This game is pretty much a single player game disguised as a cooperative board game. It's like inviting 3 of your friends over to play Zelda on your N64 and assigning everybody a button to press.

If there was political motives or a treachery subplot to the game it would bring it to a new level.

If this is a serious problem for you then its generally a group dynamic thing, either try it in a group were every one is the same skill level or try the expansions it adds a bio-terrorist player

The issue cannot be with the board game, it must be with your friends. Maybe try getting new ones.

Quarterbacking IS a group problem it can happen with every pure co-op game, and yeah base pandemic does nothing to try to prevent it.

I'm not the one who bought it but if I had to guess it's because it's easier, cheaper, and more comfortable to ride a stationary bike in your house than it is to buy a real one and go all out on other stuff you need.

Or maybe he/she has a real bike already and this is just for when it's raining or whatever.

I loved this game, but it almost always seems to fall victim to "quarterbacking", where one player figures does the math and figures out how we're going to win in 8 turns as long as we all do exactly what he says.

Most of this was bought over the past few months, but I finally just finished everything. Those 3D wall panels were a goddamn pain in the rear end and I wouldn't do them again given the choice. They look nice, but god drat that was a lot of joint compound and sanding. I'm going to be finding dust in the house for weeks. All in all I'm super happy with everything and glad I decided to install everything myself. I do need to find a wall mounted wine rack for the booze side though. Maybe something coffee related for the other side.

I have a beer already fermented and ready for the kegerator too.

Can you get a closer picture of that wine bottle holder? I am intrigued.

Theres a very good chance that my household goods were lost in shipping from Korea. So I may have lost my bike.

Also, trainers require that I get another wheel set for my bike. It comes out to about the same price when all said and done and its a much bigger pain in the butt.

I got the Spin Bike because im really sensitive to heat and I cant go on runs right now.

Do you mean the buds staying in your ears or the buds falling off of the body of the headphones? I've had a small problem with both, easily solved by using a different earbud size (they come with 3 options) and giving my cord a bit more slack behind my head.

Sorry, I meant the second. The buds kept popping off the body of the headphones, particularly in pockets or bags, and getting lost.

It's one super long monitor that sticks up through the cabinet there. The DAO or whatever it is hooks up and is mapped to different keyboard buttons. I believe it's

code:

1 2 3 4 
q w e r

You map the panels to the keys and then go from there.

It looks nice but shouldn't the wine be tilted downwardly, to keep the cork moist.

E - I googled a bit. I guess that orientation keeps it moist too. Im used to them pointing down, or flat.
