Just the results please: Don’t really know what to call this one as I just came up with it. Perhaps it’s been tried before. The twist for this variant is that each season only the ending unit positions are published, not the orders. You’ll know who went where, but not who helped whom, or want may have been tried unsuccessfully.

Signed up: Doug Kent, Graham Wilson, Art Schleinkofer

A new game for 3-4 players. Manager your factory and build your products, but beware, increased production means more waste, and if you aren’t careful you’ll find that working in a sludge pit affects your productivity and the bottom line.

Railway Rivals: Anyone have a favorite map they want?

Brendan has volunteered his REVISED Victoria map.

Signed up: Brendan Whyte, Brad Martin, Richard Weiss, Andrew Glynn

Richard has suggested some possible maps:

1. Eric Brosius’s adaption of David Watts’ map of New York and PA (5 starting spaces);
2. Eric’s Poland (Probably 4, all start in one place, may not be good for by mail unless first turn had no costs for building on the same spaces);
3. David’s Iowa (there are ten starting points, no specified starting number that I see)
4. David’s New York and Chicago (7 starting places, 2 can start per spot, no specific # of players); or,
5. David’s Illinois (3-8 players).

Two maps from Dampfross – Ireland and Russia seem appealing as well.

If any of these are appealing to anyone let me know. I just need someone to send me a map.

Transcontinental USA: Eric Brosius’s variant. Now that we’ve play tested it once we’ll try again with a few modifications to reduce the east coast congestion a bit.

Signed up: Eric Brosius, Conrad von Metzke, Mike Barno, Brendan Whyte, Andrew Glynn, Richard Weiss (Will start when Perdu winds down.)

Catan: Settlers or Seafarers, player choice: Signed up: Brad Martin, Al Tabor, Andrew Glynn

Reader’s Choice: I’m open to anything, just send me the rules and if I think I can run it, I’ll offer it.

Weekly Winner Pick: Each week, each player submits a team name. If the team does not win that week, the player is eliminated. Players may use a team only once during the season. Last player remaining wins.

Simple Fantasy Football: Each player submits a list of the teams in an ordered list. Teams are then assigned to players as follows:

England lands on the continent. Italy attempts some trickery but the French switch his maps on him. Russia achieves the dubious distinction of having all his moves fail. Bulgaria and Sweden remain unaligned.
