I wish I could play like that! :)
4 Player Global game
-
Hi Guys
Long time Lurker first time poster :)I’ve played the global game a few times, with 3 players. Tommorow i’m going to play my first 4 player game.
I was wondering, how do you usually play or suggest splitting the countries, among 4 players?I know the rules suggest 1 player for axis and 3 players for allies, but i think it would be more enjoyble if it is two players on each side.
Is it a terrible idea?Iv’e tried looking trough the posts, but have not stumbled upon at discussion about it. Maybe i’m blind :-)
Best Regards

Hi Napalmkogie,
welcome to the board.
@cyanight:Our group is usually 4 players.

This is the split of nations I would also suggest, as long as you host a game for evenly experienced players. For an inexperienced novice who plays for example UK I would exchange Russia with ANZAC.

I don’t know why they suggest 1 vs 3, much better 2 vs 2. Having a partner to discuss strats, or maybe catch a mistake helps especially with newer players.
As others have shown w/axis one player Germany & Italy, the other Japan. As for allies I would have one player UK and the other US and the rest as you see fit (keep in mind that Russia although is a major power can be a bit boring playing mostly defense).
Another way is to split the allies Atlantic/Pacific. Splitting the US between two players can be very interesting lol.

Personally, I would split it like this:
1 - Germany, Italy
2 - Japan
3 - UK, UK India, France, ANZAC
4 - USA, USSR, ChinaI’ve just always felt that ANZAC and UK should be put together.

Agree with this. ANZAC should be with UK

@WILD:

We’ve tried this in one of our last games. The more inexperienced US-“Europe”-player included the position of US-President and controlled and divided our income, while I as the US-“CiC-Pacific”-player could only make suggestions and proposals. It was very interesting and fun for both US-players. :-D

I think four player is the best. As the Allies it’s easier to be on the same page and everyone has a more to do.
The setup I prefer:
Germany & Italy
JapanRussia, UK, France
USA, China, AnzacThe USA player should control Anzac since they’ll be working closely with them.
