Apparently I pre-ordered Cataclysm, since it just arrived in the mail...

Verdict plz. I haven't paid for it yet.

I think it looks like a really interesting idea. How it plays I ahve no idea.

I played more John Company today. Great game. Would encourage anyone that enjoys negotiation-heavy games with a risk-management component.
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.

It has some pretty neat ideas.

I really like that it really embraces a strategic scale.

Speaking of strategic, I don't see myself playing much of anything except WiF until the new Larry Harris game War Room comes out sometime early next year.

I played it in a boardgame convention in Barcelona when I was a kid. It obsessed me so much that I tried to recreate it with cardboard and my terrible design skills, since the game was not commercially available in Spain. But the whole starships firing at each other concept was just too good for a 12 year old.

Got around to play Great Western Trail today, which had sat on a friend's shelf for nearly half a year until we decided to give it a go (too many games...). Great eurogame.

 :D I played that for the first time yesterday. It's an interesting mix of Caylus, deckbuilding, and worker-placement Euros. I enjoyed it and will happily play again, though doubt I'd shell out for my own copy.

I definitely enjoyed the different mechanics implemented and how they meshed with each other. I won using a deckbuilding-only strategy, but not sure how that viable will be once we really figure the game out.
What I liked about it is that despite the game being medium-heavy-ish, turns go quick and fast, with minimal AP.

I am contemplating running a Languish game of Cataclysm:

I'd be also quite alright with GMing, having 3 of you play, if there's interest. I don't expect us to be able to field a one player per country setup.
