Board Games!
ffxik:
To the few who play board games here, perhaps someone can help me out. I know this thread isn't for this type of thing but I need help finding an expansion to a game that we have.
My kids love to play Rail Raiders Infinite and I am looking for the The Good, The Bad, and The Bot expansion. I know it's not a good game but they like it, so I'm trying to find the expansions to up the number of players. I managed Old Tyme Religion so we have the fifth player just need the sixth.
Any help would be appreciated.

I can ask Scott, who used to be an admin here and is currently in the miniature scene. Maybe he'll have a lead. Is it fairly limited because it was limited to Kickstarter release?

For other co-op games out there, you might want to look up Flash Point: Fire Rescue, Dead Men Tell No Tales, 5-Minute Dungeon, and Zombicide.
Flash Point has you take on the roles of a crew of firefighters trying to rescue people in a burning building before it collapses. How characters move around and such is similar to the Forbidden games, but requires quite a bit more coordination between players. Dead Men Tell No Tales is of a similar vein, but in this one, you're pirates raiding a cursed ship for treasure.
5-Minuute Dungeon's a pretty quick co-op game. As the title suggests, rounds only take 5 minutes to play. How it works is that players have to quickly play cards to defeat a deck of monsters, but as everyone's playing at the same time and the clock is ticking, they have to communicate well enough that they don't waste too many cards and lose the game.
Zombicide (and its various spinoffs and expansions) is the most expensive one out of the list, but it's also got the most replayability. It's a zombie survival RPG where players play as a team of survivors,trying to complete various objectives while also dealing with the ever-growing zombie horde. As everything's modular and scenario-based, there are tons of different setups and levels of difficulties to try out, especially with the expansions added to the mix.
Also, if you get tired of pure co-op, there are some great semi-co-op games out there like Saboteur or Total Rickall, where while the game itself is a co-op one, 1 or more players may be a traitor with completely different goals in mind.

We played Rail Raiders Infinite on Memorial Day with 4 players and had a riot. It is a pretty light game and the rules could have been clearer, but I def think that it's better with more players cutting each other's throats. After that game, I wanted to try it at 6 players.
Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised that you can't find it right now, because it's either not released to the public yet or awaiting a reprint of some sort. I'm guessing the latter. I found a post from Ninja Division on Twitter saying the release date for RRI:G,B,B hasn't been announced yet. Perhaps with Origins and GenCon looming, we might see new RRI retail releases.
Ninja Division's original Kickstarter release was missing the extra dice that it was supposed to come with and there was a big to do about it. So I'm guessing the retail release got pushed back a bit to make sure it was all set for retail.
That said, I'm supposed to be working with ND and judging their chibi miniatures painting competition at GenCon. Poke me in the beginning of August, if you haven't found a copy yet and I'll ask them while I'm there.

5 Minute Dungeon is pretty fun but brutal as hell. Communication and teamwork is a must. We've so far only been able to beat the first 3 bosses due to time and luck of the draw (both our own decks and the door deck)
They just did an expansion on Kickstarter too which adds some new classes and mechanics. Can't wait to try that out.
