Spammers, the game
Spammers: The Game, I just bought this on ebay, seems like it will be some good fun. From the site:
Each player is competing to pull off the most lucrative scams. You do this by spamming mailing lists. The more closely related the mailing list is to the type of scam you’re trying to pull, the easier it is to score.
Scams come in 4 types - sex, internet, money and free stuff. The text and art flavour are quite wonderful. Of course the sex scams appeal the most - highlights were the Virtual Jellorama, Walter’s Wankery and Disgusting Dog Tricks. If you’re geeky, some of the internet scams are witty. All the standard ‘make money doing nothing’ and free stuff scams are there as well.
“Oh god, you do have mail.”
I grabbed a couple more card games on an ebay buying spree, they’ll be good for killing some time while travelling. And that boardgamegeek.com site is just awesome. So I bought a box of On the Edge pretty cheap, a set of Killer Bunnies, which looks devilishly fun, and I’m looking for a set of Kult (for the people that find this post in Google, WANT TO BUY: KULT CARD GAME SET).
On the Edge seems quite intriguing:
On the Edge is the collectible card game of surreal conspiracies from acclaimed game designers Jonathan Tweet and John Nephew.
In On the Edge, players adopt the roles of arch-conspirators on Al Amarja, the shadowy setting of the Over the Edge roleplaying game. Cards represent the resources and inhabitants of the island, from contacts in the art scene to strange alien technologies.
Yeah I’m a geek indeed.
