The players are gods at the dawn of time, creating earth's landscape and inhabiting it with people. They can command the creation and destruction of continents and the rise and fall of civilizations. As gods, players seek to gain followers among the civilizations. They offer those followers luxuries, and oversee the building of pyramids and temples on their continents. In the end, the god with the most loyal, wealthy, and powerful followers will become ruler of gods, and wins the game... Play involves placing triangular tiles to form islands, coastlines and continents. Players can also replace tiles to reform the topography of the planet. Each civilization is represented by a color, and once a civilization is "born" a player can gain worshipers in that civilization, which in turn may score points for that player in various ways. The placement or replacement of tiles may result in civilizations migrating, or going to war with other civilizations. These things are resolved by the various icons on the tiles. The game is fairly simple, but offers quite a lot of tactical possibilities.

I have been asked to bring out Dungeon Twister. An older game.

I will run this at 8:30 to give Colin a chance to play as he is ambassador earlier.

Four players
2 Hours with set up and rules explanation

[Bix Conners]

Dungeon Twister is a 2-player high level strategy game where 2 teams of adventurers with various powers are trapped in a dungeon. The board is composed of 8 rooms that can be moved and rotated by the players. Each turn, a player is able to spend actions to move around the dungeon, pick up and use items, battle with the opponents team, or turn and move the rooms of the dungeon. The goal is to reach 5 victory points. Points are collected by moving adventurers out of the dungeon or by killing an opponent's adventurer. Treasures are disseminated across the whole dungeon and will bring the adventurers well-needed powers. Each player has the same characters, each with different powers. Some run fast, some fight or disarm traps. The cleric heals, magician burns everything in sight and the goblin is so weak that the simple fact of getting him out will bring you two victory points. Combat and actions are managed via cards. To move, fight, heal or turn a room, you must manage action points obtained by playing cards. Those cards are not drawn but selected from a set of cards by both players. Both players have access to the same panel of cards at the beginning of the game so the game is really about managing the resources and adapting to the changing environment.

Gonna bring out Russian Railroads for a 6:30 start.  http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/144733/russian-railroads



In Russian Railroads, players compete in an exciting race to build the largest and most advanced railway network. In order to do so, the players appoint their workers to various important tasks.
The development of simple tracks will quickly bring the players to important places, while the modernization of their railway network will improve the efficiency of their machinery. Newer locomotives cover greater distances and factories churn out improved technology. Engineers, when used effectively, can be the extra boost that an empire needs to race past the competition.
There are many paths to victory: Who will ride into the future full steam ahead and who will be run off the rails? Whose empire will overcome the challenges ahead and emerge victorious?

Haha, yeah. Well compared to other games that make it out, I wouldn't consider it old. 10 years is still considerably younger then Carcassone or Catan. And it's a speck of dust compared to backgammon which I saw last week. =)

Looking at the age of games in my collection...
