I do tend to do better in games with lots of randomness. :slight_smile:

Hi all! As noted, we are coming to the end of “season 1” of the ladder - I hope you’ve all had fun so far.

So, a couple of housekeeping items:

  1. Please let anyone you think might be interested know about the ladder! We are at 29 participants and it would be great to get up to 30 or beyond.

  2. Vote for next season’s games! (Year 1, Season 2 or Y1S2 for short!) I randomly selected 4 games as described above, and I’m adding Brass to a “best 2 of 3” vote for the most popular games and Roll Player to a vote for the tier 3/4 games. This is to achieve my goal that new/resurrected games will have a chance to come up ASAP in the ladder.

Keep in mind that whichever game you don’t pick in each poll will still get played at some point. :slight_smile:

Happy gaming and I’m looking forward to some more great and possibly new-ish games coming up!

Here’s the poll for Tier 1/2

Tier 1/2 games for Y1S2
  • Brass
  • Gaia Project
  • Waterdeep

0 voters

Please also vote on Tier 3/4

Tier 3/4 games for Y1S2
  • Concordia
  • Fort Sumter
  • Roll Player

Result of table 7:

GG, my first flight, and although a lot of random stuff happens, it is a fun little game. :grinning:

Went and got Roll Player in case that gets up… it’s like a fun and interesting version of sagrada!

I believe the math would support declaring Roll Player and Concordia as two of the games for the next season.

I’ve been enjoying Roll Player too and the async is decent other than notifications instead of badges (like Wingspan was for a long time.)

A fairly simple dice placement game but fun with the theming plus some puzzle vibe plus character building. Decent replayability and - while lighter weight - it’s actually slightly “heavier” (in a good way) than Sagrada which has been played several times in the tournaments.

Agreed. Roll Player is a bit like Sagrada with a little more theming and a couple puzzles working in parallel. Which I like better depends on the situation but both are fun games.

Just because the vote for the “top tier” games is so close, I wanted to make sure everyone understood that you can/should vote for TWO of the three games in each poll. It looks like several people only voted once - which is fine if you only have one choice, but not fine if you thought you could only vote for one. :stuck_out_tongue:

I have updated my vote. Waterdeep is the only one of the first set I have, so I was happy to vote for just that. Though, oddly enough, Fort Sumter is the only one I have from the second set, and that’s the only one I didn’t vote for. A good enough game, but it’s presented with such theme that I expected the game to be less abstract. But I’d be happy to try either Concordia or Roll Player. Concordia looks as bland as a manila folder but has gotten great reviews, which makes me curious, and I own Roll Player in cardboard but have only played a few solo games.

How do I use my 2nd votes to vote against Concordia and Brass? :laughing:

LOL - obviously you should vote for Gaia and Fort Sumter in that case… :wink:

Uh, beginner’s luck? Not sure I understood exactly what was going on all the time

I think I just found my epitaph.

Anyone else not able to load Galaxy Trucker games in progress? I’m hoping it’s a server issue. I see our game in my listing but nothing happens when I click Load.

Same. Can see the game but just get the spinny world in the corner when I try to load.

They’ve had a decent number of server issues lately–I’ve run into that a couple of times with my current game.

It’s back for now.
