progUpcoming Gameshelf games need players! Comment or email if you're interested or have questions about it.
Acquire, a classic and oft-reprinted Sid Sackson strategy board game themed around corporate acquisition and merging. Takes a little more than an hour to play. (At least that's what Wikipedia says.)
M.U.L.E., an obscure but very highly regarded 1983 computer (and, later, NES) game about supply-and-demand competition among extraterrestrial settlers. Plays like a board game.
I have personally not played either of these games, but already find both intriguing for reasons besides gameplay. I think they'll make for good TV!
When/Where:
I'd like to play Acquire at the SCAT studio on the evening of Wednesday, March 7. Yes, that's next week. If I can't get enough people I'll punt to a later date but I have the studio time reserved now and would like to swing it if possible.
M.U.L.E. time and location is TBA. Sometime later in March, probably. I want to do something like the technique I used for the Rampart feature and dedicate a camera or two to filming the people playing the game, letting another camera just slurp the video of the game itself, editing it all together in post.
