Alrighty, in the future I'm going to be running some strategic online board games here; Smashboards will be the forum in which we discuss the game and our actions in-game. Sometimes these games might have prizes, provided by me (but no entry fee). In the future maybe we'd have tournaments or competitive games with entry fees of some sort, but for now, no.
How this works
You simply post in this thread that you're interested in playing with this group. I will add you to the list, and then you'll be messaged later and asked if you want to participate in an upcoming game. If you'd like you can mention which games you really want to play or games you'd never play, but if you say "I'm interested" and are added to the list, I'll still contact you for whatever game.
Players for the games are decided by me, then PMed privately. I will continue down the list until I get a full game. I'll decide players based off of who hasn't played a game in some time, who isn't currently AWOL in DGames, etc., the goal being to let everyone have a chance to play different games. In some cases I may have more than one game at once.
Games will ultimately be decided by me, but it goes without saying that if everyone wants to play Risk and is saying so in the forums than a game of Risk would probably be a better choice than Diplomacy. Likewise, if we played a game of Diplomacy it is more likely that the next game would be something like Monopoly or Scrabble rather than Risk, which is similar to Diplomacy.
In the case that we have too many people to play a single game, I may run it tournament style.
Some of these games may be played in one sitting while others may be played over a longer period of time. The format and game will be announced simultaneously.
Current games
In no particular order:
Risk
Diplomacy
Monopoly
Agricola
Scrabble
Chess (tournament style only, generally round robin)
Dominion
Settlers of Catan
Hex (tournament style only, generally round robin)
Blokus
Stratego (tournament style only, generally round robin or swiss format)
Go
We may, in the future, play traditional card games (poker, hearts, euchre) or lighter board games / arcade games, but those would be done outside of smashboards so for now we will be sticking to board games. If you have an idea for a game that isn't listed above, feel free to add it! Try to keep them in the "strategy" vein, and try to make it more complex than something like connect 4.
After I get some interest, I'll go ahead and send out the PMs for the first game (there will be a prize for the victor). Once we get some consistent interest this thread can be converted and we can have a consistent board-gaming DGames presence with a sign-up list like with Mafia. It'd be a good way to introduce people from outside our community to mafia as well!
