Nov. 26 - 26th rank. Not sure why, but the header of this geek list still shows 32 (I'm sure someone will say I should clear my cache).

And Nov. 27, down to 27th. With this trend, Dec 1 looks like a good day.

Yes, the geeklist rank is often out of date.

Hmmm, and an awfully satisfied look on his face as well....

Preston,

Wait until you find out you can keep a sheep in your house.

Will go up as it continues to see more availability in the US. Wonder if it will be untimately hampered by the fact that it's 3 to 4 players only?

Definitely, I can't stop playing this game. That said, I do have an eye for when Agricola will be released in English.

Great to see Brass has broken the top 100 this week (08/01/08).

Technically this game was published and released before Essen, at least in the US.

Well, here's my heavily biased and probably overly American perspective.

Trading goods in Italy? Planting beans? Constructing yet another cathedral? Whatever. Maybe these aren't the most exciting themes, but I've got no existing connection at all to them. Before playing Bohnanza I never would have contemplated bean planting, at all.

1960 though...1960. That's a year in history. That's not a title that makes me think of anything interesting. That's not even a title that makes me think 'politics'. That's a title that immediately brings to mind long hours spent bored out of mind in High School history classes; classes that invariable made the most exciting events in our history seem about as straining beans. But less tasty. 1960 gets a strong pre-existing response out of me, and its not one.

Further, most of these assorted Euro games have paper thin themes anyway. Who cares if the theme is dull when its just a nice wrapper around a fascinating abstract challenge? But here, the newspaper clipping on the cards, the title - it looks like its supposed to be chalk full of theme. Really boring theme.

Finally, for me, since I almost always play games with Lisa, if a game looks dull, we may still give it a try with a group; but with a 2 player, we need to buy it to try it ourselves, which just isn't going to happen with a dull looking game.

Yet die macher, 1960 and pimp are all pretty good games whose theme is more tied to the mechanics than a lot of other games.

Hey, I dont need to twist anyone's arm to play this fantastic *game* it's their loss! Right now, and long into the future there will be more than enough players for this one because the game mechanics themselves are so well-done. If you don't want to play it for whatever reason, don't play it.

But if you must come here and whine about how you can't bring yourself to play it, well then wah wah wah your troubles touch my very heart and make me weep in communion with your woes.

Knowing you Flo I think you'd be up for some kind of hybrid "Pimp of 1960" game.

Galaxy Trucker is now 56, after year and 5 days. Maybe in next five days it will go up to 50.

I think the expansion helped, it's a great expansion for an even better game.

This is truly an underloved game.
It will likely go the way of Factory Fun, when it's gone, everyone will miss it.

Today Galaxy Trucker is 50.

A bit too negative of a game for my taste.

Everyone in my area just loves this one - can't get enough!

The very small print run of this game will, of course, hurt its ultimate ranking.

However, having now played it, it gets from me.

Early ratings suggests that this is the best game in the gipf project.
Will it overtake Yinsh?

For me is better than Yinsh. With Dvonn is the best game for me of Gipf Project Series.

DVONN is my favorite as well. Although ZERTZ is a close second. Can't wait to try this one!

This is my favorite game from Essen this year. Also my favorite of the GIPF series (DVONN is close behind though).

It is my favorite of the Gipf games as well.

Played this yesterday. Interesting game, pity we misread one of the law cards (a misunderstanding which lead to a 1 coin=1 VP mechanism, which really ruined the game balance.

Played it several times already. Nice game, great graphical design, simple but involving.

But even with your huge lead I still won Philip !!! ... probably due to my mastery of all the vp-making threads (or maybe it was luck ... not sure )

Would be better if it were about Dingburg.

Uh?

Sorry, I knew that was too obscure. It was a bad joke about theming and Kingsburg/Dingburg and Zippy the Pinhead.

This game would get more ratings (and therefore higher ranking) if they had coordinated US shipping with Essen. Waiting an extra six weeks after Essen for US early purchasers to receive their copy will hurt the hype wagon in a big way.

I love this game! You have to be a good gamer to play it though... this is not for amateurs...
