We are making a concerted effort to plow through a lot of them this year.<BR/><BR/>I like to play new games, however if a game doesn't suck I also like to play it again and again. To try and correct previous mistaks, to try new strategies and/or tactics or just because I like playing it.<BR/><BR/>I have certainly used Gamers@Dockers sessions to play previously unplayed games by taking them along and asking "Can someone teach me this?". It is mainly laziness, but I do find it easier to learn if someone has played it before.Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09062395288187308895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1138992820011815552006-02-03T10:53:00.000-08:002006-02-03T10:53:00.000-08:00That's exactly what my Thursday night review gamer...That's exactly what my Thursday night review gamers do: every Thursday night, a new game. They're usually review games, but if I don't have any of those, I pull out a game that I know the group hasn't played.<BR/><BR/>So last night it was LotR's _Sauron_ and before that LotR's _Friends & Foes_ and next week we should be getting back into actual review copies with _Ostia_ or _Hunting Party_.<BR/><BR/>I will occasionally do a "rerun" night on the first Thursday of the month, but only if the flow of new games has slowed.Shannon Appelclinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10454937577535623129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1138989324431137712006-02-03T09:55:00.000-08:002006-02-03T09:55:00.000-08:00OK, Bri--just come out and say it: "My wife hates ...OK, Bri--just come out and say it: "My wife hates to play new games because she never takes the time to read the rules, review session reports and read stategy articles, therefore, she gets frustrated and accuses me of changing the rules or neglecting to specify with minute detail certain aspects of play." Or you can be brutally honest and just say, "my wife sucks at gaming and is a BAD looser." It's the difference between a casual gamer (me) and a can't-play-without-spending-hours-of-research-time hard core gamer (you). At least you're not a sports junkie. Or does Tichu qualify as a sport?Dame Koldfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604268574067310088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1138988245329478882006-02-03T09:37:00.000-08:002006-02-03T09:37:00.000-08:00Oh, I guess it was.

She simply has no tolerance for looking up and debating rules. I really like the idea of dedicating a game night to trying new ones, that's a twist that had not occurred to me...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
