I had to do some work and run some errands on saturday. Then in the afternoon, all of us in the apartment played Hearts of Iron, a World War II real-time strategy game. It was part of our (my friend and I) effort to get the other two apartment-mates to start playing it as the more the number of human players, the more fun the game is.
Sunday is a big work-day as I have to grade the first submissions of the class project. It usually takes all day.
It is not only with Hearts of Iron. Every strategy game gets better with the number of people playing it. Specially true of Risk which gets HORRIBLY boring with only 2 players.
Jalal: Agreed about most strategic games. however, some, for example Europa Universalis II, take such a long time to play that it is not feasible to play with others.
