Ropecon 2024 was a great experience for games. We played lots of good games, demoed Asian games and met nice people.

Rating scale

Here’s the rating scale I use, and how it corresponds to BGG ratings:

Enthusiastic: I love the game and want to play it. (9, 10)
Suggest: Good game, I want to play it and will usually suggest it. (7, 8)
Indifferent: I’ll play the game, if necessary, but won’t suggest it. (5, 6)
Avoid: I don’t want to play this game. (1-4)

Of green

The green colour of the sidebar is the Brunswick Green used by Nationalised British Railways – Western Region:

“A different color, also called “Brunswick green”, was the colour for passenger locomotives of the Grouping and then the nationalized British Railways. There were three shades of these colours and they are defined under British Standard BS381C – 225, BS381C – 226, and BS381C – 227 (ordered from lightest to darkest). The Brunswick Green used by the Nationalised British Railways – Western Region for passenger Locomotives was BS381C – 227 (rgb(30:62:46)). RAL6005 is a close substitute to BS381C – 227. A characteristic of these colours was the ease for various railway locations to mix them by using whole pots of primary colours – hence the ability to get reasonably consistent colours with manual mixing half a century and more ago.”

There is a difference from play with dice, because the latter is open, whereas play with cards takes place from ambush, because they are concealed.
