Star Fighters Rapid Fire Kickstarter Preview and Gameplay | @alleycatgames

Image
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...

Sunday Coupons

Image
If you are just starting out this is the best weekend to do it. http://www.sundaycouponpreview.com/  has a list of the coupons you should find in this Sunday's paper. It includes 2 SmartSource, 1 RedPlum, 1 Proctor & Gamble, & Moments to Save (w/ Pepsi & Frito-Lay brands). The P&G only comes out once a month, and normally you only get 1 SmartSource at most. You should look at either getting a Newspaper subscription from local paper or going to the Post Office and buying one. I also recommend getting a National Paper that has the inserts. Why? Well different areas of the country have different coupons offered. For example you might get a $1.00/2 in one area and a $0.50/1 in another. You would think, who cares I still save, well the $1.00 coupon doesn't double. Therefore the $0.50/1 is actually more like $1.00/1. The number of Newspapers you should get is 1 per person in the household, I always buy 2 myself unless there will be a great coupon on say Pr...

Just Starting Out

Like many I wanted to see what this Extreme Couponing was about. Now I don't need 100 tubes of toothpaste but I could use enough to last me and my fiance awhile. So I looked around the net found some ideas and got started. Two weeks ago I purchased 2 local newspapers , and printed everything I could find online. I used a few sites like Ann's Crazy World , Coupon Mom , and For The Mommas  for ideas and help. I didn't have all the coupons they said I needed, but I did have a few. I only shop at Weis and Martin's so limited my first shopping trip to those two stores. So how well did I make out... Total before bonus buys and coupons $427. Grand total after all discounts $227, a $200 savings. While I've heard stories of over 80% savings, I did have to buy a few things that were not on the plan because they were needed now.
