YARG - Yet Another RAND Game [Isokron's Midgard wins!]

[WraithLord]

Good point. Let me restate accordingly:

Next game I plan to host will be an AND game, like RAND but w/o the random nation assignment, with the all ages mod and CBM and no generators. The game theme would be that all nations are allowed. Each player brings the nation he thinks is best or that he can play best.
So no nations would be banned from it and something like 18-22 players in all. You think Hinnom rules, you believe none plays it as good as you and that you are neigh invincible leading it - that's the game for you - as you can pit yourself against other players who think they can do the same with their nations!

The player bring his preference to the host (not me, like in this game). If the nation is free he gets it. If it's taken then can choose another nation.

All ages would be fine but CBM makes extensive changes to many of the nations. I havent played with it enough to have any idea what nation I would play best.
Now if it was CBM and random nations then it wouldnt matter

Yes, but for next game I don't want randomness. I want each player to bring to bear what he thinks is the most bad-*** nation. No nation would be banned b/c of balance reasons. You want LA R'lyeh go ahead and grab it, just take into account that you'd be facing the meanest, toughest nations on the block.
