Pong Report

Hello readers! I'm Zach, and I recently joined the Ping Pong Civ group. Tony and I joined in the middle of a session so we decided to play a 2-man standby match until the main game is finished. To get into the true spirit of Ping Pong Civ I figured I would do a write up of our game. It's my first time so I'm sure there will be some mistakes, but hopefully you'll enjoy the read. We basically copied Pong 4's settings, but at the last minute decided to switch to a Shuffle map type. (Not shown in this screenshot). We then chose our starting leaders. I wanted to try out one of the new Rise and Fall civs, so I spawn as Robert the Bruce of Scotland. In my eyes Scotland is one of the strongest new additions to come out of the Rise and Fall expansion.

A new round of Ping Pong Civ has begun!  To celebrate the release of Rise and Fall, we spent several weeks recruiting players to join the Ping Pong Table. We're thrilled to announce that there are now 5 permanent players. Joe and I will continue blogging again, but we probably won't be making the posts public until after the game ends, so check back in about two months to see how it turns out. New Game: Pong 4 General Settings Five human players and one AI Humans play on King difficulty AIs play on King difficulty Humans can choose Civ leader Ping Pong Civ Rules Mulligan:  Until turn 12 (quick speed), a human player may  mulligan  any game or start that they do not want to play without conceding. We immediately cancel the game and start a new one.

Join Ping-Pong Civ and play with  real,  reliable, roleplaying people who write Pong Report Want to join the next game of Ping-Pong Civ? Nate and Joe are recruiting! We play continuously, every Tuesday night, from 8-9:30p EST (-5 GMT). Diplomacy and chatter are conducted via Discord throughout the week. No quitters! We have about 2 seats available currently. Rarely missing a session is okay if you give notice. We will probably play a one-shot game with the remaining players that week. No-showing even one time is a permanent kick without a very good excuse. We play the PC edition of Civ6 with all DLC and Rise & Fall.  This  is an example of our typical game settings, but everything is negotiable. All experience levels welcome - we use difficulty settings to provide handicaps. The next game starts on Feb-13. Interested?
