I have various games in my collection that I figure, "OK, I'm going to get my friends to play this some time." I'm using this list to keep track of these games, since I haven't been doing as good of a job as I had hoped of getting to them.

Not sure when we'll get enough people, though I'd be willing to give it a shot with 3.

Look at it this way...I bought Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage explicitly in order to trade it, so as a result, one more copy got out into the gaming world.

I need to figure out whether I'm buying ASLSK#2 or selling ASLSK#3. To do this, I'd like to finish playing all of the scenarios in ASLSK#1.

Update: First, I want to finish ASL Starter Kit Bonus Pack #1. Also, I've picked up ASLSK#2.

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.

There was a game getting started at Congress of Gamers this year. Maybe if we plan ahead a little bit (and steel ourselves to play with people we don't know) we could jump in next year.

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.

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.

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...
