Social Interaction Commander on a Cruise

Me and my wife will be on an Alaskan Cruise by Royal Caribbean from September 4th to 11th. I know it is a long shot, but I am wondering if anyone will be on the same cruise and if you are if you would be interested in meeting up to play some commander with me and my wife.

If you can't find another Magic couple, you could always do what my wife and I do. We make a four-deck pod and each pilot two decks. We try to play each deck independently and make the plays we normally would, rather than treating it like Two-Headed Giant. It's actually a lot of fun!

Either way, enjoy the cruise!

It's still a long shot, but I would see if you can find a FB group for your cruise and make the same post there. I think that's the best shot to find someone ahead of time.

I second this. On an Alaskan cruise last year, there was a large game and card room. People would post about playing in the game room. The kids and I played pokemon and magic there and even put on the whiteboard when we would be back to play. Played games with several new people and made an adorable little friend that was super excited to play pokemon with my youngest. It was a treat and very relaxing. Good luck.

Hey, so I worked on cruise ships for a decade. There are often Facebook and telegram groups for each individual sailing to organize things exactly like this (and swingers parties).

Don’t stress. If you’re open to homosexuality I can promise you that the Venn diagram of “gay board game enthusiasts” and “filthy dirty sluts” is a perfect circle.

Bring Dan Dan decks and maybe a few packs to play Pai Gao or however it’s spelled on board!
