The main change is putting the 1967 Warriors on hold, along with the 1988 Mets (revisited) replay. I anticipate playing a soccer game with PSV soon, and hopefully starting basketball and hockey in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned!
The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
While reading the rules for SSG Basketball I came to the realization that I didn’t want to have to print and cut out the game parts and FAC/timing deck. I watched an unboxing video and saw that the printed/physical game came with the deck and plenty of other stuff, like additional dice for markers used during play.
So I went and ordered the physical game and 1990-91 season set, the same things I just bought as PDFs.
Call it a loss in the ‘try before you buy’ category. The 1991 NBA Finals replay may turn into a full season replay with the Bulls or Warriors.
I’ve also decided that since I’m 2+ years out from my 50th birthday, my 1967 replays for basketball and (maybe) hockey are going to go on hold while I play other season replays that I’ve started.
Stay tuned!
I’ve cut back on projects by picking the full season replays that I plan to actually play in the next 3 months or so. This eliminated a few long dormant items on my list, allowing me to focus on what I’m already playing, and also allows me to narrow the choices on what else to play.
I’ve also separated the ‘short’ projects (less than a season, individual pitcher seasons, playoff runs) into their own list.
And of course there’s stuff like the heavyweight boxing tournament in Title Bout II and the Facebook Friends Wrestling Federation in Face to the Mat which are more like casual pick-up games that don’t require a schedule.
I hope to finally tally a game in both hockey and basketball fairly soon.
Stay tuned!
But aren’t they all?
Inspired by Mike Yastrzemski’s visit to Fenway Park, and his reunion with this grandpa, Carl, I think I may do a 1967 Red Sox replay.
I have so many 1967 sets to choose from, after all. But it’ll probably be Ball Park Baseball. On second thought, I think I’ll use one of the other game systems, but I’m not sure which one yet.
I wanna see if I can get Yaz to win the Triple Crown.
Stay tuned!
I have not touched any of my other 1967 replays since October 2016, about 4 months before I turned 50.
I think it’s time I changed that, so this week I’ll either continue my 1967 Broncos season replay, or attempt to start either a 1967-68 basketball or 1966-67/1967-68 hockey season replay.
Stay tuned!
