Among my friends, it's one of the games we play most often because it's simple, easy to teach and turns go quickly. Power Grid is definitely one of my all time favorites. While I don't like wine, I do love Viticulture. It is competitive while somehow still feeling relaxing. James Stegmeier really is a great designer and a nice guy. I have played Viticulture and Euphoria with him and different Gen cons over the year and had a great time with each. I have never played Glory to Rome, but have always wanted to. I do enjoy the designer's follow up game - Innovation. For anyone who has played both, any thoughts on which game is more enjoyable? well, innovation ranked quite low on this list, and if you look at GTR, it also ranked very low the first few times i played it! i'm very interested in playing innovation more to see if it will rise, though i'm a little unsure about adding a big question mark with a skill curve to my collection. GTR doesn't have a "take that" mechanic like innovation does and it's better at 3+ than at 2. NBIceman posted... And there's my #1 down. Lame pick but it's popular for a reason! what else ranks highly for you? banananor posted... scythe is a very demanding game i think it has the least intuitive control scheme out of any board game i've played. when i have any new or fairly casual players, this one needs to stay in the box because they're going to be frustrated and walloped. i imagine it's pretty good if you have a group that regularly improves at it. i've played it maybe 5 times and i still don't think i have a deeper sense of what i'm doing and why i win or lose compared to the other players' engines fair - in the times i've played it, i've concentrated so much on my own efficiency that i haven't concerned myself too much with others'. deciding the order in which to upgrade/enlist has been my big question mark usually, or how fast to rush the factory. i wouldn't call it particularly demanding though, among middleweight euros th3l3fty posted... I played Scythe once and hated basically everything about it what specifically? i had a negative first experience too, but admittedly some of that was being really bad at it. --- 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:934318086] in another ye...
