BrettspielWelt (Board Games)
 

For those of you who like strategy board games, and those of you who think you might like them, check out Brettspielwelt.

It's German, but you can use an online translator if you need to. Just download the client and you're good to go. To change the language of the client to english, find the brettspielwelt.prop file in the install directory, open it in notepad, and change the nation parameter from DE to EN.

Online you'll be able to play games like Puerto Rico, Caylus, Settlers of Catan, Power Grid, and many others for free. Hopefully we can get some 2+2 games going (I'm a big fan of Caylus).

The server is German, but most of the people there speak English (and are probably American). The games are great and the people are really friendly.

Thurn Und Taxis is awesome, that is all.

Re: BrettspielWelt (Board Games)
 

My uncle is German and my 10 year old cousin has been brought up bilingual and more or less bicultural. They have a collection of these German board games. I've enjoyed games of all sorts as long as I can remember, so we have to arrange some time for me to come over and spend a night playing them. Should I get some practice here first? Where should I start?

If these games take < 2 hours to complete I'm in.

Thurn Und Taxis usually does. Did I mention it is awesome? Carcassone and Siedler are good too, but they are not awesome like Thurn Und Taxis.

Was ist Thurn und Taxis?

Set up a game time and I'll play. I don't know the rules though I'd be happy to learn. Caylus kicks ass and I would be happy to take a few people through a game. It usually takes about 90m to play once everyone's on the same page.

Also be sure to check out Board Game Geek, a site I found originally through a link provided by Astroglide.

Re: BrettspielWelt (Board Games)
 

Carcassaaonasonaoneone is a great game for sure.

I've played on Brett handful of times over last few years.. very fun site.

Re: BrettspielWelt (Board Games)
 

Bump.

I've been playing Caylus on here a lot recently. If any 2+2ers want to get a game going let me know. I play mostly in the evening, around 7-10 CDT.

Re: BrettspielWelt (Board Games)
 

lol, i just played my first game on here in months at lunch today... won a 3er thurn und taxis

Re: BrettspielWelt (Board Games)
 

I love to play on BrettspeilWelt... such a great place for games. I espically like Caylus, RA and Tichu! I have never played Thurn and Taxis but would really like to if someone could help me explain it. I would be available after 10 Central tonight if interested.

I guess I gotta go run the poker room now... would rather be playing on BSW!

Does that mean driving at 16 and drinking at 16 or am I missing something [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Siedler is really fun live because you can be a hatemonger :P I own all the extensions and my sister has the card game but I never played that one.

Re: BrettspielWelt (Board Games)
 

I'm going to bump this - mainly because I want to learn to play Caylus and some of the other games there.

I play mainly Carcassone and Seidler (Settlers of Catan) - I'd be interested in playing other 2+2ers.

I'm Sarge85 over there also.

(Maybe we should get a list of players going)

it's pretty quick for a strategy board game

edit: and it's also a game that actually WORKS for both 2 player AND 4 players (and 3 players)

Re: BrettspielWelt (Board Games)
 

Puerto Rico is the greatest board game of this type I've ever played.

Well that sucks. I have probably 30 of these games but the convenience of online was great.

Re: BrettspielWelt (Board Games)
 

Thats weird, I thought they were all made pretty much by Rio Grande games?
