I've only played it a few times but the most recent play was with the Journeyman expansion which lets you use a pawn to explore your kingdom which I thought was a nice addition. isle of skye is short enough that i'd be worried about adding a mechanic like that! Naye745 posted... i really dig the variable scoring system in isle of skye the tile laying and even bidding stuff work well but don't seem particularly groundbreaking but the scoring options? good stuff like an anti-seasons, i feel like all the parts of IOS come together well! cyko posted... I haven't played Isle of Skye yet, but I do enjoy Castles of Mad King Ludwig - which Isle of Skye seems somewhat similar to. Has anyone played both enough to offer a comparison? only played MKL once. the castle-building there is definitely more fun than IOS's, but IOS's market mechanic is probably a bit better? would take replays to discern Maniac64 posted... My wife isnt super into tabletops. It's very hard to find games for us as she isnt very competitive and doesnt like deception games. And neither of us like co-op games that are super challenging to win. takenoko can be very relaxing, hope it goes well! Naye745 posted... seasons is okay. i've enjoyed playing it online but i think your quote "less than the sum of its parts" is a really good summation of seasons and why i find it fairly underwhelming. to be fair, those parts are WAY better physically! the upkeep is slower (increasing downtime as you do arithmetic) but it's much more satisfying IMO --- 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:933433278] in another ye...
