The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
Yet another racing game is about to come into my possession. Lacorsa.
It’s a card and dice game with race car pawns. It looks cool. And I already set up a season to play.
Only 6 cars get to participate in a race, so I have to figure out how to incorporate 2 more cars, or some kind of qualifying method that disallows 2 cars from each race.
I’ll have it all figured out before I get the game.
Stay tuned!
One problem I have is finding time to play games.
A further problem is preparing print-and-play games for play.
Case in point:
I originally purchased this game during PLAAY.com’s 2018 holiday sale, and even printed out the game and the expansion team set that was sold separately.
The original teams:
The first 4 expansion teams:
I let the game sit on a shelf, and every time they released another expansion, I’d get it and print it out, but I only ever cut out the original 8 teams.
By the time I collected the rest of the teams they had released the game as a boxed edition. And since I already had everything in print-and-play format, I decided against buying the boxed edition.
I finally did get around to cutting out the 16 remaining expansion teams, and have yet to cut out the international expansion teams.
I did manage to print and cut out the coach cards, and assigned a coach to each of the 24 teams.
Now I just need to figure out a play format, and a league format, though 12 teams per conference and 4 teams per division makes the most sense, I suppose. At least until I introduce the International teams into the mix.
And I suppose I should play an exhibition game or two so I can learn how the game plays.
Stay tuned!
Almost a year between games in this replay. Hopefully It won’t be that long until the next one.
Final from Braves Field:
As always , it took a couple of innings to get back into the rhythm and flow of a game that I hadn’t played in a few months.
The new, printed 1921 season set is a nice upgrade from the old PDF set that I printed 6 years ago. For one thing I think more players are included, for another a team of 1921 Negro Leaguers was included. Not sure what I’m going to do with them yet, maybe have them play each of the MLB teams in the set.
Stay tuned!
