Default Re: The most complex game?

I have to say that Avalon Hill's boardgame "magic realm" has topped my most complex game list. it took me years to learn it and sadly, i am the only one that i have ever met that has played it. glad it had a solo varient.

Too bad you're in the US, then.

We play it once every two months, according to the season spirits.

Love the second edition of Magic Realm...

Not only did I play it but I began to mod it. That was just as I was beginning to get into computers and was probably one of the main things on my mind as I considered the subject of programming and "if I did then what would I do?". It struck me as a game that just SCREAMED program me! A board game built around Random Map Generation. The game was great, it was only the setup and putting away that was a drawback. Its still high on my list of "want to be a game programmer? Play this" (amoung others)

Lately I fed google with "magic realm" and boardgame. I was intrigued at how many active sites came up for it.
