ol Roger, First of all, I'd like to make it clear that it was not my intention to bring "The Pimp Game" to the upcoming Gamesday #18 nor the next Game...
So, I guess that opened a can of worms. Eric, try not to take it personally that so many of us just do not appreciate the theme you chose for your game at all....
Leland, I haven't taken anything in this discussion personally. Good parenting and game design, in this instance, I think are two different issues. I think...
I haven't chimed in yet, but while I'm not a fan of prototypes (eventhough I realize playtesting is a necessary evil), I don't have a problem with them being...
Once again, I PROMISE, I will not bring The Pimp Game to Gamesday, Nor was it ever my intention to do so. ... have a ... the ... Games ... the ... called...
Just played it at TRW. Bill Gallagher, after winning, gave it a D+. I'd be willing to try it again, but my assessment wasn't far off from Bill's, and I ...
... Hey, Ryan, I not only got this game recently, but played it last week... and I liked it. I'm not sure what all the negative buzz it about, other than the...
... The rules left me numb, the scoring mechanism was frustrating (conceivable, you could end up so that you never scored a point the entire game until the...
After two plays of Fifth Avenue, I enjoyed it enough to want to play it again at my next oppourtunity. Part of my interest stems from the fact that the board...
Yesterday I played CSI: The Board Game because we were having a Murder Mystery themed game day and someone was cool enough to buy it just for the occasion. ...

... That's Goldbrau, right? I thought some the early word I read on this was lukewarm, but when I read the descriptions it sounds like something I'd like. That...
... Goldbrau! That's it. Four players. I don't remember how long it took, but it wasn't particularly long. It didn't seem out of place with the overall...
... I think we all recognized that and still didn't like it. Unlike other games where you can quit the alliance when it no longer suits you, it is much more ...
... Yeah, definitely. It's almost as if the game encourages a rapid end. I think. Again, only one play under my belt, so this may prove to be a feature of...

... I don't disagree, but I'm not sure this is that good a strategy. This cooperative thing feels like the game is playing you, rather than the other way...
I picked up War of the Rings last Friday. Its an awesome game but terribly involved: lots of dice rolling and cards. Is anyone interested in playing it at...
I would like to play. I saw it at Gencon Indy and did not get a chance to try it. Are the rules for 4 player out there? el_durro2000 <grendel16@...>...
The description at the top of this page still says the next Games Day will be in July...maybe one of the moderators should change it to reflect the real date?...
I think its much better gameplay-wise since you're not just trying to conquer or save Middle Earth. As the good guys you're trying to hold off the evil armies...

An idea that hit me on the way home. Can we set up the games on the other side of the room; i.e., the side closest to the street and the door. This will make ...
