D&D is the ultimate NERD game... You can't sink lower than that one. P.S.: I'm a great fan of Axis and Allies though if any of you guys know... I used to play it every week back in England at uni with a group of friends. We'd play for hours and hours and most of the times would leave since the game goes on forever. Well, that's especially for the World version. For the European version, it went on a bit faster. If the Allies (I liked to play usually the Soviet Union) kick some Nazi German ass fast enough, we sometimes continued the game by playing the Cold War with Germany and the centre: West being pro-Allied and East pro-Soviet. It was really fun... :D |

Oooh that reminds me, I was playing Risk with some people and they thought I was strangely good at it. First time I played in maybe 5 years |

Axis and Allies, one of the original boards not the new ones. I invented a different way to play the game. I printed out five copies of the map onto paper and taped plastic sheets overtop. I handed out dry erase markers, and made a free-for-all everyone at the same time game. Begining of the turn was purchasing, followed by setting out exactly what you wanted to do on the minimap (the copied map with plastic over it), and moved the pieces, then resolve combat. It was very interesting and added a realistic twist to it. Like, move all reinforcements out of your capital when someone else moves in and your screwed. Also alot of attacking stuff that wasn't there anymore because it moved as well. War isn't turn based, so the games should be as little based on turns as they can. Very fun. Tried it out and worked out conflicting rules and invited my friends over to test it out. Sixteen and a half STRAIGHT hours playing the damn game. Ate while planning. Drank while fighting. Best time ever. |

Sounds a lot like Diplomacy. All moves are resolved at once, with conflicts resolved simultaneously (well, concurrently). No dice roll either, superior force wins. |
