Ya, the game tends to drag after a point. I recently played Chuthlu 500, and that was a fun game. We ran into a few rules problems but I think that was more becasue the other people refused to listen to me. :D
What? Didn't you show them your post count? I mean, with that many you must have gotten something right at some point. :p

My latest fix has been Chrononauts. Orchid and myself got to play it at Pkitty's and we had a blast. So much that we went out and picked up a copy of the Early American Edition. Haven't had a chance to play that one yet. Going to have to drag guedo over some evening I'm around or something.

I've seen that one in the store. How many editions are there?

Just the two editions for now (the original Chrononauts game and Early American Edition). There are rules to combine the two decks to play a game of Ubernauts, but you'll need a very big surface to lay out the timeline (Early American goes from 1770 to 1916 and Chrononauts goes from 1886 to 1996).

We had a hard time deciding which edition to pick up. We finally decided on the one we hadn't played and figuring we'd pick up the other later.

The Early American one looks cool from reading through the cards, though it is obvious the designers were hungry when they made up the Mission cards cause they are all food oriented. I like the missions for the first game better, but the home timelines for the characters are just as interesting as the original game's. Course, you can't kill Hitler or save JFK or Lennon in this one. You can save Tecumsah or Garfield, though.
 



Hi all, just surfing the net at the main sites. Hows everyone tonight. I am finishing up my last night off this week...

I wish I was independantly wealthy.

Yup. they are each their own seperate game and they are lots of fun.

Your group isn't into card games, Steve?
Oh, they do. They love Fluxx and Ninja Burger, but a history-based game might not be their cup of tea.

Hi, ASH. How're you?
 

Just the first Matrix movie. Wasn't thrilled with the second one and didn't even bother to see the third one.

As for a history based game, well... I just rather like time travel stuff. Most of my history knowledge is focused in times thousands of years before the events in the game. You don't need to know history well to play it. A fair number of events on the first game's card I was fuzzy on. Most of the Early American edition I had no clue about (yeah, I'm particularly ignorant about our own history).

A good deal of enjoyment from the game comes from changing a point in history and seeing how the future changes from that one change. Plus, it is also fun to just mess with one of the other players once you know they are trying to accomplish something. In one of the games we played, Hitler kept getting killed and saved each turn. Was rather funny.
