Puerto Rico, Game 03: Moët Margarita - Interest?

Grundbegriff · Post by **Grundbegriff** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 11:47 pm

In May of 2012, I posted an overview of the familiar board game Puerto Rico, and then hosted a couple of games: Transit of Venus which started on 05 June 2012 and followed the core rules, and Summer Scorpion which started on 03 July 2012 and followed the Extra Buildings expansion.

I'm putting out feelers for a third round to be played with the Extra Buildings and Nobles expansions.

Any interest? Start would be sometime after the 4th of July.

I should be available for a game like this and would be in.

I will play as an alternate if you don't get enough people. There was a sort of waiting list last time, so I just put me at the end of whatever list you come up with to give others a chance to play.

...

I really should get a camera one day so I can easily take pictures of a games to host here. I've got plenty of space in my basement to watch a game develop.

Ok, I'll bite.

If I'm not mistaken, that's five people.

OUT
I'm actually going to withdraw. I dont think I can commit to something at this point in time.

Does this involve having to own the game or is it driven via forum posts and PM's?

I will lurk.

There is, with Newcastle out.

Also I need to learn what the Nobles expansion is before we're thrown to wolves.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 4:57 pm

Oh right. Soooo... sometime after July 4th, then.

Check in, everybody. Let's see whether we still have a full cast.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Mon Jul 07, 2014 9:32 am

I'm still in (unsurprisingly).

Moliere · Post by **Moliere** » Mon Jul 07, 2014 10:08 am

I am interested though I have never played this game before. There might be a bit of a learning curb if you don't mind a noob on the roster.

Grundbegriff · Post by **Grundbegriff** » Mon Jul 07, 2014 8:30 pm

I prefer having a couple o' newbs!

I'm still in but will still defer to other interested parties.

I can be put back on the waiting list and after LM.

Vorret · Post by **Vorret** » Tue Jul 08, 2014 1:08 pm

IN ... newb as well though

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Tue Jul 08, 2014 3:35 pm

I wouldn't worry about being new. If past experience serves Grund has done a very fine job of layout the rules and being available for folks questions (I'm new to the expansion myself so plan on asking when I get stuck as well).

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Tue Jul 08, 2014 3:39 pm

Does mean you have to go through a hazing ritual though, of course.

Just one more. Don't stop now!

You guys do know I have the expansion stuff for PR, right?

No, but it would have made sense to assume you did.

That's only on Mondays. Don't know if I'd go for the Wings, Potato Skins, or Cheese Sticks. If we went together then we could pick two but my problem is I'm on a diet.

The deal was announced on Monday. It's not a Monday-only deal.

Players are El Guapo, Moliere, Remus West, Vorret, and NickAragua.
Random.org will determine the seating arrangement and the selection of buildings.
The game will start, in another thread, tomorrow or Friday (or maybe Saturday).

Can we get an 8th part to the series covering the expansion and any changes it brings?

Grundbegriff · Post by **Grundbegriff** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 5:16 pm

As I did in game 02, I'll explain at the start of game 03 just how the expansion(s) affect the core gameplay.
