BGTG 58 - May 17, 2006 - SR: Ticket to Ride: Märklin, Buy Low Sell High, Dschunke and Feedback
See? I told you I'd get a show out this week. Just had to ignore my family to get it done. (I'm kidding.) Don't know if I will, but I think I should try to knock out a couple more semi-smaller shows featuring session reports and some feedback. We'll see. This one starts with a smattering of news items and whatnot before I get into the discussion of specific games. Stuff like mentioning some new boardgame podcasts that are out there, new play-by-web options, and so on.

Mark,
I"m a Vassal newbie, but I have been playing a little ASL in it. I'm willing to muddle through something together. I'm hot to try Twilight Struggle. Are you interested in that? Not so much a wargame, but very historical.
I have you as a Skype contact, but I don't see you on very often.

This is a fantastic podcast:

So, can you play basic TTR and TTR Europe with the Marklin version?
I don't know, Flieger. I hope someone has tried it and can tell us. (Guess I should look through BGG for an answer.) My suspicion is that it would play okay mechanically, but that some of the game balances would be off.
Mark,
I bought "Buy Low, Sell High"
since you gave it a positive review. I liked the game quite a bit. We played with poker chips for money and that worked very well.
The cards may get messed up very quickly so I will probably laminate them.
thanks,
Brian - BGG:sdhockeyboy
