I'm pretty sure we had stacks of 10/9/9. Well spotted... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/7623850513537754527/?src=hsr#806190 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 08:18:03 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/7623850513537754527/?src=hsrs#806190 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/7623850513537754527/?src=hsrs#806190 "The much deeper stacks of buildings seemed to be the culprit." Um... and you say you were following the rules correctly? Why were the stacks of buildings deeper? Perhaps it behooves your group to read page 3 of the rules again? "Shuffle the building tiles and place in 4 face down stacks of 7 buildings each. With 4 players, place all 4 stacks on the game board; with 3 players, place 3 stacks http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/7623850513537754527/?src=hsr#806188 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 07:14:41 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/7623850513537754527/?src=hsrs#806188 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/7623850513537754527/?src=hsrs#806188 Aye, and verily. It just felt like the end would never come, and that seemed to be the general opinion. The much deeper stacks of buildings seemed to be the culprit. I certainly intend to revisit it... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/7623850513537754527/?src=hsr#806172 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 20:15:54 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/7623850513537754527/?src=hsrs#806172 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/7623850513537754527/?src=hsrs#806172 I found that Stone Age works well with 2 or 3, not just 4. Anna and I played a lot of games with 2. Just to check the obvious: was your 3-player group playing correctly with the 3-player rules, and only using 3 instead of 4 hut stacks, and restricting the number of players allowed at a resource to 2? http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/7623850513537754527/?src=hsr#806154 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:18:39 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/7623850513537754527/?src=hsrs#806154 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/7623850513537754527/?src=hsrs#806154 Sorry again for messing up that move. I think I did that last time I played! Quality posting as ever... My friend Steve *really* likes two player Stone Age. He says it has hidden depths. I haven't tried it, so can't comment for myself. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/3935628174807600508/?src=hsr#805914 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 05:34:25 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/3935628174807600508/?src=hsrs#805914 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/3935628174807600508/?src=hsrs#805914 Curses! http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/3935628174807600508/?src=hsr#805899 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 21:00:40 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/3935628174807600508/?src=hsrs#805899 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/3935628174807600508/?src=hsrs#805899 Ah, but I don't know that game. :) http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/3542825154494514382/?src=hsr#803639 Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:10:34 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/3542825154494514382/?src=hsrs#803639 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/3542825154494514382/?src=hsrs#803639 I find Chess and Go really hard going too, but I find all abstract games stressful. Occasionally I'll get obsessed and play a few games at Richard's PBEM server and then realise why I can't cope with abstract games in general. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/5482907749740443409/?src=hsr#801212 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 03:37:56 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/5482907749740443409/?src=hsrs#801212 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/alfredhw/5482907749740443409/?src=hsrs#801212 40lbs!

You might want to try Great Hall Games in Austin; they had a copy...eight years ago? They might not remember...
