This game rules!!!

[D. Boon's Ghost]

I am glad to see this post, as I got this game for Christmas and absolutely love it. While it is the same basic game as LNoE (or the same game that LNoE would become with all of its expansions), IfOS adds so much more complexity to the 'bad guy' side of things.

As a base game, IfOS is (in my humblest of opinions) right behind Fortune & Glory as the best work that Flying Frog has produced.

And the theme just slays me. Say what you will about Angelica the Bearded Lady, but JoJo the Dancing Bear and Archibald the Human Cannonball are two of the greatest game characters ever created. In our very first game, those two nearly destroyed the big tent with kerosene, a lighter, and a well tossed (if ill advised) bomb. Pure chaos - and one of the funniest game sessions I have ever been part of.

If Conquest of Planet Earth can get a big boxed expansion, I would like to imagine that IfOS stands a good chance of receiving one of its own. Rumors don't look good for anything this year, but maybe 2014 will see some love thrown the carny's way.

... Heck, I'd be more than happy with a Hero/Scenario Pack web exclusive. I typically sneer away anything 'web exclusive', but this game has really hooked me; Advanced Abilities Supplement, here I come!
