Gelatinous Dudes

[Thallid]

Always wanted to play this, heard it was good, and finally picked it up this past weekend.

Played one three-player, introductory game - what a blast! I can't wait to play this more often, and with more people and more complex factory floors!

Anyone else played this before?

I played this more times than I can count while I was living in Kingston ten years ago. Since then, however, I've found the game to be really hit or miss for others. It's still one of my favourite games, but there's something about the mechanics (my guess is the spatial orientation) that really turns people off.

If you're looking for expansions to the game, the best in my opinion is "Armed and Dangerous". The "laser maze" map is awesome - almost as good as my all time favourite map "the cannery" which comes in the original game.

Yep, the people I was playing with occasionally got caught with the left/right orientation issue, but they still had fun anyway!

I'll have to take a look for Armed & Dangerous, sounds great - hope it's compatible with the version of the game I have (no Cannery map in my box).

Ah - I hadn't realized that they had different boards in the newer edition of the game. If you look on boardgamegeek.com, they have pictures of all the boards from the older editions. Some of the new ones look pretty fun too.

I'll definitely have to check out some of those older boards, thanks Tem!
