What my SECRET SATAN sent me!

I do love the idea that you could receive a spectacularly shitty package or a great one. It makes the disappointment all the greater when you open it and it's blood wars cards.

<snip>

I am trying to balance the bad with the good. A couple of nice things going in my package, but also a couple of truly horrible games and various other items.

Finally sent mine today. As always, I go for some amount of misery, and a fair bit of "What the Fuck is this?" Hopefully the illustration on the box on top will cause retina scarring.

Is it Poseidon's Kingdom? That Kraken...oh my god...the eyes...

If that copy of Breakout: Normandy is punched then I have an idea from whom it is.

I know exactly who sent it to me, because they had to put their name on the shipping/customs declaration. And I'm very much appreciative of their generosity, and the time they took to put a little exploration puzzle in the box, and of the fact they were astute enough to send me games I really wanted but would likely never have bought for myself.

You're a long way from home
And you can't sleep at night
Feels like another mule's kickin' in my stall
And that's evil
Evil
Going out baby
I said I'm warning you brothers
You'd better watch your happy home
Watch your happy
Watch your happy, happy home

Thank you, Dave Wyndorf, for these words

Is this the Fragnor borthers game? the bloodshot eyes?

My Satan had a hard time with the secret part, apparentlly Satan lives in Texas... not really a surprise. He was pretty gentle so I wouldn't have to use the provided address to extract revenge.

He did a much better job on the Satan theme. The box contained two full sets of Mage Knight starter sets. I have never played Mage Knight, but the kids already started to play with the minis, thus leaving my handpainted stuff alone. Plus I am a big fan of HirstArts molds and have a dungeon for them to live in... heck I might even try the game.
Also in the box was the dead on the theme Twilight Creation's [url=http://http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/6201/dantes-inferno]Dante's inferno[/url]. Not only does it look pretty awful, it has Lucifer right there on the cover. Not being secret.

And then the real stinker Overlord: 2 player . Coming in with a "2" rating over at the geek. That is lower than Tic-Tac-Toe. It looks to be a bad attempt at ripping off Titan, complete with seperate boards for combat and upgrading monsters. Monsters are stickers on poker chips and photocopied maps. OH! and the rule book. It is possiblly the worst written thing I have ever read. It is written as if two people on shrooms were coming up with a game design:

"First thing you will see is letters. Letters mean things, D is for a ten sided dice. C is for an 8 sided. AA would roll two d4S. Then if there is a box around one number it is for movement. Letters are for levels." Not an exact quote, but pretty damn close.

Thanks Satan!
