Experminental Gamers [Social][Open] Update 4/28
Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 12:11 pm
Welcome. This is a usergroup for those players who like to experiment with different game types, often outside of the current CC options. These are games that players have come up with, but which currently do not have official options. This group will be a place for players to connect, develop game ideas, schedule games, and participate in unofficial leagues and tournaments within the group.
Please read on for more information, and indicate interest by replying in this thread. Also, the name is subject to change for good suggestions.
Now that we are active, here is a sample of some of our current activities:
We recently tried some games with a new rule on cashing in cards for spoils as soon as you had a set, no matter the value or board situation. Named "Panic!," it has some serious influence on flat, nuclear, and escalating spoils games, and also adds a new dimension to freestyle vs. sequential play order.
Activities
These are planned activities for the usergroup (open to changes):
1) Organize private games with agreed rules.
2) Discuss possible variations and set up games.
3) Discuss strategies of completed games.
4) Organize sitters for special rules games.
5) Promote special rules games through the suggestions forum.
6) Engage in thoughtful discussion and gameplay with like minded individuals.
7) Organize leagues and tournaments in various game types.
