Gauging Interest: Ground Floor--Started!
« on: March 06, 2013, 02:31:09 am »
This is a very recent addition... I think that, technically, it's not in stores yet, and only Kickstarter backers have copies.  It's a great little economic simulation and worker placement game--but it has the disadvantage of being very long.  Particularly if you play with anyone with a massive case of AP.  The game length in-person rivals that of Through the Ages.

And because you only play one action per turn, it's going to take longer by forum that TTA will, although the annoyance of waiting on a territory auction won't be terrible.

So, the game is here:  http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/38765/ground-floor
The rules are here:  http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/82373/ground-floor-rules

And I'm interested in running the game.  So... anyone interested in playing?

I give up.  What is AP?  I checked the list of possible Wikipedia entries and the closest thing to gaming was Action Points...

Yeah, its Analysis Paralyisis, for people who agonise over every decision, or for when there are so many decisions to make each turn that it overwhelms people

What Ozle said.  People like me, with severe Analysis Paralysis, almost need a timer for certain games when played in person.

I'm glancing at the rulebook, but I think I might be too tired to comprehend it. I might be interested.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

I might play. I haven't a clue how to play, but hopefully could figure it out from the rulebook.

Absolutely you should be able to.

I'll leave this open for signups for a couple more days, then start setting things up.

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

This is why I like two-player games.  If I lose, I can casually mention how I came in second but my opponent was next-to-last.  (Yeah, old joke, I know.)

Also, I will give some helpful strategy tips.

I'm working on setting things up right now, though I'm on a plane all day tomorrow.  Expect this to start late Tuesday or Wednesday (late EST).
