Enjoyed playing games online the last couple of days. Check out this free site:
boardgamearena.com
I've only played:
Jaipur (quick two player card game, very fun)
Targi (two player worker placement game, medium long...very interesting)
Libertalia (role selection, screw other player type game, quick)
+ Takenoko 1x didn't enjoy it quite as much
There's quite a few games other games on there I'd like to try.
I own Jaipur and Targi and have since ordered Libertalia
Wouldn't mind playing with some POGers, willing to teach/play slowly. My name on there is clowntable as well. I'd love to organize a ~4 player group of Libertalia or a couple of games of Jaipur or Targi.
I think
Libertalia is very much in the spirit of POG so I'll give a cliffnotes overview in the hopes of
organizing some play sessions.
- Arrrrr...pirate theme
- There's six spaces for cards and loot below
- Each player secretly selects a card from his hand to play at the same time, if all have selected -> reveal (players start with the same 9 cards so you know what everyone has and can keep track who play what...then in the next rounds you keep leftovers and add new ones so the cardpool starts to get different)
- Cards are ordered by the rank printed on it (a captain has a high rank, the monkey has a low rank :P)
- Cards can have day and night abilities (+end of game abilities) as well
- Starting with the lowest, working up to highest the day activities are resolved (this can be stuff like "kill the highest rank", "gain two money" etc.)
- Then going the other way the highest remaining player picks a piece of loot and puts his card in his den (this is basically used for end of game stuff i.e. if you have the gambler alive at the end of a round you get 8 money)
- Loot can be stuff that gives different amounts of money (treasure chest, jewels, barrels), kills a guy to your left/right (sabre), gets you minus points at the end (cursed skull) or kills off your card before it goes to the den etc.
- Night activities are triggered every time by the cards in your den that have them (could be something like "gain two money each night if you're the only guy with this card in the den") after this pick loot phase is over
- Theres 3 rounds of 6 cards...usually plays in 15 minutes total once you know the cards a bit. Loot and other stuff is converted to money=VP after each round and then everything resets
- Fun bluffing/trying to figure out what the other players will play etc...very POG-esque example...
- There's a gold chest and a sabre...if I don't take the sabre one of my neighbours will and will kill this valuable character I have in my den...but maybe someone else will get it and I can pick up the juicy chest. Oh wait a minute we all started with the card that kills the highest ranked card...I think it's likely someone will play that so maybe I should try to figure out how to play the 2nd highest ranking card....arrrrrr screw it I'll play this lowely guy who doesn't have to pick up loot to avoid one of the bad loot tiles...arrrrr
