PrezCon was somewhat smaller this year (two people who might know said 20%, but I don't know if that was from certain knowledge. Effects of poor economy. ...
... I think that Blue is favoured by polite games. The Angles, in particular, are fairly vulnerable but have a very high potential score if they are left in...
... Statistics: 928 total (241-269-196-222) is highest in db, so that's almost 40 points more than anybody has reported to me before! Lowest recorded is ...
Which reminds me, Pekka, you haven't been getting the scoresheets from PrezCon, have you? Did you get the scores from last WBC, I think Jim Jordan said Rick...
I played two games of Britannia at PrezCon. I played Green in one game and Red in the other. I finishes a distant second in both games. I believe we were two...
For some reason FFG dropped most of the errata we had collected, so it would seem proper to create a common set of errata so that everyone would not have...
Still haven't seen the new version, though I was told at PrezCon that the black line on the lower part of the pieces has been removed, and the board is a...
A board game mocumentary that might be of some interest to list members: Advanced Battlefield Technowar Version VI (the movie) Similar to the interfamous Fear...
... I would love to get involved in my first ever game. Please advise what steps I need to take to begin, e.g. do I need any software like cyberboard> I am a...
I recently wrote a submission rule for Dominance of the Old World, a Risk-substitute or "Risk designed in 2009" game I'm working on. Since we've talked about...
... Three times as many seems like a lot. Also, if other rules allow this, a player can concentrate all/most of his forces in attacks on the subordinate, so...
With regards to breaking free of submission I think something similar to the rules in Chariot Lords may work. A submitted nation is freed if there are no...
... Three may be a lot for some games, though in this particular one 6-2 is likely to happen, though perhaps not 9-3. Two times may not be enough to avoid...
There was a mixup at the factory and the foreign language copies of the Brit reprint I was supposed to get have not been sent yet. So I still haven't seen...
I have just received my copies of the foreign editions of Brit (delayed by a miscommunication within FFG). Owing to an oddity of the contract (like, we forgot...
This is the current state of the submission rule in Dominance. It works well to move the game along; instead of taking time to finish off the player who...
Not sure about the adjacent areas condition for unsubmitting, this could lead to artificial play where a subject might engineer these circumstances by starting...
In this particular game every island is connected to other areas by straits, so the problem would not arise. Also, I'll keep my eye out for vacant area...
I've never had a good answer to this one, and it's rarely discussed before a game. Is brit a game a game of 1 winner and 3 equally miserable losers, or is it a...
Dear Luke, I will attempt to answer your deepest of Britannia questions well. Truly, your question goes to the deeper issues of life. You will find different...
I think, that to answer that question, you have to split the game into two; the essence and the flavour. The flavour is all the things that makes games...
This is a great response by Luke to his own question and an awesome post for the simplicity of its presentation. Now for the translation. If Luke wins, He is...
