...And so the answers are...<br /><br /><br /><br />drum roll, please...<br /><br /><br />Inglorious Pasties -Tinners’ Trail<br />A flicker of interest - Ascending Empries<br />How do you solve a problem like Moria- Lord of the Rings<br />Grape Expectations -Pairs<br />Pillage Idiots - Ekethorp<br />Keen as mustered - 1812 Invasion of Canada<br />We need to talk about Kiev-ing - Russian Railroads<br />Do not pass ghost - Midnight Party/Hugo<br />Techs as Instruments - Ascending Empires<br />No Sachsen please, we’re Bm Luttich - Wallenstein<br />Holmes Alone - Sherlock<br />Under Prussia - Campaign<br />It's a shame about Reille - W1815<br />I pity the Thule - Greenland<br />Jack, your body - Letters from Whitechapel<br /><br />There were a few mean ones in there: It looks like no one could remember Ekethorp (even if Adam vaguely remembered it existed), and Campaign (the dice-based chess derivative) was only played once, so I'm not surprised no one got it. And possibly only Martin would've got Greenland. Ascending Empires was the game that appeared twice. It had techs in it, too.Ersbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012602968152264418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-53486170726236592642015-10-05T12:04:08.226+01:002015-10-05T12:04:08.226+01:00I think a flicker of interest was Ascending Empire...I think a flicker of interest was Ascending Empires but yes, could be Cube Quest.

Don't read this if you don't want spoilers - I think I've got eight with seven shots in the dark:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />[spoiler]<br /><br />Inglorious Pasties - Must be Tinners Trail<br /><br />A flicker of interest - Either Cube Quest or the space-flicky game that I've forgotten the name of. So I'll have to say Cube Quest.<br /><br />How do you solve a problem like Moria - Maria, the 3-way European war simulator!<br /><br />Grape Expectations - Pairs?<br /><br />Pillage Idiots - wasn't there a viking-themed game that get traded away after two plays?<br /><br />Keen as mustered - presumably a war game - maybe 1812 - the invasion of Canada?<br /><br />We need to talk about Kiev-ing - Russian Railroads?<br /><br />Do not pass ghost - Hugo!<br /><br />Techs as Instruments - Innovation?<br /><br />No Sachsen please, we’re Bm Luttich - Wallenstein!<br /><br />Holmes Alone - is this your single-player Sherlock Holmes exploits Andrew?<br /><br />Under Prussia - it can't be Russian Railroads again (although it could, apparently). Perhaps Hab and Gut or Thurn and Taxis. But no, it must be Wallenstein again.<br /><br />It's a shame about Reille - no idea<br /><br />I pity the Thule - Thurn and Taxis?<br /><br />Jack, your body - Mr Jack!Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15249629075002821210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-28110788063285519742015-10-04T23:01:05.441+01:002015-10-04T23:01:05.441+01:00I think I've got seven.I think I've got seven.
