- TRASHDOME: MEQ vs. Starcraft vs. War of the Ring vs. Warrior Knights
Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
Two games enter! One game leaves!

Oh god. I'm so terribly guilty of this. I've made it my mission to get at least half of these played before the end of the year, and to not buy anything else that's not going to get played until I've managed that. So, the roll of shame is ...
Struggle of Empires
History of the World
Middle Earth Quest
Starcraft & Expansion
War of the Ring Expansion
Warrior Knights & Expansion
All bought due to temptation at a bargain prices. All too long to find time to play in baby jail. This is the biggest category by far and, sadly, none of these are going to see the table any time soon: if I had space in which to play them I'd probably pick something I already know and love to be sure of not wasting the time. I should probably trade or sell some of them.
Kremlin
Bootleggers
Bought with a passionate desire to play, put off both due to fiddly rules - now gathering dust
Junta - viva El Presidente
Nuns on the Run
Multi-player games bought to play at lunchtime at work, just before our lunchtime gaming group was reduced to two.
Illumanti Deluxe
When Darkness Comes
Gammarauders
Crap I got from Secret Satan this year & last that looks too interesting to get rid of
Catacombs
A review copy that I asked for, got delayed in the post and arrived about the same time as my youngest daughter and so got forgotten. I felt guilty enough about this that I ended up paying the publisher for it.
Railways of England and Wales
This would certainly have got played had I not discovered after getting it that I'd lost the rules to RRT. I couldn't find a copy online and I just - today - found one.

Nuns on the Run = Ok, only ok.
Junta: Never played, can't say.
Catacombs: I've had a lot of fun with this. If you can get a picture frame to go around the board to make sort of a bumper it makes the game go from good to great.
Vote: Catacombs
Feature
Middle Earth Quest: A noble attempt but fell totally flat for me. Just bored me.
Starcraft: Never played, can't say
War of the Ring: Classic awesome game.
Warrior Knights: A good game but the best parts were used in a more fun form in Game of Thrones.
Vote: War of the Ring

Main Event: All fine games, but War of the Ring is in a league all of its own.

Starcraft and MEQ, closely tied multiplayers, but I prefer the righteous concentrated aggro of Starcraft to the snarky co-operative questing of MEQ. But only just.
Warrior Knights I played long ago in the old edition. It recall it being epic then, no idea what it's like now.
So, assuming multiplayer is easier to arrange than a duel, my vote goes to Starcraft.

It's the only one on the list I've ever played, but it's pretty damn awesome.

Yeah, assuming I'm reading correctly and this is just referencing Battles of the Third Age, then you have to go with Starcraft.

...and it's not even close. Makes Georgia Tech 222 - Cumberland 0 look like a squeaker.

I haven't played MEQ or WotR. No desire to ever play MEQ but hope to one day play WotR. Warrior Knights is ok, but the pacing is off and I traded this one away after playing A Game of Thrones. StarCraft is the shit.
Vote: StarCraft
Undercard
Haven't played Catacombs or Nuns on the Run and probably never will. Neither appeal to me enough to buy. The new Junta is good fun and doesn't outstay it's welcome.

If you look at Peter's list, it appears he left out the &...don't know why he would just put the War of the Ring expansion alone.
Still, a pretty bitchin' expansion.

But play it on it;s own first and add the expansion in later.
