dagibbsSpent today at ironphoenix's place playing in the first of his "long-game" days. The game of choice was 2038 -- one of the 18xx series, but set in the future. This one is all about being the nastiest and most effective capitalist bastard that you possibly can. We started with the inexperienced players arriving an hour early for a rules explanation, and then game start an hour later. We had 4 newbies (including me), and 2 experienced players -- I pulled out a fairly clear first (5500+ net worth) despite a major rules snafu (misexplained, not misunderstood) that would have affected my late game a fair bit, with the 2 experienced players both in the 4800-4600 range, and the rest below that. If it weren't on the order of 15 years out of print, I just might be looking to get a copy of this game. I'm definitely going to look at playing others in this series.
