I recently purchased the rules for Congo and I am extremely pleased with the rules as I read them. I think I will enjoy if not love the game mechanics and look forward to running my first games for my group. Of course I am already thinking of using this rule set for a convention game but my initial reading seems to limit the game to only two players. Am I reading this correctly? Who among you have run games of Congo and what do you think about it for a convention game. Would I need an additional Congo deck of cards? Thanks and all comments welcome.

Sounds interesting. A group of us played Juglia at The Weekend. We all used separate decks and played different rounds. If you do play it at the convention, can you let us know how it works out?

Hi


I've run 3 games of Congo, So far. I like the rules and I tried a 4 player game uses 1 deck. It didn't seem to work, So I'am going to try and make a couple of extra decks for multi player games.

For convention I would do link scenarios, Due to the quickness of the game.

I take you can order the decks separately or do you need to purchase a second set of rules?

More card decks would help of casual multi-player games, not just Con games. I haven't seen anyone advertising them so you may have to scan a deck, edit the colours and print extras.
