Great game, but compared to most of the others listed here it is not really a simple game.

I love this game. It is not as complex as the rules may make it appear, though it is more complex than say Hammer of the Scots.

My current favourite game. Comes with some short scenarios (although check out the dicussion on the Crusader scenario in the BGG RitD page) so is playable in about 1.5 to 2 hours, unlike EastFront.

A current favorite. This gets lost in the "block game" shuffle, I'm afraid.

I need to open this one. I've had it for awhile and would love to get a 3 player one going.

My husband and I began with this game. It can be a multi-player which is a plus. The way for Napoleon win is by having me play the English. I'm getting better though and it was a close game. My English forces abandon the Prussians. It's a fun game.

The games I have played have been fairly balanced. The French have to concentrate to win, however.

This is really a nice game, though one of the more complex block games. Consequently I am not able to find anyone to play it with.

Hey, I'll play this game! (Just come to Dallas.) This is my current favorite.

This is a superb game, but it usually takes us an entire afternoon to play. I had to play this a couple of times just to get a good feel for the HQs and the railway lines.

This one has been tempting me for a long time. I think I could get someone to try it because of the theme of the game. Again short and simple (I hope..)
