Yeah, Battle Chess, and even Love Chess, but sooner rather than later the novelty wears off and it's clear the losers off the board and get on with the game.

Be it tic tac toe. Or life
If ya aint gonna play to win. I dont see the point in playing

Great!!! :aok
I found the Avalon Hill's "Advanced Civilization" from that site. Missed it years ago from the shop shelves :)

There is also the first "Red Baron" from 1992 :)

Remember it, heck I still have it. The wife was helping sort programs to take with us when we sold the house and moved to the RV full time. It was supposed to go to away but ended up in the storage cabinet next to my computer station.

I haven't tried loading it up, I got bored with it pretty fast years ago.
