They will not play it and will actually not show up to a game night that includes the game. It's not for players who like to take things slow and think things out, players who freeze up when faced with real-time mechanics. <br /><br />This is the same reason I didn't include Space Alert even though I had it on my best games I played in 2012 list.Moe Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384519513376016560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738355864455923388.post-68380529196064772292013-02-28T07:19:35.745-05:002013-02-28T07:19:35.745-05:00Send me a review copy and we'll see ;)

Something I haven't seen before. I'll keep my eyes open for it this year.Moe Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384519513376016560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738355864455923388.post-48431666396430315972013-02-28T07:17:21.109-05:002013-02-28T07:17:21.109-05:00Car Wars is a really good call. The thing is that ...Car Wars is a really good call. The thing is that I own it but I never actually played it. So I would have put it on the list as hearsay.<br /><br />Star Trek III Combat Sim - another pretty good call, I figured already having SFB on the list meant I didn't need something as similar.<br /><br />Pandemic - this was on the original list. The thing is that I don't see it as Sci-Fi, to me it's a modern what if game. There's nothing high tech about it at all.<br /><br />Regengade Legion as well as the follow up Silent death - this like Car wars I never actually played myself.<br /><br />Battleship Galaxies - I almost put this one on instead of Starfarers of Catan. Great game. Needed the planned expansions though and was sadly killed by Hasbro before they were released.<br /><br />I'm not a big fan of the Munchkin games. If I did a top 10 fantasy games list it the original would probably be on there though, just for how many people I know that love it and for how many people it was a gateway game.<br /><br />OMG I just realized I forgot Battletech - that replaces Starfarers Easliy. I may need to do an edit.Moe Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384519513376016560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738355864455923388.post-36644600399472069222013-02-27T23:44:55.373-05:002013-02-27T23:44:55.373-05:00No Galaxy Trucker?No Galaxy Trucker?Heffe Grahamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738355864455923388.post-56093688877117256662013-02-27T22:51:00.653-05:002013-02-27T22:51:00.653-05:00Nice list... and I must say you got quite a few of...Nice list... and I must say you got quite a few of my own choices too! <br /><br />But of course - I HAVE TO ASK - How big of a chance is there, that my game "Burning Suns" ... http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/130134/burning-suns ... will be on your list in a year? :D<br /><br />Have a good one... <br />Best regards EmilEmilarsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812338737930322022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738355864455923388.post-1610719617562057092013-02-27T21:33:13.033-05:002013-02-27T21:33:13.033-05:00I like your list. although I haven't played al...I like your list. although I haven't played all the game on it.<br />I agree Battlestar Galactica has a real cool mid game balancing dynamic.<br />Race for the Galaxy: didn't really grab me.<br />Twilight Imperium: - OMG there should be a warning label on the box about how insanely LONG this game takes to play.<br /><br />Here's a few that I would add for my list:<br />Car Wars:<br />- both the dice game and the card game<br /><br />Star Trek Tactical Combat Simulator:<br />-sure its a scaled down version of star fleet battles, but I remember having some great "epic" battles<br /><br />Pandemic:<br /> -only played a few times but it had my pulse racing as we see the population of earth collapse around us.<br /><br />Renegade Legion: Centurion; Blood & Steel<br />-another one I only played a few times (and many many moons ago) but a fun future tank battle game<br /><br />Battleship Galaxies:<br /> -quick, fun, and a box full of cool spaceship mini's<br /><br />and is it sad that I really want to get Star Trek Catan even though I already have Catan. (how different can it really be)<br /><br />also have to add Star Munchkin; a game with too many puny groans to not mention.<br /><br />Cat Stayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162994378075564537noreply@blogger.com
