Has anyone played this game? I'm thinking of laying out the money to buy it for COVID enforced isolation. Just curious as to thoughts on the game and whether anyone who has tried it would recommend the game. Thanks.

Impressive piece of work. Nuclear War Simulator website

For a little less serious gaming, https://www.conflictnations.com I haven't tried it but the trailer looks like at least 50% of what I want in a wargame, and a good bit beyond what I desire in eye candy.

There was a spamming/posting to our Facebook page today for an in-development new game. Looks worth some investigation to me, one developer with some devoted fans. http://project-neptune.com/

Can anyone recommend a modern naval board game that can be played in under 2 hours?

The Best Board Game Ever Is a Chilling Re-imagining of the Cold War (War is Boring)

Hi All, So I have been getting into old computers lately as a hobby, and one of the things which is interesting to me is that many early games were playable for me under, say, MS DOS, whereas newer games often aren't. The one I'm thinking of this evening is called Red Sky at Morning, by Simulations Canada. It reminds me quite a bit of Harpoon in naval focus, if not scope—it's much more grand strategy than tactics. 99% of the game is perfectly accessible, though complex.
