Silent All These Days

I went up to Malaysia for a couple of days to visit relatives. Back now.

Miss me?

Hey, wanna play a round of Illuminati?

Hmm. The easiest way would be to have two decks, similarly stacked and cut, send one to you and play via IRC - at least, for as long as we aren't in the same area.

BTW, have you seen Illuminati: Crime Lords yet?

Interesting idea, but I've never had the patience for these long-distance games... I like doing stuff face to face, somehow.

I haven't seen Crime Lords. Any good?

Oh, I vastly prefer face to face as well, but it is *doable* LD.

Crime Lords has a few more complexities than original Illuminati (action tokens, the bidding process at the beginning of the game) and a few simplifications (one central treasury, no control arrows). Also, the money process used during power struggles does mean wildly fluctuating target numbers, as well as a possibility for the money situation to change.

Oh. Yes, it is very good. It can take longer than original Illuminati, though. Because of the money thing it is also very playable with two people, unlike original.
