My First Post

Dear Reader,

Welcome to The Rebel.

I thought, since I have a blogger account and I no longer post on BGG, I might as well start my own blog. Actually, I'm not a giant fan of the blog format. So, hopefully this will be only a temporary measure, because my plan is to at some point start a web site, with a friend of mine, and to host our own print and play game there. If you are very lucky, there will be a podcast as well, but that depends upon how board I am.

I've picked a format with cubes at the top so as to be welcoming to any Euro gamer who wanders in here.

Up until, two months ago, I would not have thought it would be possible to be a board game rebel, but it turns out that it is. It also turns out that I am one. So you can come here to read my rebelious thoughts about board games. But not today.

Instead, dear reader, I'm going to ask you a question. My friend and I are currently trying to rename our print and play game. The game is a variant of Risk, and was named Nuclear Risk. Unfortunately, its name horribly violates trademark, hence the need for a new name. The game adds a deck of cards to Risk. These cards try to represent everything in both real world warfare, and in B science fiction movies set now or in the near future. The game is whimsical, not for the easily offended, and probably the most chaotic game ever created. The game really is not about long term strategy, but about reacting to unforeseen and cataclysmic events. It's also about dishing out cataclysmic events on your enemies. In addition, the game tosses balance out the window. If you like unfair games, it's for you.

So, dear reader, (all two of you) please leave a comment on which of these names is most enticing and would prove irresistable to you, or, if you like, you can suggest your own:

Global Thermonuclear War
Clash of the SuperPowers
Weapons of Mass Destruction
The Folly of War

How about
Cataclysmo;
La Conquête Nucléaire du Monde; or
Fallout.

Fallout is pretty genius actually. Not that I don't like the other two as well.

Dave said...

Fallout is definitely a good option. I'd say the best two at this point are Fallout and WMDs, with GlobalThermoNuclear War a close third.

Julian said...

Dave two things.

1) We should pick a favorite. Maybe Fall out actually. It's a good one.

2) You should get an avatar. Bet you can't get one as cool as mine.

I feel like doing things that eighteen-year-old gals should be doing. No, I'm not talking about staying in late partying...I want to procedure and learn all about sex! I distress someone to teach me how to write a gazebo's dick hard. How I can mutate him cum using my all-natural tits, my fervid mouth, my hands and my pussy and ass. I want to recall every erratic detail round roleplaying, BDSM and all the hardcore belongings you can do in front of your webcam. Don't undertake I'm not all that coz honey, I've yet to recognize a people who doesn't desire to see a no more than legal slut like moi strip and do whatever he tells her to.
