… game you'd want to play. "Greg Porter is the designer for Donner Party an intriguing game about the infamous "Donner Party". It's a game of survival and shame. This is his story of how he took a historic event about cannibalism and made it something you'd actually want to play. For some subjects, turning history into a game is easy. It's called "wargaming". Whether tactical or strategic, from ancient history up to the present, you just set the stage and set loose the units. If your game engine is ticking properly, you generate historical results. But it is not guaranteed. Sometimes Germany takes Moscow, sometimes the Lancasters lose the War of the Roses, sometimes the American Revolution doesn't pan out and the Founding Fathers become "those traitors who got hanged"…" More here link Amicalement Armand |

Careful Tango. This game got discussed on another thread earlier. It drew a lot of unhappy responses. I think it left a bad taste in some people's mouths! Take care my friend. |

"I think it left a bad taste in some people's mouths!" Yes, I see how the subject could gnaw at you. |

Cannibalism turned into a game you'd actually want to play? Hmmmmm……… Gonna need more really superb BBQ sauce, I suspect. |

Cannibalism is one of the symptoms of the zombie syndrome. Given the immense popularity of all things zombie, gamers will probably eat this kind of thing up. |

I think this stinks….particularly after a few hours in the hot sun. |

As a naval officer I abhor the implication that the Royal Navy is a haven for cannibalism. It is well known that we have the problem relatively under control, and that it is the R.A.F. who now suffer the largest casualties in this area. And what do you think the Argylls ate in Aden? Arabs? Yours etc. Captain B.J. Smethwick in a white wine sauce with shallots, mushrooms and garlic. |
