You were asked – TMP link Some of you may be unaware that back in 1979, Metagaming publishing a microgame two-pack called Annihilator & OneWorld, the latter designed by none other than Editor in Chief Bill. It was one of the first sci-fi boardgames I ever bought. While Annihilator is straightforward, OneWorld is pretty trippy. Do you own a copy? Have you played? 77% said "never heard of it"
13% said "I've never owned it or played it"
4% said "I own a copy, and have played it" |

Wait a minute, referring to "Bill" (our Bill) as "trippy" is stretching credibility and causing a disturbance in "The Force". |

You had to see the game.  |

Now I feel like my kindergarten years were wasted gluing dried macaroni to paper plates when I could have been playing this! |

Well, 77%, now you have. Bill, you can officially update the poll results accordingly. ;) |

You had to see the game. He's right man, that game was one wild re-imagining of rock / paper /scissor (now rock, mist, blade). To see the blades scythe through the singing grasses or the rocks fall from the crystal mountains…wow man. And the endlessly dreaming gods. Man – this was tripping. Oneworld is Great – one of my favourite microgames. |

Just a thought – any plans to reissue? Deluxe kickstarter, much bigger map, plastic 3D playing pieces…… just a thought.
I'd buy it by the way, but it might be just me……..
