IL PRINCIPE Rule error
11 Feb 2006 08:13:27 -0800
The inventor has confirmed to me that there is an error in the printed
rules.
The rules clearly state that for the final turn of the game Phase 1 is
omitted.
Phase 1 involves dealing 4 cards to each player and also giving each
player 5 money chips. So by omitting all of this players normally
find they ha ...

Anyone remember this old board game?
6 Feb 2006 11:51:19 -0800
I remember playing this as a kid, but cannot remember its name. It had
a Dracula theme and at some point in the game if you did something
wrong you would have to place your finger in his mouth and he would
"bite" you. It reality this was just two red felt tip marks on your
finger! Anyone remember its name?

When I first got into modern boardgaming games see ...

Sat, 4 Feb 2006 07:51:24 +0000
I am currently one-third of the way through my game-buying moratorium
(to be reviewed after Easter) and am striving to use this period to
bring some of the many unplayed games in my collection to the table.
I am considering the three "Arthurian" titles of Wotan Games: Merlin,
King Arthur and Excalibur. All ...

Ad 4000
Wed, 1 Feb 2006 21:05:53 -0000
Ad 4000 is a great game (for those of you who havn't heard of it you go
around the board conquering star systems)
It's great because you get this hyperspace rule so that your opponounts only
know that you are 3 moves away from that star so they have to use their
stratagy to get their troops at the same time (if ...
