(online) boardgaming?

[sooooo]

OK, I know it's a slighly strange concept to play boardgames online, but recently I've been getting into boardgaming IRL. I've been going along to a regular games night, playing things like Power Grid, El Grande, Dominion, generally "Eurogames" etc.

So, my question is: does anyone from RB want to play some similar games online on BSW, spielbyweb or yucata?

I'd be up for Dominions or Settlers.

Does sound quite fun.

Do you need a credit card or a working knowledge of German?

Are the games typically PBEM style or all online at the sametime?

[Twinkletoes89]

I have no idea what any of those games are but some online boardgaming is fun.

I like Risk and Monopoly personally on pogo.com

Those sites are all totally free.

BSW is realtime, the others more PBEM-style.

BSW is also the most confusing, though mainly because the interface is old and based around the idea of a metagame, not because it's a German site. You probably need to read a guide to figure it out. Here's one: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/42...t-you-need

I'm up for this. I'd prefer something in real-time rather than PBEM....not as much point in playing with the RB crowd if it's more or less sterile and anonymous.

If you are familiar with Puerto Rico, I'd heartily recommend this:

If you are not, it's one of the better Eurogames out there, and you can play against bots here, to get started.

I'm up for playing something. Sounds like it could be fun.

i love boardgames but never really seem to get the chance to play them IRL anymore. So i'd definitely be up for any online games

OK, well it's good that we've got some interest. Unfortunately though, I'm away for a week so I can't help in setting up any games. So either you guys can do it in my absence or I'll set something up in a week and a half's time.
