If you don't mind a leisurely pace, I'll give it a shot once the game arrives.

I played Avalon Hill's 1979 version of Dune this weekend. Damn fine game, but very grinding. Ended up the second game of the session with a splitting headache.

Ah, the wargame headache. I hate those.

COA's Fires of Midway is complete; playtesting is wrapped up.  Placement on the production table is next.

I think you guys will get a kick out of it when it comes out.

[Caliga]

Nice, did you: playtest it.

You rang?

Sorry, haven't played it, only seen it laid out, it looks good, but it's all I can say.

I just ordered Republic of Rome and should have a copy later in the week.  Habs if you're still going to run a pbem game and the players aren't maxed I'd love to give it a go.

Ok need some more advice about board games.  The boys - now 13 and almost 11 - want to go to the boardgame shop and pick up a new game(s).


The board games we currently play most often are Settlers of Catan, Carcassone and Age of Empires III.  Also, we have a nice big room downstairs to devote to gaming so keeping games out between play sessions wont be a problem.

All your suggestions are welcome.

If they're playing Age of Empires III they're ready for pretty much anything.   What do they enjoy the most?

If they're really into Carcassone and Settlers then i'd suggest more games like that... Agricola, Stone Age, Smallworld.  If they're more into Age of Empires then i'd suggest Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization which is pretty good fun.  The full game clocks in around 4 hours.  Other options in that vein could be Imperial or Twilight Struggle.

Agricola is great, but may be a bit too complex, especially for the younger one. It has the positive side in that it can be played by varying numbers of people, from 3 to 5, without it loosing much in the way of playability.

I'd try Puerto Rico or Ticket to Ride first.
