Re: Board Gamesã By: Arelor to Mantrid on Fri Dec 04 2020 04:46 amããyeah that's the problem, I only live with my wife so it's either 2 player gamesãor games which can be played over some sort of video chat.ããSo for us that's been forgotten waters, automobiles, animal upon animal, galaxyãtrucker, and evolution. the latter two kind of count as even though I own theãactual games we've been playing them multiplayer over the phone version toãinclude our friends, although 2 friends annoyingly don't have a phone so weãgenerally go back to forgotten waters to include everyone.ããIt's only in the past year that I've really had to discover the 2-player modesãof the games i have, and some of the 2-player variant rules are really justãdownright hacky at best, just to get that 2-p icon on the boxã----------------------ãUnited Kingdom BBS: ukbbs.zapto.org:64 (40cols) ukbbs.zapto.org:128 (80cols)ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ United Kingdom BBS - ukbbs.zapto.orgã

The two player variant has each player try to bribe twoãgreekl gods at once so there is a lot of double guessing involved. Are youãfamiliar with that game?ã--ãgopher://gopher.richardfalken.com/1/richardfalkenãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Palantir BBS * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FLã
