Puerto Rico is not my #1 game.
Walking by my game shelf I can feel the indignant eyes of the Puerto Rico guy, following me.

I don't even own it. Nor have I ever played it. In fact, it. . . just doesn't seem that interesting to me.

Is there a term for a poser-geek?

I can't help it. I'm addicted to theme.

What have the Germans got against giant robots?

Maybe some day, I'll play this and suddenly see the light.

If a game is not made to be played with two players out of the box it usually won't get purchased.

My son and I have also played this variant several times and find it very compelling as a two player game. I was surprised. I love PR, but never thought of it as a two player game. My mistake.

Reiner Knizia is not my top game designer. In unguarded moments I blurt out, Tourette's-like, "Some of his games are a little dry!" and cover my face in shame and retreat into the shadows.

You have 3 of his games rated at 10, nobody else comes close. Strange for someone that doesn't consider Knizia his favorite.

I have never played Caylus so, the explanation might be WAY off base but here's an exchange I had with my girlfriend the other day:

Me: There's a new game called Caylus that is getting a lot of buzz.
Her: Really? What's it about?
Me: I think it's got a little bit of Puerto Rico in it but, instead of selecting a role and getting it's privilege, you buy buildings and people pay you to use their privileges.
Her: Oh! Just like Monopoly!

You can ease a monopoly player's transition to Caylus by speaking "Chance" and "Community Chest" language.

"Bailiff movement in your favor. Score the castle now."
"From sale of stone, collect 2 deniers."
"Move the provost back 3 spaces."
"Take a ride in the joust field. If you pass over a denier and a cloth, collect 1 favor."
"You are assessed for castle repairs. 1 food + 2 of other goods."
"Stop! Your token goes directly to 'jail'. Do not pass the provost. Do not take action on that building."
"You have won second prize at the stables. You are now the second player."
"Gate: Advance token to nearest "utility". If unowned, you may use it without paying a VP."

I am of the belief that there is no excuse for bad graphic design. I also passed on the game due to the look of the board. I mean, think about it...if you have a great game with great mechanics, but you make a land mass that looks like an Op-artist puked on it, why would you expect people to get excited? Unless it's a DESERT, land should be green and water should be blue. At least they got it half right.

Extending to the top 100, only 26 of them have I played, and I own only three (four if you count Bridge, which I suppose pretty much everyone could be said to "own").

The ONLY thing Go has going for it is that it is supposedly an easy to learn Asian game and therefore has mystique props. Its not easy. Its rules are overly complicated. You can't play mystique. Chess is *such* a better game with an end condition that makes sense. Or, if you really like black and white stones Othello or Reversi works just as well.

And if you want something that is better balanced there is always Hex.

Go is indeed a difficult game, but after you've played for a while the end condition will make sense: pass when playing a move will reduce your score. As chess often ends in a draw I can't agree that its end conditons are better than those of go, which always has a winner. But chess is a good game too.

Wait, what? In Go, to account for first-move bias, you add about 6.5 points to the white player's score at the end of the game. Hex is a first player win without side-swapping rules...

I completely agree !
This was the reason that convinced me to buy it in the first place. A great idea and a great mechanism ... wasted in a terminally random game where your strategy and choices make no difference at all! By the way, I play it every now and then, almost as a relaxing pastime

To be honest, I don't see why Fluxx gets so much hatred. I mean, yes, it's a pretty mindless card game, but as mindless card games go, it's not bad (much better than Guillotine, for example, which seems to be far more popular amongst BGGers). The only serious strike against it is that the game length is so variable.

I like the chaos, but the people who say it's barely a game have a point. Playing this is as much about seeing what happens as actually trying to win. It isn't good for people who take winning too seriously.

Then there are those who are OK with fast, light games, but start having a problem when the game goes on too long. Again, I think that is more likely to happen when people are playing too seriously.

In a former life I played *more than one* collectible card game. I bought *boxes* of cards. Once I even paid $40 for just four MtG Masticore cards on ebay.

At one point in time I played this like mad. Had MANY big time cards and finally got fed up with the you need this card, this card is banned and people kept getting frustrated with each other. I sold all my cards for at least 20 x what I paid for them and am all the happier for it.

With spending money on decks I played a whole bunch of people with a COMMON deck made of cards people would gladly give you and WON 8-10 times. It is all in how you play not what you PAY.

Fast forward many years and my group started playing magic again with ALTERNATE rules. 1 GIANT deck EVERYONE plays from. The game plays very well this way and NO whining about who has the most $$$ on cards.

and now for my MtG anecodte!

Friend of mine has been a dedicated rolegamer from way back when, he slips into minis and card games occasioanly (hell, his company even makes a few; check out gomi designs ifn intrested) but is in essence a rolegamer. He used to be pretty big on the whole gameing con organising thing and was there for the start of the proliferation of the card gamers into the various cons around the country.

Anyhum at one con he fianlly lost it after some (possibly entirelly imagined) slight from a cardgamer about rolegame(r)s being dull and over complicated when compared to card game(r)s. At the end of the event there was to be an auction for charity; signed games, limited editions etc and one especially spiffy magic card (no I dont know what it was, call it the sacred black lotus ifn you want) this card was the reason a lot of the card gamers were at this con and the rolegamers were annoyed about this alone ifn nothing else.

So my friend during the con (indeed he actually left his game to do this, an unheard of event!) quietly goes around the whole rolegamers fraternity and asks for donations, several tense hours of counting and a couple of buckets of coins later and the auction begins, the hall is split almost entirelly down the middle; card gamers on one side real (yes I say real!) gamers on the other the auction carries on and lots of money is made for good causes.

The final item is the card, bidding is brisk starting very fast and spiralling rapidly upwards £25, £50, £75, £100 and it slows here, the hammer is finally comeing down I think at around £117 odd; going once... going twice... at which point my friend stands up and in a clear but soft voice says: "Three hundred and fourteen pounds seventy nine pence 3 french francs and a packet of polos" after which he dosent even pause just comes to the front with the buckets of money puts them on the front of the stage, climbs up onto it and takes the card from the auctioner's hand.

At this point you could have heard a pin drop; the card gamer side of the hall is dumbfounded jaws gapeing, the real gamer side is sniggering behind their hands, my freind takes one of the buckets out of the metal waste paper basket it was in and with the card in one hand and his zippo in the other, lights the card and drops it in to the empty waste paper basket, then walks of stage to the ensueing whooping and accolade from his side of the hall and the wailing and curseing of the other. He didn't do another con in an organisational role again after that

sorry ifn that ran on a bit longer than I intended

but it's a good true story

LOL! Guilty as charged your honour.

On a weekend away with 6 people (non gamers) I packed a copy of TTR (hey, you never know?), first night after dinner there was talk of playing a game, the M word was being used a lot, I sat in horror. The night was saved when I plucked out TTR, it went down a storm and next morning at breakfast everyone says they want to play 'the train game again'.

Three weeks later we invite one of the couples to our place for dinner and a game. My wife and I decide we should give Puerto Rico a go. It went down well enough (too much wine at dinner didn't help!), but when we talk about doing it again, you guessed it, they'd rather play 'the train game'.

How many times have you played Goa and Power Grid? You can always buy the new maps for Power Grid. In fact, you can integrate Settlers with both those games. The settlements in Settlers and the houses Power Grid are even the same shape. Just think what you can do when you convert a Power Grid house to a city... double production!

Try playing some of the "Das Buch" variant rules. No need ot shell out money for the expansion (although I did), you can just download the alternate rules off the Geek and improvise the bits you need. One of the best variant rules, Settlers of Atlantis, can be played with just a supply of counters (to mark how close each hex is to sinking). You could use glass beads, pennies, chopped-off fingertips, anything.

Don't knock Hi Ho Cherri-o man.
For a kid's game, especially toddler age, it is an essential library game. Very few games teach elementary counting as well as Hi Ho.

It comes highly recommended by most 4-6 year olds I know.

Don't knock the beginnings of gaming.

My son really loved his copy of Sesame street chutes and ladders, especially the pieces that were some of his favorite characters. I've actually never played the game so we were learning together. He learned to use to spinner and has a new found fascination with dice. He will be a gamer yet!

An den Ufern des Nils has a red cylinder to track the starting player, and they call it a "hippo" marker. Ever since the first playing, it has been my quest to find the perfect hippo figure to use instead of the cylinder. I presently have 6 hippos in the box, and now we debate which damn one to use before we play. Each of us has a different favorite.

Unfortunatley, I have to confess that I spend more time reading about games and imagining how fun they are than actually playing them. soblue

What do you think BGG is? It's a support group for gamers who rarely get to play games. Myself included. Many a night I spend re-reading a game manual, fondling remember my days before career/family, when I had time to pursue my hobbies... cry

This one is me for sure. I bet I average 2 hours reading, analyzing and studying for every hour I actually spend playing a game! (For some games make that 10 hours). I guess that's why they call us geeks.

I think people who play Warhammer have FAR too much time on their hands. Does that make me a bad person, or do I just have a life?

A perpetual question for me is why some many miniatures wargamers turn there noses up at boardgames that take 2-3 hours?
