That's one dedicated mother and board gamer. Reminds me of my daughter, who would fall asleep on the floor of my game room.

[@henrikwakman7776]

That's really sweet:)

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

She is.

[@user-hk5fo1nm9h]

MP Energy Empire is good and you would like MP2: Minutes to Midnight. The main guy behind the designer/publisher passed away a few years back and I think this is the first one without him.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Yeah. I've heard good things about the series, but haven't played them.

[@Lordjunon]

Yeah if you can find the OG Manhattan project i would get that. It is really fun.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

@@Lordjunon Thanks.

[@syramento]

Good job. I appreciate your game reviews.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thank you. Happy to help.

[@CarlosRodriguez-ez3ls]

Thanks Cody! FYI, the other Manhattan Project titles are worth trying.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

I've heard good things. Thanks.

Wow. I don't think I've seen you review the game that you can't recommend. Most get a "buy it" and some get a "try it before you buy it" recommendation.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

@@dw4351 You don’t watch the show much, do you.

[@user-hk5fo1nm9h]

Maybe they thought the board would be oriented one way when they laid it out, so left and right are the same on all of them because one of them wasn’t supposed to be upside down facing away from the board.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

I don't know. Whatever they thought, it turned out weird.

[@BrianMarcus-nz7cs]

Turn five ,?? ,,, ok , after I've shaved !!! 😮

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Eh?

[@syme9925]

Dude. Seeing you with a beard in the Plug adjacent to clean shaven was kind of discordant.
As a beard wearer I have to say Rugged Cody presents better than Baby-Face Cody. Although the appellation did not hurt Mr. Nelson's fame.
As always though, we should defer to our brides' opinion.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

She likes the beard - so it will probably be back soon.

[@KevinBalch-dt8ot]

I was encouraged by the 60 minutes playing time. But based on your suggestion, I’ll pass.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Yeah. Lost opportunity.

[@phd_angel4192]

Agree. This game looks like crap.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

I think it looks good. There are just some pretty big issues.
