Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I'm certain that 2 or 3 of my friends will be getting this, so I hope to give it a try when they get it.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Hahma,
Actually, I printed out the long playtest version of Victory or Death a few months ago but never got around to it! (I had playtested QMG:Air Marshal here with the designer once). It certainly looked interesting on a quick glance. But I'm getting pretty tired of Kickstarter and its accursed "exclusives!" Especially after running down almost all of them for Blood Rage! Speaking of which, my final two KS should be out around late March/April: Age of Conan: Adventures In Hyboria Expansion Mare Nostrum Empires Almost all of my half dozen or so Kickstarters have been purchased for special reasons. In the cases above, I already have the old FFG core game for AOC. I only once got to play the old MN at a Con, since it was never released in the USA. It was always for me "the one that got away." And the new version looks to be even better. I'm also waiting now for more news on the new John Carter of Mars board game! I just read a great book on why the movie tanked. But JC will always rise again!!! After 100 years, he's still pretty durable as the original pulp super hero. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Yes that new "Star Wars: Rebellion" game from fantasy Flights does L0^0K very *A*W*E*S*O*M*E* - I've been salivating over it for a long time and passed up the new Hasbro "Star Wars: RISK" version, intending this to be my next purchase. However, since ...
... in addition, I hope that logic prevails over emotion and I actually TRY it before I BUY it, so that it doesn't end up like the also awesome FF "Star Wars: Imperial Assault" which has been put away in the closet and hasn't been touched in months.

2 spaces out of easily 25 spaces are for slaves and the whole game is based on history. So if people have an issue with it, then their dumb assess don't need to buy or enjoy it.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
"The only solution is education."
--Dr. Martin Luther King Yes, its very interesting. Uwe E. of Academy Games just changed a resource in Mare Nostrum Empires, from "Slaves" to "Gladiators." I disagreed with him that such a level of PC was necessary. On the other hand, I have no problem with his Freedom, his game about the Underground Railroad conceptually (though I haven't seen or played it). But its very complex. At a Civil War museum in Philadelphia a few years back, a guide told me a Black man visiting was incensed over calling the troops of the time US Colored Troops, although the Black men of the time were proud to use that official title. So history and PC are all mixed up at this point. People need to discuss these things with a cool, rather than an ideological or emotional head. When I used to teach "Cultural Diversity" (not "Political Correctness"), we had some fruitful discussions among people of many different backgrounds. But I can think of three times over those years when I myself made someone else unhappy with something I said myself, even though I won a NYC award for my work. Its all about how you approach it, rather than what you say. |
