TheRobin Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Hey everyone, so I just thought I add this to the list of things people can do together while chatting over skype or so :)I had a lot of fun playing Hearthstone and chatting and before that same with playing Civ 5 with some people here. And recently someone showed me a nice little site called boardgamearena.com where you can play boardgames (for free). With that I mean mostly modern stuff, not the old ones (so no chess players there from what I can tell). All of the games usually have some short rules tutorial (or ofc, the best way to learn them is to play with someone you know who can explain the rules real quick), not that the games a re very difficult to learn (no 20 pages rulebook study required). So, since I'm a big boardgame fan myself (and I know of at least another person here who also enjoys them) I thought, I toss the idea out there and see how people respond. In my opinion some casual boardgames along with some chatting with nice people can make for a very enjoyable evening. It's also perfect, if people don't have that much time (say, maybe 40 minutes or so and want to do something fun with people). Anyway, let me know what you think if you're interested in giving it a try. I'm sure I'd greatly enjoy it.
Sal9000 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 A wonderful idea Robin. I would be interested too. I play chess too (on an amateurish level though).
TheRobin Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 Cool I'm a bit planned out the next few days, but how abut beginning of next week somewhen in th evening (like 19:00+ (GMT+1, I think))?
Sal9000 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Sounds good What game do you propose? I have to prepare myself
TheRobin Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 erm I don't know One I really like (and which is quite simple and relaxed) is Tokaido. Or if you're more into "recource management"- kind of games, I'd probably go with Stone Age. Of course, feel free to propose any game you like there, I'm happy to learn some new ones if they're fun to play
Wesley Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 I created an account last night (as I think I might be the other board gamer your described ) I actually haven't played most of the games on there surprisingly, though I have heard of several of them. I am interested to try it out sometime.
TheRobin Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 Allright, so how does Tuesday at around 19:00 (UTC+1) sound?
