honeyed chicken Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Or me about board games (Catan, Carcassonne, Puerto Rico, Euphrat & Tigris, ...). Hey! I didn't know you are a board gamer?!! Me too! Me too! My Settlers and Puerto Rico boxes are sitting on the shelf behind me as I type, and I wish I had Tigris & Euphrates as well - love that game! Carcassone too. Germans have authored many brilliant games (Reiner Knizia!!). Another favorite is Tayu - have played that one endlessly with my brother. Do you know if anyone has designed a good ASOIAF inspired game yet?* I'm aware there's a Westeros variant of Diplomacy available here, and I haven't delved in because the rules are so different and I don't have time to learn anything that complex now. But someday I hope to dive in. I just looked up and on my browser there's a game being advertised called, "A Game of Thrones LCG: A Roll of the Dice". I suppose I could go to BoardGame Geek and see if anybody liked it. Edited December 18, 2014 by honeyed chicken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tyrion I Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 <blinks> A Roll of the Dice? Sounds interesting. I like board games as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyed chicken Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Dice? - duh! :blushing:Should have thought of you right away! <bows to his grace, King Tyrion II> Edited December 18, 2014 by honeyed chicken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Weirgaryen Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Have to admit I don't know 7 Wonders, Agricola, Magister Navis or Tayu yet. A bit to catch up. I am working at trying out all known Settlers variations with my kids and friends, progressing slowly. The explorer variants that have the ships load stuff and actually sail across the board are still my favorites and they have become an official supplement. We lately played Die Karawane (camels...) and barbarian assault as befits the time of the season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tyrion I Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Dice? - duh! :blushing: Should have thought of you right away! <bows to his grace, King Tyrion II> It's still KT I. Of course, dice are interesting. Am I mistaken in assuming that dice play a vital role in that LCG? Have to admit I don't know 7 Wonders, Agricola, Magister Navis or Tayu yet. A bit to catch up.

Come to think of it, "War on Terror" is also quite nice. And hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhalia Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Thanks, Adara! :) No prob at all.Feel free to PM me about RPGs. =o) Or me about board games (Catan, Carcassonne, Puerto Rico, Euphrat & Tigris, ...).

ambi76 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) 1. Loras Tyrell (Totally not obvious at all) Why, hello, Ser Gustav, my fellow Loras fanatic. A rare breed indeed.

Jon Weirgaryen Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) So many Germans... anyone near Frankfurt am Main? eta: found it: @King Tyrion I: cannot find a trace of Magister Navis, have you got a link to that one? Involving ships there's Wooden Ships & Iron Men... Edited December 18, 2014 by Jon Weirgaryen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what LCG stands for, but the subtitle was "A Roll of the Dice" SO I assume, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddard Stark is online Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Welcome Jon Weirgaryen, Zhalia, and all the other new people. :) I'm happy to learn there are so many boardgamers here! I keep meaning to get more into boardgames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adara Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Jon is here for quite a while now ;) My best friend and me have a history of a backgammon addiction. Not the kind of board game everyone's talking about, but anyway ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Fingerbones Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Hey there. Suppose I'll ramble about myself. The name's Jack (or Kettle or Fingerbones.) I'm 17 and only (relatively) recently discovered ASOIAF through the show in April of this year, became completely obsessed with it, and read through the books in about two months over the summer. I am now suffering from severe post-ASOIAF depression and spend my days reading theories on the internet, re-reading chapters (Feast and Dance mixed ATM), and waiting for news of tWoW.Like most of you I have now grown to resent the show, though it introduced me to this wonderful world. The change that probably annoyed me most was Tyrion's final scene (He loved TYSHA! Not bloody Shae!) and the change will probably end up annoying me most may be the exclusion of the Kingsmoot plot. I love the three Greyjoy brothers. I was a bit confused at first, but after a re-read of their chapters, I grew to love each of them. (Though Euron is one evil dude.) Asha's plot rather irritated me in Season 4 (anti-climatic and hardly realistic), but hopefully they work out something in season 5 that keeps that interesting arc in some shape or form. My favourite characters are probably Davos (thus my username), Theon, Victarion, Jaime, Littlefinger, Wyman, Tyrion, Jon, Barristan, Stannis .. I love them all really. Though I am a bit of a Dany-hater. Particularly during Dance I grew annoyed at the tedium of her story, and her skewed righteousness. An ending that has her coming up on top would annoy me to no end. I've lurked around this forum for a while now, but only joined a few days ago in the hope of riding the hype-train started by the recent 12 days of Westeros campaign and the theories of the release of tWoW, only to have it de-railed. Saddened that tWoW is still a far-off hope, but hardened to what being an aSoIaF fan is all about-being disappointed about the books not being released when you want them to be. I'm hoping for a summer of 2015 but that seems more unlikely each time I think about it (which is a lot.) The realistic side of me says 2016 or beyond, but who knows. I'd love a progress update and GRRM had the perfect opportunity to do so in his recently hype train de-railing, but I suppose we'll just have to wait until it's done. Well, that did turn in to a ramble.. Anyway, I hope we all have many fun times speculating, reminiscing, and hyping together until this bloody series is finished and I can continue on with my life. (Will I even be able to then?) Edited January 2, 2015 by Fingerbones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
