My cousin and I were both Civ fanatics in our younger days.
We started playing a game via email and it's been fantastic. It hits all of the sweet spots:
- Playing a favorite game
- Playing with a relative/friend who also loves the game
- The async nature of email means we can play when we have time since we both have jobs and families
- The slow playing forces you to really stop and think about each turn
Highly recommend it.
- blacktriangle 6y agoPlay by email is also great for enjoying games with people who suffer from serious analysis paralysis. These people are unbearable to game with at the tabletop but really take advantage of the extra time afforded by async gaming to make for some deep games. It seems like some games (Diplomacy in particular) should almost explicitly encourage the medium of mail rather than table top play.
