As someone who played Ian Beck's chariot game when it first came out Im a sucker for the Ben Hur stuff. I just don't think you need to add made up elements such as having a water jump with crocodiles in it to make chariot racing fun for everyone.Trebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-2216744864643324602017-08-21T17:44:58.667+01:002017-08-21T17:44:58.667+01:00I get fantasy, sort of.

It is a shame the people playing this are missing a chance to learn and play the Spanish Civil War.Trebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-12342194524067292972017-08-21T14:54:15.638+01:002017-08-21T14:54:15.638+01:00Based on your pictures, it appears that there were...Based on your pictures, it appears that there were a lot of nice looking games at the show. The level of innovation looked pretty good to me. I liked the hats in the chariot race game, which clearly seems aimed for the enjoyment of the kids that are playing in it. The level of terrain and modeling work seems to be of very high quality across the board.<br /><br />FritzDer Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-72992209563711097102017-08-21T14:48:49.212+01:002017-08-21T14:48:49.212+01:00It is tough when we are reminded of our own mortal...It is tough when we are reminded of our own mortality. Losing a gaming companion is a hard blow. I have lost a few.<br /><br />Thanks for the show recap. I don't understand the attraction towards VBCW or fantasy genres either...Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.com
