Unplayed comments

Sadly our games night is really struggling to find a regular set of gamers, so my unplayed games list is stubbornly hanging at 29 games.

  • 100 Strategic Games for Pen and Paper – I bought this to play in the car with Ness. It hasn’t happened in 6 years. I live in hope.
  • Adventures by Gaslight – We’re still playing through West End Adventures.
  • Agricola Z-Deck – I am not sure I want to risk a games night on this, but maybe if we’re in a silly mood.
  • Aladdin’s Dragons – Want to play this soon.
  • American Megafauna – Keen to play this multiplayer, but might have to persuade one of my grognard friends to try this two player first. Any volunteers?
  • Bittereinder – Eight hours, so unlikely to play. Shame as I’m fascinated by the subject.
  • Cobra – Cheap eBay purchase. Looks good, but outdated. Big stacks of chits likely. Unlikely to play.
  • Die Dolmengötter – Want to play this soon. Looks short and fun.
  • The Drive On Metz, 1944 – Ideal if I can find a history buff who might be persuaded to try a wargame.
  • Drunter und Drüber – Should work well with non-gamers.
  • EleMental – My wife bought this for me. Local Chiswick designer. Was being sold at the Science Museum, and is still might be. Looks too abstract for me, but none of my regular players like abstracts.
  • Gumshoe – I’d like to try this after West End Adventures.
  • Heimlich & Co. – My kids are a little young for this. Might try with non-gamers.
  • Höchst Verdächtig – My kids are a little young for this.
  • A House Divided – I’m optimistic about playing this with my brother-in-law over the next few weeks.
  • Inka – Math trade sweetner. Looks too abtract for me.
  • The Mansion Murders – We’re still playing through West End Adventures.
  • Mhing – Mikko alerted me onto this. Looks good as an after-dinner couples game. Maybe I’ll buy a Mahjong set if it goes well. I’m not ready to read Finnish Mahjong sites yet though.
  • Polarity – Somewhere lost in my house. Bad news as I know I could get a game of this anytime after the runaway Christmas hit of Bamboleo.
  • The Queen’s Park Affair – Tried to play this with three, but it’s huge. Probably best played solo.
  • Rommel at Gazala – I printed this out and it works well. I tried it with my brother in law, but he wasn’t impressed. It’s a bit too easy for my grognard friends. I won’t try it again with Drive on Metz unplayed.
  • SeaSim – Math trade sweetner. Haven’t really looked at it.
  • Settlers of Catan – Event Cards – Bought at Essen 2006. Next time I play Catan it is coming out for sure.
  • Steam Tunnel – Math trade sweetner. Haven’t really looked at it.
  • Um Reifenbreite – Bought for five euros at Essen 2006. Looks too light for my gang, but at least it is simple.
  • Union Pacific – Keen to play this soon.
  • Werewolf – I don’t go to these sorts of parties any more, so I’m unlikely to play it. I hope Chris’s daughter gets to try it at some point.
  • Wildlife Adventure – I liked Expedition. This one is in English, so should be more kid-friendly. Probably will not get played for a few years.
  • Zapp Zerapp – My kids are a little young for this.

  1. Push up the Dolmengötter a notch, as it’s by far the best game on your list. Just make sure you play with four, as that’s the best player count — I don’t generally play the game with less or more — and just keep on moving, and you’ll finish in less than 20 minutes.

  2. Only 29 games unplayed? Haven’t counted my own recently, but it must be three times that.

    I’d happily play Die Dolmengötter with you. For me, it’s not not played, just under-played.
