Message-ID: <169@ingres.ARPA> Date: Fri, 20-Dec-85 21:46:55 EST Article-I.D.: ingres.169 Posted: Fri Dec 20 21:46:55 1985 Date-Received: Fri, 10-Jan-86 04:59:17 EST Sender: usenet@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Reply-To: grady%ingres@ucbvax.ARPA (Steven Grady) Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 20 Some of us here have been playing Cosmic Encounter for a few months now, and I'd like to move on to a new game before this one gets stale. Here are the basic requirements: Playable by 3-6 players (a wider range would be even better) Not too simple or complicated Reasonably short playing time (1 -3 hours) Not too many pieces (this sort of rules out many Avalon Hill games, but this game will be taken out and put away many times, so I'd like to lower the risk of losing things.) (Preferably) expandable (ie if we like it we can buy expansion sets) Cost is not really a problem, since we have a lot of people to share the load, but if it's an expandable game, it would be nice if the basic game were not much more than $20.. Do people have ideas or suggestions? Steven PS It should be fun to play
