        "Up until the last moments of the game, anyone can win!" is a listed right on the box.

      • hawke1
        Yup.

        • 2014-10-28 30132, 2014

      • Freso
        _Dave_: I guess so, but #musicbrainz-devel would be a better venue to ask.

        • 2014-10-28 30158, 2014

      • Freso
        (That is, I can't remember how to run the tests off-hand. It should be documented somewhere though.)

        • 2014-10-28 30100, 2014

      • _Dave_
        ok I'll do that

        • 2014-10-28 30123, 2014

      • _Dave_
        I think of any -devel channel as "don't talk there unless you are pushing changes to it" :)

        MB's a little more loose in these regards.

        • 2014-10-28 30113, 2014

      • _Dave_
        thankfully so

        • 2014-10-28 30124, 2014

      • Freso
        The boardgame chat isn't exactly strictly on-topic either. :)

        • 2014-10-28 30135, 2014

      • _Dave_
        Indeed

        • 2014-10-28 30150, 2014

      • _Dave_
        but people went there so I did too...I don't get on IRC much anyway

        • 2014-10-28 30109, 2014

      • Freso
        Yep. We're generally not too strict about being on-topic, unless there's a meeting or some crisis going down - but those are usually handled in -devel and you'll be told to "please wait" if you blunder in and don't realise it before it's too late.

      • kepstin-laptop
        huh, BGG doesn't have a status for having played a game, but do not own it.

        • 2014-10-28 30147, 2014

      • kepstin-laptop
        hmm. I guess you can do that by not checking a status, but adding a play

        • 2014-10-28 30119, 2014

      • hawke1
        kepstin-laptop: yeah, I was gonna say…just hit 'record a play' on the upper right

        • 2014-10-28 30113, 2014

      • hawke1
        Just to get this slightly on topic, who wants to add http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/34400/singing-… to Musicbrainz?

        • 2014-10-28 30131, 2014

      • _Dave_
        wait

        • 2014-10-28 30137, 2014

      • _Dave_
        musicbrainz handles board games now?

        • 2014-10-28 30142, 2014

      • hawke1
        _Dave_: It handles music releases, regardless of form.

        • 2014-10-28 30114, 2014

      • Freso
        I think we have at least one boardgame soundtrack in the db already.

        • 2014-10-28 30126, 2014

      • hawke1
        At least two.

        • 2014-10-28 30106, 2014

      • hawke1
        There are several more by Flying Frog Productions which could be entered.

        • 2014-10-28 30108, 2014

      • _Dave_
        so that would mean video game music is in there too?

        • 2014-10-28 30104, 2014

      • hawke1
        yup.

        • 2014-10-28 30110, 2014

      • hawke1
        definitely, there's lots of that

        There's also plenty of non-music audio, simply because people have wanted it there. E.g., audio books.

        • 2014-10-28 30143, 2014

      • Freso
        Sound clip CDs.

        • 2014-10-28 30157, 2014

      • Freso
        Etc.

        wait, what the hell is "cosmic encounter" and why does everyone casually know it

      • CatQuest has imself added a release with cd lens clener

        • 2014-10-28 30121, 2014

      • CatQuest
        to my excuse it had music and talking on it

        • 2014-10-28 30151, 2014

      • CatQuest
        and is kind of interesting in that it was made by phillips "creators of the cd compact disc technoloy" as they say on it

        • 2014-10-28 30112, 2014

      • _Dave_
        Cosmic Encounter is an awesome board game

        • 2014-10-28 30120, 2014

      • _Dave_
        I don't have links handy like most people but google it

        • 2014-10-28 30130, 2014

      • hawke1
        CatQuest: apparently we have an intersection of musicbrainz folks and boardgamers in the channel at present. :-)

        • 2014-10-28 30109, 2014

      • kepstin-laptop
        hmm I dunno if I've played a Cosmic Encounter before. Description sounds vaguely familiar.

        • 2014-10-28 30117, 2014

      • HibiscusKazeneko
        me neither

        • 2014-10-28 30121, 2014

      • HibiscusKazeneko
        is it like Risk?

        • 2014-10-28 30130, 2014

      • _Dave_
        to me it's the best board game ever, but someone will likely challenge that

        • 2014-10-28 30136, 2014

      • _Dave_
        it's a meta game

        • 2014-10-28 30144, 2014

      • _Dave_
        you have rules, then you have cards/powers that break the rules

        • 2014-10-28 30107, 2014

      • _Dave_
        and it's quite social...at times you'll negotiate deals

        • 2014-10-28 30120, 2014

      • CatQuest
        the only interesting/wack board game I know is flodhesten i badekaret. and nobody wll know that soo...

        • 2014-10-28 30131, 2014

      • _Dave_
        I can't even pronounce that O.o

        • 2014-10-28 30136, 2014

      • CatQuest
        pity, because it's eally hilariously funny

        • 2014-10-28 30150, 2014

      • CatQuest
        hum.. hippo in te bathtub? idk

        • 2014-10-28 30157, 2014

      • HibiscusKazeneko
        CatQuest: Was it ever released under any other name (in another language)?

        • 2014-10-28 30108, 2014

      • CatQuest
        I wouldn't know.

        • 2014-10-28 30119, 2014

      • HibiscusKazeneko
        Google isn't showing me anything relevant

        • 2014-10-28 30123, 2014

      • Freso doesn't know Cosmic Encounter

        • 2014-10-28 30128, 2014

      • CatQuest
        but the whole hippo in the bathtub thing waskind of the running joke and on the logo so it would have that

        I’ve played Cosmic Encounter twice…once about a year ago, and once about a week ago

        • 2014-10-28 30140, 2014

      • _Dave_
        I first played at caltech in the early 80s

        • 2014-10-28 30129, 2014

      • hawke1
        I think it’s held up much better than any game approaching that age

        • 2014-10-28 30134, 2014

      • _Dave_
        someone got drunk and decided (because he was losing badly) to piss on the game

        • 2014-10-28 30144, 2014

      • _Dave_
        when he sobered up he bought me another copy

        • 2014-10-28 30152, 2014

      • _Dave_
        and then he bought me a 3rd copy

        • 2014-10-28 30104, 2014

        • 2014-10-28 30110, 2014

      • _Dave_
        I've been holding on to the last two copies since 1982

        • 2014-10-28 30121, 2014

      • hawke1
        _Dave_: But not the first copy?

        • 2014-10-28 30125, 2014

      • _Dave_
        no lol

        • 2014-10-28 30132, 2014

      • _Dave_
        that would be an emphatic "hell no"

        :-)

        • 2014-10-28 30128, 2014

      • _Dave_
        anyway it's an original Eon set

        • 2014-10-28 30138, 2014

      • _Dave_
        and likely somewhat valuable, if aging

        • 2014-10-28 30154, 2014

      • _Dave_
        Mayfair re-released the game sometime later

        • 2014-10-28 30159, 2014

      • _Dave_
        and changed the rules

        • 2014-10-28 30111, 2014

      • Freso
        CatQuest: I didn't even look at the site, but maybe it's open for men's feet as well, but I guess most people just upload women's?

        • 2014-10-28 30120, 2014

        anyway, yeah, it's pretty disconcerting to google a woman and have her feet be in the top auto-complete suggestions.
