剛剛我在yahoo! group spielfreak_puerto_rico發現有一篇文章

說一個叫International Gaming League (IGL) 會搞一個波多黎各league,
上位者還可以代表到外出賽(包機票)
賽制也好像好完善

先唔理三七二十一, 問下香港人可不可以join

原文:
(請留意紅字!)

would like to inform members of the group of the following:
(from a press release)

The International Gaming League (IGL) is set to launch in January of
2006, with league play in the game of Puerto Rico commencing in April
of 2006. For the cost of league membership and per-game fees defined
by the League's Manual, the league is offering play of 4-player
Puerto Rico games, leading to a Championship Final Event to be held
in San Juan, Puerto Rico (date to be determined) in 2007. Modeled
after similar leagues in such sports as bowling and pool, the IGL
will maintain data on all match play. At the end of the defined
league season, the league will select a group of individuals with the
highest win/loss records (employing "tie break" rules, where
applicable) and offer them a flight and two nights, hotel-paid
accommodations in San Juan, Puerto Rico to compete in a Championship
Event, offering a $5,000 minimum cash prize pool. The field of
advancing winners will be supplemented by the random drawing of a
number of Wild Card Slots (drawn from the membership ranks not
already qualified for the event by their win/loss records and based
on a percentage of the winning field of advancing players), who will
also be offered the flight, hotel accomodations and the right to
participate in the Championship Event. League-sanctioned play is
expected to be conducted both face to face and on-line, utilizing the
services of the Brettspielwelt gaming site. Play will also
be 'handicapped,' utilizing the IGL Handicap System, granting "start
of game" Victory Points to players determined on the basis of their
personal win/loss records to have "lesser skills' at the game of
Puerto Rico.

Members can reach me at my e-mail address for further information as
it becomes available and to ask any questions.

久違了的RA

[

由Reiner Knizia所作的著名競投式boardgame--RA, 新棋奧妙會代理其reprint 版, 預售價280元

新棋奧妙會於23日晚上舉行店內RA的試玩會, 我預定都會出席

RA是我個人繼波多黎各以外最喜歡的boardgame 之一, 規則不複雜,但變化, 可玩性都很高. 更可以考驗大家的狀況判斷能力

大學時雖然已愛上這game, 但因為友人已買, 我就沒有另外買一副給自己. 未幾Alea就突然宣佈out-of-print, 我知道消息後, 懊悔不已現時舊版RA在e-bay 等地方的賣價, 已達100美元!

RA 的reprint 早己在我的2005年度買棋list 內, 今次參加試玩會, 也會順便付訂金

我不會讓自己後悔第二次!

Subject: [tghk] special VIP session for RA : 23 Sep

Dear customers, We will be running a special demo session for RA for our VIP members this Friday night. RA is a highly sought-after game, which has called for prices of above US$100 on auction sites after it has gone out-of-print several years ago. The coming Uberplay re-print gives a chance for our customers to acquire the game for just HK$280 (pre-order). This game is one of Dr. Knizia's masterpieces, with interesting strategy abd high re-play value behind fun and exciting fast-paced game play. This re-print preserves the original version's beautiful graphics from major game artist Frank Vohwinkel, in a more compact box (less empty air) packed with high-quality components, including a bag for drawing the tiles. In the VIP session, the original Alea version will be played, giving our members a chance to see why this game is so popular and fun. Our pre-order period for RA will close in a few days, so this is your last chance to preview the game for your decision to pre-order and enjoy our super discount.
