General Asynch Recruiting Thread

I’ve only played it once or twice but I’d love to play some more.

I’ve played it on triqqy, my only experience of T&E. Not a great user experience!

I can invite 4 people per 24 hours to the alpha.

Just some fair caution - Knizia can tweak one or two rules and make a completely different game. As opposed to Matt Leacock who can change 12 rules and keep sending us the same…damn…game.

All to say the rules will feel familiar but the strategy is very different. Main word of caution is be wary of setting up monuments…

Considering most of you have this in your top 5 I’m well aware that I’ll get destroyed. Just providing a public service so people can play it!

Ok, that’s a 4. I’ll set a game up.

Any more interest (@lalunaverde @Benkyo @yashima and others that I’ve missed), post in here and I’ll set up another game tomorrow.

As with all alpha games, once you’re in the group you can set up games with others in the group

And I’ve heard you all talking about Chicago Express. Is that BGA alpha as well? I couldn’t find it.

Yes, that’s an alpha. We tried it, personally didn’t find it a great experience async because of the auctions. I’ve not played irl, @lalunaverde would have to say how it compared

I’ll set up another one tonight as I couldn’t get 3 more in

I’ll take a pass on T&E. But thanks :slight_smile: I have a longish list of ongoing games right now. @Captbnut (I neglected to reply to your post directly…)

I agree with Captnbnut that the auctions are tedious asynch, but I’d definitly play again. Because the game’s GOOD.

I’d be up for trying Chicago Express again, but I’d want to play in real time with voice because I really didn’t appreciate what I was supposed to be doing.

Chicago Express wasn’t ideal. Mainly because auctions often suck on async plays. In addition, the UI is very weird in which many players, including myself, have clicked “pass” on the auction when they didn’t intend to pass

IRL Chi-Ex is a 1-1.5 hour “light” game.

Anyone else for a round of Art Decko?

I’d be up for it!

I can see auctions not being ideal. If people are playing, I’ll give it a try. But it makes me lean toward Ultimate Railroads (Russian Railroads big box) instead. I realize there’s not a ton of overlap there, but for some reason I was looking at the two against each other.
