... Well, fear not. I won. Khushrenada wouldn't let these forums down. NWR represent!
Woot woot!
Sadly, I let my teams down on Saturday.
Playing
The Resistance: Avalon with a table of 10 people, my team of evil characters extended the game to the final vote of the final mission, but were unable to sow enough distrust to win the game. (For people who aren't familiar with the game, it's like a quicker version of Werewolf without player elimination.)
I had one last choice thanks to holding the Assassin role - but instead of killing Merlin I picked a teammate by mistake! He had accidentally failed to reveal himself during the introduction, which lead to a lot of uncertainty for our team throughout the entire game. The actual Merlin player would have been my second choice.
It was a good game though, with a lot of discussion and debate (and doubt) at every turn. Had we traitors known our full team, we might've pulled out a win. Playing
The Resistance (or the
Avalon version) is always a fun time.
The two people left, so we tried
Captain Sonar. Manning the sonar, I let me team down by frequently being off by one space - something I just can't account for. It was still close and tense, but we were consistently *not quite* on target while our opponents rarely missed.
I blame cold medication and lack of sleep, although that's really just a bad excuse. The trust is that my attention span was just waning at that point - in part because Captain Sonar gameplay isn't my cup of tea.
...Diplomacy...
If anyone in these forums are interested in learning or playing
Diplomacy, speak up!
There are some great websites that will automatically resolve orders for you, so a moderator isn't required, but it's very kind to offer to be neutral and help people prepare their orders. The rules for Diplomacy aren't hard, but getting your orders just right can be kind of tricky when you start playing.
(By the way, I've only played a couple of times so don't have much expertise. I'm just very high on the game because I think it's a fantastic experience. Consider me happy to join a learning/teaching game in any capacity, or a more normal game as "likely fodder".)
... I'll have to look into Star Wars Risk then. ...
Should be easy to find and pretty cheap too - but if you have any issues getting a copy then just let me know.
I bought an extra copy (remembering how expensive other good Star Wars board games became after going out of print) so could send you a "gently used" set.
