#22 on the list - Detroit-Cleveland Grand Prix
DCGP was actually a gift/prize of sorts. A while back, I was at a game day with friends and our host, who has all sorts of games, offered this game up as a prize to whoever won whatever game we were playing at the time. As that game went, I tied for first with another player - who won on tiebreakers. He offered the game to me, saying that it wasn't his style of game. I remembered playing Le Mans as a kid with my dad and thought if I had a son or daughter (at the time Derek was a twinkle in my eye) that a race game would be good to have, so I graciously accepted.
I was able to learn the game with my dad a few weeks later. I had no idea that DCGP was as much an economic game as it was a racing game. I don't get to play it very often (yet) since Jen didn't really seem to take too well to it's brother game Daytona 500. She liked it ok, but she's not chomping at the bit to try it again. I actually think both games are great with two players because you can't focus solely on one car winning. I also love the auction aspect of it - being that money is the winning factor, not race placement.
I have it rated as a 7.7 out of 10 currently. But it's been a while since I've been able to play it.
Final Thoughts
I was lucky enough to buy Daytona 500 from a garage sale in State College through a proxy-buyer. Aside from the price of the game (which I think was $40) all it cost me was a draft beer. Sure beat the gas price of driving up myself.
