Okay, next tournament one of us hosts, the other must bring 1960/Queen's Gambit, and we must play both.

Deal. I have only played once but I loved it.  It is surprisingly difficult to get Kennedy to win from what I can see.  Nixon starts with some pretty significant advantages.  And it is awesome how realisitic the game is and how it weaves actual historical events into the gameplay.  As a history buff, I just gush over this game.

So if I recall my list of obligations correctly, I need to play both 1960 and Queen's Gambit with Matt Archibald, I need to play Twilight Struggle with Matt Brinkman, I need to play Starcraft with Josh Kopp and all comers, and naturally Mark Underwood and I must gin up as many multi-player Epic Duels games as we can manage.  Am I forgetting anyone at this point?

It's to the point where I'm going to have to schedule a weekend as the Annual Redemption National Un-Tournament, whereby we all get together and play all these games other than Redemption together.

"Though it really ticks me off when people have a massively disorganized territory." does sloppy count? or everything outta place?
Dude Clift's cousin has to be the messiest person I've ever played against if you're messier than him I will punch you right then and there at the table. Because
Man, you should have seen Clift at the GA state at booster draft, when we were done drafting our cards! He had all of his cards in a huge pile, and all messy! Lol!

I'd be for it so as long as it is Morgan Freeman.
I'd also be for forcing people to use a certain card layout so as long as I don't have to change mine to a great extent.

I played that a long time ago, I really liked it.  Can't remember the rules for the life of me now.

Random fact of the day: Cribbage is the one game one is allowed to bet money on in British pubs.
