Ok, Pandemic II is now over. SFS is interested in playing another one. Anyone else interested too? If yes, suggest the setup.
How about a standard game but with 6 or even 7 Epidemics cards?

I just won a Legendary VS+Mutation 3 player game last night (Well, 6 Epidemics). Random Role assignment too!
Title: Re: Non-Mafia Games Queue
Post by: mith on January 04, 2013, 05:24:12 pm
6 Epidemics is only Heroic. :P (But congrats! V+M is a big challenge even on normal.)

I consider 6 V+M Legendary. ;D I've never won with 7 around... and I think I'm at maaaaybe 15% with 6! Last night we rolled Medic + Containment Specialist, which helped considerably, and then our last was the Epidemiologist, who we just had shadow us everywhere we went to take cards. We opened with 2 black cities at 3, and 2 at 2 (so 10 cubes), but 6 in blue. We (somehow) managed to get it to 6/6 by the time the VS hit (second player's turn), and drew blue on the coin-flip, which meant we could stay near Atlanta and not have to worry as much about spreading Stations around - which none of us were designed to do easily!

Oh forgot to reply, I'd be happy to join a Pandemic game. I kinda dislike that it's easy to play by single person directing, which has kinda happened a little but not too much. Just a flaw (or feature if you prefer) of the game I guess.

At least two games on there aren't even co-ops ??? - BSG and Shadows over Camelot.
Title: Re: Non-Mafia Games Queue
Post by: Grujah on February 08, 2013, 03:21:47 pm
Depends on definition of "co-op" I guess.
Title: Re: Non-Mafia Games Queue
Post by: Tables on February 08, 2013, 03:32:36 pm
I don't think any reasonable definition of co-op involves traitor games. They're extremely different genres.

They actually discuss this in the video.  They decide that BSG still fits under co-op, but on the line, and that there's no question for SoC especially because there isn't always a traitor.

I should mention that I played a whole bunch of IRL Resistance recently, and it was crazy fun. For small numbers of people, it's vastly more fun than mafia, which doesn't actually get good IRL unless you have at least 13 people.

I personally like Resistance more than Mafia IRL because people don't die.  I think I like Mafia more than Resistance in PBF because you can track all those interactions better, and that makes Mafia more exciting.  Plus Role Madness.

Would someone want to run another Shadows over Camelot? It's a fun game, and could run at a pretty fast pace with the right crowd.

We like to play Resistance IRL (I'd be down to play if another game ever popped up) but we'll occasionally get a game that takes 90 minutes to 2 hours. :o

I believe I have this completely up to date. If I'm missing something, please let me know. I'm going to try and change how we do game creation and signups slightly to make it easier for new players to get in and join us, but that'll be in another thread. For now, if you're hosting or playing in a game, and you see any mistakes in this thread, speak up.

Edit: Oh wait I came here for a reason. Add me down as a willing to mod for T'zolkin: The Mayan Calendar. I do believe it should be relatively easy to mod, in terms of board stuff. And I'm sure I can convince a friend to lend me his copy long enough that I can collate all the cards and stuff into a document.
Note I won't be starting this for at least two weeks, because exams.

Edit 2: Oh wait I'm in the wrong thread aren't I? Eh...

I'm in the same boat with Room 25 (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=8342.0;all).

I'd hate to replace him. He's been so active before, so I wonder if he's been hospitalized or worse. I know sometimes a person gets bored and stops visiting, but he doesn't strike me as that type. I don't really know Qvist.

But it's been 9 days since his last login. I may post in the replacement thread soon.

Yeah, I'm wooried about him as well.
However, he has been quite busy often lately, so I hope it's just that.

Qvist disappeared for a few months before and then people started wondering if there would be a second card rankings list so someone found him on a different forum and coaxed him back here...

So, I'm thinking of running something (that I know similar things have been done before on other sites) where the players are in some made up place, and do stuff there.  I tell them what happens when they do something.  It would have a few extra twists that have been made on this version of the game (my brother actually made it).  My main thing is I would want to see if there was interest in it beforehand.  I would want 3-4 players.

Some sort of role playing game?

Somewhat.  Basically, I'll start (after signups and things) saying, (this is a random example) "You all are trapped in an office room.  What do you do?" then someone says, "I pick up the chair and throw it at the door" and then I'll say what it does. (maybe "it crashes the door down")  That's just a random example, but it would keep on going like this.  It's fairly fun, and I don't want to start it or anything unless others say they want to.

Is it planned out?  Like, is there a basic plot ahead?  Do we create characters with stats and equipment and roll dice to do things?

Or is this just a fun exercise where you create the scenario on the fly?  Like a choose-your-own-adventure that is written as you go?

The second one.  And, I only say what happens.  What the players do change the plot.  The best players are those who realize they are the ones making things happen not the "narrator" as it's called for this game.

Would it be possible for someone to mod a game of 7 Wonders? I've run most of the previous ones and would like to play in the next game.

As Grujah pointed out. Vassal only offers the game components and often automatic setup and automatic tasks, but no rules, because of copyright.
I checked and it doesn't seem that the Vassal module got updated, so only Pandemic and On the Brink so far.
I guess, you have to make a spreadsheet.

This might be a better place to post this...

So I got the Village for christmas, and while I have played 3 or 4 games of it, I don't really know what I'm doing and haven't won yet :P  Anyways, it's not terribly complex, there is not much hidden information.  In fact, there really isn't any.  So I'm thinking it could be easily done in a PBF format, and I think the moderator could even play, assuming you guys would trust that they would put the cubes on the spaces using a RNG and was truthful about it.  Anyone interested in playing it?  Looking for 3-4 people.

Post by: AHoppy on February 27, 2014, 08:16:39 am
I feel like the hardest thing about modding will be randomly generating the cubes.  but even that could be done on the forum with dice.  Tables, you can mod if you want.  I also had ghostofmars sound interested in a game, as long as it starts after 3/9. 
Title: Re: Non-Mafia Games Queue
Post by: Watno on February 27, 2014, 08:44:27 am
random.org List randomizer (http://www.random.org/lists/) should allow distributing cubes pretty easily.
Title: Re: Non-Mafia Games Queue
Post by: Tables on February 27, 2014, 09:14:12 am
Easiest way to do the cubes I would think is, make a list of the cubes in the bag, =rand() next to each cube, sort by the =rand() column, then just copy paste things from there.

It'll probably take me a while to make the sheet. There's quite a bit going on in Village, and I haven't personally played in a few months so I'll also need to refresh myself on the rules.

Edit: This one is gonna be tough to make an effective sheet for. Harder than Tzolk'in. I'll be making it here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FwaSm9AXiUx1IAHLJe3qmDK4LV33fHAIhs6vFc2zlfA/edit#gid=0) if for some reason you want to follow my progress (or more importantly give advice?)

Edit2: Phew, getting the travel section just right took a while. And I bet I could have still done it much prettier and much quicker (It's because I'm learning from Goko instead of Isotropic I suppose)

Edit3: Ugh, yet another word to remember that Americans spell incorrectly differently to us. You spell it plow, we spell it plough. Only realised after typing out 'plow' and then thinking it looked wrong.

It sounds like Village already has four people interested in it, possibly (Qvist, AHoppy, Liopoil, Ghostofmars), which is good. It means I can finish off the spreadsheet and then start the thread closer to the time (3/9 you said).

Also, another plug for the co-op deckbuilder mentioned before, because hey, it's fun, and it has Dominion like elements without trying to be Dominion.

Regarding Village spreadsheet: I think it might be easier to just abbreviate the cubes to single letters:
P-Pink, G-Green, O-Orange, B-Brown, K-Black or something like that.
The current 3 letter abbreviations of words no one ever uses would confuse me I think.

I like Clash of Cultures, and it would probably be workable, would need lots of map images though
Title: Re: Non-Mafia Games Queue
Post by: Tables on February 28, 2014, 11:39:24 am
Hmm... right now, I was only using the abbreviations in a few places. I'm not sure I like the idea of reducing the cubes to a single letter, but I've extended the Village board to have longer words in place of the abbreviations (Skill, Knwl., Pers., Faith and Plague). And I've tried to have things colour coded, where possible, as well. Do you think this is better or should I do something else?

Edit: I've tried to stick to the official terminology as much as possible, and so have also corrected every instance of the word 'meeple' with 'family member' (except when referring to monks). I think this is actually at a point I could mod a game from it.

Pandemic (did this just not have enough interest to continue?)

Acquire (why did the single game I found die without a finish?)

I believe it was my turn, and I was waiting on a tile...I PM'd Arch about it and he said that he had accidentally jumbled up the tiles, and it wasn't worth continuing. So that's the story with Acquire

I'd be up for this too. Or Resistance/ Resistance:Avalon. Most of the other games I've seen on here I haven't played.

I'd be up for Pandemic. The advantage is that the mod could play to if we play without Bioterrorist.
I could mod once the Alchemist game finishes.

I recently played the game Amyitis (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/29934/amyitis) (Rules & Hint sheet link (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/208544/rules-and-player-aid-online)) for the first time, and I think it'd make a good forum game candidate. It's a game which can throw lots of options at you, but which you can plan a few turns ahead, so forum game is great for giving you the time to think about each move. And it's fun!

The game is about building the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. You do this by hiring various workers to do things for you, gaining resources and other things while also managing the caravan travelling around Messopotamia, bringing you upgrades and the plants necessary for the construction. The game is primarily a resource management game, with an emphasis on timing your actions to gain the biggest benefits and to limit opponents.

Any interest? I'll run it if at least three people want in. Note that I'm expecting first time players so don't worry if you haven't played.

Title: Re: Non-Mafia Games Queue
Post by: ghostofmars on March 25, 2015, 05:42:42 pm
Anyone interested in playing Roads & Boats?

It's a civilization-building/logistic game that plays up to 4 players (more with expansion). The focus is more on planning and less on conflict. I think it is well suited for a forum game, because the long individual turns don't matter so much at the slower pace of a forum game and early turns can be done simultaneously. Furthermore, you start from very little in the beginning so that the complexity increases with your skill (if you are new to the game).

Here a short summary from one review on bgg
Quote
Roads & Boats is a brilliant but slow brain-burner for 1-4 players, with lots of high-quality bits and high replay value. Long-range planning and replanning every turn is rewarded, and it's about logistics more than conflict. Players own the transports to move things around, and anything on those transports, but everything else is up for grabs. Much of the play is simultaneous. An expansion (&cetera) allows for up to six players and added potential weirdness.

Victory points are based mostly on money (stock, coins and gold), but the manufacturing chain required to create these things is lengthy. One can also earn a few VPs by contributing resources to the "Wonder" (like the Cheops historical scenario for Settlers). The completion of the Wonder ends the game, as does a set number of turns.

The rules are 15 pages, but relatively simple, with lots of examples and graphics. It's not the rules that are the brain-burner, but the actual play.

Yes.

(Shall we use a different starting ruleset this time? Such that the game doesn't stall if a player refuses to take his turn?)
Title: Re: Non-Mafia Games Queue
Post by: Twistedarcher on November 01, 2015, 04:55:38 pm
Yes, I think I'd want a different ruleset. Smaller ideally, where we could start playing the game rather than spending a few months actually fixing the rules.

I'll go through the old ruleset and see what I think is essential and cut everything else, and see if people think that's a good starting point. Do mutable/unmutable rules seem essential or unnecessary?
Title: Re: Non-Mafia Games Queue
Post by: Jack Rudd on November 02, 2015, 07:06:46 pm
Mutable/immutable is a nice way to give people an idea of what is "only touch this if you feel you have to", but I'm not especially attached to it if other people think it's unnecessary.

We actually set that up. I think it's technically still my turn (although anyone can call my turn over at any time). I'd be up for starting a new game. I did have a go at a sensible set of starting rules (not sure if I still think they're sensible) - feel free to use them or not as you wish if you're setting up a new game: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=9859.0

I agree that mutable/immutable isn't necessarily necessary, and just made things difficult last time when we wanted to change them.

OK, I'll work on a rule-set that's hopefully agreeable and post it for input (probably in a new thread). I think capping the number of players will also probably create a better game.

Not sure if I agree or not, but I think it's something to discuss after the game has started.

Yes, that's the point - the next rule would reset the game to a new game with new players. Part of the spirit of a nomic, really.

Anyway it was only a semi-serious suggestion.

I haven't updated this post in a long time as I wasn't really interested in playing forum games lately. Is there any need to keep this up to date? I mean there wasn't really a lot going on besides of Codenames.

Also I'm interested to play forum games again. Anyone else interested? Who likes to moderate what game? I would be open to moderate some games as well.

As explained here: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=14540.msg557806#msg557806
I like to try out one of these dice games: Favor of the Pharaoh, Dice City, Artifacts Inc.
New on my list is also Valeria Card Kingdoms, a fantasy themed Machi Koro with less player interaction but more satisfaction as you get your ressources a lot fester. Also it has hidden goals. As far I can tell they would all work well via PBF; I just don't own the games and need to look up if I can find the card texts. And of course someone needs to be interested.

Is anyone interested in a PBF again? I would like to organize a few games. I just need players. Learning Colonists atm. Really cool game, like Anno the Board Game. It would work really well as PBF. I have Tabletop Simulator btw now as well. I would use screenshots from that. Old favourites like Pandemic and Mage Knight would work as well, but I am open to most suggestions.

Anyone want to play games directly on TTS, I would be open too as well. Would love to play through Pandemic Legacy again with a play group.

Game of what exactly?
Title: Re: Non-Mafia Games Queue
Post by: Qvist on January 12, 2018, 02:09:40 am
Colonists
Title: Re: Non-Mafia Games Queue
Post by: Qvist on January 12, 2018, 08:34:10 am
Here a short rundown on Colonists for those on the fence:

The game is fairly simple at its core. You have a main meeple (Steward) that you move on a hex grid of tiles. To every tile you move to, you do what the tile says which is gathering resources or spending them for buildings on your tableau for the most part. You have 3 moves per turn, that is basically the core of it.

Rules in a nutshell:

- The game takes place over 4 eras, each 5 years long, each 2 half-years, each taking each player 3 moves on a hex grid of tiles, making this 120 moves per player.
- Each Hex Tile triggers an action. The actions are mostly
-- either gathering the resources
-- or refining the resources (wood into planks, clay into bricks, ore into bars)
-- or spending the resources for a building that you add to your tableau. Sometimes you also
-- sell resources for money (=VP)
-- get cards
-- play cards

3 more key rules:

1.) Moving: You can either move to an adjacent tile (you can only go to a tile if you can fulfill the action) or jump to a Market of your choice. You can't end after 3 moves on the same spot you started. If you enter a space of an opponent you have to pay him a fee (exception: Markets).
2.) Paying resources: You need to have the full cost in your storage available. Additional resources in warehouses or production building buffers (which can store one year worth of production) aren't available to you. But you can swap the content of storage and warehouse, move buffer resources to your storage or get rid of resources before any action.
3.) Workers: Almost every building needs to be run by a worker. There are 3 tiers: Farmer (green), Citizen (yellow), Merchant (red) and the icon of the building shows by which kind of worker and how many it needs to be run. Each year and when you man a building you have to pay food and/or clothes depending on the tier of the worker.

Other than that you just follow the order of events. Every year there is sustenance and production, additional tiles get added to the grid. Every era the card piles get swapped. Moves are fairly straightforward in my experience quite often (most of the 120 turns are quite obvious), difficulty comes mainly into play through the random 4 out of 8 colony buildings that are in the game which drastically change your game powers and deciding for the correct colonies is quite important. Not sure why Watno's group's experience was so long, I have only played Singleplayer though so far. Box basically says 4h for the full game. First game of course takes longer. Rules: http://mayfairgames.com/files/supportfiles/thecolonists_rules_en_v7.pdf

I would be happy to organize a game and if no one objects play in it. The only hidden information are the cards, but knowing these doesn't change much I believe for the majority of the game.
