Isle of Skye
A few weekends ago Sund brought Isle of Skye, a tile-laying game from Mayfair Games, to our gamenight. Not being a huge fan of Carcassonne, I was a little suspect. However, there is much more going on in this 2-5 player game than the simple old classic. I very much enjoyed how the scoring worked and what really made the game fun was the auction phase, where you have to make very difficult decisions on what price to place on two of your tiles. Too high of a bid and you are forced to buy your own over-priced tile. Too low, and another player gets a great deal. The end game is frantic and even with all of us making some early less-than-optimal decisions while learning the rules, the score was quite close at the end. With the myriad of different scoring options and tile placement, you will have a unique game each time. I'm looking forward to playing it again.

15mm Superhero Gaming - Taffy Man Character Sheet
The story of Leroy Taff is a cautionary tale. Once a simple confectioner, Leroy lead a solitary life making candy. But his attempt to bring life to his candy creations had dramatic effects that would forever alter his destiny.
One afternoon, after leaving his shop, Leroy saved an old Roma women from being hit by an out of control car. For saving her life, she offered Leroy one wish. Leroy explained that he wished he could bring "joie de vivre" to his taffy making craft. The Roma woman nodded and provide Leroy a charm with specific instructions for completing a magic spell to fulfill his wish.
Due to an unfortunate translation error, instead of bringing the joy of life to Leroy's taffy, the attributes of taffy were bestowed upon the closest living thing - him. Leroy found that he had gained extraordinary powers - the attributes of taffy itself. Leroy found that he could contort and stretch his body into any shape. From that day forward, Leroy was Taffy Man.
