Maybe it's because this sale has a longer period of 2 weeks plus. <br /><br />20 minutes! That's amazing. Allen and I probably <i>intended</i> to spend 20 minutes - quick in quick out sort of thing, but once we got there, we ended up spending around double that.

It was ok but I think I need to play it again to form an opinion. I think it's a good candidate for a light gaming.<br /><br />I can't believe that Snowdonia was on sale.

I can think of some recent games which are similar to those classics from that period, but are getting less attention, e.g. Palaces of Carrara.

Nowadays the newer games really fall short in comparison, games tend to be complex for complexity sake....blownfreakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009769059427068127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34958803631138938.post-22697461240744318992013-09-01T15:30:40.692+08:002013-09-01T15:30:40.692+08:00Allen, I've finished punching the pieces and b...Allen, I've finished punching the pieces and bagging them this morning. Next step - rules reading and rules summary. Doing the organising of the pieces for these games made me rediscover how classy these German games are - precise and excellent quality components and custom-made box inserts perfect for them. <br /><br />I'm your good friend right? Right?!!
