Up Next
June to September 1998

 

This is a list of other games that we have played at the club; chiefly between June and September 98, when results started to be kept.

6 Nimmt!
Pretty popular card game.
Adel Verpflichtet
Klaus Teuber's bluffing game of art collecting.
Ausgebremst
A racing game. Car racing version of Ave Caesar with some additions.
Avalon
The players felt this game was hampered by the random resolution of draws.
Bohnanza
Trading card game. Played with too many to last very long.
Cheops
Not one of my favourite games but some of the members seem to like it.
Der Ausreisser
A cycle racing card game.
Durch die Wüste (Through the Desert)
Reiner Knizia's 'Go' in the desert. Loved by all except for the colouring.
Elfenland
Universally popular game that always has a close finish.
Entdecker
A game of island exploration that seems to get mixed reviews. We all enjoyed it.  I seem to like most Klaus Teuber games.
Exxtra
Reiner Knizia gambling dice game. High luck content, but good fun.
Eye
Much too random without some rule changes.
Falling
Card game from Cheapass Games based on falling from a skyscraper. I haven't played, but the group seemed to feel that it was rather wierd.
For Sale (×2)
Card game of collecting sets.
Formula 1
The original F1 racing game. Mixed reactions, but no worse than Formula De.
Formula Dé  (Silverstone + Watkins Glen)
The latest F1 racing game. Many of us find it a bit tedious.
Holzwurm
Only played one hand so difficult to guage properly.
Kill Doctor Lucky
A great game that was enjoyed by all the players.
Koalition
Card game of European elections. Went down well with a lot of players.
Medici (×3)
A popular game with the members of the group who like to plan their moves well.
Meurtre à l'Abbaye (Murder at the Abbey)
A Cluedo type game.
Mississippi Queen
Steamboat racing on the Mississippi. Good light fun.
Montgolfier
Something to do with balloons.
Ohio (×2)
Trick-taking card game where lowest card wins.
Power
Military build-up and attack game. I don't know how successful it was.
Reach for the Summit
Generally felt to be too luck-based for the group.
Safari Jack
A sort of discovery game from Cheapass Games. We all got caught for lots of negative points at the end of the game - so we would play it differently next time.
Schnäppchen Jagd (×3)
Trick-taking card game where you collect particular cards.
Siedler von Catan (Settlers of Catan)
Popular strategy game. A bit dependent on dice throws.
Smuggle
Bluffing card game that went down well.
Städte & Ritter
One of the expansion sets for Klaus Teuber's Settlers of Catan. Generally thought to be an improvement, although it does make the game longer.
Stamp
I haven't played this and I'm not sure what it's about.
Sticheln
Trick-taking card game where you have to avoid certain cards.
Svea Rike
Swedish conquest game. Enjoyed by those who played it.
Vendetta
Reasonable light-weight game of gangsters.
Vernissage
A Klaus Teuber game. I haven't played it myself.
Wettsreit der Baumeister
The town building by auction game. Pretty popular with the group
World Cup Tournament Football
Tactical game of getting your team to and through the final.
