Yay, first post in the new forum!
So, anyone ever heard the "You're too old for this game." thing? Exactly how old is everyone here? (you can lie).
I'm 18 and play with my 54 year old dad and my friends who are the same age as me.

Yep, I have...mostly from myself I'm 26, but because I don't have many people to play with (most of my games come from a wife who can be cajoled into playing), I feel kinda stupid at times. ETA: BTW Joe, love the description of this forum ;D

Gosh, I must be the geezer in these parts turning the ripe ole age of 39 in just over a month. Time to get out the rocking chair and bellow on for hours about the good ole days when I first saw Star Wars in the theatre down town.
My son is 9 and my best excuse to buy and play Attacktix.
You are NEVER too old to do what you enjoy doing! Who cares what anyone else might think or say about it if you really enjoy it!
There are a lot worse things in the world to do than play games!

Hey Lonestar, next time we have a trade, I'll be sure to throw in a gimer stick (ala Yoda) for ya ;D Says the man who has a beautiful excuse for playing But you're right. And I've counseled people who've done those things in great excess...*not* fun. I'd rather talk to someone whose addiction is Attacktix anytime!

i'm 32, well almost. i'll be 32 in nov. i play with my four yr old son and 7 yr old daughter both about to age 1 year. Wow, that sounds pretty familiar. I'm 29, and play with my six year old daughter and four year old son. My wife plays too. And that's it. I have yet to get any of my friends hooked on Attacktix. My nephew plays, but he lives about 100 miles away, so we've only played each other once. Next time I visit family in MN I am going to track down YodaBreaker. Age is just a number, man! My brother (age 40) has commented to me about only being able to find teenage guys to play basketball with anymore.

Hey Lonestar, next time we have a trade, I'll be sure to throw in a gimer stick (ala Yoda) for ya ;D Watch it now sonny, I just might have to use that gimer for something else since I can't reach my foot that high! ;-) Says the man who has a beautiful excuse for playing But you're right. Wise old men, usually are! ;-) Besides, it just means that you are getting into practice and will make a GREAT dad yourself someday! And I've counseled people who've done those things in great excess...*not* fun. I'd rather talk to someone whose addiction is Attacktix anytime! Ouch! More power to both you and them! I really just can't even relate or understand why or how some people make the choices that they sometimes do. I would have trouble seeing and understanding things like that.

i have an idea, email attacktix. like email chess, if you can trust your opponent to be honest and fair and you would have to have enough figures to back up your opponents as well as your own, which i know quite a few of us could since boosters are like crack except yodabreaker who's wife has cracked down on him. tee hee

Interesting idea, but how bout a cartoonized computerized video game similar to battle front but with Attacktix figures. Kind of like the radio controled racing games and 'Army Men' series!

Total amen to what Radar said. people say I'm too old and I'm 14, one of the youngest on this forum! When I tell them about the forum they always have the saim response. "probably a bunch of 40 year olds living in their moms' basements." And they all think they're clever. How sad.

I'm 32, and I play Attacktix with my nine-year-old and occasionally with my wife. And, hey, in a galaxy where a 900-year-old can flip from walls and hurl Senate pods, who's to say anyone's "too old"?
