Hey, there really are some perks to being the addressee/host of a boardgames club! Eagle Games have picked up on us and sent us (me) a free copy of a game...
Sounds good. We need to play it. Sounds interesting because I understood that Eagle had gone bust. By the way, this is the 100th post on this site. I hereby...
SESSION REPORT SUNDAY 8 OCT 2006 There were 9 of us, after a late withdrawal and a no-show. 9 is perfect. We broke the ice for half an hour with one game of...
Hi! My name is George, a new member and I am board-game-o-holic. Its been 5 days 7 hours 35 mins since my last board game. At times its hard to go through a...
Bob did not play this game yesterday so could not really describe it in his report, so here goes: In a nutshell Neil kicked my ass and almost won the game,...
Great. Anyone else who's interested should check out the attached detail/photos on this site before deciding whether they'll go in for such a long game,...
Wow, George, you have a serious addiction there. You've made the first step by coming out of denial and admitting it. YOU NEED HELP. SERIOUS HELP. ...And...
Hi all, have been musing over alternative roles and even variants (although i prefer the traditional version as it 'feels better'). I've added a file for a...
I have to say i thoroughly enjoyed this game and its a good example of a reasonably simple game that needs actual play to appreciate certains nuances. The game...
Well done, Neil. The Werewolf bug has bitten you!? I expect to see hairs sprouting when you next visit me! I'd be delighted to play your inventive LoR...
Do you think this game would be a bit better if fighting was not so expensive to do? May be I'm slightly biased because I lean towards the war games, but it...
You have a point that combat is expensive but i think it might detract from the overall game if military conquest became too easy. I like there to be a good...
This was my first visit to Essen, so I thought it would be a good idea to write up a report about it: I had booked up quite early in the year (about May I...
One of the great things about Essen is the number of free gifts you can pick up (key rings, mouse mats, posters etc). One of the free gifts was an expansion...
Nice summary Dave. All those games to see !!! I've played Ra a couple of times and i think its quite nice; it has a nice auction mechanic to bid for tiles. I...
Many thanks, Dave. I always wondered what Essen would actually be like. From the games you mentioned, IMPERIAL caught my eye, as did GLORIA MUNDI where the...
Hi Everyone, One aspect of games I always enjoy is finding new and original mechanics. Which is why Antike has become a favourite of mine and I am very much...
Hi Dave, Thanks for such a great report, and you have definitely made me envious. Next year I'm definitely going so if you do plan to go again give me a shout....
Hi George, I did enjoy Essen & (funds permitting) I might well go back next year. Regarding the historical data sheet for Imperial, the game does come with a ...
So many good games to play. I've taken a look at Indonesia and it definitely goes on my list of new games to play along with Imperial, Space Dealer, AoS, TI3...
This is mainly to the 5 of us who played the very-new game IMPERIAL yesterday, but feel free to join in, either commenting or asking questions. Yesterday's...
What a good game this was. I really enjoyed the emphasis on having an interest in a nation's status irrespective of their military position. I like the...
Neil has made some good points about "Imperial". There are a lot of different stategies to be used in this game. An example was Allan controlling his Germany...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the lbgc group: When games are put up as options on the table, some members are always attracted to...

Well, I still have this fear that any SECOND game of Imperial will swing the opposite way from our exciting first game, and involve very little war, just...
Good question, but a bit tricky. I enjoy and would continue to enjoy repeat plays of some games. Recent history includes Fury of Dracula and Railroad Tycoon...
Bob, I can understand your eagerness to 'get under the bonnet & fiddle about with the innards' but I think that ANY game (not just Imperial) deserves about...
Hmmm, i think this game is good enough to merit continued play under standard rules several times at least and arguably indefinitely without tinkering. With...
