I'm not sure I am up for another Indonesia wacking.

Is there another game we would all want to play?

I can do more Indonesia, but I'm not touching FCM again. ;)


If you get the chance to okay it it face-to-face I'd give it another go. It's actually loads of fun with a high banter capacity. I don't rate it as an online game either.

I think it really suffers if you learn the game online. You really need to walk through satisfying demand and marketing campaigns a couple times with the physical game to absorb how those things work. When the computer does it all for you, you miss out on a lot.

(the wins column and l'amour's row don't add up to 6 because he won Pax, which I didn't try to figure out the other placings)

Am I forgetting any games we've played?



Woodall

I can't blame FCM completely, though I do think the online implementation is not so hot. I never read the rules or downloaded the player aid. Probably should have just not played, too much stuff going on lately at work. That said, I'm trying to stay in the black and move the game along. :)

l'amour

Wow. The Burger Baron just fucked us all.

Nice to know there are records of my suckitude.

After this game of Indonesia, do you guys have any interest in playing a game of Arkwright? I don't know of any online implementations, but I think there's a VASSAL module.

egg_salad

Sure, I'd play Arkwright.  How about Rolling Stock at some point, as well?

Is Rolling Stock on vassal or another website?

Eh, I'd give it a shot. Heard of it before. Not sure if I'm interested in Arkwright or not. I'd have to look at a video.

rstites25

Well...FCM ended quicker than I expected. Without much basis, I had figured it would go another round.

Any desire for a second game of something not FCM to run parallel with Indonesia?
