Has anyone here played Agricola yet?

What is Agricola?

Its a new table top village building game.

I have heard it's amazing but do not have enough gamers here to go out and buy it.

Go check out the review at Board Games with Scott.

I think I could get my wife to play it. You might try it on non gamers.

OH!  I'm a non-gamer.

I've been playing a few of these.

I'd recommend Bloons 3.

Man, they just won't give up.

A game of mine trhat I poked Shatman back at ;)

Currently the times of internatinoal friendships have been strung tight, anything can break the slender threads that have been setup between America and the Wind Dynasty of China due to unforseen events surrounding the trip of China's Princess, who was to go to America to visit friends, and thus she disappeared when on a cruise in the Bahamas. Her friends, a group of men and women, hellbent on finding the lost Princess and her friend have pooled their resources together and made a small fleet of watercraft, to search the route the unfortuenate cruise had taken. None of those, the friends to the missing Princess, know of the ad printed in the paper, and have thus begun the twenty second week of searching.

Elseware across the globe in China, and America, the ad appeared in June, the Princess had been missing for exactly twenty two weeks. Nobody knows where she is or if she is even alive. Many people have followed the ad and joined the staff at the Ilse complex and labs of Doctor Joshua Banks, an alias of Dr Martin Melbeck, the most insane mastermind ever to walk the earth. Doctor Melbeck has discovered the gentics required to combine human and animal DNA together into new forms.

Needed:

Dr Melbeck               Gentic scientist given a life term for insanity
Tirilgal Melbeck        Daughter of Martin Melbeck (taken)
Prof Julio Shmoot     German marine biologist on loan from Heartfordshire England
Nameless                 Head of Ilse Security Force
Nameless                 Head of Veterinary medicine
Nameless                 Captain of the S&R Yacht Vanguard
Nameless                 Captain of the S&R Yacht Wormwood
Nameless                 Captain of the S&R Yacht Coralskipper
Nameless                 Captain of the S&R Yacht Lady Luna

Various lab rats assistants and crew men for the ships and the Ilse of Dr Melbeck

Game rating: Mature
Game System: Guided Freeform

We are currently seeking captains and crewmen for the S&R fleet seeking the missing princess. We are also looking for players to play the badguys as well, (the bad guys being corrupt paid staff members iof the Ilse as well as Dr Melbeck himself.)

I think it might be time to re-download Hoverracer!

Check out my blog if you're done wasting time (and want to waste it in a different way).

No thanks, I'd rather stick with the tried and true PBP rpol thankyouverymuchly

World of Warcrafts really fun though.

Well, right now I'm having another go at Oblivion.

What exactly IS... Oblivion?

Oblivion (also known as Elder Scrolls 4) is a fantasy RPG where you can follow the main plotline or try the ton of sidequests offered.  Your character is highly customizable with several races, signs, and classes.  There is also a custom class feature.  I'm playing the game on PC but its also for Xbox 360.

I see.

Anyhow for me I perfer th good old fashioned Roller Coaster Tycoon games, (1 & 2 + both expandsion packs for each) They are good ways to pass the time when no net

I actually liked 3 better than 2.(I never played 1)  There was so much more you could do even though I thought the general difficulty for  maintaining a theme park went down.

RCT 3 is actually harder because it is all 3D and you xan walk around in the park and such. It gives a resaonable lack of theme park management and such mostly because many of the people going to thep ark and leave wait for the rest of their party to come out. That and duplicates of your made characters come in by the dozen. >.<

one and two are better because you run a park and not have to really care of people waiting for their party to get to gether to leave.

I actually though that added depth.  If you build a large pool though half the park goes over to it usually.

I liked the addition of fireworks, pools, and the ability to ride in a coaster yourself.

I thought in 3 the fireworks were needed, the fact that the people you created as yourself or a family or friend kept coming to thep ark when they were already there and you'd have a dozen or so of your own clones wandering around made me start thinking that just maybe the main game for 3 would be fine, the two expansions not so much.

Where else can you get motion sickness and not be moving, one guy made the most sickening rollercoaster on 3 he got sick himself.

Though riding Goliath might be fun...

However the best tycoon game in my opinion is the original Zoo Tycoon with both expansions.

Never played it. My I'm waiting for Disney Tycoon. I've always wanted to play around and make my own Magic Kingdom or Epcot, or my own Monorail lines

That sounds fun.  Can you design rides or is it a drag and drop system?

I have no idea, never played it before, and want such a game to be made, there is a man on youtube that made the Magic kingdom in RCT 3 though. And that got me to thinking that Disney should join in the RCT franchise too
