Boardgame Library?

Oboewan

I've heard that there was a library  of games that might be ALREADY available to us on the cruise.  Is there any chance of getting a list of games included so that we can adjust the games we bring on board?

If you go to www.boardgamegeek.com and search for jococruisecrazy, you'll see a "person" who represents all the games that have been pledged to the game room by various individuals.  

I can't seem to make hyperlinks work in this forum but the URL is http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/jococruisecrazy

Oops... nevermind... I see that you're already pledging games there....

The rumor I heard was that since Steve Jackson games is a sponsor, I did not need to bring Nuclear War/Nuclear Escalation, Hacker, or Illuminati. Likewise it was suggested that very popular games such as Dominion and Pandemic would also likely be there, and that I should focus on obscure games or ones I just can't go a week without. So here is what I think I'm bringing (this allows me to bring a checked medium suitcase and backpack carry on, which makes me happier than bringing a ginormous checked suitcase, though that is still an option):

Aquarius
Carnival
Christians and lions
Chrononauts
Cosmic Wimpout
Cthulhu Dice
Evolve! The Game of Unnatural Selection
Gemstone
Get Bit
Give Me The Brain
Guillotine
Hive
Iota
Hey That's My Fish
Lifeboat
Loonacy
Lord of The Rings Tarot deck & Card Game
Martian fluxx
Plastic playing cards
Ra
Stoner Fluxx

There was mention of games provided by the HO... that's what I was looking for.   

These games WILL be there already:

Castellan
Munchkin Cthulhu
Munchkin Bites
Cthulhu Dice (should be many copies)

Dr_Leila you are a majestic gamelord

Dr_Leila

Christina, happy to oblige, anytime (except maybe before noon, I make no promises where mornings are concerned) :-p

Obewan, thanks, I don't need to bring Cthulhu Dice, I wonder what I can pack in the space that frees up? )

Snail_rampant (nice handle BTW), well, I am actually an ER/DR, so you can trust me, I'm the doctor ;-)

Dr_Leila - oh I do trust you!

RE: games to bring - anyone still playing ticket to ride?  If so,I I can bring it - If I leave the box at home it won't be quite so bulky

Dr_Leila

I love Ticket to Ride. Don't get to play it with people much, but I play against the computer sometimes.

I'd recommend bringing games in the box. There will be a huge number of games in the game room, and it will be easier to find games and keep them organized with the box. (Also recommended: label your games. I put a self-adhesive address label on mine. There will be duplicates, and you want to be sure to take the right one home.)

I've seen multiple copies of Ticket to Ride in the game room each year. It's popular among the younger Sea Monkeys.

I usually pack creatively and put boxes in boxes. The edition of Dixit I have is great for that.

snail_rampant

thanks, y'all

Nesting is the way to go if you can do it... take out the plastic insert, put components in bags and get a 2nd smaller game in the TTR box

I'm still trying to decide whether to bring Ticket to Ride or Boxcars; the latter takes about three hours, so would probably only get played in the Jocotels.  

I can bring at least one TTR expansion (Switzerland/India and/or Netherlands) even if I don't bring the base game.

If anyone has Mysterium there was a request for it on the FB group.

I did my packing today, and managed to fit Ticket to Ride: Nordic Countries in my suitcase, along with a couple of other games which I added to the boardgamegeek list.
