Match 49
7 Wonders
Mafia/Werewolf
7 Wonders is probably my favorite game right now. It’s so much fun, so quick, and easy to play. It gets major points from me for being easier to get to the table than anything else.
Mafia is fun, although I’ve only played it online, and not FtF. Copying what Tables said above, the reward-to-effort ratio is not great. I often walk away from a game promising to never do it again, even if it was fun, just due to the large time commitment.
7 Wonders gets the vote here.
Match 50
Puerto Rico
Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization
Puerto Rico is really fun, and although I’ve only gotten to play it ~5 times, I’ve really enjoyed playing it, especially as everyone I’ve played with has gotten better with each play. It just seems like every game, we’re learning constantly, getting better, and to me it’s a really intriguing game.
I actually played my first game of TtA this afternoon – it was only the short version, but I still enjoyed it, and I can see that it has a lot of depth and strategy to it. Right now, it’s still behind PR, but I could see it passing it very soon.
Match 51
Stone Age
Dungeon Lords
Haven't played either.
Match 52
Hearts
Race for the Galaxy
Never played RftG, but heard great things. However, Hearts is one of my favorite games, and I grew up playing it and lost count of how many games I’ve played. Definitely hearts here, and I really hope it pulls through.
Match 53
Galaxy Trucker
Kingdom Builder
Have not played either game.
Match 54
Alhambra
The Settlers of Catan
Alhambra looks very cool, I have not played it but I’ve wanted to try. However, Catan is one of the games that got me interested in buying other games, and I still play it semi-frequently with my non-gaming friends, so it gets the vote here.
Match 55
Power Grid
Pandemic
Haven’t played Power Grid. Pandemic is awesome, though!
Match 56
Terra Mystica
Agricola
Have not played Terra Mystica, but Agricola’s really fun, and I have been looking forward to playing it again since the last time I played it.
