Gelatinous Dudes

Hey guys,

Just wanted to drop a quick note on the Cthulhu Dice game by Steve Jackson Games. (I picked this up while on my travels through Ontario, but I'm sure it's available out here also.) http://www.sjgames.com/dice/cthulhudice/

We played it with both 3 and 4 players thus far, and it does live up to the quick play that it is intended for. Games were no longer than 15 mins and we quite enjoyed ourselves. It took very little time to start understanding the symbols on the die, which really started the game moving along. There is definitly some strategy involved once you either A: Go Mad or B: are close to going Mad.

The players we had were two amature gamers, and two complete strangers to what we were doing. We played in an airport while waiting for the plane (why else would we be there for I suppose) and engaged some on lookers.

I'm not going to go with any sort of rating system here, but I will say that if you are looking for something to travel with - or to kill time while waiting for another game to get started, I think this is a great distraction of time. Definetly worth the 5$.

I also can't wait to try Zombie Dice - again, it looks like another good distraction of time.
