Then it deteriorated into a game of "will we roll 7 or 8???". The expansion makes it playable, but still not my favorite. Ticket to Ride - on the other hand, I love TTR. I have introduced many non-gamers and casual gamers to modern board gaming with TTR. At least 10 people have bought copies after I played it with them. Interesting enough, Africa is pretty much the only expansion I didn't like at all. Restricting certain colors to certain parts of the map made it more frequent and less fun when you couldn't get the right color. haha, it's been a while, but what i actually found in my single play was that there seemed little reason to upgrade to rolling two dice... in the original. in the expansion, rolling multiple seemed wise. Peace___Frog posted... I had a similar experience with Fire Tower. I played it at the first PAX Unplugged with the creators, really enjoyed it, pledged to the kickstarter... and have played it 4 times since? The first three were fun, but the fourth was just kinda dull. Europe is my favorite TTR map, but I'm also very fond of the Nordic Countries map. the creators are great! it's easy to be sold by good people. i'm surprised someone else has played that game! Naye745 posted... i've never actually gotten to play the grizzled but i do appreciate its theme combined with mechanics its a relatively simple co-op game about ww1 that somehow nails the theme and treats it appropriately. that's pretty darn cool to me yeah, the theme is arguably the best part of the grizzled. Great_Paul posted... The Grizzled is my favourite co-op game. I always play with At Your Orders because I like the missions. RIP Tignous interesting! didn't expect to hear this in this topic! how does the expansion change it? Glenn_and_Toad posted... Man, the more I read of this topic, the more good opinions I see, and not just by the op. i am to please --- yet all sailors of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness <cite>SeabassDebeste posted [p:932598458] in another ye...
