| Thu, 15 March 2007 On Board Games Episode 1 Show Notes Recently, Erik played Heroscape, Bootleggers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Nexus Ops Scott and Don played, Hammer of the Scots, War on Terror, and Alles Fucht Turns out, Scott isn't a complete jerk The roundtable talks about quitting a game in progress Erik is too nice to bail out Scott proposes to the table if no one is having fun, one player is really doing well and no one else is having fun, if you screw up the rules so badly you just have to stop, or a game is just broken Erik realized that when filling the ship in Puerto Rico you don't count the empty plantations Scott played Marvel Superheroes by playing through a few turns by himself Scott also played Iliad as a six player partnership game it has a similar mechanic as Beowolf Buffy is nice because it was a group of players that bond together. It is a roll and move but has nice mechanics. Plays like a faster Doom or Descent. There is an interview with Niagara Board Gaming Weekend, Mike Cardwell He discusses when to plan an event, how to choose a hotel, the timeline of the event, marketing, etc. Scott likes playing long games like Roads and Boats and 1861 at events Erik likes playing with different people because they tend to use different strategies Don and Erik went to Conestoga last year and had fun playing Wreckage There are 4 basic types of events: Demos, tournaments, scheduled games, open gaming Don had best results with scheduled time slots Don reviews about Sante Anno Scott and Don preview Tide of Iron - in Stereo!
