Proposed yucata.de games
-
This list is intended to discuss possible new games for the gaming website http://www.yucata.de.
If you think YES - I WANT THIS GAME AT YUCATA.DE then give thumbs up to that entry.
Entries with many thumbs up may have better chances to be implemented 
If you think you can help yucata.de, just tell me (send me an E-Mail). If you are a .NET-Developer or want to learn the technology you might realize a game of your own. We also have need for someone helping with the images/graphics.
Criteria for games at yucata.de
* No player interaction. Trading and actions are usually bad. Veto cards are usually bad, since after each action of each player, each other player needs to be asked if he wants to say 'veto'.
* Too many microactions/phases. This is no fun to play as PBW. At least not for most people.
* No memory effect: Remember who has taken what, and so on. This does not really work in PBW. This is why Stratego would not be a good option.
* Two-player games. The vast majority of games played at yucata.de are two-player-games. I will think a long time before adding a game which does not have a good 2-player version.
I prefer themed Eurogames. This does not mean that I will never add new abstract board games but they are not at the top of my list.
2010-04: I just removed most of the abstracts. There are better platforms for abstract games than yucata.de.
2010-05: I sorted again by number of thumbs. That's a manual and painful process. I also deleted games nobody wanted, games which could not be played with two players, games by Knizia.
2010-09: I sorted again and deleted a few games nobody wanted.
2011-10: I removed a heap of games which don't have any real chance to make it to Yucata. I should delete at least 50 more, but many of the proposed games I still don't know...
The list is becoming pretty long and BGG is missing a sort feature. User Grimwold created a small script to help us out.

Publishers not working with yucata.de
--------------------------------------------
Avalon Hill - See Hasbro
Days of Wonder - They are putting their games online themselves and are taking money for it. Little chances for a free implementation.
Fantasy Flight Games - Nearly impossible to get permissions
Filosofia - No permissions
Hasbro - Nearly impossible to get permissions.
Queen Games - They don't see internet as an opportunity
Ravensburger/alea - I removed most games, since it is nearly impossible to get permissions.
Knizia Games are also completely excluced, regardless of the publisher.
White Goblin Games - They told me that they are currently not interested in online versions of their games.
Z-Man - Now part of Filosofia: See above

I would do all the things I have ever dreamed of doing. I would love to become a professional whistler.I'm pretty amazing at it now, but I wanna get, like, even better. Make my living out of it.
Bffffttt, Pffffttt, Buuuuurtt........

I'd love to see
RRT Railways of the World somewhere available for online play. Even if the game had to be re-named to keep MicroProse off your back. Railways of the World has no ties to MicroProse and so you'd only have to deal with Eagle Games.
Railways of the World is the same game as Railroad Tycoon, just renamed and republished with a few minor differences.

A terrific two-player game which still plays well with three and four players.

Here I go, asking for another Kosmos game. But it's one that would suit pbw very well.

I would love to see Terra Prime implemented on Yucata.de - I think it would be a good implementation in PBW format because you don't need to check with opponents for anything during your turn. The turns are sort of like micro-turns, but I think there's enough to do on your turn (or enough to think about much of the time) that it wouldn't be too annoying in PBW format.
Terra Prime is generally for 3-5 players, but there is an official 2 player variant in the rules - everything is the same except for setup - smaller board, only 1 of each Tech Upgrade is available, and a couple Reward tiles are removed at random.
I'm obviously biased since I made the game, but I think Terra Prime is a great game with a great theme, and I think part of the reason it's not as popular as it could be is because it hasn't gotten a lot of visibility. Maybe with an online implementation more people would get a chance to play this great game!

Another suggestion but I am not sure if it is too complex to be implemented.
At least the game variant for beginners would not be too complex.

With a new version getting reprinted by Valley Games, this may be a good time to get their approval to implement this.

This would lend itself very nicely to an e-mail play. The only thing that would drag play a bit would be the artifact auction. Even so, it would be a fine match.

Actually, a number of the Ragnar Bros. games would make good choices. Besides Canal Mania, I could recommend Kings & Castles, or Viking Fury/Fire & Axe.

This plays good with 2 and it allows up to 4 players to play. Nice game, would probably fit well at yucata.

There is also three other titles: Africa, Asia, and Europe (and now Americas). They are all played the same, but with some transportation differences. They are addictive, quick games (about 30 minutes when played live) and has been enjoyed by everyone, of all ages, I have introduced it to. You can even learn some geography while playing.

Great game, quite complex but not in it's components! Just placing cubes on a map! This would be a great complex game on yucata!

Trotz jeder Menge Schiessereien, man könnte ja Mal ne Ausnahme machen.
Hat das schon jemand zu zweit gespielt?

A fun game that handles 2-4 players. There are some "out of turn" actions required when protecting against pirate raids, but I don't think that would bog down the game at all. This would be a good addition for Yucata in my opinion.
