Alright, not enough people getting into games or sticking with them and finishing them on my newest addiction so lets feed some atoters into the machine.

www.gamesbyemail.com

they have a clone of risk and history of the world, as well as axis and allies, chess, checkers and a ton more. Someone takes a turn, the next player gets an email etc. Fun way to play some of these longer board games without getting people together and rolling dice for a few hours.

If you want to play with a specific group you just need to enter their emails when starting a game, or you can start a game and list all the seats for the general public to join.

My only gripe with the site is that now that I can take 5 minutes for a turn any time during the workday, it feels like it takes forever for other people to go, and you get some ninnies who stop playing mid-game.
 
Welcome to the 1990's.

I used to play Diplomacy by email back in the day. I can't believe people still do this 🙂
 
Ok - you guys with Risk now have a Moderator watching over you:twisted:

I will not be able to setup until this weekend - not advisable to do so while at a clients location

Is it real time? No, the idea here is to play when you have the time. Instead of arranging to meet at a site and dedicate a half hour to finishing a game, you make your moves when you get a free minute. Yes, the game takes a bit longer, but you have all the time in the world to think out your moves and you can play many games simultaneously. Set is the only real-time game.

lol apparently they never watched me play Risk or Axis and Allies.
 
Just curious whats the timeframe these games take. Like are we talking a move every 5-10 minutes for a few hours while we do other things? Like will there be time to sleep xD

depends entirely on who is playing, I could probably get through a full game in a day or two with friends who play regularly, or even in an afternoon.

I prefer faster paced, but sometimes life intervenes and someone is afk for a day or two.
 
Alright I think its my turn and I sent an army from Indonesia to New Guinea and then my whole ma[ went blank. I cant seem to get this to work correctly =(
