Having had my faith in Craig's rating of this book justified, I have since placed a reservation for a couple of the Dresden Files books, which I am now eagerly awaiting! Aren't libraries wonderful!

Two quick remarks: MSRP I generally see as RRP - Recommended Retail Price.

Race for the Galaxy: Rebel vs. Imperium, available at several places here in Europe now, and according to information received, will indeed be available at Origins.

Thought you'd like to know. )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/797288.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/797288.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/797344.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/797344.page GMT

It's RRP in Australia too.

That really was a mega-detailed review of Race for the Galaxy, you really had to pay attention. I was putting some miniatures together while listening and if my mind wandered I'd get lost with what you were talking about and either had to lump it, or get up and rewind it and play it again.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/798359.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/798359.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/798770.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/798770.page GMT
Anyway, another most excellent podcast, if it wasn't for you G6G-ers I'd be a gibbering wreck right now.

I just want to know if there is a cure anywhere for AGOCD. I know I'm afflicted - I've introduced my local group to both Check Your 6 and AE-WII in the past couple of years. I'm currently obsessing about looking for a replacement ruleset for Flames of War since I'm tired of fighting cheesy tank armies all the time (Force on Force by Ambush Alley sounds promising so far...)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/801375.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/801375.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/803081.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/803081.page GMT

Good catch! I knew that green worlds as farming sounded wrong to me, but I couldn't remember what they were. That should make Craig like the game even more, as there is NO farming in the game.

Although being able to discard a moister farmer farm-boy card and destroy a major space station would be cool, it sounds a lot like a space Munchkin card. ;-)

Reading all the western novels in the area, watching all the old spaghetti westerns again, and downloading inspirational rockabilly music, so far, has only made things worse . . . ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/808625.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/808625.page GMT PC. Great game. Any one else grab it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/810111.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/810111.page GMT
Tom Lehman designed a predecessor to Race for the Galaxy a few years back. Before it was published, though, he collaborated with Andreas Seyfarth on the design of San Juan based on those ideas. Eventually Race came out, as an evolution of that design. You'll find the gameplay similar between the two, though Race plays a little faster and has a more geeky theme, particularly if you're a Space Opera nerd.

Tom talks about it on Boardgamegeek from time to time.

Starlit Citadel's got the story as part of its review of Race: http://www.starlitcitadel.com/games/race-for-the-galaxy.html

If you've got your hands on San Juan already, and space isn't your thing, then you could certainly derive similar benefit from just playing San Juan. But Race is really inviting, and the unified mechanics of "cards = goods AND settlement resources" really ties things together nicely. Also the non-exclusive role selection is, I believe, different from San Juan, as is the de-emphasis on sheer production of goods.

It just feels a bit more sleek, streamlined and sweeping.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/810141.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/810141.page GMT the Race for the Galaxy review could be shorter, it's a little involved for an audio-only podcast.
Just returned from Origins, and played some 1st & 2nd edition Space Hulk! Great gooby fun!

This experience really took me back to the Rogue Trader 1st ed days, where we played Space Hulk on the side. This is arguably GW's most balanced and most fun 40k game...

Anyway, is there any chance you guys could mention your own Space Hulk memories/thoughts- if you have any?

Not sure if the GW guys will ever update/re-release this, and it goes to the oft-repeated idea that the best GW games are no longer supported (Gorkamorka, Epic, Space Hulk, Mordheim & Necromunda)

Thoughts? Memories? Tirades?
I'd love to hear it.
Keep up the good work!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/810442.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/810442.page GMT
Also, there are some rumors that a new edition of Space Hulk may come out this year, but these are only rumors, nothing firm.


Until then, you could make due with "NetHulk"...

I always loved the mechanic of the radar contacts that could be anything. An elegant solution to the deployment issues of many board games.

I'm not sure how firm the rumors are or not, but they pretty much single-handedly ended Grind House Games release of Incursion as a complete, stand alone game for purchase if the rumors there are true.

Personally, I've been keeping my fingers crossed for months that the Space Hulk rumors are true.

In fact, until Russ said there was nothing firm above, I had assumed that it was much more firm than that. But he's the news guy, so I'd go with what he's heard.

Still, got my fingers crossed, though!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/812950.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/812950.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/813353.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245576/813353.page GMT
Apologies for a loack of Words from Wales this episode, will return very shortly though.

Anybody know what has happened to "This week in Wargaming"?, I miss it greatly.

I am selling a load of my stuff on ebay user name RUFUSGREEN . Check it out I need to fund a trip to Texas.
