One problem with this game is that the file as provided includes rather crude maps & counters - the counters aren't square, and aren't even all the same size, and the maps are extremely simple & look like initial sketches (barring the hexes). Regardless of PnP skill, if you use the file on BGG, the end result will look crude.

Functional, mind you. Just not pretty. Not so pretty (or witty. Quite bright though*).


* it seems the lyrics of that song changed a bit through the years. The original seems to be "I feel Pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty & witty & gay..."

Just so you know, ASL already has the best re-theme possible, so don't even think about it: Sharks and Jets. Dance-fighting has never had this many rules.

Maybe not what you're looking for, but it certainly has (very famous) gangs...

"Two street gangs both alike in dignity,
In West Manhattan, where we lay our scene,
Do battle for their turf with pirouettes,
Leaping, spinning, fighting the Sharks and Jets.

This is a tactical combat game based on the musical West Side Story. Players control rival street gangs, The Sharks and The Jets, that are represented by individual counters. Gang members attack by snapping their fingers, singing and performing dance moves. They attempt to break the other gang's cool. Each character has a cool and uncool side. Leaders can rally uncool gang members. All combat is resolved on the Choreography Results Table.

I was really tickled by the theme of this game, but unfortunately my craftiness skills are lame and I'm not particularly good at assembling something in an attractive manner.

It remains unplayed.

Lucky me, I get to watch my Jets today. I'm sure they'll lose. Why? Because they suck.

But I'd rather be watching the Jets than watching Aldie teach people how to play Agricol right?

2nd half just started with the Jets up 13-7. There's still plenty of time for them to blow this one. They've blown 3 10 point leads already this year.

2-player uh... sorta wargame? A West-Side-Story based combat game! I just think this theme is soooo cool, but I'm probably the only one I know who thinks that. It's printed out but my printer is so crappy anyway I want to take it to Kinkos and make a nicer copy. It'd be helpful if I knew if anyone wanted to play ...

Doesn't have enough ratings to be ranked on BGG.

SAN JOSE SHARKS
05/06: 99 pts
Rating: 7.0
FINAL SCORE: 693.0

The BGG foretells that San Jose will bring in former Winnipeg players Teemu Selanne, Keith Tkachuk and Alexei Zhamnov, who will rekindle their glory and propel the Sharks to 4th.
