New wargame?

[rokapoke]

I'm up for whatever...


Monopoly:
Mooseman
Rokapoke


Talisman:
Mooseman
Rokapoke


Risk:
Rokapoke


Other War game:
Rokapoke

 

[BigBlue]

I am not all that interested... but I will gladly run Talisman... Like I said, it will take me time to set it up...

 

[turgy22]

I don't really feel like learning a new game, but I'll play something I know.


Monopoly:
Mooseman
Rokapoke
Turgy22


Talisman:
Mooseman
Rokapoke


Risk:
Rokapoke
Turgy22


Other War game:
Rokapoke

 

[DarthFerret]

If it is Talisman, will have to learn what to do and how.


Monopoly:
Mooseman
Rokapoke
Turgy22
DarthFerret

Talisman:
Mooseman
Rokapoke
DarthFerret

Risk:
Rokapoke
Turgy22
DarthFerret

Other War game:
Rokapoke

 

[BigBlue]

No problem DF & others...

A) it's really pretty simple - I'd say less 'knowledge' required than Monopoly even.
B) I'll lay out the rules etc when it's run.
C) It is like a turn based RPG - very few rules are required.

A turn goes like:

1) Roll the dice
2) choose which direction you go (Left or Right)
3) when you get to a square, if someone else is on the square, you may deal w/ them or deal w/ the square.
4) End of Turn.

Yeah, it's a bit more complicated than that... but that's about it. After about 2 or 3 turns, everyone will have the hang of it.

Can't we play more than one game?

 

[TomB]

Can't we play more than one game?

That would be difficult for me personally, so if I must choose between them I vote for learning something new and playing a game of Talisman...

 

[BigBlue]

As I stated earlier... I won't be ready until January... So, you can wait if you like, or play something else in the meantime...

I did see my Talisman box yesterday... just no time to start any type of transcribing everything to excel...

 

[TomB]

Ahhh, I missed that part earlier...Well then, for now I guess put me down for Risk/LotR Risk instead, and if BB gets Talisman set up quicker than expected we can talk about it again...

[Spiderman]

Just a clarification, this would be LOTR Risk which I would run (unless someone else wants to run regular Risk again). I thought it would be a nice change

And the other wargame is Fortress America, which again I would run. If someone else wants to chime in with another wargame they want to run, that's fine.

I'm up to playing anything else.

Rokapoke
Mooseman (maybe)

 

[BigBlue]

OK, so I started typing in the board yesterday (actually almost done w/ the board)... And I realized this game isn't quite as easy as I remembered... it's still not rocket science by any stretch... but there are some things which need knowing.

When I am ready, I will make a link to the board on a spreadsheet at Google.

I'll also post about 2 turns worth of simulated game to show how it works for those who've never seen the game. It's going to be harder for me to run than it is for you guys to play. I'd like to try to adapt the game a bit for online play to keep it moving... but this won't be easy. If a play is obvious, I guess I'll make the obvious choice and move on (if a person wants it different we'll change it).

 

[Spiderman]

I don't think any of us will know the difference for any adaptations for online play

 

[Spiderman]

So... you guys want to run Monopoly while we wait for BigBlue to get Talisman ready? You want to wait until the current Risk game is finished? Those who signed up for LOTR Risk want to play along with Monopoly but also until the current Risk game finishes (especially since rokapoke is still running it and DF is still playing....)

 

[rokapoke]

I'm good either way. At this point Risk isn't too time-consuming, particularly with Modus' extended absence.

 

[DarthFerret]

I can play both, but like I said may not have a lot of contact during the week of Christmas

 

[Mooseman]

I can play both, but like I said may not have a lot of contact during the week of Christmas

Not all of us will, so there is not time limit for turns here, we can focus more on playing in Jan......
