Comments: Ordered Nov 8th 2010 Received Dec 8th 2010 I really can't say enough good things about this game. It plays in about the same amount of time with 7 as it does with 3. With a couple of new players in the mix you'll play about an hour and with seasoned players, about 30-45 minutes. 7 Wonders is definitely a "gateway" game. It's light, that is, not overly thinky; chess it is not! However, there are plenty of agonizing decisions to make and plenty of ways to screw up your own plans as well as those plans of the people playing to your left and your right. New players may need some help on their first game; there are a lot of details to go through but after one game, I've yet to see even non-gamers not "get it". It might feel a bit overwhelming the first time but the second and third time, you'll get it. Kids seem to like it too (great family game) with younger ones teaming up with an adult to make those fun decisions to deny dad those cards he really needs! 🙂

Comments: This was the game I cut my early gaming teeth on. I loved it and played it to death. Nostalgia keeps its rating high for me but I don't reach for it like I used to. Once exposed to a larger smorgasbord of games, Acquire feels a bit dated. I'm not fond of the memory element of trying to remember who is buying which stock. That said however, I wouldn't turn it down if that's what a group wanted to play.

Comments: I don't dislike this game but I do have a couple of issues with it. If you're late in the turn order at the beginning, you can quickly find yourself in a heap of hurt depending on what villages you need to complete. Regardless I like the variable turn order (El Grande), the hidden 'route' card (Ticket to Ride), the exploration theme (Tikal), and the set collection mechanics (Tikal)...especially when it's wrapped up with nice bits.

Comments: Received in the CABS Math Trade Dec 17th, 2009 The Bottle Imp is a great game to close out the night or to play casually with friend who are familiar with trick taking games. It may take a bit for those unfamiliar with the game to fully "grok" the changing numeric trump. That tends to shock people's worlds a little bit but we've found that once it clicks, people really get into playing. We tend to now count points, instead just playing to not be stuck with the bottle playing as many hands as people want to play.

Comments: Was waiting on the reprint but gave up. Bought a lightly used RGG copy on Mar 7 2010. Great game of tense card play. The rules may seem a bit opaque at first but it plays like a gateway game. Can suffer from some analysis paralysis for some though. I like the game of chicken trying to establish the bonus conditions *before* building your building but knowing that you may be telegraphing your position too strongly causing someone to trash your hopes with a park, factory, or well timed streetcar placement that bisecs your properties. Good game. It says a lot for the design if I can play oh so horribly but still want to play again.

As it turns out, my copy was never played and it sat for almost 2 years on my shelf. I pulled it out about 6 months ago and it's been a big hit with my family. My kids really like the trading part and it's turned into something I enjoy.

Comments: Ordered from Game Surplus Nov 16, 2011 I really like the roll and allocate dice mechanic. Plays well with 2 but shines with 3 or 4, imo. I enjoy that there are several different paths to victory and that experienced players can play other than "starter" boards to keep it interesting while simultaneously providing a new player with a simpler experience. Runs a bit long if you have some A.P. prone players. I printed off the expansion boards but have yet to play with them. I'm interested in giving those a shot.

Comments: I greatly enjoy this game. The multi-phased turn keeps everyone playing with little down time. Each game plays quite a bit differently since the order of the optional buildings and the timing of the quarry and the lawyer drastically affect the flow of the game. Less players seems to drive the provost out in front of the bailiff more often than with more players which shortens the game and gives it a less of a 'take that' feel. I've had games where delivering batches to the castle was very important and I've had others where building buildings was the path to victory. Great game that I'd play over Puerto Rico in a heartbeat. Recently pulled this out and you know...I don't think it gets much better than this. I sincerely love this game.

Comments: Purchased new Sept 18, 2008 Played with 5. Whoa...a lot going on in this game. Good stuff but watch playing it with players that like to think a lot about their turn. Down time can be a bit of a factor. I loved every minute of the game but it did eat a big chunk out of my game day. I not fond of games with very few victory points available which usually means every point counts. Translation: as the game comes to a close it crawls to a halt while every player tries to maximize every single move, counting and recounting players positions, money, population counts, voice of the people probabilities, adjusting for new political cards being exposed, etc.

Okay to play with kids before bed or to carry in your backpack to play while you're waiting for the bus or something but definitely not a sit down and focus or heady game.

Comments: Received via BGG Trade 09/17/07 Chaotic romp but still fun. Since it's difficult to plan ahead, plays best with a lower number of players. Each turn is an exercise in maximizing position for your payout. There exists some strategic moves but in general, Dos Rios is a game of tactics. There is a level of direct confrontation when choosing to kick an opponents meeples back to the city so the take that level can be pretty intense at times. We've run into king maker endings a few times so that's somewhat troubling but it still sees the table so we're still having fun with it.

Comments: One of my favorites. I like the "gotta play downstream" aspect and the "feed your people" worker placement mechanic. A couple of the Sphinx cards seem pretty powerful if you get them early (e.g. Keep two cards) but overall I like the game a lot, even with only two players. The rules are straightforward enough that I rarely have to check the rules after only a few plays spread out over two years. Something about the mechanics & theme just seem to work well enough to make it all stick and hang well together in a fun package without being overly complex for new players.

Comments: Picked up a copy at Buckeye Game Fest 2009 Whoa...what to say. I love the fixed 7 rounds that start slow and build along with the tension on what to do. It teaches easily since the first round is so short and sweet. I love the look in their eyes about how can this be good...it's silly. Then by round 2 or 3 it's clicking...rut roh...this is good. The random set up keeps it fresh. My only complains are setup time and counting points at the end is a bit of a pain but if I have to resort to complaining about that, it's that good.

The goods market feels a bit overpowered and static but I really can't complain about anything after only one play. Nice production quality although many of the wooden bits were stuck together as if they were packed while the pain had not fully cured. I wish there were some 2-player variants but love the game.

My rating, I think, will increase with more players that will provide a higher level of interaction and contention for water and markets. ---- Nov 10, 2008 ---- Played a 3 player game between my wife and my 12 year old son. Fun stuff. Made it more fun that I eked out a 3 point win over my wife in a grudge match from the last time we played 🙂 Although I've only played a few times, it does feel like it might become a little mechanical. I can understand why there are so many maps available to keep the interest up.

Comments: Received as a Secret Santa gift 2008 After a couple of solo plays I managed to get Hamburgum to the table on May 5, 2009 (!) I was hoping for a bit deeper play than what it turned out being but maybe the depth is subtle and comes through only after a few plays. I greatly enjoyed the quick play, relatively little down time, and with three we were done very quickly. For a game with zero randomness it was not overly heady. The Rondel is great, of course, but it didn't quite hold the tension I'd hoped. I thought there'd be a bit more "should I race around quickly" or "do I have time to stop a few times on the way". I'm looking forward to many more plays and rank it highly even after just one [real] play.

Comments: Physical board smaller than expected. Bits are low to medium quality. My board is warped and doesn't lay flat. Artwork overly cartoony. But all of that is easily forgiven because the game is just so darned good. I like the programming aspect and trying to outguess your opponents moves when coming in contact with them in villages. At first it's easy to get your programming messed up just by mistake so allow a little extra time for new players to get the zen of it. End game scoring is really funky. Very difficult to explain to someone who hasn't played the game before.

Negotiation games are not normally my thing but the chaos factor of the free for all and the ability to sit out and jump in to spoil the deal even if you don't think you'll make anything on it is pure genius. You've got to be in the right mood for this one. Getting repeatedly chopped out of deals and being short on cards can make for a very long game indeed.

Done get discouraged by slow play your first few games. I bought it specifically for my wife and I to play since she loves the 2-player variant of San Juan. I am not disappointed in the slightest. Great little game for two. My 9 and 11 year like it as well. Oct 15, 2008 - I've grown tired of the game. Replay value dropped quickly. Play seems mechanical and uninteresting.

Have yet to play a real game but I can't stop thinking about how I'm going to approach it when I do. I can't wait to play. New players will suffer a bit from understanding the importance of good cottage placement but with some coaching they'll see what's up pretty quickly. Law cards are powerful but they don't feel like they represent all one drives for. Great resource engine to victory points game that places pretty quickly. The rules are relatively straightforward but feel a bit awkward to explain. One round of sample play makes everything very clear.

Comments: Samurai + Mission: Red Planet An area influence game where players move and/or place various shaped pieces on a map in order to exert influence points in a region that will eventually score. Each player possesses an identical set of cards that are played one at a time and indicate what action the player can take on his turn. When a specific card is played scoring in a region occurs and everybody gets their cards back. Only the next two regions to score are known at any time. I like it but I hate it. I don't play well and I find it frustrating. But I do find it intriguing because it does scratch some itch for this type of game. I continually make the same mistake or at least find myself in the same situation in these kinds of games where I'm fighting too many battles with too many different people. You just don't have enough bits on the board to maintain dominance. I usually end up losing both territories (or worse) because I'm spread too thin. Kreta doesn't find its way to the table very often but I find myself hesitant to trade it. See my review at http://www.marquand.net/article.php?story=20061001151044943

The plastic chips are extremely lame compared to the high production quality of the tiles. I suggest substituting some clay poker chips. Have played numerous times with my extended family and they love it! It's not a gamers game but it is a fun poker/tichu/euchre romp that can get aunt Matilda swearing and your cousin Phil ready to punch you in the mouth. Good stuff!

Comments: The cards are smaller than I was expecting and I really don't like the card-tuck style box. The artwork is nice on the merchant ships and the pirate ships but I'm a little put off by the very cartoonish pirate captains and the admiral. My wife said if she'd seen the box in the store she never would have bought it thinking it a young child's game. However, the Mensa and Dr. Toy award stickers did catch her eye and she looked at it long enough to recognize the Knizia name. The game is a light filler and plays very quickly. I've played 3 and 4 person games and it feels about the same heaviness as 6-Nimmt...maybe slightly heavier.

Comments: Fun light, dice-driven card game of starting with a couple of building cards and rolling one, then potentially two dice to activate the buildings you've built (which grant money for you from the bank and other players). Some buildings earn you points on other players turns when they roll specific numbers or provide multipliers when rolled in conjunction with other owned cards. Might feel really same-y after a few plays but great for that wind down time at a con when it's 2am and you just don't want to go to bed yet! 🙂 I own a PnP copy using my own design 2013

Comments: Christmas 2005 gift. Excellent turn angst. Great bits. I really like trying to predict what your opponents will do so that you can handle the change in the layout of houses and role cards without giving everyone gold because you had to renounce part of an action. The movement of the governor on the track and the snatching of role cards makes for some fantastic brain action. Excellent game.

Comments: Played only with 5 and, although fun, it seemed there were often little contention for the sweet spots. Being right before the Harbor Master seems to be an ugly place to be indeed. If you can't be HB, try to be right in front of him/her. With 5 the boats fill up fast. It still feels to be that being a pirate is too expensive for the risk with 5.

I recommend playing both sides of the scenario to really determine the winner but we rarely have the time to do that. It's still fun regardless.

It does take a lot out of me to play but I'm unsure if there's enough "fun" ROI for that effort as I find in other games. Mechanically, the game is really well designed. Everything is tight and there are strategic and tactical decisions that must be made on every turn. Some of the components could use an upgrade (e.g start player token, prey, and score markers) but the ants are great! I like it but it borders on work. Trade interest medium to low.

We did modify the tiles somewhat by writing the numbers on the back using a red Sharpie Pen so that we could tell the difference between tiles that are 'fixed' and those placed while trying to solve the puzzle. The travel game is handy for long trips.

The magnetism angle is very unique and fun to play with but wow is it sensitive to table jiggling and in my 1920's house a kid running through throught the room jiggled the floor enough to trigger faults. Still, it is fun game that I would recommend to others. My copy is the version in the canvas "tube"

Love the struggle of both trying to erect buildings near your own for end game scoring yet also in areas that entice other players to help you complete them. Choose your building locations wisely, workers can be hard to come by if you get low. Pay close attention to how the cubes cascade from one region to the next. Lots of good decisions to make.

That's of course true in a lot of games but it seems to matter more in Ra. It's a fast moving game and you do feel involved in the flow since your turn lasts such a short amount of time. If your opponents don't go into brain lock as to whether to call Ra or pull a tile, then you'll have fun. Otherwise... yuck.

Most games don't seem to hinge on the very first play but it's next to impossible to catch someone who has been allowed to capitalize on the first move. Not sure I like that when trying to introduce the game to others. However, for experienced players, whoa.... great game.

The downtime is painful but I've only ever played with 2 or 4. Maybe with 3 it would really shine for me. Don't even attempt it if you're tired...wait until you're ready for a killer experience.

It's got just enough depth, and play time to not feel like you've wasted a whole night in a losing battle. You can sometimes see who is probably going to win by the mid-game but depending on strategy others *may* pull it out at the end. All in all, a great game with a great rule book.

We were shifting cards from the first to the second row and cards in the second row to the discard pile every phase rather than every round. Makes for a very weird experience. The second time was better but the end game seems pretty anticlimactic. Playing through the last trader phase seems like it would only make a difference if you can upgrade some of your duplicate orange/red cards. Does that happen much? The jury is still out and I need to play with more than just two.

Comments: Received Nov 20, 2012 Played twice at GLG Nov, 2012. Rules are pretty straightforward and the theme integrates well into the game actions. My first game was a learning game out of the box and I taught 4 new players the game the following night with no problems so that says something about the ease with which you can pick it up. It was the only game I played twice during the convention and turned into a must buy for me. After 6 plays: It does start to feel a bit repetitive. The first few turns are very scripted and with a lot of rainy and/or foggy days early in the game, it moves very slowly since excavating rates are poor. I still like it but I'm finding myself looking to other games to scratch my worker placement itch.

Comments: Ordered Nov 8th 2010 Why in the heck do I suck so badly at this game! 🙂 Played several times with 3, 4, and 5 and prefer 3 or 4. I always feel screwed by the player to my left. Feels like they always just go behind me wherever I place my meeple. Don't get the zen of the game yet or something. Don't ignore those firemen. You can afford to lose once or twice in the early rounds but playing catch up is very hard. Money can be very tight.

Comments: Arrived Nov 10, 2008 Played with 6 Great game with all open information. I'm usually not a fan of auction games but the Tree Frog line is really growing on me. I like that the auction is won with cubes and the number of cubes determine what you're capable of accomplishing in the round. The adjustment of turn order is very clever but the end game cube grab seemed little odd. More plays will help me determine if the disconnect is significant enough for me to adjust my rating. Right now...I'm liking what I'm seeing.

Comments: Received July 2008 Fast paced romp with multiple paths to victory. You can block the hell out of other players options during worker placement. Includes dice as a randomizer accomplishing the same need as that found in Thebes. As you do with knowledge when digging in Thebes, you work to increase your chances of success but putting more cavemen in an area and then roll the number of dice equal to the number of committed workers. Also, collecting and using "tools" can alleviate some of the pain of a bad rolls as they allow you to adjust the roll of the dice. Easy to learn (only three simple steps on each turn). Took a bit for some of the guys in my group to catch onto the iconography but in general it's pretty consistent and straightforward. Had to cut slots into the insert to lower the individual player boards which allows the box to close properly.

I will have trouble getting it to the table but I have that problem with many of the games I buy given I have three active buyers in my small gaming group. Purchased from an attendee at the Great Lakes Games Con in November 2009. It's in amazing condition. Even the wipe away pens still work.

Comments: Nice game. Looks great when finish. I enjoy the 'take that' aspects of crushing out other players settlements. Crushing out your own can be advantageous as well to open up opportunities for placing more towers and temples. Plays well with 2, 3, or 4 but it is a different game with 2. The game always ends when someone builds all of 2 of their components. I like the game most with 3 or 4. Not a heavy game but it is thinkier than it might first appear. Not Carcassonne-ish or Java-esque in any way.

Comments: A natural 'expansion' to the base game that comes with a new board and new cards. Minor rules adjustments as well. Instead of the coach cards you instead are allowed to 'discard' cards as horses that pull your coach. You cashed in route is limited each time by the number of horses pulling your coach. Solid play like the base game, easy to learn, quick to play. Low interaction.

Comments: I find the tension in the game excellent. The rules favor agressive play which makes it even more interesting. I prefer the artwork of the original Mayfair edition over the reprint. One of the few games that plays well across the entire spectrum of recommended players. The rules are little hard to grasp for new to moderate gamers. New players seem to have trouble remembering that they're not playing a color but instead a figure/dynasty-image. I've never had a problem determine internal from external conflict but that seems to be a tricky point with new players. Maybe it's the difference with how the payouts occur. Many, many paths to victory. Rarely is there not something advantageous to do on your turn.

Comments: Received Feb 1, 2007 Only played a few times. Rules seem a little weak in spots. I enjoy the game but your turn ends up being mostly an exercise in optimizing chaos. Very little you can do to plan between turns. On your turn you evaluate the board, look at your cards, make a play, and take your lumps. Feels like something that would be funner against AI on a computer. At least you wouldn't have to wait so long between turns and it would keep the tiles in their correct positions in the ever expanding board.

Easy to teach but fun to watch others (and yourself!) get stuck with the highest tide card in situations you didn't anticipate. The more people I introduce this to, the more I've come to realize just how good this little game is. Being able to try your hand (pun intended) at all the hands is brilliant. I've only met one person who didn't like it out of the dozen or so I've introduced it to.

The randomness feels so dominant that there is little you can do to combat it. Don't get me wrong, there is a game there but nothing pulling me to play it over other title. I do like the horses though. Nice production quality. Prefer Long Shot - Up for trade. Box dent on one corner - came that way

Comments: Great trick taking game. Simple rules. Fast play. Plenty of the same 'arg!' factor found in other games like Rage! when you miss your bid. Unlike Rage you don't get any points for taking tricks when you miss your bid which feels a overly painful and overly rewarding the ones who do. The number of rounds composing a complete game seems a little large for this kind of game and we rarely play an entire game.
