Associated Gamers | Gaming content worth sharing. Game Bistro. Armed and Dangerous » Blog Archive » The Golden Age of Wargaming is Now. I’m what people in the strategy-gaming hobby call a grognard. The word is literally French for “grumbler”, historically used for Napoleonist diehards who never reconciled themselves to the fall of L’Empereur even after 1815, and nowadays refers to guys who cut their teeth on the classic, old-school hex-grid wargames of the 1970s.
As a grognard, I’m expected to grumble dyspeptically about the superiority of the huge, heavy, elaborately simulationist two-player wargames we used to play back in the day, and bemoan how fluffy and social the modern wave of multiplayer Eurogames are. Sure, they’ve got four-color printing and unit counters you don’t have to use tweezers to pick up, but where are my pages and pages of combat resolution tables? Where are my hairsplitting distinctions between different types of self-propelled assault gun? O tempora! O mores! But you know what? First: Realism. Second: Playability. Third: Depth. Fifth: Presentation. There’s some truth to the charge. Thankfully, no. Board Game Studies. Some critical remarks on an Internet Site about Roman Board Games More and more people looking for information on certain subjects rely on the internet.
They hope to find something without having to go to the library, search for books and read them – just with a few clicks. Of course as with books the quality of the information you get on the internet depends on the background of the author of the website. A nicely illustrated site about board games ( or created by W. J. Kowalski promises some valuable information, but unfortunately it is – pardon, if I appear unpolite and harsh – completely misleading, because the author relies on second and third hand information and is ignorant of the basic studies to the subject and of the actual state of research.
Tali & Tropa Tali = "astragals" = "knucklebones" were not as popular in Rome as they were in Greece. Calculi Tesserae. On Educational Games and Gaming - ptlehmann. By Tom Lehmann (2/22/05, revised 4/29/10) Board games are often marketed as being "educational. " Most games with this label are pretty bad -- they have some stupid trivia questions about their subject, to "earn" their educational status, instead of providing interesting strategies and meaningful player choices. Board games can be very educational, but not in this way.
The first lesson one learns when playing a good, multi-player strategy board game, is how to lose. Learning to lose gracefully is tough. Second, good strategy games teach one how to make plans and adjust them as events unfold. Third, many strategy games have a chance element, such as dice, which can help teach some basic probability concepts. But all this is missing the point, the real thing that these games teach is the difference between good decisions and good outcomes.
Sometimes, you make the correct decision in a game, but the cards or dice just don't come through; you have a bad outcome and lose. GMT Games. C3i Current Ops. The BOARDGAMER.

The Game Preserve Stores: Hand-picked board games, cards, chess. Android: Netrunner LCG Core Set (Preorder) Monolithic megacorps and individualistic netrunners collide in a dystopian future. Set in the gritty, cyberpunk future of Android, Android: Netrunner is a two-player Living Card Game™ that rewards skill, strategy, and just the right amount of calculated risk. In a world where corporations can scan the human mind and interface it directly with electronic data, more data moves every second than was ever processed in the first five-thousand years of written language.
The network is omnipresent, the crux of modern human civilization, and while visionary corporations seek to secure their most valuable data on the network, the elite hackers known as netrunners seek to steal it. This asymmetrical card game resurrects the mechanics of the original Netrunner, designed by Richard Garfield, and updates them to increase clarity and promote a more dynamic play environment. The Android: Netrunner Core Set features 252 cards, including seven unique identity cards.

My Laser Blog | Laser cutting for boardgames. Empire Board Games Company Blog. Dear Customers and Board Gaming Community, We would first like to thank all of you for your great support of us while starting this website. Believe it or not, we couldn’t have done this without your kind words, participation in the forums, and of course, your purchases.
While we love offering all of you great games at great prices, we have yet to find a method to make it worth our time and effort. At first, we thought that we could eventually make it through the rough times and become profitable. But after months of hard work and devotion, things weren’t looking up, and up to this point we haven’t been very profitable. We tried raising prices, having a very low priced game of the day, free shipping, and a few other tactics. While some were definitely better than others, none of them were worth our time. Don’t get us wrong, we made some money, and again, we appreciate your support. Speaking of customer service: We feel that we have resolved nearly all customer service inquiries. ShareThis.

DungeonMorph Dice (Dungeon Geomorphs) by Joe Wetzel. Thanks for everyone's support! If you've missed the pledging deadline, go to to get on the email list which will announce when the dice (and cards, font, pdf, etc.) will be generally available and can be ordered online. Note that the dice & card production timeframe is late summer, but it is possible the electronic items will be ready earlier. Kickstarter pledgees will get their rewards before the products are generally available. DungeonMorph Dice will remind many long-time gamers of the classic dungeon geomorph booklets of dungeon maps. The spirit of these have been carried on by a number of illustrators/cartographers who create new, inter-connectible 10x10 geomorph fragments for anyone to use. (Note: now that the original goal and two stretch goals have been met, the project description has been updated to mention the two extra sets.) Specifications: Three different sets of 5 dice each, with a different design on each side of each die. (90 geomorph designs.)
Don’t Call It A Comeback: GameCamp 2010. By Kieron Gillen on May 10th, 2010 at 7:47 pm. This is the second Gamecamp. Organised by awesome people, hosted by PayPal/Gumtree/eBay with food from Pizza Express and booze from Unity, it works on the unconference model. In short: a conference without a plan. People turn up. Anyone who wants to try and run a session, can do so. Just lob up its name on the board. People turn up. By the end of the day, the board looked like this: I am sad to report no-one managed to win tic-tac-toe. The day was a success, generally speaking. The style counts for a lot though.
I started with the PC Is Dead Long Live The PC session, because if I didn’t, I suspect I’d be drummed out of this website. Second, I was lured to the Cannon Fodder and somethingunreadableonthisphoto session, despite the offer of tasty prizes in the Power Game one. (Which strikes me as a counter to the “Good is good, new is new” line which I heard mentioned elsewhere. Then we had lunch. And rest. So not all highbrow game nonsense then. The Finer Points of Teaching Rules. The board gaming hobby brings child-like fun to adults. This grade of fun exists at the core of board gaming and cannot be found in most other adult hobbies. Having tapped this "premium" fun is what keeps board gamers longing for gaming opportunities and eager to experience new games.
Yet despite the fun present at most tables where games are being played, some board gamers lack one skill essential to assuring that every game experience is as fun and enjoyable as it could be. That skill is teaching the rules. Because there will always be new games to play, there will always be new rules to teach. We've all played new games. Let me tell you about an experience I had. At a game meeting about a year and a half ago, I was taught Tigris & Euphrates by a gentleman I'll call Frank. When Frank had suggested Tigris & Euphrates that day, I was glad to be able to learn it since I had a shrink-wrapped copy in my closet.
