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

How a Couponer Prepares for a Hurricane

I read a great post at For The Mommas about hurricane preparation and the nature of couponers and having a stockpile. While I personally don't keep a large stockpile myself, having any amount of extra food for emergencies can be helpful not only for your family but for those around you. Empty shelves at the grocery store , that is all you will find here in the bread, water and peanut butter aisles right now. I just got off the phone with someone asking if I had any spare peanut butter, because they cannot find any, anywhere. I saw my neighbor in the store and she needed toilet paper.

Success Stories: Link Up

Well it's shopping Friday and I did not go shopping again this week. Currently I have enough food to last until my Wedding and Vacation next week. The other reason was my $0.30 gas coupon came up missing. I was actually only going to spend $50 this week for the gas savings but without the coupon it seemed pointless. I might have gone for the 200 points for the Clorox Deal , but my SmartSource  didn't have the coupons I needed. So in the end I'll just save the $50 and use it on my Vacation. Leave a comment or link and let me know what kind of saving you got this week.
