omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I've enjoyed the couple games of Race for the Galaxy I've played, but I think I'll sit this one out. Busy couple months ahead of me.

I'll play. Sounds fun. Don't know if I'll buy my own copy but I have the time right now.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Cool. It will hopefully be easier to keep up with than BSG too.
We now have three players: chrismg, omnis and askye. There's room for one more, if anyone's interested.

It looks intriguing, though I need to spend more time looking at the rules and setup. Perhaps I can watch a game to see how the online game flows?
edit: Unless it really is as easy as you say, BT.

It is certainly easier than BSG. In my experience, the main hurdle to learning to play is just getting used to what all the symbols on the cards mean. For this first game especially, I will be providing explanations/translations to help with that. (Learning to play well, of course, comes best with practice.)
In a nutshell, I think you'll have an easier time learning it by playing than by just watching.

Cool beans. Tell me what I need, then.

I'll send out a couple of pdfs with some game info. Beyond that, just bookmark that page with images of all the cards. Everything else I'll be able to do by email or in-thread.

We have four players! They are chrismg, omnis, askye and Connie. Welcome Connie for her first game. I'm going to sort out what to send to everyone and how to format emails and posts, and we can start maybe this weekend.

I'm going to be out of town this weekend; I should be back sometime Monday. I should be getting bt's emails on my phone as long as he uses the same address he did for BSG mail.
