    Blind Galaxy

    Has anybody ever played this?

    It's a text based PBEM conquer the galaxy type game.

    Here is a link to the rules

    http://pc046b.fzu.cz/galaxywww/blind_manual_245.html


    A friend of mine will be starting up a new game soon, and we could use more players. We play 3 turns a week.

    If anybody is interested, or has more questions, I should be able to answer them.
    Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi Wan's apprentice.

    Holy crap...I'll try to read through that when I have more time. Looks very interesting though.

    About how long does a game last?
    How long does it take to do and type your turn?

      Early turns take a few minutes. Later game turns can take a few hours, depending on how much stuff you have.

      Last few games lasted 40-50 turns.

        Sounds like too much work for me. Let me know if they develop a front end gui.

          Looks like Galactic Overlord on steroids. Seems a little complex for text based interface.

            It is, there are some gui's available on the internet. Although I use one I made myself along with an excel spreadsheet and a some notepads.

            One of the other players prints out a plot of the universe.

            Another uses a Mac so he had to do his own gui.

              I'm going to print out the rules and read them while I'm on me excercise bike.

              Maybe I can come up with a gui in my spare time....doubt it.

                          The first one might look a little odd because it has a map with a bunch of ? in it.

                          I just bring them up in notepad just fine, they both look like this to start

                            I had to right click and 'save target as' on the skip button in the inbetween advert screen. Rather round the houses but Ive got it now.
