(...) Yeah, I loved the sci-fi games from Avalon Hill too, when I was 12. Now at 30, I still love them, with an occasional night of board games. My best friend and I used to develop variant rules too. Although he now has two kids, a wife, and a (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.gaming)

Sorry, not to veer off-off-topic, but I had to de-lurk to say that I absolutely *loved* Amoeba Wars. I played a bunch of Avalon Hill games and that one was the best (although I think was one called "War in the Pacific" or something that I also (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) Hmm. Currently, based on what we've developed so far for Starship, I would say the only real use of the brick is how the game encourages (pretty much demands) that everyone build spaceships and other space related MOCs and share images of them (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.gaming)

Copied and followed up to .fun.gaming (...) I can understand this now that I have given more thought to the term. Such games have a relatively strict plot and to play through it, the player must solve a series of steps to reveal the story. (...) I (...)

The rules as written definetly make a portable game. Many rule books just include sections with the optional rules. This keeps the game easy to play as beginners but also gives the advanced gamers something to sink their teeth into once the basic (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.gaming)

Thanks for the ideas. I sense two versions of the game coming on: The idea was spawned from a thread about using a small tackle box to carry around pieces for making little bots. This spawned discussion about creating a game to be played with such a (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.gaming)

(...) This all could be added to an optional rules section of the rule book. I am looking at this game from a miniatures wargaming perspective as opposed to a card game. Some wargame minis are played on hex maps which I would probably use if I (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.gaming)
