After the brief but successful run out of Superfight last week, I thought I'd bring it again this week...anyone fancy some madcap battling? If you've not played it before, it's essentially a game of 'who would win in a fight between...' where each player creates a fighter and tries to argue that their fighter would win the fight. The fighters involved can end up being quite ridiculous though - for example last week we had a liger with a gatling gun, a half-Rambo half-cactus, mind-reading minotaurs and more...

Could play with any number really, but I think up to 8 will be enough:

1. Samuel
2. Stephen
3. Jacob
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

I've been wanting to play the library copy of A Game of Thrones for a while and a couple of other people have expressed an interest. Anyone for 4 hours of intrigue, backstabbing and bloody conquest?

I'd definitely be up for that. (Although I've heard it's pretty bad if you don't have the full six people, so we still need to recruit a couple more)

4 can be good too (and is quicker), as long as you don't play with greyjoy.

Added. Still room for one more.

I think we should make a pre-emptive assault on the small room. If any Imperial Assaulters try and get in our way we should burn down their castles, slaughter their entire clan and then make up a song about their downfall.

Sounds like a nice plan! Shocked

Also, would suggest starting as close to 7 as we can; happy to turn up 15 minutes early to help you with setup. Have you played before Tom?

No, I've never played it. I'll make sure I read through the rules and maybe try and watch a video before tomorrow night.

Is it possible to meet also around 6 or 6.30 ? I can also be there and helping with the setup. I am also watching vids on youtube to be prepared for tomorrow. If we can start earlier I am ok with that.

Yeah, I've only played it once before Tom (with Adam, Karl, and treacherous Jen). It took a while to go through the rules and explain things, before we could kick things off. It's not a quick game, so any prep we can do is a bonus! It's a really nice game though. Smile

I'll try and print out and bring some player aids / reference sheets. These 2 in particular, are worth checking out:

Hello. Smile

Some people maybe coming from work or wherever, and unable to make it before 7. That said, I'd be happy to start a little early, say 6.30 if everyone else is?

Also, if you find any decent tutorial type videos on YouTube, feel free to post links.

I'm coming from work, which is literally tens of meters away.  I'm fine with starting whenever everyone else wants to.

However, I don't understand why anyone would want to watch a video when there's a rulebook available.

Edit: and I did provide a link to said rulebook, but apparently it's invisible unless you log in, making my comment look significantly more dickish than was intended. The rulebook is here:

I can certainly be there earlier, probably not long after 6. I will have to get some food as well but we should be able to get everything set up and ready for an early start.
