ooh! A reasonable way to learn PR! I tried learning on BSW once but it was a struggle. I have heard so much that I need to try. Thanks for the info.

And thanks for the list too! These work better for me so I can work and just periodically check on my games (and not get locked into playing a game for an hour).

Yeah me too, I don't play much online in real-time as I could be playing face-to-face then (or something like working doing chores, etc...). But a turn or two sprinkled through the day is very nice!

I should add it takes long time to play a game of Puerto Rico. Longer than T&E I would say.

if anyone cares to join, I just created a beginners game at the site. I have never (effectively) played before.

The puertoricogame.net site has now moved to http://pr-game.com.

note that they are beta testing Hoity Toity as well.

I also interpreted it as always showing 5.

The translation says

"When all players have completed an action, the action card is turned upside down and the next covered action is revealed."

I can see it both ways, but my impression is that means after action 1 you reveal action 6, after action 2 you reveal action 7 etc.

> note that they are beta testing Hoity Toity as well.

and La Citta is reportedly on the way.

Cornjob, here is a link to a discussion about just that: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/36428

Well...its very likely I misinterpreted what I read. Or that I was working from an earlier version of the translation that was unclear/incorrect. It makes more sense to me to play it the way the online version has it programmed...with vision of 5 cards ahead as you go. I'm glad to be corrected on that point.

Be aware that signing up for tournements can cause a *lot* of activity for you.

Can't begin to tell you how many games of Street Soccer and Dvonn I've played on this fantastic site.

I love playing StreetSoccer on Little Golem ... someday I may even start to win some games.

-Bryk

I've gone here, interested to play street soccer (got to learn it though) and I get lost on the page.

Anyone help me out? I'm fairly savy, but the links here lose me. I don't want tournament play, but I'd love to learn it.

My experience has been that the best online site to play streetsoccer is mastermoves.eu. You can get to play with your own uniform colors!!
Also there are more undiscovred online games on mastermoves that are rewarding. All have an element that I personally enjoy most in games. That is theme! If you prefer 'themes'with good gameplay rather than straight 'abstracts' mastermoves gives you alot to choose from. The league championships finish an average of 3months FASTER than LGolem.
And for the streetsoccer players. The known best streetsoccer player in the world plays in this championship! And as all you ss players know, that is FC Cwali. His record at the old LG site is incredible, not to mention the string of Div 1 chmpships there that he pocketed. Until you have won back to back titles(which no player has done yet at mastermoves, even Cwali himself, giving you an idea how tough that Division 1 is) at Mastermoves you can never really lay claim to be Top Dog!! Enjoy mastermoves.eu

Is there an easy way for a non-French speaker to navigate this site?

I spent some time with Google language tools and this site. It's slow, but very doable.

Does anyone out there know how to restrict a game of Alhambra to just the few invited players?

Bobby can you teach me how to read French and I'll play a game with you.

Sorry that I forgot to post the link:

http://www.agotonline.com/

Nothing there to play.

Also on http://www.gamerz.net/pbmserv/List.php?Dvonn, Richard Rognlie's play-by-email server. It's one of the games there having a web interface.

Seems like it might play too slow on the net. What do you think?

http://www.ludagora.net/

Too slow? I don't think so. With active players, it plays very quickly and even with once a day moves, it moves quick enough. Play-by-web gaming is not usually for the impatient.

I thought that this played very slow on the net not enough to do in each turn to keep me interested on the net.

It's a paysite, and an expensive one at that!

Membership fee is not required, you can play up to 10 games at a time for free. Subscriptions unlock additional features & start at $4.95/month.

You can always play the real thing at www.gametableonline.com. You can play for free against computer opponents or against humans and bots for a one time activation fee of $7.20

Can't begin to tell you how many games I've played here of Blue Max, Cartagena and (most recently) Wooden Ships & Iron Men.

I'm playing my first game now(3 Sopwith's vs a D.III) and waiting on a 10 player game

This can also be played at http://www.hexcellgames.com

I have given the link its own entry in this list at:
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/6473/item/1148492#item...

Well, I shouldn't spam the list
It also has
King Me
and (the one that has me excited)
Wooden Ships & Iron Men

The Cartagena implementation here is EXCELLENT .

King Me!, though, is only for one round. Therefore, to me, it loses ALL of the angst of whether to use a veto vote now, or wait for a later round. Still, if you are like me and haven't played it elsewhere, it's worth checking out.

According to the King Me! rules, you get all your "No" cards back at the end of every round. Thus there isn't really a significant difference between playing one round and playing three (other than the ability to "shoot the moon" in the third round).

does anyone else have trouble with this site?

btw, this list is getting me into trouble. signing up for too many games...

i should elaborate. Using Mac OS X and Safari this site just keeps reloading and never actually loads.

Yes, its true, site doesn't work with Mac/Safari-combination, but should work fine with everything else.

Just yesterday a new contest was announced. It is a mixed contest of Yucata, Kahuna, Chinagold and Rosenkönig.
Registration dateline is 26th Feb. Participation is for free.

interesting. 13 days to learn 4 games! I better get rolling.

You are right about other browsers working. I almost never do this but I was intrigued enough to register using my Camino browser. It is the only thing I'll use that browser for.

How do I contact the managers of the Cyclops site? I've searched high and low. Clans looks fine on my Windows work computer, but at home on my Linux box the dots are all offset and it's impossible to play.

just mail: info@cycloopspellen.nl

You can play at www.ludagora.net as well.

The site is now again available under http://www.techplanet.de/vinci/index.shtml or http://www.online-vinci.de.vu/
