Why should a spend lots and lots of money for something that ' s most likely to be regarded as common sense ? What shocking discoveries can be found in books ? Be nice to women ? gasp No , really ? Look them in the eyes , be sure to keep up your personal hygiene , try not to dress too badly and so on . In my opinion , most authors of such books are snake oil salesmen , who found that people won ' t buy their snake oil , so they ' re writing dating books instead . P . S . I consider myself a bookworm , so I find my aversion towards dating books somewhat ironic . But I guess I prefer reading books that are actually important . <| sep |> If your group doesn ' t mind the downtime of playing a larger player count deck builder , my group who is this way has enjoyed Ascension and Valley of the Kings . In both cases you will need two base sets of the game or at least a base set and expansion for Ascension . For Ascension , I like how Realms Unraveled and Dawn of Champions mix . For Valley of the Kings you ' d want the original one and Afterlife since Last Rites has some different starting cards in it .
