What's on your table right now?

If you can play a Eurogame, you can play ASL.

Say all you want about ASL, but at least it has combat. Eventually. Sometimes.

But if you trade enough wheat to the Commerciale on an even-numbered turn, you'd force the player to your left to add two Ore for every Wheat you so trade, unless they have a controlling voting interest in the Valores Exchange, in which case they may call a quorum among stock holders to determine if a De Acuerdo can be obtained, in which case the Wheat trader must place two resources of any kind into the Kessel (the green one, not the brown one, which is only used in Trade Power Rounds). But if you can get away with it, you can trade that player's Ore for Road tokens, the ratio of which depends on the Wechselkurs for that current Game Phase, as well as whether or not enough Road Labor worker tokens are available from the Bezrobocie pool (the blue one, not the yellow one, which represents the unemployable that everyone in the game must support from turn to turn, else they face penalties to their Economic Rating, thanks to poor coverage by the local town criers).

And this is why it ended up with "Orgy" in the title.

Orgy also implies an element of fun.

War of the Ring


Setup and started playing War of the Ring by Ares Games.  I really love the gameplay and so far this seems like a suitable game for solitaire play.

I'll get the Aveeno and the pry bar.

This one is on my list.  I prefer the realism of its conflict simulation.

Combat is really dependent on the season and whether the fields have been harvested.  There's a couple of tables, but don't forget to adjust for year.

[mirth]

I prefer the realism of its conflict simulation.

The realism? Between the Orcs, Dwarves, Elves and Hobbits?

[BanzaiCat]

It's the quality of rules these days. Whippersnappers don't know nothin' 'bout no manual writin' these days. Why, back in my day, we could pack the words onto a page and tell a story while doin' it!

To be fair, cuneiform packs a lot of meaning into each character.
