(Survey) What other games do you play?

GMT’s The Napolenoic Wars
GMT’s Sword of Rome
GMT’s Barbarossa to Belin
Horror Clix
CCG- Mythos

Eurorails, Empire Builder
Settlers of Catan
Chess
Backgammon
Used to play Risk… Have the LOTR version but only played it once or twice.
Monopoly I guess, but I see that as more of a kid’s game now.
Balderdash, Cranium, Apples to Apples (in terms of “party” games)

That’s about it for games I’ve played repeatedly

Can’t say I’d particularly seek out a site on any of those games, this one takes enough of my time and I like AAR more than any of those other games. However, I have made a PBEM chess web page myself, check out http://frood.net/emc/

@djensen:

Mr Ghoul, on average for all of these would you seek out a website? Visit it regularly? Post articles or comments? Participate in forums?

@Mr:

GMT’s The Napolenoic Wars
GMT’s Sword of Rome
GMT’s Barbarossa to Belin
Horror Clix
CCG- Mythos

Yes I would and I have. The GMT games usually need a errata posted to clarify rules and they encourage feedback.

Alas, I spend all of my gaming time on ONE game on ONE site (I think everyone knows which one)  :evil:

@djensen:

MW, could you just give me a list of some of the other games you play. No need to answer the questions for each of them.

kk, well I also play Diplomacy, Taboo, Pictionary……mmmmmmmm does chess count as well?  :lol:

Diplomacy
-A couple different diplomacy sites. Don’t contribute or visit anything regularly.

I play a few card game from time to time a big on in the army was spades. A fun one we also played was “Right, Left, Center.” This one was easy you didn’t need to buy the game we made cards out of the cardboard the MRE’s came in. The cards were labeled you guessed it Right, Left, Center. One Joe brought poker chips over w/ us. you all start out with the same amount of chips draw your card and do what it says, by passing your chip. Its a stupidly addicting game. We used it to break up the day overseas.

Alright !!!

Anyone play mgto?

@ezto:

Anyone play mgto?

What’s that, Magic the Gathering Online with a typo?

Srsly, I don’t know what it is.

Has anyone played Memoir '44? It’s a D-Day game that supposedly can be played in under an hour, might be a good way to get the fix without the full-day commitment that A&A is.

I have not played Memoir '44 but have played Battle Cry which is the same system but set in the Civil War. It is fun but it has what we describe as a backgammon sort of feel to it– did you play well or were you really lucky or both?

More so than other games with dice because there is also a deck of cards which tells where you can order units.  If you get a timely card draw an untenable position can turn around 180 degrees. Or your perfectly positioned troops can sit idly with an untimely one.

All in all Battlecry is fun and the modular terrain system that lets you set up different battlefields is very cool. It is a good “beer & pretzels” game and you can get 2 or 3 games in in 2 hours.

Here is link to the “official” Memoir '44 site:
