I really like the new PBF section of Non-Mafia games. Of course I could play on BGG too, but I like to play with those I already know.
It's great trying out new games I otherwise never had the opportunity to play and I really want to thank all moderators for all the work.
I want to give all of you the same opportunity. Thus, I moderated since a while a few games on my own.
Currently there is a mini-game for Pandemic IV where the winner wins to choose a game I will moderate.
With Small World coming to the end soon, I like to start another game soon. Here you can vote for the current games in selection.
(I hope it's possible to reset the poll at anytime once a game is selected)
Some comments on the games:
Small World (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40692/small-world) II: A light Risk variant game, just look into the game that's currently running (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=6331.0). We could now play with Underground for example. I will mod this with VASSAL and post the image in the updates.
Ikusa (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/221/ikusa) Another great Risk variant which is great beside the fact that it takes too long in F2F what makes it great to play it here. I would moderate it in an spreadsheet. As there is rolling dice in the battles, this could be done with conditional orders for example.
Panic Station (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/69552/panic-station): A semi-cooperative game in a Sci-Fi setting with a change the side twist. You'll feel paranoia while playing it, at least in F2F. I like to try it out in PBF. It's relatively simple to learn and highly recommended for those who like Mafia/Resistence. I will either use a Spreadsheet or will post the game board in-thread.
Sid Meier's Civilization: The Board Game (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/77130/sid-meiers-civilization-the-board-game): This is a more complicated Civilization building game and comparable to Through the Ages in depth and complexity. Still beginners are welcome if you want to try it out. I already attended a game PFB game of it on BGG and it worked really well. It's really complex to mod, but I really like to do that.
Mage Knight Board Game (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/96848/mage-knight-board-game): Another complex game, but I absolutely love it. Some Heroes go to an Adventure and try to achieve the task of the Scenario (often to beat the enemies located in some Cities). Deckbuilding simulates the leveling up of those heroes. It's really complex, but once you get into the rules it all makes sense very intuitively and thematicely. This can be played solo, cooperative, in teams (2v2) or PvP. For the first play-through the cooperative variant may be preferred. There exists a VASSAL module, but it only supports solo at the moment. But I could use the pictures for the map and stuff from VASSAL.
Long Shot (http://boardgamegeek.com/images/boardgame/40237/long-shot): I like this a lot although it's not a great game per se. It's Horse Race Game where you can either buy horses or bet on horses while the race is going. Also you can play Event cards each turn. The one with the most money wins in the end. It's just fun and has a higher luck factor. So, it's more a tactical game. This has also the advantage that it could played without spreadsheer or any image, just text based and PMs.
Also, I'd like to play some more games online on board gaming websites like http://www.yucata.de or http://www.boardgamearena.com or http://www.boiteajeux.net
I really love Speicherstadt, Saint Petersburg and Kamisado on yucata.
I like to learn/play:
Castles of Burgundy, Trajan, Alhambra on boiteajeux
Race for the Galaxy, Seasons, Jaipur, Takenoko, Caylus, Troyes on BGA
El Grande, Antike Duellum, Luna, Thurn and Taxis and many more on yucata
Just propose a game to me if you like to play one of these.

You might get more posts/votes if you move this (or ask theory to move this) to the forum games section (i.e. a level up). But I'm interested in both Civilisation and Panic Station here.

Would LOVE to play Mage knight.
Would be in for any of the scenarios.

I don't know if I can move this. And I thought I enabled multi-game voting, but somehow I didn't and I can't edit it anymore.

I'd really like Sid Meiers Civ, I only played it two times IRl and want to play it a bit more.
I'm also interested in Mage Knight, but I don't think I really like cooperative games via Forum.
-
I'd also play Castles of Burgundy @baj.
-
Mage knight can be competetive. Super competetive. Semi cooperative or full cooperative depending on the scenario
-
the thing is you need to discuss your moves with others, which means you got to wait for them.

Your not technically allowed to discuss what cards you have in your hand, you are allowed to ask if they think that X use of your cards is the best way to accomplish Y. but that only matters in the co-op scenario.
-
I didn't necessarily mean cooperative, just without PvP, so that it's easier for beginners.
-
So would anyone else be in for a game if Burgen von Burgund / Castles of Burgundy?
-
I would definitely be in for Mage Knight. I have wanted to play that game forever.
-
Hurrah! 4 for mage knight!
-
Just bumping this. 1 Round left in Small World, then the new game starts.
-
Hooray!

I'm willing to mod another game. Any suggestions?
-
How about Sid Meier's Civ? I like that game.

I like Civ too and would join.

I'd still be in for Civ
-
I would like to give Civ a go, but I'm not sure a PBF would be the best way to first experience it. Still if a 4th were needed I'd join.
