	Need Game Suggestion Inflate your Upload Space

OK, so I have this freind from College right?

and we both enjoy playing games, and talking about stuff

but he now lives half the country a way

and is fairly busy

but we would like to still play games, and ones where we can talk and the like (social games you know, ones that give time for social interaction during them)

also they need to be something that doesn't take too much time, as he deffinitely doesn't have it (and I shouldn't)

thanks for any suggestions

worms.

-
a bit low-tech, but people enjoy it.
-
personally, I would suggest Liero/Tank Wars (Real-time worms) a free downloadable game.

I have not played that game in a long time. I liked playing it with my cousin, that's all I can remember.

Advanced Civilizations from Avalon Hill. Excellent social interactions.

Isn't that a board game?

Started as a boardgame, but they also have a computer version available. You can find it at a place that cannot be mentioned.

we did both love the board game

actually the first two years that we knew eachother I was something like 20-1 (wins-losses), my last year I was 0-6 or something like that (and he had every win except one)

one thing, is it easy to find other players for it?

you really need 5-8

I don't think it's that hard to find players for it. It's a nice social game, can be played when drunk.

I know that it is not bad finding players for it in board game form...

Hmm- you could try playing:

1.) a chatroom game on AOL, Yahoo, etc.
2.) a MMORPG
3.) Apolyton forum games (or perhaps create your own in the apolyton MIRC Chatroom and run it from there)

Nowadays, however, Lord British (Richard Garriot) and several others are trying to rename the thing just an MMO, so that it's easier to say.

Go isn't a social game. Too cut throat.

heh, any game is social if you chat during it. i find games with the most involving gameplay to be the most social since you always have something interesting other than real life to talk about. i've always chatted a lot when i played fps, rts, or mmorpg games.

Yes, most games are as social as you want them to be.

I have never seen people chat when they play chess. Not when I was in grade 9 playing chess during lunch. Not even when people play siamese twin speed chess.

Go is worse.
