Boardgaming
I'll be running the strategy boardgames table again this year.
At various points throughout the weekend, I'll be seeking out people to play boardgames at my table. I'll be supplying all of the games from my own collection (there will be no need for others to bring their own boardgames), and I will serve as 'referee' for each game. This is what I'll be spending most of my time doing at the LAN, so whenever you get tired of staring at your screen, there will likely be a boardgame to join starting soon.
There will also be an official boardgame tourney this year. I'm still working out the details, and I will post another thread about the tourney, including the games and the play schedule, once it's finalized.
Here is the list of games that I have already decided to bring:
Settlers of Catan
Puerto Rico
Power Grid
Vegas Showdown
Pente
I plan to bring several more games as well, and I'm taking suggestions as to which ones. If you'd like: look though my collection (click the little robber-pawn in my sig to go to my BGG list) and let me know if any of your favorite games are in that list. It can also be used to find out more about the games that are already in the list above.
Keep in mind a few things about the list: First, this list is
all of the games I own, and some of them are not really suitable for the table at the LAN (for example: Risk (it takes far to long to play), Return of the Heroes (it's too complicated to learn in one game), and will not be added to the list of games this year). Second: any card games that you see in the list will already be with me, as they all fit into one toolbox, and I'll be bringing that toolbox with me. Third: I don't actually use BGG to keep track of how much I've played a game, so all of them say '0' for number of plays.
If any one has any questions, or would like to suggest games from my collection to be added to this year's stack, here is the place for it.
