@icecolbeveridge Compare the technique of "tewari", from the game of Go, which asks, "Would these moves have been effective if played in a different order?"

(This makes more sense for Go, a game of placement, than for Chess, a game of movement.)

Played 3 new games this month:

1. Back to the future: Back in time -- I love the theme and design, but not sure about the replayability. Might be fine with different players. 7.5/10.

2. ito (it0?) -- simple rules but challenging to get it right! Fun to learn how others think about stuff. Everyone's scale is so different! 8/10.

3. Beacon Patrol -- not bad but nothing too exciting. Having a solo mode is nice though. 6/10.

Beim ersten Spiel hatten wir die Bilder vergessen - geht natürlich gar nicht! Also eine 2. hinterher geschoben. 😎
War die erste noch sehr knapp, fiel die zweite Partei dann doch deutlich aus. Frau hat eine neue Strategie, die offensichtlich erfolgreich ist, da muss ich an meiner arbeiten, um mitzuhalten. schön, denn so bleit es interessant - ein tolles Spiel! 😍

"Big Floor" version of Diplomacy. Definitely would like one for myself. What other #boardgames (historical or otherwise) handling 4+ players could benefit from visually impressive “big floor” versions? (Big floor space not included.) What a fantastic convention game presentation.

As seen (and played) at Circle DC convention this weekend. Alas, I was not there; photo from the GU Wargaming Society.
