Относно: RE: RECENT OPINION POLL ON TURN-BASED CARD GAMES
I RECENTLY REPLIED TO THE POLL AND WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN CRIBBAGE AND WHIST MAKE THE SURVERY LIST.
WHILE CARD GAMES USUALLY ARE FASTER MOVING (REAL TIME) IN NATURE AS A RULE, THAT DOES NOT PRECLUDE THEM FROM BEING PLAYED AS TURN-BASED GAMES. OTHER WEBSITES HAVE WORKED IT OUT FAIRLY WELL ACTUALLY.
MY CONCERN IS WHETHER THESE GAMES WILL ALSO WORK AS WELL FOR WEBTV-ER'S AS THEY DO FOR THOSE ON PC. THEREIN LIES THE RUB! I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ALL THE GAME SITES, BUT BUG CAFE HAS FIGURED OUT A WORK AROUND FOR US WEBTV-ER'S FOR BOTH CANASTA AND CRIBBAGE.
ANOTHER ISSUE IS GAMES THAT ARE PLAYED BY MORE THAN TWO PLAYERS. IF ONE PERSON DOESN'T TAKE THEIR TURN IN A TIMELY FASHION IT WILL DELAY THE GAME AND RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE. BUT THAT IS TRUE OF ANY GAME.
THE CANASTA GAME AT BUG CAFE COULD USE A LITTLE BIT MORE TWEAKING AT TIMES, BUT THE CRIBBAGE GAME SEEMS TO PLAY OUT VERY WELL.
AS WITH ANY CARD GAMES TRYING TO REMEMBER DISCARDED CARDS AND SUCH IS EASIER IN REAL TIME PLAY AS OPPOSED TO THE TURN-BASED STYLE. BUT IT'S A SMALL PRICE TO PAY IN ORDER TO GET SOME POPULAR CARD GAMES ONLINE. I'M ALL FOR IT AND HOPE FENCER AGREES THAT IT'S WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT TO BRING SOME CARD GAMES HERE TO BRAINKING.
