Well, if you're after scenarios, you're going to want them both, but #3's got the latest rules addenda, and incorporates all of #2's rules, so I'd lean toward getting #3 first.

I have #3. My feeling is that either I'm going to be so geeked at finishing #1 that I'll want them all, or I'll be tepid enough not to want either #2 or #3.

I definitely want to try this one some more. I think I like Lock 'n Load better, but I want to play this at least once more.

I'm not sure which I like better LnL or ASLSK. I enjoyed both and want to try both again.

I'm not a huge Diplomacy fan, but, if we can get 7 players together, I would be in.

I *love* this game, but it's hard to find enough people and enough time.

If it is anything like the board game, I am in.

There's a memory aspect to it that rubs some people the wrong way -- after you put cards away to fulfill tickets, you can't look to see that you have the right number of cards. Don't think that'll be a problem; the main downside to me seems to be the lack of a map. 'Cause maps are cool.

Similar, but not the same. And has some very drect screw your neighbor elements...

Update: Christina, Ben and I played this on 2008-08-31. Interesting, but I'm not sure whether I'll end up liking it.

Definitely a fun game. I am in for any expansions.

I believe that WBC has this game as a trial tournament this year, which I find very amusing--having a tournament around a game that's so random. Don't get me wrong--I *love* this game--but it's not exactly a test of skill.

I wonder if you'll be able to get an AREA rating in it.

I'm curious what this one is like.

It's like a bunch of people shouting and waving cards at each other.

Actually, it's exactly that.

I played this today with relatives and others at my cousin's 40th birthday party. I am going to put "playing this with the advanced rules" on the bucket list now.

I'm really not that big of a fan of Chrononauts. I don't mind playing as filler in between other longer games, but, not sure I am so interested in a game of Chrononauts taht will take a long time...

That's going to be a hard sell, at least for me.

The rules are at http://www.pagat.com/patience/spitemal.html. I may have to ask my aunt to help me clarify which version we traditionally played.

Not sure what this is. But, don't like the "inflicting" comment...

Well, it's the "Outrageous game of bizarre choices".

And I think with a ranking like #4513, I can't use a word other than inflicting.

This isn't the game of George Kenan-style politics?

I like Illuminati. I am in!
