Cassiopeia

[Wishmaster]

Here's one I found last night whilst seaching here and there and generally poking my nose into places...

It's a game called Cassiopeia.... or Carcassonne by any other name!! I've downloaded both versions of the game - one is set in space!! but not really had a chance to play as yet. It's Java and can be played as a stand-alone or online game plus network play. I couldn't find any instructions, but like  said not looked that much.

Here's the link :

Carcassonne with a space skin sounds like instant win. Unfortunately I can't get it to run properly on my machine.

How quaint!  Well it is an early version, perhaps it will get better over time.  This goes to prove, (kids, make a note of this,) not everything works better with a space theme!

Being the absolute videogame nerd that I am, I'll probably end up making a homemade set with a Halo theme. Forerunner structures instead of cities, "slipspace streams" instead of roads, shipping yards instead of monestaries (or cloisters I think they're called here).  The meeples could be little ships. Yeah, it could work.

You might need to download a (different) version of the Java Runtime package - try www.sun.com  .....think that's right...

When I tried to run it, it said that I had another java application open that it conflicted with (which was true, I had 2 others open), I never realized before that Java apps could "conflict" with one another.  Also, my java is up to date as well.

I've got 1.6 now and I'm still having issues.

Tried it, didn't really like it.
