Atari Go. I don't think that any tennis game can really work. | |
Maybe best abstract game ever? |

This was a Christmas gift from my mum. | |
Play time: 3 hours. Or not really. It's not an easy game. I did not get to play a full game (hence the decimal rating) but I really liked what I had played. ( lacked both in pirate flavor and merchant buy/sell feeling) Dice part makes the gameplay variable. The life of a pirate is tough and the naval ships do not play around. The choices somewhat dull. But other than the duration, a fine game that I would enjoy playing again, but probably not with four. It helped that we had someone who had played a few times, as well. | |
Pas mal, jeux de lettre pour apero. |

I like the old crayon train / delivery games. | |
Very un-complex game, but great with children. | |
Have the Mega Brands version, Boo Who. I enjoy the crayon rails when played with the public locking variant. Very quick fun game to p[lay with kids. |

Light middle-weight area influence game where scoring areas are revealed one at a time. | |
Nice addition to Melee and can be played on it's own as well. |

First of all, more blocks. Lee has the jump and is into Maryland, and the Union are after him. | |
My favorite wargame The maps are artwork ; the campaign very exiting : you have a very few counters at the beginning on the maps and you don't know where the clash will take place.. Excellent scenarios - with some a real challenge. :) Sold it 2010-08-12. Después de un sólo juego, creo que el juego en si no es muy bueno. |

Spielbox. As written, it makes the game a total randomfest (except for the lucky player who was dealt the card). But it looks and feels great. New Zealanders can note that New Zealand is missing from the world map and a kiwi (New Zealand national bird) is drawn on Papua New Guinea. It is written pretty simply and feels like it would work best for 8-10 year old kids. The game takes too long to finish and is completely unsatisfying. If you're hoping your child will get a mini-geography lesson while playing all I can say is don't get your hopes up. The decisions were more tense when you know that a wrong turn would definitely have a consequence. | |
A game aimed at children that involves no decisions and hence no strategy. Couldn't be something bad. | |
Revolution? As an excuse to have some laughs with friends it's a winner in that regard. It seems like some junior marketing intern at Amigo came up with this card while blitzed out of his mind on a combination of crack and Jack Daniels. It took use three plays to beat it and it remained fun throughout. What were they thinking???? The game takes too long to finish and is completely unsatisfying. Probably the best aspect of the game is that it is impossible to cheat when you are playing the game and I found that I enjoyed it more because of that. The decisions were more tense when you know that a wrong turn would definitely have a consequence. | |
This card is simply stupid. |

Fixes some problem to the main game but the main problem is it's too long for what it offers. |

I don't have the game but I do have a copy of S&T 22 magazine. | |
The ring concept really ruined the game for me, although it did make it a much shorter game, if that's what you're looking for. |

Enjoyable game, for quick play. Loved playing it. The game can be more brutal that expected. Unplayed. Not even the buxom beermaid can save it. A tavern signs a contract with a brewery, causing half the income of the tavern to go to the brewery. THe players jointly own beer gardens and the brewerys that supply their beer. I can see how it creates tension, but it basically hit the players who were behind, so not only were they trailing, but they got unlucky, too. Mis unicas objeciones son que el factor azar puede ser decisivo, y que es muy dificil competir con malos aeroplanos contra otros mejores. Towards the early and late parts of the game, only really 2 of the actions are reasonably valuable to do. With only 6 shares and the nasty rule that once the 6th is made public everyone owning but a single share is deprived of it without compensation (!), it is too easy to simply get locked out of profitable businesses. And the fickleness of the waitress and drunkard means that a good tavern with solid share management can be brought to its knees or win the game. |

Finally got around to playing this game. It's very evil and I wish the headlines were in English. | |
Wanted to like it, expected to like it. Intense, filled with tough decisions and negotiations. My rating will probably go up. I will say that if it doesn't get close to I'm the Boss in overall fun, I will be hard pressed to make it a permenant addition to my collection. Maybe I'll try to Anglicize my copy's headline tiles. Plus the game has a LOT of pieces floating around and it's just kind of a pain. Would be more fun with English headlines and better graphics. If you get the chance definitely try te game out but don't overpay for it as I did (mostly due to shipping from Germany) **UPDATE** When I heard that this was being reprinted I jumped and sold my copy, eager to get the English version. This purchase makes me very happy. However, the game is bit too fiddly for my taste for what it is and takes too long. |
