Time to test a new game.

[Dave]

Games, actually. We don't have links for them yet but we will.

Sudoku - You know this game.

Wordfinder - Word search puzzle and you have to make them. I've only made 1 so far but I assume everyone will make a few.

London Chase - This game I have no idea how to play but you set it up for a number of players and then it sits and waits for others to join. Let me know how you like this one.

Someone join London Chase, bastards!

kay

 

[Singularity.EXE]

Hells bells, I meant to take the bus.

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

I didn't really read the rules. What are we supposed to be doing?

 

[Singularity.EXE]

What's the point of this game. I think its to catch one another, right?

I think we have to catch Mister Y. Like trap him or something. I wish this game had a bigger map.

 

[MindDetective]

I played the board game version of this game. Basically one person (perhaps more if there are a lot of people playing?) is a villain on the run in London and everyone else is a detective hot on his or her tail. The villain moves in secrecy through the subway, taxi, or bus systems but is spotted regularly in places (every five turns or so?) Anyway, the goal of the detectives is to trap the villain by keep track of how many subway, bus, and taxi tokens he or she has spent so that they can determine the possible and likely routes he or she takes while hidden until they catch the villain (or the villain gets away). It is a fun collaborative/competitive hybrid that is very tactical. I'll play a game some time for sure, if it is translated very well to online play.

Oh god, then I am screwed right now, I'm at work so I can't really think tactically.

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

I am also screwed. I am doing this while simultaneously doing physics homework. So I'm much more concentrating on the physics.

 

[Dave]

You are chasing Person Y and trying to get him. NO YOU CAN NOT PLAY PERSON Y!! Person Y is a computer player EVERY time.

 

[Singularity.EXE]

Let's call it a tie then, and go about our work. Maybe we can get a genuine game rolling later.

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

sure, sounds fine. Now that we know what we're supposed to do, might be fun.

 

[Rovewin]

Is there a way to talk to the other person you're playing with?

I think we have to catch Mister Y. Like trap him or something. I wish this game had a bigger map.

If you press the blue i button at the top of the map a bigger map pops up.

 

[Dave]

Mister Y used a black ticket. What the fuck is a black ticket?

 

[Rovewin]

A black ticket lets him use whatever ticket he wants without us knowing. So we dont know if he took the bus metro or taxi.

I think its like playing the race card?

 

[SpecialKO]

Sudoku is surprisingly difficult for me when I can't write in possibilities.

Yup.

 

[Espy]

It keeps telling me it's waiting for someone else to take a turn. It never lets ME take a turn.

 

[Dave]

Hit refresh.

 

[Dave]

2 more.

Xtreme Dice - Yahtzee, basically. But there's normal and XTREME! Xtreme uses 6 dice and has a few more things to fill out.

Four Pins - Known in the US as Frustration. You can play against the computer or set up a game for others to join.

That london game makes my head hurt.

I had the computer game version, called like the board game, Scotland Yard. I loved the fact that the villins and heroes were all form several works of fiction... but the game was impossible!!

 

[Dave]

Yeah, the London one makes my head ache, too. I went through a few turns last night and then had to bug out due to the Cowboys game.
