Been playing Versailles 1919 this summer with my group. It's a fun game with a variety of what can happen, so replayability is good. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/253506/versailles-1919

So being back in Hungary with just a backpack I face a choice. I can probably fit in one game from my old collection to it on our way back, so what it should be for some scisophrenic solitairing back home?

For the People, Clash of Monarchs, or Kingdom of Heaven?

Clash. Clash of Sovereigns is on the not-too-distant horizon!
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Speaking of: it doesn't have to be solitaire. I'd be up for a 3-player game of CoM with the latest errata.

Oh, that's good to know, thanks!

I will have immense workload from my return until the last week of September, so thats the earliest I should commit to any pbem, but I like the idea.

I got 1066, Tears to Many Mothers. Mostly because I'm into that time period right now (see the miniatures thread). And because the cards look pretty cool (even if they're not always fully historical). Reading the cards while sleeving was also a mini course in the events of that year.

It's a very neat game. Hope you enjoyed Magic: The Gathering.  :D

Never played it, but I did enjoy the Vampire game.

Jyhad/The Eternal Struggle is also one of the best-designed card games of all time, so you're in good company there.

Got some Unfathomable on the table this past weekend. It's in the same style as Battlestar Galactica, but with some streamlining, a different theme, and some of the mechanics from various BSG expansions rolled in while some of the...dumber stuff was left by the wayside. Lots of fun, and will probably replace the original BSG for me over time.

Interesting.

Pax Pamir 2nd edition just arrived. Will probably have an opportunity to play it tomorrow night...

While it makes sense, I didn't realize BSG was out of print.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Yes, and highly unlikely the rights are ever given to FFG again. So, they scooped the guts out of the system, took them home, and plugged them into their Arkham Horror brandline.

It sucks that BSG and its ilk are out of print, but I don't know the details behind why. Hopefully something else is done with the IP besides just squatting on it.
