Another SpielByWeb, Anyone?
Well, Rob, Tiffany, Sean, and I just finished up a game of Tikal. Rob was the outstanding victor! Surprisingly (to me, at least), it took just under a week to finish it up.
So who's up for another one? I could go for Amun-Re, Hoity Toity, Santiago, or even another game of Tikal (although I'd like to try the auction variant). I wouldn't mind learning Hacienda, either. Jeff and I had played a game of Reef Encounter on SpielByWeb once before, and it was very confusing since we hadn't played it with a real copy yet. Now that we own the game, I think it'd be great to play online but probably not for someone who hadn't played the game before.
Suggestions?

Santiago!
or Amun Re.
I'm easy.
is there a game on the list that could be easily learned by reading the rules? cause then i am up for something. if not, or if there is a plethora of others who wich to play, then i will pass.
Interesting.... I read this line
"...Rob was the outstanding victor! Surprisingly..."
as "Rob was the outstanding victor, surprisingly".
I was like "what?!!....oh, ok".
If Spielbyweb, I vote Hacienda or Amun-Re.
BTW, Tulipmania on JKLM takes literally 10-20min to play online if you play live. Very interesting game. Scott Nicholson was concerned that you really don't get a good sense of the game playing it online...that it goes by too quickly, and you miss the pressure from the hard decisions, the bluffing, negotiating, backstabbing, etc. I would agree that I felt generally unconcerned about spending my money in the online game. It probably causes more angst with the real deal. Now playing it by email is torture because rounds consist of multiple quick decisions by both the active and inactive players....so I wouldn't recommend it for PBEM.
I'm up for anything. I'm in the "I'll have to learn it" crowd, but would be willing to try anything.
Rob: I read it that was at first as well, so its not just you.
Santiago is very simple/easy to learn.
Amun Re is a tad less complex than your average Euro.
No idea how complex the Hacienda rules are; I'd be in the learning-to-play boat with that.
Grabbing the bull by the horns, I've created a game of Santiago.
Name SABG-2
password rule1
Okay, I've joined -- how do you play, again?
(re: Santiago) I don't remember....all I know is that I sucked at Santiago last time. Chip on my shoulder...
Oh and on Hacienda, I'm on the must-read-the-rules boat on that one too.
OK - I'm signed up for Santiago, and have a very very rudimentary understanding of the rules. Enough to lose spectacularly.
I've also created an auction-variant Tikal, SABG-3, pw rule1. Let's get some gaming going!! Two games at once - can it be done?
I'm in for Tikal.
We need one more to make Santiago interesting, two more to make it deliciously tense.
One more needed for Tikal as well... where did everyone go!!!
