Star Fighters Rapid Fire Kickstarter Preview and Gameplay | @alleycatgames

Live playthrough of the fast action dice rolling Kickstarter game Star Fighters Rapid Fire by Alley Cat Games. Back Star Fighters on Kickstarter . About Star Fighters: Rapid Fire combines the excitement of real-time dice rolling with tactical starship combat. Each player hops into the cockpit of their own starfighter and duels it out in a dog fight to prove who is the superior pilot. The game plays in multiple modes 1 vs 1, 3 player free-for-all, 2 vs 2, or a solo mode where a single starfighter attacks an orbital space station. In the real-time phase all players roll and re-roll their command dice simultaneously, and assign them to the various functions of their starfighter. When a player has fully charged systems and is ready to act they may end the real-time phase by hitting the big red button and yelling, “Fire!” This means all players must cease rolling and allocating dice and move to the tactical phase. In the tactical phase players then alternate activating the systems they hav

Organization

There are three methods to organize your coupons.

  1. Clip all the coupons you want and file them in a coupon organizer
    • Pros:
      1. Saves time later by having the coupons pre-clipped
      2. Organized by type/department (ie: Meat, Frozen, Dairy, etc)
      3. Smaller boxes can be taken to the store
    • Cons:
      1. Takes a lot of time to clip coupons that you might no use
      2. Small and you will outgrow quickly
  2. Clip all the coupons you want and file in a binder w/ baseball card or photo sleeves
    • Pros:
      1. Saves time later by having the coupons pre-clipped
      2. Organized by type/department
      3. You can take the binder to the store
      4. Maximum Savings because you can catch deals while shopping
    • Cons:
      1. Takes time to clip coupons and you might not use them
      2. Time consuming to organize and keep up with expired coupons
      3. Depending on the number of coupons you have the binder can get big
  3. Don't clip any coupons and file the inserts in a file system
    • Pros:
      1. Saves time by not clipping anything
      2. Organized by Insert & Date (Red Plum 05-01, Smart Source 04-17, etc.)
      3. Only clip the coupons for the deal when you need it
    • Cons:
      1. Takes time to find deals every day
      2. Miss deals because you leave your coupons at home
      3. Can take up a lot of room because you keep an entire insert and don't always know what is expired and what is good so you keep it all.
I personally use the Binder method because I don't want to scan the Internet all day every day and spend hours a week couponing. I get my inserts and write what insert they came from and date on the coupons (ex; RR 05-01). I then  go online and print my coupons (2 at first, and an additional 2 later if needed). I then file them into several categories; Dairy, Frozen, Meats, Condiments, Rice/Bread/Paste, Health & Beauty, Pet, Household, Snacks/Candy/Chips. Your organizational method is your own, and might even change based on your stores layout. Finally I wait till later in the week, usually Wednesday to find my match ups with my stores (Martin's & Weis). I plan my trip and take my binder with me, that way I can save if there is something on store special or not listed in the weekly flyer or even the match ups (since ads, coupons, and match ups are area specific and  can change from state & region).

Japanese Hidden Gems Board Games by Board Game Tables.com Coming Soon to Kickstarter

Image
BoardGameTables.com announced two incredibly quirky and fun Japanese board games that will be launching on Kickstarter October 12th. The first game is Dandelions, a small box area-majority game that feels entirely unique, yet closely related to our crowd favorite Mountain Goats. The second game is Psychic Pizza Deliverers Go to the Ghost Town, an exploration game where you have to navigate through teleports, graveyards and ghosts to deliver pizza. "Do you have any indie Japanese games at home? Or any that you're a big fan of? If so, you'll no doubt understand why we all love so many of these thoughtful and offbeat games. If you haven't been fortunate to play one - that's why we're doing this!" The majority of independent Japanese games are either incredibly hard to purchase, or, if you are lucky enough to purchase them, it's dubious if you can find translated rules. This challenge has led BoardGameTables.com to team-up with James Nathan to help us con
