Description
MARCUS BIGNEYHere comes Fantasy Flight's body, mourned by Michael Walker: who,though he had no hand in its death, shall receivethe benefit of its dying, a place in thehobby; as which of you shall not? WALKERFriends, gamers, hobbyists, lend me your ears;I come to bury Fantasy Flight, not to praise it.The evil that publishers do lives after them;The good is oft interred with their bones;So let it be with Fantasy Flight. The noble BigneyHath told you FFG was ambitious:If it were so, it was a grievous fault,And grievously hath FFG answer'd it.Here, under leave of Bigney and the rest--For Bigney is an honourable man;So are they all, all honourable men--Come I to speak in FFG's funeral.It was my friend, faithful and just to me:But Bigney says it was ambitious;And Bigney is an honourable man.It hath published many games home to RomeWhose playing did the gaming public thrill:Did this in FFG seem ambitious?When that the games were broken, FFG hath wept:Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:Yet Bigney says it was ambitious;And Bigney is an honourable man.I speak not to disprove what Bigney spoke,But here I am to speak what I do know.You all did love it once, not without cause:What cause withholds you then, to mourn for it?O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;My heart is in the coffin box there with expansions,And I must pause till it come back to me.01:32 AYURIS: Imperial 2030 (Mac Gerdts, PD-Verlag, 2009)Games Played Last Week:04:08 -Yokohama (Hisashi Hayashi, Tasty Minstrel Games, 2016)07:54 -Vampire Queen (Wolfgang Kramer, Schmidt Spiele, 2016)11:40 -Regicide (Paul Abrahams, Luke Badger, & Andy Richdale, Badgers from Mars, 2020)12:13 -Pickomino Deluxe (Reiner Knizia, Zoch Verlag, 2018)14:25 -Equinox (Reiner Knizia, Plan B Games, 2021)18:33 -Rhino Hero (Scott Frisco & Steven Strumpf, HABA, 2011)18:33 -Rhino Hero: Super Battle (Scott Frisco & Steven Strumpf, HABA, 2017)21:50 -The Search for Planet X (Matthew O'Malley & Ben Rosset, Renegade Game Studios, 2020)23:15 -Descent: Legends in the Dark (Kara Centell-Dunk & Nathan I.
