I used to play a lot of bookshelf games like
King maker, squad leader, victory in the pacific , diplomacy, civilization, just to name a few. I have them all packed away now. No longer know anyone that likes strategic games like these.

I have unpunched versions of Civilization and Kingmaker and Dune on my shelf right now -- I bought them to replace mine after Katrina (man I lost a lot of board games to Katrina) and haven't played one of them since relocating to Georgia. My bookshelf used to look like an Avalon Hill catalog.

Oh man, that stinks.

I've always wanted to play Dune.

Dune was a lot of fun -- had a group of guys who played games in High School, mostly AH games like Dune, all nighters of Civilization, Amoeba Wars, Richthofen's War, Diplomacy, Kingmaker, Speed Circuit, Ogre/GEV, Wooden Ships & Iron Men, etc. I liked Civ and Kingmaker the most, and created a lame turn-based text computer game based on Speed Circuit on a TRS-80 Model III when I first started programming in high school.

I had a bookshelf full of the games so I know what you mean. Civilization is a long game but I loved playing it. I played Dune one time 30 years ago I do not remember much about it. What part of Ga. do you live.
