SNF -- August 31, 2019 -- SPI 30 YW Quad MULTIPLAY

[Cyrano]

Or, eight drunk guys in a a canoe with Arquebuses...

I might have written something about the golden age of gaming.

This might have prompted me to want to play an SPI classic on SNF.

The problem always is, though, that very few support MP.

And then it hit me:  There are TWO excellent quads where all FOUR games are available simultaneously.

This next Saturday, we are going to shove this sucker straight against the wall and see if it breaks by getting as many Dragoons as we can to play one of the four games.

I have the rules in a Dropbox ready to share.

Let's do this and troop the olde colours.

I'd be interested in trying, but I can't promise I'll have a lot of time to look at rules...I'm in rehearsals and that'll take up my Monday through Thursday evenings next week.

[Cyrano]

Considering the rules run to less than five pages...NO EXCUSES!!!

Break a leg!

[BanzaiCat]

Five pages is do-able!

[Barthheart]

In!

Mirth, you need in on this.....

[mirth]

Can I get a look at the rules? I can't guarantee it, but next week is possible for me. It s a kid-free weekend.

What a world.

Note that this pack, for some reason, repeats the standard rules for each of the games and includes a full counter sheet, so the 30-plus pages is deceptive.

[BanzaiCat]

Is it Thirty Years War Quad?

[Cyrano]

Yes.

I don't know.... I'm having a hard time keeping all these rules in my head at one time.... is there a simpler set of games we could try? Maybe Case Blue or something similar?

[bbmike]

Something with meeples perhaps?

What sort of evil monster are you to post something like that? I don't even understand how someone can make a game that so clearly relies on the exploitation of post-people and the unfair treatment of correspondence. This sort of thing is not the subject for "play." In fact, I think we should never mention postal workers, letters, or the delivery thereof ever again.

Savages.

I am not sober, but, damn, I'm still laughing.
