  • Now let us see what the future will bring...

So! ....what are we going to do for SNF while Cyrano is gone on his recon mission?

Plans may have been made already; I'm just checking.  8)

In case there's a lack of other plans...

0.) Drink. (I assume this was going to happen anyway. ;) )

1.) SDR, I think, asked about Interplanetary a few weeks ago. This is a nifty turn-based WEGO combination of a (surprisingly nuanced) 4x game and artillery duel, set on randomly generated solar systems. (Well, 3x because there's no exploration per se.) Each player starts off with a basic city and a gun on a spherical planet orbiting their central star, and every turn each player plots what to build and where on the planet, plus whether to take a shot at someone else with increasingly powerful interplanetary weapons. Then when everyone has submitted their turns, the game advances simultaneously a few months (relative to a standard Earth orbit) of everyone's orbit around the star, some planets moving faster than others depending on their orbits, and any shots are calculated -- with changing gravity effects! Full price for the Enhanced (i.e. current) edition is only $15, and it isn't on sale, but it's well worth the price.

2.) I could host a COIN game on TTS, some of which I'm familiar with (like Fire in the Lake), others a little less so (like Falling Sky), and some I haven't played yet at all (like A Distant Plain).

3.) If we have three players, or me and three players, I've mentioned "Churchill" before: a political card game about the Big Three Allies negotiating how to win WW2 (and become the most influential super-power in the post-war era).

4.) ???
