What's on your table right now?

the fact the GM never rolls dice.   :nerd:

What?! That's a dumber game mechanic than collecting wheat!!!

I don't like those kinds of games, with few exceptions.

Lords of Waterdeep is one (I don't own the game, just the app on my iPad), and Agricola (gods help me), also on my iPad.

I've tried Puerto Rico et al and can't stand any of them.

Even Catan sucks unless you have a good group of people to play it with. Usually it ends up with people like this guy though.

I take criticism from a man who hides his Star Wars action figures in a shoe box in the closet so the wife doesn't see with a grain of rained upon salt.  :P

Yeah certainly a different approach, but the setting and the game mechanics otherwise seem pretty solid.

Basically, any board game with some snotty medieval-era trade league title including a location or group of merchants.

"Hanseatic Wheat Orgy"

I WISH I had Star Wars figures hidden in a shoe box somewhere...that would be some serious cash!

"Hanseatic Wheat Orgy"

I think that's a game some could get behind.

Does it come with a detailed manual with copious numbers of color photos?

It does, but they can't sell it at Origins. You have to wait for it to be mailed to you, in a plain brown wrapper.


It's basically http://oglaf.com

Woot!  I'll go buy a celebratory bottle of Boones Farm!

How many gold uniform buttons does a Wheat Orgy sport on its miniatures?

[panzerde]

Preferably none, but it if has any they're hexagonal with a chicken embossed on them.

Suddenly, I'm very interested in the game.

[panzerde]

I just like the idea that if anyone Googles for "hanseatic" and "wheat" it'll turn up this thread. That's a good day's work.

[bob48]

Hexagonal chickens? At least there will be a leg for everyone.

I call fowl for introducing puns to this otherwise respectable thread.
