HA! that just goes to 'show' how MUCH either YOU or her 'knows' upon this! That's actually Lionheart to wit:

the "cards" are an 'adaptation' for "Solitaire" playings, for "orders" and such, while yeah, it'd 'work'!
cool

Awesome! thumbsupthumbsup

Its usually me reading rules and my wife with the television on, and I can't concentrate on the rules, and I watch the TV periodically, but really want to read the rules, so it takes me an hour to get through two pages?!

That's crazy. What kind of sicko would do a thing like that? And how do you know what side of the bed I sleep on?

Was she complaining more about having to read through the 80-page Battlelore rule booklet OR because she as winner didn't get properly rewarded with an appealing form of tribute afterwards?

If it was indeed the latter, then you really do need to incentive gameplay with some more appealing spoils of victory. Tribute can be offered in many different forms, including the most banal. For example, you could propoose that the loser must make up the bed the next morning.

Hopefully, after having waged a successful battle, you as victor won't have to so much as duck and cover as much as duck under the covers to dictate some win-win terms of surrender.

With the dining table taken up with The Russian Campaign, I did contemplate setting up my BattleLore on the bed.

What I need is 4 dining tables. One for BattleLore, one for War of the Ring, one for whatever we feel like playing at the time and a small one for eating dinner

Gah! I'm so offended! cry

We all know it is stereotypical for a gamer-geek to have glasses and so the cartoonist just HAD to give this fellow glasses, didn't he?! How insensitive?!? I feel like an impressed majority (or was it oppressed minority? Oh bother!). Boo hoo! cry


Oh, and lest I forget, I'm still tired of these inside jokes. What is a "Battlelore"? angry



(Great cartoon btw! thumbsup )

The Land of Counterpane
by Robert Louis Stevenson

When I was sick and lay a-bed,
I had two pillows at my head,
And all my toys beside me lay,
To keep me happy all the day.

And sometimes for an hour or so
I watched my leaden soldiers go,
With different uniforms and drills,
Among the bed-clothes, through the hills;

And sometimes sent my ships in fleets
All up and down among the sheets;
Or brought my trees and houses out,
And planted cities all about.

I was the giant great and still
That sits upon the pillow-hill,
And sees before him, dale and plain,
The pleasant land of counterpane.

Aw come on! There are much better 2-player games to play in bed! And they don't need any rules. Some of their variants, however, require extra, um, "components."

Remember that sticky stuff that you used to be able to buy back in the late 80's - early 90's that allowed you to stick posters on the wall?

That's my guess as to what he's using.

Unless he's using a homemade sheet metal board, and the figures have magnets glued on the bottom.

"Miscellaneous Game Accessory," perhaps?
