"March Madness actually consists of two very different games: a "basic" game that lets you play an entire 64-team tournament in a single session with each player controlling the fortunes of 16 different teams, and an "advanced" game that allows you to have great college teams from different eras play each other in single games that take about 30 minutes to complete. This has become a staple for me among my college basketball games collection." Might mount boards and chips and counters on magnets for vertical play eventually. glass beads) for chips, but may have some plastic ones laser cut. As it is, I would have to commission someone else to do so.
Makes me wish I could use design software well enough to make my own counters. (Great work though and many if not most may prefer these excellent counter upgrades.) Sticking with generic counters for now over somehat cartoonish artwork, which were well done but not to my personal taste. Solid as is, but fun to tinker with.(My tinkers have been on compnents/graphics side not substance as the substance of this game is nearly perfect.).Ĭoaches cards posted by devotees were an excellent addtion to this game and I hope to see more of this being done.įan here has psoted player nice counter upgrades, but would like to see real faces (like on coaches cards) for players.
Free and well worth time and cost to print out if you are a fan of college basketball. Again, if you know of better games, then by all means join the discussion and, as always, thanks for reading and participating! I had to give a lot of leeway to criteria #2 and included some games that are very light (at best) on game simulation but are quite good at simulating season/management/drafting/etc. There are just not a lot of basketball games (or at least not a lot of good ones) out there. I find that these lists sometimes are helpful for others seeking similar games and the more rich the discussion for more useful the list.Īs a side note, this is the toughest Top 10 list I have done to date. FYI - I am a sucker for comments and discussion and usually most if not all of them. If I missed one that you feel is essential or I am "insane for not listing" (trust me, it has been said before), then by all means let the comments fly. Feel free to this list (to draw attention and more comments) or any pleasing, interesting or thought provoking entries. This is a list of the BEST! As always, your mileage may vary and some entries may be "controversial." As such, please feel free to comment, debate, or just express your own point of view. These are games that meet all of the following criteria: (1) basketball games (college or pro) (2) focusing on "simulation" of the sport (not too abstract) and (3) fun to play.
