Completely unrelated to anything, has anyone played Wizard Kings, by Columbia? https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/692/wizard-kings

Looks pretty good but not new by any standard.
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

Wizard Kings.  Sounds like an LA gang.

Never owned or played it.

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.

I see there is a new Russian Campaign up at GMT. Normally east front bores me but my Avalon Hill copies are rather ragged.

I wonder if there's a Union player phase where you can just sit there and watch people starve, or if you just have to go with the automatic Opportunity Fire, LOL.

Ah Pea Ridge. Definitely one of the most satisfying and decisive Union victories.

It's actually a Consimworld Press production, IIRC.  They may use the same printing house in the PRC, but at least they seem to be staying loyal to the original game.  They're going to be doing the same thing with Afrika Corps.
