The one I like least, oddly enough, is Epic. I think the "community draw hand" gives you too much flexibility.<BR/><BR/>We need to have a Steve/Mark C&C night & play all four games back to back. (Talk about frying our brains!)<BR/><BR/>FIVE & DIME<BR/><BR/>Nearly 170 folks tabulated & the results keep coming in.

Comments:<BR/><BR/>Race for the Galaxy<BR/><BR/>I really have to play this next game night. I loved Shogun that night but wish I could've played both. I heard there's very little interaction which makes me a little leary of this game. I heard its like Star Wars where the Empire and the Rebels ignore each other.<BR/><BR/>Qwirkle<BR/><BR/>I'm interested in this because I do like the Scrabble posistioning and lack the spelling knowledge.<BR/><BR/>Agricola<BR/><BR/>I really glad you're picking this up. It's definitely a must try for me. I picked up Kingsburg as it was the Essen release that seemed the most like my type of game but this is a close second. So, we'll have to do an Essen release night soon.<BR/><BR/>Commands and Colors<BR/><BR/>Can you believe I've only played Battlelore!? Love the system, the setup time is a small annoyance. I play on Vassal mostly now. The expansions have been a disappointment to me, except Epic. Hopefully, they can turn it around this year with the Heroes.<BR/><BR/>Five and Dime<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your hard work.ironcateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13976645472552078821noreply@blogger.com
