where did you come from, how did you get here, what is your favorite color, and do you wish to be my friend?
Terra: Um... Earth, walked, red, and... sure?
Starfire: (Enthusiastically giving Terra one of her bone-crushing hugs) Oh, hello, new friend!
Terra: (Gets the breath squeezed out of her, and sounding slightly strangled) How's it goin'...?
Raven: (Seeing Terra destroy the obstacle course) We're gonna need a new obstacle course.
Beast Boy: You're the man, Terra! I mean, you're the... Way to go!
Terra: Tastes like sushi mixed with ice cream... got any more?
Starfire: Wonderful! I shall go cultivate the fungus!
Starfire: I will not let my new friend sleep in a cave of darkness!
Terra: I have a flashlight...
Cyborg: Boo-ya! New course record! Ha, ha!
Raven: Well, yeah, you're the first one to do the course.
(After defeating the giant scorpion, Terra ascends on a rising pillar of earth, and jumps off to meet the Titans, who are all staring at her in open-mouthed shock and surprise at her display of power)
Terra: (A bit cockily) What? Haven't you guys ever seen a superhero before?
Robin: I'm Robin, and we're the...
Terra: Teen Titans! Rock on! It's cool to meet you guys. I'm Terra. And you're... (names off each Titan) Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and...
Beast Boy: Boy Beast, dah! I mean, Bath Boot! Uh, no...
Terra: (Chuckles) ... Beast Boy?
(Beast Boy makes a girlish scream, turns into a turtle; Terra gets a good laugh out of this)
Terra: Dude, he's hilarious!
Beast Boy: (Sticks his head out of his shell, in midair) Hilarious? Me? Really?
(Terra smiles, and tips him a nudge, and a wink; he immediately sways and faints, complete with little pink hearts floating up everywhere)
Terra: Don't lose control... Don't lose control...
Slade: Now, Terra, how can you lose something you never had?
Slade: Impressive. Unless you were aiming for me.
Raven: I think we have a new course record.
Cyborg: (Embarassed at being beaten) I must have softened it up for her...
Raven: Everything OK?
Robin: Not sure.
In the comics, Terra was from a fictional country called Markovia, however, she speaks with an American accent.
This episode along with "How Long Is Forever", "Every Dog Has His Day", "Only Human", "Fear Itself" and "Date With Destiny" was released on DVD as Teen Titans: Fear Itself.
Opener: A girl is running away from a huge crab-like creature. The Titans attempt to rescue her, but she stop him on her own. But, unknown to the Titans and this girl, Slade was watching her as well.
In the comics, Terra was a psychopath. She hates the Titans when she first meets them. When the Titans first met her she was trying to destroy the Statue of Liberty. She went to Slade all by herself in the comics. But in the show, Slade has been watching her all the time. In the show, she looks more skinny and younger than her comic book counterpart.
Slade's interest in Terra mirrors his interest in Robin from season one.
Comic Reference: In the comics, when Raven meets Terra, she also is unsure and does not quite accept her. We will see more of this in "Betrayal" and other Terra episodes.
Terra's name comes from the Latin word meaning "Earth."
Terra's real name is Tara Markov in the comics.
This is the second time that an episode is named after the main character. The first was the episode "Mad Mod."
We learn in this episode that Terra's favorite color is red.
Villain(s): Slade.
When the Titans and Terra walk away from the desert, Starfire flies in figure eights.
Terra episode.
This episode/season arc is based on the "Judas Contract" saga.
Judas Contract: Judas, one of the 12 Apostles
This arc of the Teen Titans was named after one of Jesus Christ's Apostles, Judas. Judas was imfamous for betraying Jesus, just as Terra will betray the Titans. After the Last Supper, he led Jesus to Gethsemane and identified Jesus to the soldiers by kissing him. Judas was given 30 pieces of silver as a reward for Jesus' arrest. But Judas later had remorse for his actions and committed suicide to repent just as Terra will at the end of season 2.

I may have forgotten to tell you about GateKeeper Games' opening (a new boardgaming store in Fitzroy). They appear to have many events coming up and you can check out the details of that on their facebook page.
New and Unplayed – Feb 2015
Feb was a very slow boardgaming month for me...
- Spring Fever
- Mysterium
- Adventure Time Card Wars
- Ticket To Ride Marklin
- Spring Fever
- Ticket To Ride Marklin
So with 4 received and 2 played, that's a -2... oh that's not good start to the year.
New To Me
But as I'd played Ticket To Ride: Marklin before... only one new game for me which was Spring Fever
And it's an interesting filler bluffing game (by Friedemann Friese) the rules are super simple and it plays very quickly. And it's a cheeky kind of bluffing... you see if you can get away with lying . The artwork and theme (flowers and snails) really help with this cheekiness
Only having played it once, I'm not sure how balanced it is. Is it better to lie every time or should you pick your moments? I suspect the latter... but more play will bear this out.
New and Unplayed – Jan 2015
So it's January and the Unplayed/Aluminium Gamer challenge resets (see this post for details on how it works)
A few card games came in this month...
- Friesmatenten
- One Zero One
- Friesmatenten
- Red7
So with 2 received and 2 played, that's a net zero!
New to me
It's been a month of lying, bluffing and backstabbing...
Red7 is super quick, super clever and you should super buy it.
Coup: Guatemala 1954
I've spoken about Coup before... I'm not very good at it.
I tend to end up playing Coup at the end of the night and it's usually the worst time for me to do so (because my brain is usually fried and I forget what I'm supposed to be lying about).
So thankfully I played this early in the afternoon and it was quite entertaining.
What 1954 does is it takes the Coup roles and has multiple variations on the same type of role. You can then mix and match the variants so that each game is different to the last... it kind of makes it like Dominion where you sit down, look at what roles are on the table and try and figure out how they can best be used to get you ahead.
It also helps that you can only block a role with the same role, so it takes out that confusing "what blocks what" logic that you have to get the hang of in the original Coup.
It's not terribly available at the moment, but I'd be surprised if Indie Games and Cards don't make a version of it, because it is so much fun.
Escape: Zombie City
Having played Escape: Curse of the Temple (and enjoyed it quite a bit) I was curious to see how Zombie City would play.
And it's good, but it adds complexity without really upping the tension or fun. Am not running out to buy it, think we'll stick with Escape and maybe pick up some more expansions if we ever get bored of it.
Or Spyfaux as we were playing the print and play copy of it.
This is a party traitor game where every player is at the same location but one player is a spy who doesn't know where they are. The game goes for 8 minutes (at most). The spy can guess where they are, but if they're wrong they lose and everyone else wins. If they're right, obviously they win.
If the game lasts eight minutes every player votes on who they think is the spy (or they can do this during the 8 minutes, but it soaks up those precious seconds). If everyone agrees that one person is the spy (except one) and they're right, then they win and the spy looses.
So how does it work? The first player asks any other player a question. That player answers. They person that answers wants to give enough information to indicate that they're not the spy, but not so much information that it tells the spy where they are. The player that answered can then ask any other player (other than the player that asked them a question) a question.
It's fun and quick and fairly relaxing if you're not the spy. If you're the spy, it's incredibly tense. Not reacting the right way to an answer (or worse still asking a question that exposes themselves) can be the end of you.
Which is subtitled "We're not here to make friends"...
This is a surprisingly good game and it's rather odd that it's never managed to be translated into English. It's basically a bidding/engine building game with some bluffing thrown in.
Now, I've only played it twice, once with 2 and once with 4 players... and it's OK with 2 but much better with 4. But here's some quick thoughts on it.
It's basically a game to see who can get to forty points first (or if Step 2 ends, whoever can grab the most points).
The game is divided into two steps, the first step ending when the deck runs out, at which point the discard deck is shuffled and forms the new deck. If this deck runs out before a player gets 40 points, then the game ends and the player with the most points wins.
Each round is split into 4 phases, restocking the market, the action phase (where action and influence cards can be played), the auction phase and the income phase (where players get income based on their factories).
The bidding is interesting and different and can get quite tense. Each round 3+(player count) cards are in the market and put up for auction one at a time starting from the closest to the deck to the furthest. Players can buy as many as they like (if they can afford to do so) and passing on a card only passes on that card. If a card is not bought in that round it gets tagged as such and if it's still not bought it goes into the discard in the first step or out of the game in the second.
Interestingly you can bid more than you have (I assume this is because some of the cards let you pay less than what you bid). If you win the bid but can't pay it, you pay all your money to the bank and the auction for that card restarts without you. Did I mention that money is secret? Which is brilliant if you only have one or two Euros left (or none!) as you can try and push up someone else's bid beyond what they really should be paying.
The cards combo well together (some more easily than others) and both times we played there was at least a contest for first place.
I'm quite eager to get this back to the table again. I can't quite put my finger on what's great about this game... I think it's the bluffing/bidding that really makes it amazing... but it will be interesting to see how many times it can be played with the base set before it gets a bit stale.
I'm getting the expansion
Spartacus: A Game of Blood & Treachery
Having never seen the show, I wasn't super invested in the theme. I mean gladiators are cool and everything... er, yeah.
So blind bidding can be quite entertaining as are gladiatorial fights. Being able to setup a battle where the result will be obvious, but then turning it around with smart card play is hugely entertaining.
It's not really the sort of thing I'd want to do every week, but as an occasional Ameritrash, it's pretty good.
Oh and you get to make that Spartacus joke...
The Resistance: Hidden Agenda & Hostile Intent
I liked it, but I wouldn't play it every day.
In fact I'm pretty burnt out on The Resistance at the moment.
We with plot twists (I think that's what they're called). Basically the leader each turn draws 2 cards and gives them to the players the leader thinks they should go to. They mess with the game, allow players to look at other's roles (or show other's roles) or look at the Success/fail card that a player plays. Wasn't a fan.Just got bogged down in "that player knows something about this player, and that player knows something about this player, but they've said that they're a spy... maybe they're lying and they're a spy... or perhaps they're both spy's" and it all just got a bit to complicated.

Global Game Jam 2015 Melbourne tabletop games
Global Game Jam was held over the weekend just gone. I've grabbed all of the tabletop ones that I could find from Melbourne's.
I'm tempted to try and print and play each of them and see what they're like. Have you played any of the below (assuming you didn't also create them)? What did you think of them?
Giant Snail Will not Prevail!
A Giant Space Snail is menacing the globe! Players join forces to build the ultimate snail-eating robot and defeat the snail before it destroys all of human civilization.
March of Time
A card game about politics, timelines and temporal sabotage
Quality control is a game about needing to know what to do next and following the instructions. It's also about some other things which I hope you can discover.
This one is a PC/tabletop combo...
Yo Ho Votes
A multiplayer seafaring boardgame with democracy... and PIRATES! As a team, players must try to explore as many islands in eight days as possible in order to acquire treasure, while at the same time pursuing their own secret agendas (on their Agenda cards). The winner is the player with the most Coin at the end of the game.
YouTube Cat Video Creator Simulator 2015
A card game about creating YouTube cat videos.

New Plays
Remember, these aren't reviews or session reports... just random thoughts about games that are new plays for me.
Dead of Winter: A Crossroads Game
The zombie apocolypse has occurred and you've managed to survive until winter... but can you make it through cold of winter? It'd be a lot easier if you could trust everyone right? Well you can trust me... I'm not the traitor... I'm just taking this food because er...
Dead of Winter is a co-op game with possible traitor and personal additional goals for each player. It combines the best bits of Battlestar Galactica and Shadows over Camelot, with a play time of somewhere between the two (probably tending closer to Shadows). It also adds some nice semi-random events in the form of Crossroads cards that the player to the right of the current player draws and it has some trigger effect (eg if the player goes to a certain location) and then a choice for that player to make.
Each game there's can be a different scenario with a different main objective.. you could play through campaign style and the game nicely gives you an indication of the game length for that scenario. The scenario also determines the number of rounds and starting moral. Players generally loose if the moral or round tracks get to zero. To win (unless they are the traitor) they need to meet the objective of the scenario and also their personal goals. The traitor generally needs to have the objective loose and to meet the rest of their personal goals.
Anyway, gameplay is pretty simple. Each round there's a crisis which requires a certain amount of items or Bad Thing happens. On their turn a player can throw cards (face down) in. On their turn players can move from location to another, attack zombies (or other players), go scavenging, clean up the trash (having too much trash causes the moral track to go down), build barricades or provide food to the colony.
I enjoyed it. It has a feel closer to The Walking Dead, where it's less about the zombies and more about the people. It plays fairly quickly and the traitor can tend to hide a bit better as other players personal goals can often seem traitorous. Might be my favourite traitor game.
Kill Doctor Lucky
It's slightly better than I thought it would be. That said it still suffers from the Munchkin problem of "I'll try and stop you from winning... until I can't... and then you win". Pretty board and nice components, but pretty light stuff. The cards are nice and humourous and the theme is well done.
I'm just not sure if you'll hate the people your playing with more than you'll hate that doddering old Doctor Lucky...
Castle of Mad King Ludwig
It's nothing like Suburbia. It feels somewhat lighter... I'm not sure why. When I'm playing Suburbia I'm super focused and want to make sure that the tile I'm buying is going to be really good for me.
But when I'm playing Castle, I'm a bit more cavalier in my approach. I have a vague strategy, but I'll happily switch it out if something more interesting comes along. I'm going to glance at your castle when I'm deciding how to price things, but I'm not going to try and work out exactly how much you want things.
But that's not a bad thing. It's a nice change of pace from Suburbia, but at the end you can still look at your castle and tell a story about it and it' certainly prettier
Dungeon of Mandom
I only managed a brief play of this, just a few turns. It's got some nice push your luck and trying to get other players into a situation that screws them over. I'll admit in the couple of rounds I played I didn't get a great handle on the range of monsters that could be fought (or at least not that I remember a month and a half on), but I recall it was fun!
Five Tribes
Five tribes is simple but complex. The mancala action... super simple. Just pick up some meeples of one colour from one spot and drop them off as you move away from it. Then take the action based on the colour of the meeples and how many there are on the spot you land on. Oh and take the action of the spot. And is the spot empty now... well you can claim it.
Then trying to figure out how to make the mancala action can cause some serious Analysis Paralysis. Add to that you need to choose how much to bid in turn order, using a great little system which makes the game just zip by (where it could have got dragged down in an auction mechanic).
The djinn add another layer of complexity, but all the parts work well together and it's a good game, but oh so heavy for a Days of Wonder game. I'm sure the game went quickly, but I'm also aware that I probably dragged it out by just staring at the board wondering what to do.
And it is a little bit of a problem, that. The last player can't really determine what move they're going to make because the board state might have changed very dramatically from the start of the round. So you try and go "if this happens, then I'll do this, but if this happens, I'll do that, but if..." and you can forget what your original plan for the turn was... but it was good fun, but not the sort of game I'd want to play on a super regular basis.
I've played Firenze on Yucata a couple of times and have been very eager to pick up a physical copy. But it's slightly hard to get and slightly on the pricey side.
So I jumped at the chance to play it at MeepleCon when it was suggested. I can't remember who won or how close it was (but it felt close)... I don't think I won though.
Firenze is a game where you build towers using wooden roof peices. You do this by selecting a card from those available in the market. Each card has a certain number of tiles on it and an effect (some are good, others are bad, some are so-so). If you want to skip a card, you have to put one of your tower pieces from your supply on it (so bad cards get better). Then you can build your towers or extend the ones you already have. Each turn you must add to the tower or the authorities come and tear it down. At the end of your turn you can cash in your tower for points, but the people only want towers of certain sizes in certain colours so you have to beat out other players to fufil the contracts first.
Lovely components, not to fiddly, easy to explain, probably a lot of replayability... lots of choices but nothing that's going to cause your brain to implode... a really great game... but urgh... that price tag.
I picked this one up on the basis that I really liked the idea of Funny Friends, but the 'call a friend' stuff was very painful to understand without really much benefit. The theme and artwork was also a bit off putting for some people.
CV remedies both by being quite family friendly in terms of theme and artwork and by having a much simpler mechanic. You roll dice Yahtzee style, then use the symbols that appear to by cards which then contain symbols which mean that you can by better cards and ultimately score Victory points.
The cards are thematic, you get a great job, you get lots of money... you have twins, you get happiness, but have to give up money every turn or the authorities take your kids away (you loose the card). And it's kind of cutesy in the way that you can tell stories about your person.
But you can really get hosed by the dice, especially early on. Each dice has a side which is bad luck which can't be rerolled. Get three and you loose a card (and you really can't buy anything). I get that with a push your luck mechanic you need a method of having something blow up in the players face, but this is somewhat excessive.
In our first play I got the three bad lucks on the first two rounds which really slowed my engine building.
But... it's a little too light. It sort of feels like you're rolling dice and there's very few options as to what to do. And there's not strong enough stories to tell about the person that you're creating the CV for to make it super worthwhile.
I'm not really sure who the game is for... I suspect with two it might play better though.
Battle Merchants
In Battle Merchants you're crafting and selling items to various fantasy races that are going to war against each other. You don't really care which race wins, just so long as you make enough money... heck, you can (and should) sell weapons to everyone.
Each player starts the game with the ability to 2 craft to weapons (there are 4 in the game) and on your turn you can buy an upgrade to your weapons (or learn how to craft new weapons), take a kingdom card (which are permenant effects, immediate effects or end of game bonuses), craft a weapon or sell a weapon.
When selling a weapon you get a bonuses depending on how many times you've sold to that race in the past and if both sides of the battle that you've placed in have weapons, then the fighting icon goes up to the season track and the next spot is available to sell to in that war. Once the season track has three fighting icons the army's go to war... the players determine which weapons will win (based on the levels of craft that the players have for the weapons). Players collect weapons that they've defeated and receive money for any still on the board (maintenance contracts... weapons need to be kept sharp) and a new season begins.
After four seasons the players with the most cash (after working out end of game bonuses and selling remaining weapons off) wins. I've skimmed the rules a bit, but it's not too much more complicated than that.
The pacing feels right... It's a very quick start and each round takes slightly longer and because you only have one action per turn, there's not much downtime. There's not too many ways that players can race ahead to quickly either.
The artwork is nice and cartoony (though there's a blackmail card that might have to be removed for family games) and the theme will likely attract some players who are not often attracted to economic games.
It's always nice to have another good economic game and this is certainly one of them. There's no bidding and so it might be one that I might be able to get my wife to play...
A word of note however, Battle Merchants is a very different game for 2 as it is for 4 (and I presume 3). With 2 players you're looking to see what the dummy player (Steve) is going to do and take advantage of that by selling to the place that will then be fighting Steve's weapons. It's interesting, but it almost feels like you're ignoring the other player in doing so.

New and Unplayed November 2014
November was a kind of busy month. It started with PAXAus, followed by a trip to India and then a whole bunch of MeepleCon planning and running about. Still... I managed to pick up a few games and to play a few new ones too.

New Plays
Power Grid Deluxe: Europe/North America
This is Power Grid... but fancy!
I'm still not entirely convinced of the change of artwork in the maps, but the power plants look a lot nicer and I'm much happier that garbage has been switched out for gas... it seems like a less polouty option. And the resource tokens are lovely, as are replacing generators for houses.
The inclusion of more power plants for the starting plants is nice and the improvements to aid gameplay (such as the market being on the board, the resource refill being on cards, the turn order and so on) are great. It's strange that the player aid for the orginal was ditched. Was always useful for new players to see what happened during each phase of the game (though of course you could just nab that from the original.
North America seems to go quite quickly whereas Europe seemed to take a bit longer. Maybe that's because of the players that I was playing with at the time...
I like it. But should you buy it if you already have Power Grid? Erm... Not sure.
Fresh Fish
Played this as a two player game at PAXAus... it being a learning game probably wasn't the best to judge it on the basis of this play.
However the components are lovely and the board end up looking quite nice at the end of the game.
The bidding element of the game is straight forward and the concept of trying to grab land is fun too.
It was good, but really need to play it again. Can't help but feel that it would be even better with 3 or 4 players.
Connect 4: Dunk
A somwhat fun distraction where you're trying to get your tokens into the tower by flicking them with the Connect 4 launchers.
Probably not worth the asking price to be honest.
Creepy Critters (Cootie)
Known as Creepy Critters in Australia, this game was published by TolToys in South Melbourne in the late 60s.
I picked this up from an Op Shop, thinking that it'd be a good game for Harley and me to play together. She's gotten quite good at rolling dice and identifying the number that is rolled.
It looked like it'd be an interesting construction game however it was let down by two major problems.
First, the game didn't have all of the components (which is to be expected) and Harls started to get a bit OCD about having her critter being all the same colour.
Second the game is incredibly dull and the only choice you have is what colour item you're going to put on your critter. You roll the dice and then do what it tells you. We threw away the dice and just turned it into a building activity.
Shadowrun: Crossfire
Shadowrun: Crossfire is a game that's enjoyable to come back to even though it has a tendency to kick our butts around the town.
I like the world of Shadowrun (the game comes with a book that explains it if you've never ventured into the world... I assume it's from the RPG resource books)
From wikipedia's Shadowrun entry:
Set in 2077 [...] the end of the Mesoamerican Long Count ushered in the "Sixth World", with once-mythological beings (e.g. dragons) appearing and old forms of magic suddenly re-emerging. Large numbers of humans have "Goblinized" into orks and trolls, while many human children are born as elves, dwarves, and even more exotic creatures.
So you get fantasy, but you also get cyberpunk as it's set in the future when corporations have made advances in cyberware and whatnot. And there are guns and black markets and all that kind of stuff.
You take on a role and a race (orc, human, elf) with your fellow band of merry mischeif makers you are trying to get out of a failed heist (at least in the first scenario). It's a lot of cardplay and helping out your other team members and kind of feels like a deckbuilding Sentinels of the Multiverse.
There's some permanence. Your character gets to earn new abilities when you get a certain amount of Karma (experience), but you don't get to keep any of your cards from the previous adventure. Managed to get quite a few plays of this, but only managed a single win!
But still very enjoyable.
Cards Against Humanity
As expected. I'm not sure if it's good to have your expectations met when they're so low...
CAH has two major problems for me. First I don't like any game where there's a judge who decides on the best card. It's rather subjective and eh... I haven't played a game yet where it's worked for me.
Second there's the humour (or intended humour). I'm not a prude and I do tend to make (and enjoy) double entendre and innuendo. But single entendres just leaves me a bit cold. Maybe it is just me, but forcing this kind of humour doesn't seem like it asks the players really to do anything. Would the game be worse if I just randomly played a card from my hand? Certainly it would save me reading all of them.
Never need to play again.
King of New York
King of New York shifts the focus from point scoring to beating each other up. While there's still opportunity to score points, you're unlikely to win that way (it should require a lot of luck and everyone focussing on it to the exclusion of all else).
I don't think it replaces King of Tokyo, but makes for an interesting change of pace.
New and Unplayed Oct 2014
October saw us move (just a suburb away). I don't know if you know this, but moving sucks. Especially if you tend to collect things that you probably don't need. So there was a lot of giving away games this month. For some reason, you get three points for a give away... I'm not sure why, but this kind of pushes my Unplayed challenge score up rather to high.

New Plays
Dungeon Petz
I think I enjoy this more than Dungeon Lords. Each of the pets are nicely different and the mechanics work well with the theme.
Keeping the pets happy seems to be more of a fun challenge than trying to balance your evil levels.
And they're pretty cute too.
There's less of a puzzle here though. The second phase of Dungeon Lords (when the rampaging hordes attack your dungeon) feels like a pure puzzle. You ask yourself "how can I most effectively take down all these hereos with the monsters and traps I have".
Dungeon Petz feel more like a traditional worker placement, but that's no bad thing. I think it plays a little smoother and did I mention that they pets are pretty cute?

Richard Scarry's Busytown: Busy Busy Airport
"Play airplane game daddy?" is Harley's (our 2 and a half year old) favourite phrase at the moment. This is also the game in which she slapped me across the face for not letting me play again.
Technically we've played this a few times before, but this was the first time using all of the rules.
It's fairly simple. Each player gets a cardboard plane that has spaces for 3 passengers and a cargo hold. There are four destinations which you put around the room (or in different rooms). You put the for souvenirs on their respective destinations (4 per destination, each with a point value of 1-4). Each stack of souvenirs is then shuffled. You put the airport (the box) in the middle of the room and put the 16 travelers in the airport (4 for each destination). You also set up the control tower (which is a dice tower in disguise).
On a players turn they take the two dice and throw them down the tower. Then they pick one of the dice to use the action of. The actions are load 1 passenger from the airport to your plane, load 2 passengers from the airport to your plane, fly to 1 destination, fly to 2 destinations.
If you fly to a destination you drop off any passengers for that destination and pick up souvenirs equal to the number of passengers you delivered to that destination (they go in the cargo hold) then you fly back to the airport.
The game ends when there are no more passengers to pick up, each player then gets another turn. You then count up the points that each player has on their souviners to determine the winner.
Harley's become quite adept at taking turns. When it's her turn she knows it and in this game she becomes The Rock and does his "Just Bring It" taunt until you hand over the dice. She then throws the dice down the tower and can identify if she's picking up or travelling (though still needs help with the number). Playing Snakes and Ladders with her, I've found that she can by sight identify up to 4 in a pip based dice, but she hasn't got the hang of Arabic numerals yet.
We started playing this about 3 months ago (more as an activity than a game) and she had some difficulty putting passengers in the planes (it requires some degree of motor skills that she hadn't developed at that point).
The real fun of this game for the young ones is that you get to fly around with the cardboard airplane. The further away the destinations, the better the fun that's had up to a point, depending on age... if the destination is too far away there's a chance that the child will forget where it is... though this is still helpful from a development point of view.
It's still somewhat hard to get her to identify which traveler wants to go to which destination (though with each play this gets easier). She also cares not an iota about who wins or the counting of the points.... which is probably fair enough given that it's fairly random. From a strategy point of view you want to have passengers of the same place to reduce the number of flights you have to perform and to try and reduce the chances of getting 1's for each of your passengers. But this is the opposite of what's fun so...
Clean up is a joy as well as the main task is getting the passengers from their destinations to the airport (and flying between the destinations and airport is the best bit of this game anyway). Very hard for bits to get lost.
The artwork is lovely, it's Richard Scarry after all. There's lots of cute things happening and the inside of the box is the cutest I've seen. Everything that could be happening in an airport is happening in there.
Formidable Foes
We played this incredibly wrong. The market was flooded with power and so the game fell a bit flat... will need to play it with the correct rules
I really wanted to like this game... the theme feels like the video game Tropico (which I enjoy). But the game feels incredibly clunky and I never knew why I was doing anything. This may have been the way it was taught (there was a lot of "so this has happened, so now this happens" during gameplay which lead to players saying "Well had I known that would cause that, I wouldn't have done that")
But looking at the rules it feels like it is just a rather clunky game that shows it's age. Perhaps the new version is better?
First Orchard
The game pretty much plays itself but Harley enjoyed it (and we beat that little crow)... so it's all good.
