Happy Father's day! (new 101 Article is up)

101 about playing with your kids, part 2.

I hope all of you with kids get some time with them today, I hope that those of you with dads are making them feel special, and I hope that we all have a bit o'Star Wars in our day today :)

I regularly play with both my 14 and 16 year old boys. Few things warm the heart more than your teenage kids asking if you'll play with them. We will usually play 1v1 but often invent our own casual 1v1v1 or 1v2 games including epic

I play rebel, my 14 year old flies Imperial and my 16 year old flies scum. so we buy everything. We play Mondays at Affinity for Gaming in Crystal Lake, IL ( outside Chicago ) with the group "The Sarlacc Pit Crew" They call us the Karchwalker Clan.

One casual game we invented we call monster in the middle. each of us gets 1 or 2 ships and there is a fully loaded K-wing or Punisher ( the monster ) in the middle of the table. when its your turn, the monster is your ally to control. its funny trying to get near it when its your turn and run away from it other turns. we are also creating a blind-man's-bluff version where your pilot and all upgrade cards are hidden until you use a card/ability. Pilot skill 0 or lowest generic ( and start with a generic base until you shoot, then reveal/place the actual ship base. weapons and special abilities could be anything until they are used. its crazy.

happy fathers day all. We will probably play 150 pt Epic 1v1v1 today.
