I recently purchased Mantic games; Mars Attacks game at SELWG in October. I duly painted up the figures and scenery. One of my mates had also bought a set with extra Martians, but he dosn't like painting, so is very slow. He also doesn't want to play until his set is painted. I was itching to play. Now my partner, Sue, plays the occasional boardgame with me but not minis games. But I thought, no harm in asking and she agreed. So we played scenario 1 and I asked her what she thought of the game. She said it was just like all my other games, little men moving about and rolling dice, I was disappointed. But then she asked to play the following evening, we played a furthur two games. Then this week we played another game and after finishing I went to pack it away and she said "That's alright leave it set up we can play again" On her precious dining room table! I'm so pleased and pleasantly surprised. I can't quite believe this is the same woman who tells me off for having my "toys" all over the place. Anyway I just wanted to share my happy state of being. |

Happy turn of events! I hope she allows you the occasional "win" so you remain interested! :-) |

Very cool. My wife likes to play but it has been 8 years since we last had a game. That when my son was born. He has started to play so I am hoping for family game nights to start soon. |

Great My wife is mad keen on ships and boats so I got the Sails of Glory set – she likes it; she also likes to play Wings of Glory with the Little Prince |

Lucky man!
My lady will paint horses, bases and such, but as she says, "not the fiddly little bits." No gaming though…. |

Just let her keep winning and everything will be OK. |

Would you give her my phone number? |

Update? Has she reclaimed her dining room table? |
| Karellian Knight | 20 Nov 2014 6:42 a.m. PST |
No she hasn't reclaimed the table, but a friend came to play last night so the game was relocated to my den. @Baconfat, after 12 years happily not married, I politely decline from informing her of your phone numbeer. |
