Lord of the Games. Site for Gaming Sessions and thoughts on games and life. Tuesday, November 27, 2007. War of the Ring Strategy - Part III - House Rules / Variants. In this article I will detail the various changes that I have implemented as House Rules for the Base and Expansion Games. I will also point out why I implemented them and what areas they “fix” in the game (some are just added for fun/variety). South Rhun as a City. The first rule allows multiple Ents to be placed in Fangorn (as opposed to 1...

Lord of the Games: Games without Victory Points

http://goodgulf.blogspot.com/2011/09/games-without-victory-points.html

Lord of the Games. Site for Gaming Sessions and thoughts on games and life. Wednesday, September 7, 2011. Games without Victory Points. Games that eliminate other players. These are games where players try to determine who commited a crime, etc. Clue, Whodunnit, and Mystery of the Abbey are the only games I own in this category. I still need to make a deck for Deduce or Die as it is the best deduction game I've played. Unique Game Ending conditions. To Court the King - this dice game ends with a final ro...

http://goodgulf.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Lord of the Games. Site for Gaming Sessions and thoughts on games and life. Wednesday, April 20, 2011. Below is an article that I started drafting back in 2008 and finally have come back to finish it. I will try to start posting some more comments and updating some links on the site in the next few months. I'm still playing games but just haven't been updating the blog until now. Have you ever wondered how useful the University might be in Puerto Rico or maybe the Cube Favor Track in Caylus? Utilities ar...

Lord of the Games: February 2008

http://goodgulf.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Lord of the Games. Site for Gaming Sessions and thoughts on games and life. Tuesday, February 5, 2008. I haven't posted many updates recently for a variety of reasons. 1) My schedule has left me less time for boardgaming (two kids in sports and other activities). 2) Since Christmas, I've been spending more time on PS2 games (Guitar Hero, Final Fantasy, etc). 3) I decided not to post all my game group sessions (although I will add some from time to time). David and Goliath - a fun card game that I purchas...

Lord of the Games: First Impressions of New Games

http://goodgulf.blogspot.com/2011/08/first-impressions-of-new-games.html

Lord of the Games. Site for Gaming Sessions and thoughts on games and life. Tuesday, August 9, 2011. First Impressions of New Games. I just acquired some new games this summer and here are my impressions after a couple of plays of each. This is the new wargame based on D&D universe. It reminds me of Axis and Allies, Nexus Ops, and Risk. Initial Setup is well thought out as the game commences with combat starting on the 1st turn. You must attack to get victory points (no turtling in this one! I think the ...

Lord of the Games. Site for Gaming Sessions and thoughts on games and life. Wednesday, October 10, 2007. War of the Ring Strategy - Part II – The Expansion Game. In this article, I will discuss how the Twilight of the Third Age expansion affects the strategies and game-play of the standard game. I will discuss the added components and the value they bring to the game. Also, I will cover some of the issues that the expansion does not address effectively. Witch King, Chief of the Ringwraiths. 8211; Strictl...
