board game question (d20dwarf, you listening?maldur?)

[alsih2o]

when d20 dwarf stayed at my place we played a fantastic game where you place castle and monster chips on a square bopard, by some german fellow he was nice enough to introduce me too at the con.

fortress? frontiers? something like thta, should be back in print soon. anyone know this one? anyone wanna sell a copy?

It was certainly Reiner Knizia, but I'm not sure which game.

hey thanks, that at least gives me something to plug into search engines besides "cool game with little cardboard pieces"

 

[d(sqrt(-1))]

Kingdoms, by Reiner Knizia, from Fantasy Flight, which is a redone version of his earlier game Auf Heller und Pfennig:

I'd recommend most things by Reiner - especially Euphrates & Tigris, Lord of the Rings, Ra, Modern Art and High Society...

cheers,

Well, if sqrt (-1) means the imaginary number i (the square root of negative one is not a real number, so it is an imaginary number) then you could pronounce the name "dee eye". The imaginary die (for when you have no real chance of making a skill roll dc?)
