The Adventurers: The Temple of Chac

[BentonGrey]

This boardgame seems right up the alley of a lot of Reborners, so I was curious if any of y'all have it?  I just got it, and while it seems pretty cool, I'm thinking it probably needs a bit of tweaking, so I'd love to bounce ideas around with any other players.

I don't have it, nor have I even heard of it. How did you come to get a copy?

Hey UY, sorry for the delay in answering you, but it's been a super busy week!  Anyway, The Temple of Chac is a push-your-luck board game with a pulp adventure aesthetic.  You can check it out here:

I bought mine off of Amazon, then realized that was a mistake when I saw one selling for significantly less on BoardGameGeek.com.  I became aware of it to begin with because a friend of mine had it.

I love the Board Game Geek website, it's awesome! I just got into Board Games about a year ago and am really enjoying the hobby. If you like The Adventurers game Benton mentioned there is a sequel to the game called "The Adventurers: The Pyramid of Horus". You can find out more about it here:

There is an amazing world awaiting anyone willing to give board games a try these days. There are an unbelievable amount of board/card games available on the market that can satisfy any type of gamer if you are just willing to give them a try. I still play video games but I have found a much more rewarding social experience from playing board games over the last year. There are many superhero games available as well.

Also if you get into the hobby and plan to buy a few games, your best bet is to save up and buy from one of the board game specialty stores online (Cool Stuff Inc, Miniature Market, etc.). You will usually need to spend about $100 dollars to get free shipping (board games can be expensive to ship) but you will find the best prices at those places. They are often $10+ cheaper then Amazon (though sometimes you can find a good sale on Amazon).
