You know what I think would be neat? If we ran a teams tournament for games that don't necessarily have teams.

i.e. a 4 player Carc game where players 1 & 2 are playing against players 3 & 4... even though there's no team dynamic integrated into Carcassonne, we would just accumulate the overall score between the players at the end of the game. So you'd actually have something like player 3 finishing off a city for player 4, which is something you'd normally rarely see in a game.

For a game like Lost Cities, you can only do 1v1, but there could still be teams using the accumulative score. So player 1 faces player 3, and in a separate game player 2 faces player 4, and after the games have been played, whichever team has the highest accumulative score moves on.

That make sense?

Thats completely fucking ridiculous.






and I think it sounds awesome, haha.

 

[superrobot]

Basically the Ryder Cup of board games - I'm in.

 

[CzarTim]

Totally in for Carc. I also wouldn't mind an excuse to get everyone playing SW again.

 

[Slacker]

Looks like the invite system for Eclipse shares the quirkiness from the other Big D games. I got a notification that Czartim invited me to a game but don't see it on the online list. >__<

 

[eznark]

I'm in for all tournaments at all times.


...

except maybe Penny Arcade

This is exactly what I imagine. Let's do this!

 

[mercviper]

Team Carc sounds good. Or anything else, really.

 

[Slacker]

I love the Team Carc idea. I'm down for Ticket to Ride too if that ever gets traction around here.

Team USA vs Europe! Lets do this!

I dont think TtR is ever getting traction around here.

 

[Heel]

I'm down if we figure out how to fairly construct the teams.

If not, let me know if you're looking for a Lost Cities partner Mike.

 

[blahness]

I am down for any of the tournaments (i usually lose, but doesn't matter to me since I have fun ) especially Nightfall and TtR. Aside from tournaments, I am open to playing just about any game mentioned including Le Havre.

What about Canada

 

[eznark]

What about Canada

Go Sharks!

 

[RaySpencer]

Go Sharks!

More Canadians on the sharks anyway I'm sure.

 

[eznark]

Certainly more Badgers.

Can I mark you down for the Neuroshima Hex one then?

Certainly more Badgers.

O_O

 

[AstroLad]

I live ten minutes from the Sharks arena. Go Sharks!
(Don't really follow hockey much though .)

I suppose I bought nightfall so I could play it. Count me in.

I hate the canucks. Go sharks!

Fun fact: i picked the sharks as my nhl team just becauase theyre in san jose and a city named after me was so cool to 5 yr old me

 

[superrobot]

Nightfall - yes please

lol yep - you already passed last turn, so we're waiting for you to slide your finger from one side to the other to pass again.

 

[AstroLad]

Once we get through this first round of Eclipse games we definitely need to do a live 4p game. Would probably take an hour at most. Almost tempted to do it now but all five games are at least somewhat active so nothing to delete.

Yeah, a live game would be great. It would be a good idea to go through the first games anyway though, so everyone (mostly) understands the rules.


Might be a good idea to set up a second account in their system though, Ive got 2 already, im not using both yet, but I will soon.

What did I ever do to deserve this! Except hurt Ray's ego

 

[RaySpencer]

If it makes you feel better, I dont like the Sharks either...



I have no ego either, not sure why you think you could hurt it

 

[eznark]

What did I ever do to deserve this! Except hurt Ray's ego

Nothing. I just root for the team with the most Badgers in every series. It helps that the Sharks have my favorite player in Pavelski. I don't follow the NHL too closely. College hockey and international tournaments is where it's at!

 

[Flynn]

Sorry, dudes. I picked that race that starts with like 26 credits so lots of passing required for that first round.

Yeah, Eradani make for a really weird first round, and a really shitty second if you dont get some good planets when you explore, haha.

 

[superrobot]

Rudiger Dorn's Las Vegas coming to the App Store on May 9th according to Ravensburger.
They will have async multiplayer and implement the white dice (which is important from reading reviews )

Now someone needs to implement Rudiger Dorn's Jambo, which would be brilliant on iOS.

 

[CzarTim]

I'd be up for a live game of Eclipse. Let me know when it's going down.

 

[Squirrel Killer]

I've got both Nightfall and Neuroshima Hex and they both get too little play, so sign me up for a first round exit in each.

 

[eznark]

I've got Nightfall but I don't think I have ever even opened the app.

I'm in!

 

[Snakethesniper]

Just bought Neuroshima Hex, do you suggest to buy the races too?

 

[Heel]

I've got Nightfall but I don't think I have ever even opened the app.

I'm in!

lol I even bought the expansion and haven't made it through the tutorial yet. I think I'll sit this one out.

Its your turn in 2 Stone Age matches too! gogogo!

Just bought Neuroshima Hex, do you suggest to buy the races too?

I would say play against the AI for a few matches till you know whats going on, and if you like it buy all the armies, everyone of them is awesome and gives you a complete new way to play. Highly worth it if you enjoy the game.

lol I even bought the expansion and haven't made it through the tutorial yet. I think I'll sit this one out.

Bah, thats no excuse! Learn it and play it!! Im putting you in the tournament, shut up and have fun!

Weird they were there pretty recently, I guess they finally timed out, haha. Oh well!

Yay!! Peer pressure!!

 

[CzarTim]

I have room for one game of Eclipse if someone wants to make one.

 

[DukeSucks]

Thinking about getting Lost Cities, is it easy to learn? I pretty much only have carc and ascension as iOS boardgames

 

[Mike Works]

Very easy to learn.

 

[eznark]

Man I feel like that eclipse tutorial was totally useless

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Man I feel like that eclipse tutorial was totally useless

There's a few good rule overview vids of the boardgame that may be better if you look around BGG.

 

[AstroLad]

To be fair it's a really complicated game that takes 45m+ to teach IRL. There is really no mobile board game tutorial that's truly great imo (even Carc's is wanting in some areas like farms, and that game is uber simple) but they did a good job what what they had I think. Next step I would suggest reading through the in-game manual and you'll have all the core game down. It's so simple and fun once you just learn it.
