How about Puerto Rico now that it is gone from brettspielwelt.de? I've not played there in years, but if a PBE version were available, I'd definitely start playing again.

Are there any licensing, copyright and permission issues with making online versions of these games? Can you just go and make an online version of any game you want?

From what I understand, the publisher retracted the permission they had given BSW -- given that, I seriously doubt they would give us permission. We do seek permission from designer and/or publisher for games here on SBW.

Aha that answers the first question I had.

The 2nd is how often do you get rejections from the games owners?

I'd be interested in trying my hand at creating a game or two on SBW but I wouldn't want to start only to find out it isn't doable.

GOA! Yes, that would be great.

When is Caylus supposed to be done?

I am really looking forward to that one.

I searched for "zoo" with no results, so I believe I'm the first to suggest "O Zoo le Mio". I think the blind-bidding and tile-laying mechanics would work very well on SbW. And of course it would be great to have a computer to handle the bookkeeping, which is very easy to screw up in real life.

I agree with Maharaja- Palace building in India. The simultaneous action selection is perfect for this kind of implementation.
CanalMania is also very good, because every player needs to complete all the phases before the turn pass to the next player. In fact, this feature is a problem in face to face game, but great for online games by turns.
So, in the games there isn't too much turns.

I'm repeating myself, but I think Goa would be superb for this kind of format.

I would second Canal Mania

And Antike, I believe, would be a good fit for this format.

Antike is available on BSW; a very nice implementation. Real time, I know, but I think it would be advantageous for SBW to implement games that are not available elsewhere online.

Didn't notice it on the site the last time I was there (although, I haven't been to BSW for a while....blocked at work Sad

)

yeah, looks like Antike isn't there.

So, I reaffirm my nomination of Antike (or Imperial, for that matter! Very Happy

)

I'll second that vote for Imperial. From what several folks say at BGG, it may be a notch better than Antike. Probably a programming nightmare though.

A game that I think would suit this format ideally is Leo Colovini's Masons. It plays in less time with plenty of tough choices to make. It's a fun play and would work well here.

Has anyone mentioned Palazzo? Is that available anywhere online? How about Pizzaro? How about any other game that starts with P and ends with O (aside from Puerto Rico)? OK, that last one was not a serious question, but the others were.
