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 house 80 miles away, we still try to get together every
couple of months to play something. And we are still just as goofy. Each
of us has a copy of Amoeba Wars (and between us there are three copies of
Shadowlord (Parker Brothers), another sci-fi board game we enjoyed as kids).
We dream of some day placing several boards together for a giant game with
four times the number of spaceships! ...I just can't wait for his kids to
gain maybe six or eight more years, so they can join in on the fun too! :)
