a repulsive attraction

Found a monthly "board game club" today. Met some strangers and played Gravwell (review, amazon), which is a space-flavored racing game where the mechanic is you play cards which move you towards or away from the other players. Everybody puts down their cards at the same time, so there is a risk that other players' positions will change before it's time for you to move, and you'll move the wrong way.

Pretty fun, honestly.
