Favorite board games

It turns out there is a mega-version of civilization, with up to 16 or 18 players or something, with adapted rules and additional map regions including the far east. We will check this out tomorrow. We will scan and make a couple of homemade HotW (unless we can find additional versions on ebay.

RoR is a great game, probably my favourite of the ones mentioned here. With five or six players it is a gem of a game. There was once a nice article in AH''s General magazine on 100 ways to loose in RoR. Nice way to show how much depth there was in the game.

As you say the rules are not easy and I think it would be more difficult for the students to understand the rules than the history behind the games

There is a reprint of Republic of Rome in the works, should be out in a few months. We play about once every 3-6 months and always get our tails beat. Gotta love the 1st and 2nd Punic Wars at the same time with both Hamilcar and Hannibal out.

Or the time we decided to take out the Punic Wars and as soon as I got Scipio out on the table, he dies...

Does the reprint have a publisher?

I keep watch on my favorite games for remakes to try and steer them to a decent publisher. Too many think that their choices are only begging the big boys for crappy deals, or nothing.

Republic of Rome is being reprinted by Valley Games (http://www.valleygames.ca/), which is also reprinting a little game called Titan.
