General Discussion About The Game (TAKAMO)

[Nazareth]

Received my second turn of Takamo this morning. I submitted my turn Thursday evening and then walked the floor until Saturday morning waiting for it. It has been a very long time since I was this excited and eager to receive a turn result. I remember checking the mailbox every day, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day waiting for turn results on some of the great games I played back in the day. While I am receiving these turns in my inbox instead of my mailbox, I still consider them both in the same zip code.

So far, my turns have been there waiting for me Saturday morning like clockwork. I can't say the same for some of my pbm game turns. However, in open ended power games, the lull between turns was often taken up by diplomacy/correspondence. Having never played Takamo back in the day, I can't say how much of that power gamer diplomacy exists in this game. I would think that as the game progresses it will be there. Maybe some of the old Takamo hands can chime in and share some of their diplomatic successes, or failures.-) But for now, Takamo has taken me back several years to, dare I say the 'Golden Years' of pbm. I also can't praise enough the gms enough for their helpfulness. Truly don't know when they sleep.

Thank you Takamo, Randy, Thom and the team for bringing back that excitement that I thought was lost forever. Now maybe I can finally let go of that pile of Paper Mayhems, Flagships, Gaming Universals and others. NAH......
