Warlocks (a sweet web-based multiplayer game).

[Covak]

Since I don't have much to do at work these days a buddy suggested I try Warlocks and now I'm hooked. It's a turn-based multiplayer game on the web, like ItsYourTurn.com games. Pretty steep learning curve at first, but once you get into it it's really fun and interesting. It's basically just two people spewing out two sequences of characters (representing gestures), which may look odd, but it plays really well.

 

This example game is a good way to get a rough idea of what it's all about. At first I was scared, but also bored so I gave it a chance and now I'm really glad I did. It's something a little different, and it's great fun

 

If anyone is interested you really gotta read all of the rules carefully first, then dive into some Very Friendly games (which I'd be happy to play against any of you, of course ) to get the hang of things. Since you only have to move once every 3 days, it doesn't have to take up much of your time at all, save for the intial rules reading.

 

Especially if you could play it at work, I'd recommend giving it a go.
