This is fab John, I had no idea that this was a feature of the Google
Web suite.

How do I get myself on the list to purchase a copy of Lokomotive
Werks?

I seem to recall a comment on the old geeklist mentioning UvsC as the
next reprint. Is this no longer the plan (or am I mistaken)?

Both are on my wishlist, so I can't really complain either way. Just
curious. :)

It is going to take a big chunk of time to make the UvC counters,
Sean, so look for UvC in December (I get a lot of mind-numbing game
stuff done over Thanksgiving weekend).

Union vs Central sound awesome, but I don't think I'd play such a long winded game often.  I'm hoping Winsome will come out with more games that play really well, or exclusively, with two.

I have tried Texas & Pacific with two, but I thought it was much better with three or four.

[rockusultimus]

UvC IS an awesome game and we've played the short game in under 3 hrs
in the past. It sounds like a long time but it sure goes by fast. The
issue is that there isn't a defined number of turns - the game length
is entirely in the players hands. We had one game that almost finished
in 2 hrs but then someone played the War card which removes ALL
resources from play. It took a whole other hour for the game to end.

I second the call for a medium weight Winsome 2-player game as well.
Actually, my wife enjoys Samarkand quite a bit, which is nice.

GM&O is our favorite multi-player Winsome for two. The only
adjustment we make is for each player's starting cash to be $40.
But I agree with Peter that Winsomes developed with two players
in mind would be a welcome sight.

I've only played UvC once, but I recall enjoying it. I had to pass on the last reprint due to already spending my game budget that month, so I'm waiting patiently for the next chance.

Make that another thumbs up for some 2-player additions to the Winsome line. Have only played UvC once but we enjoyed it. Great game if you have some leisure time.

It was a welcome surprise to me also, Dan!

I have managed to finish the Lokomotive Werks reprint, they are ready
to ship.

They are, for US Residents, US$50 ($40+$10 shipping & handling).
No play money is included in this game, as usual these days.
Only one game per customer, we can't make many and want to spread them
around.

We only accept $50 US Postal Money Orders made out to and sent to:
John Bohrer
515 W. Hutchinson Ave, #6
Pittsburgh, PA 15218
USA
We only ship to US Addresses using US Priority Mail with Delivery
Confirmation.

Foreign customers must send me an email for details on payment &
shipping costs.
Email address:
win...@fyi.net
All customers must send me a email to reserve their game and receive a
confirmation, as we always run out fast when word gets out. This
group's users have a one day head start over other people.

Ooops, I made a mistake on the pricing of Lokomotive Werks!

For US Customers, it is $45 ($35+$10s/h) and we only
accept US Postal Money Orders for $45.

For Canada, it is US$50 ($35+$15s/h) and we only accept
Canadian Postal Money Orders for US$50.

For the rest of the world, it is 45 EUR and we only accept
IBAN bank transfers to one of the Winsome Germans.

Please reserve a copy for me, John.
