== Kisa Griffin == http://www.ludism.org/scpix/20010706/13_abalone_kisa_prize.jpg My first Seattle Cosmic Group game night was the Cheesy Cosmic Night on Saturday, 14 Oct 2000. The group has come a long way since then and I am glad to be a part of it. I wanted to wait to create a page on it's Wiki until I had some time to type up a bit about the games I play. I'll add more later, this was what sprung to mind. == All time favorite games == '''["Lord of the Rings"]''': This game is great on it's own and only gets better when the expansions are added. I very much enjoy games that are mostly co-operative and this one is the best I have played. ["Buffy the Vampire Slayer"] and ["Scotland Yard"] are good too but I would choose this one first. I have recently heard of an older co-operative game ["Fury of Dracula"] that I am looking forward to playing soon with a friend that has it. '''["Cosmic Encounter"]''': What can I say, I will play any combination of variants that I have seen in the expansions or on the internet. '''["Bohnanza"]''': I have a love of this game and all of it's variants which I sadly don't get to use very often. '''["Cribbage"]''': I don't get to play this much these days but I will happily do so if requested. If you are already a cribbage player I recommend ["Crib Wars"]. '''["Icehouse"]''': There are just so many fun games to play with this system. '''["Go"]''': While I am not that skilled and don't play very often I have a large place in my heart for this game. '''["Robo Rally"]''': By itself or with the expansions, a great game. '''["Lunch Money"]''': Simple, fast and fun. A great game for in between the long ones for some quick stress relief. ["Bang"] may take it's place as it combines this with ["Werewolf"] and is playable with lower numbers of people. '''["Werewolf"]''': Werewolf was the name I first played this as but it is better known as ["Mafia"]. A great game with a large group. Not something to take too seriously but a fine way to spend some time with friends. However, it takes at least 11 people to be good. ["BANG!"] has some similar elements and will play at 7 or lower. == Recent high play list == These are the games I have been playing a lot of recently. '''["Carolus Magnus"]''': Not sure what to say about this. One thing that sets this apart is that you can play a game with partners. Also, it is a game with all the information on the table with the exception of the pieces you get for next turn which you role for at the end of your turn. '''["El Caballero"]''': A recent trade I find this very competitive tile laying game fascinating. It has a lot of options and I am looking forward to seeing how it combines with ["El Grande"] some day. Before I started playing this I was pretty interested in ["Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers"] but now I would rather play this every time. '''["Entropy"]''': ["Meredith Hale"] challenged me to a game of this and we have been playing quite a bit since then. It is a simple game but it is challenging. ["Marty Hale-Evans"] told me about a computer version and I am now playing frequently. '''["Tigris & Euphrates"]''': Recent talk about this game on the SCG list got me into an online gmae and I have now played it a few times in online and face-to-face beginner games. My first exposure was when I was half asleep and my impression was a poor one. I am glad that I gave it another try. == Possible Favorites == These are games that I have played once or twice, I think will make it to my favorites list and I want to play more of them. '''["Baron Munchausen"]''': This is a lot of fun for a group of 5 or more. Lots of short adlibbed stories and interaction with others. '''["Dune"]''': I have played it twice and am convinced it will be a favorite if I can get people to play it with me. The trouble is that it really needs six players to play properly. '''["BANG!"]''': I had been wanting to play this for some time and finally got the chance last Saturday. I am definitely getting this and it may replace ["Lunch Money"] and ["Werewolf"] in my favorites. Another play, this time with all 7 players has convinced me that this is a game I want. The table talk is excellent. '''["El Caballero"]''': See above == Gaming wants == These are games that I have never played and would very much like to. '''["Bohnanza"]''': I would like to play more of the variants for this. '''["Kaiju"]''': This is a giant monsters in Japan game that just came out. If anyone picks this up I want to play. '''["Fury of Dracula"]''': See above == Other gaming affiliations == '''["Puget Dune"]''': I would like to get together with a group to play Dune about once a month for a while. I have created a group called Puget Dune for the purpose of facilitating anyone in the Puget Sound are getting together to play Dune, even if I am not there. If you think you would like to play occasionally or even just once feel free to join. This is the Avalon Hill / Descartes game not the Parker Brothers game. '''["Seattle Icy Rabbits"]''': I would like to get together with people to play games using the Icehouse game system from Looney Labs. I have a group called Seattle Icy Rabbits for this purpose. If you think you would like to play occasionally or even just once feel free to join. '''["Game Demos"]''': I run demos of games for the companies listed below. If you would like a demo of any of their games or know of a store that has a regular board game night and would like to have me come by please let me know.
