Hey Susan, maybe if I make it out to Austin for a recruiting trip we can finally get in that game of Kings & Castles.

Dampfross is also hovering on my "most notoriously unplayed" list.

I can bring Mare Nostrum and the Mythos Expansion, as they say it improves play, and we can kill two birds with one stone! I've been trying to get this one on the table for a while now. :)

I applaud your desire to start a gaming group in your neighborhood. I am too shy to reach out like that. I'm trying to turn my kids into gamers instead :-).

I'm new to Eurogames, but I have always been the one in our group of friends to bring out something different to do after dinner instead of watching a movie. In our group, Taboo and Pictionary are considered "different" so I am still trying to figure out which Eurogame would be the best to spring on them.

Mark: I despair of ever getting in a game of Kings & Castles. Besides trying to get in a game with you at the GoF, I've been trying for years to get in a game with Greg Schloesser at Gulf Games. For various reasons, often my fault, it never seems to happen! That would be great if you get to Austin some time, though. You give me a shred of hope!

Mike: I'm up for a game of Mare Nostrum. I'll read the the rules this week. Think we can drag some of the others from their precious Caylus and Antiquity?

Dani: Three words: Ticket to Ride. This is one of the best games if not THE best game in my collection for introducing newbies to Euro style games. Blokus (or Gemblo if you can find it) is good also and looks gorgeous set up on the table. I like to play games with my kids too, but it is also fun to play regularly with adults. See if there is a local group you can join. It's hard when you are shy but you will be so glad you did. Then you'll get to try out lots of different games and pick the ones to get for your family.

Hey, Susan! I'll be happy to play Kings & Castles with you at GG in Louisville. It's a date!
