Poker, euchre, spades, hearts, watever
Magic the Gathering

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:

lol yeah  :-P

The big two for me are Britannia (I was a playtester) and Kingmaker (Unofficial Advanced Kingmaker)

I’m also doing a map for Blood Royal (which FF might be redoing at some point),

I’ve done a map for Wars of the Roses and have been trying to persuade the designer to correct a few little historical errors.  Like putting Warwickshire where Worcestershire should be.  Hmmm, at least he didn’t put Gloucester in Cumbria…  :-D

OK, I guess I will update my info…

Axis and Allies (revised exclusively at this point having retired from Classic)
Monopoly (for fun with other couples, especially the strip variant!)
Poker (again, strip variant preferred)
AD&D (Been playing since the late 1970’s, though little opportunity lately)
Black Isle Games (Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale)  Quite fun PC games
Old Arcade Games:  Graviton, Asteroids, Lunar Lander, Centipede, etc.

All Axis & Allies games. Some American Civil War games. Also Railroad Tycoon. No time or players for any others. I thought that I would like online versions of AA but the commitment to others that I do not know is awkward. I feel bad if I start and then have to leave before the game is over. If its someone that I know then we can always save and continue later. I am involved with this forum only.
