I don't have experience in many, many PBM's, but I have played CTF,
Legends, Galactic Prisoners, and Cosmic Crusaders. I enjoyed them all
for different reasons, but my favorites were Galactic Prisoners, and
Cosmic Crusaders. Galactic Prisoners is very rules-lite and has very
simple turn sheets. What I found very enjoyable about the game was the
political machinations and tension between alliances and even within.
I also enjoyed Cosmic Crusaders because it was a simple tactical
situation where you almost needed to team up with another player.
Cosmic Crusaders was also the least costly out of all the games I
played.
