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!
Trashdome suggestions thread
And somehow I feel the need to explain to you why I do the 'domes I do. Call it searching for a mandate or accountability.
I tried out Friedrich vs Napoleon's Triumph because I felt there is a pretty significant group here that plays wargames. Now it may be a bit smaller than in the early days, or these games are too new, or too much off the beaten track to have garnered gameplay. It didn't attract as many votes as I hoped, although it wasn't as bad as Schweig feared. And not every Trashdome needs 10 pages to be good.
To keep Trashdome fresh, I'm trying not to come up with the same games always. Mix classics with games a few years old so people have a number of plays in, as well as the latest hotness. Hardcore Ameritrash mixed with (light) wargames and hybrids and the occassional Euro.
The response to Konieczka vs Wilson was above expectations, and I think it offers a few more options to keep Trashdome from going stale. The biggest trap is of course to do the 'different' stuff all the time.
I hope you like my take on Trashdome. Let me know either way.

Make it FFG versus all other ameritrash publishing companies. Ameritrash Goliath versus Ameritrash Davids!

I've been thinking of a few grand melees rather than 1on1 trashdomes. I had in mind a trashdome of the CDGs and one on civilisation games. I think in both cases the top contenders will be clear, but between those top contenders it will be a big battle. So it could be a two tiered trashdome: first a list of nominaties of which the best 3 or 4 go through to the finals.
Maybe separate the two- and multiplayer CDGs.
Or do you think that it should really be pairs?

My suggestions:
card sleeves vs. 'naked' cards
expansion boxes vs. putting 'em all in the base game's box
Space Hulk vs. Earth Reborn
Batman vs. Spider-man
PS3 vs. XBox 360
cards vs. dice

I like the ones that are easier to get a big base of voters with like the one with FFG designers, because even if you've only played a game of each you can feel good about voting. When it's 1 game vs the other game - I feel weird voting if I havent played both.
Thus my suggestions are for broader matchups:
adventure games vs dungeon crawls
fantasy vs sci fi (or LotR vs SW as listed above even)
tactical vs strategic (or army control vs squad control - I'm thinking A&A vs Memoir)
EDIT: OOOH- the ultimate schoolyard rivalry for me was SEGA vs NINTENDO!

I would stick with pairs for the most part, but some broader matches would be a very welcome change.
