Board Games

I would do that. Would rather a live game rather than a turn based thing that takes multiple days. At least for the first experience. The GWT on Tabletop Simulator is nice, but (at least on a computer) nothing beats having everything automated for you.

Will probably have some availability this weekend (or any other weekend really).

Yeah it’s turn based but can go fast as we want if everyone is around. We can def find some time to have everyone around for a “live” game

I also have a premium account on bga. Am happy to play either turn based or find a time to play live.
My nickname on BGA is “Robin” Feel free to add me and we can get some game(s) started.

Thinking about contributing to the Kickstarter for Trekking the World. Looks fun and it’s so pretty. Quite expensive for me though ($54 US including shipping = over $75 CDN :anguished:).

Would anyone be interesting in quasi-teaching me Terra Mystica on BGA on Friday night?

I’ve played once like 5 years ago and would give the rules a look over before then.

Never played but would be interested to learn

Are there any games that we’re already familiar with? Like Trivial Pursuit or Candyland or whatnot.

Doesn’t look like it.

There are places where you can play Risk or clones of it online.

Dunno if they saw this so @Nicholasp27 @Boardgamer

Would still be up for this tomorrow night. Saturday night would likely work as well.

Same

sure, that works for me. I saw someone added me on bga, not sure who though :) send me a msg there and we can set it up. What time do you guys prefer?

I could probably do most times starting anywhere in between 8 and 11 Eastern.

Username there is the same as username here.

I’ve connected with boardgamer on BGA; the rest of you should create accounts as well and we need to settle on a time.

Tomorrow night is better for me but I can prolly make a later (like 10 or 11 eastern start time) game today.

They do limit simulataneous free players during the increase in traffic right now but I think it’s fine in the evenings; was more of an issue during day hours so i upgraded to premium to ensure I can always get in.

I prefer not too late. Can do almost every day but prefer to be finished by 10:30 eastern time.
Added eyebooger on bga as well.

I can start earlier tomorrow or Sunday evening, but if you get enough for tonight go ahead and I’ll join if I can.

@CanadaMatt3004 @Boardgamer

Let’s do 8 PM Eastern start if that works for both of you. Looks like there’s not much overlap between our times and Nichp’s, but this doesn’t have to be the only time we get a game going (especially once we all learn how to play).

@CanadaMatt3004 if you can add me on bga as well we’ll have a solid 4 to start terra mystica with (imo TM is played best with 4players). It seems that Nicholasp27 already knows how to play the game. I’m happy to explain it from scratch, although it will probably be faster if you guys watch an overview video like ( this ) to get at least some of the basics out of the way.

Also probably good if we create a groupchat somewhere to make communicating easier. (I have skype/telegram/whatsapp/wechat but can get something else too)

Is the video/audio thing on BGA any good? I’ve never used it.

have to say I’ve also never tried/used it.

Added you guys on BGA
