Stelas posted:Keyflower. This is a good recommendation but probably doesn't play in under 60 unless everyone is real good/fast. My instinct says to recommend Race for the Galaxy but that has no bits, so maybe Roll for the Galaxy if dice count as bits and bobs? edit: page 1000, woo.

Euphoria is great, but more of a 90+ minute game than 60.

Another vote for Keyflower, it won't play in 60 minutes at higher player counts most likely but that should definitely be doable for two player, at least after you're familiar with it. I also like it just as much with 2 players as with more, and I like it a lot

I haven't played 2 player Keyflower in a while but 60 minutes seems reasonably achievable as long as neither player is the kind to really take their time on every decision. I assume the 60 minute playtime is for 2 player ONLY because Agricola-level complexity with lots of bits for 3+ players in an hour is a pipe-dream.

Possibly Glass Road? Might go over an hour, but should be well under 1.5 hours unless you have a lot of AP.Some Numbers posted:Tragedy Looper? Takes about two hours to play.

Rutibex posted:I used a couple kinds boxes. I cannibalized an old Stratego set for Tai Shogi, and I used the pieces of an old Risk set as the Strength/Craft counters for this Talisman set. I had the old boxes lying around so I used them as the backing for the Talisman Boards (and one cereal box, I think?). All of the cards are just magic cards with slips of paper in them, and the rule book is in one of those folders kids use for school reports: For page 1000. For lesser content I am very excited to try FCM tomorrow. I love that it is the game that shall be kicking off my GenCon week as well. Seems fitting.

Reason posted:I know goons have pretty high standards, but I've generally had fun with Catan. Whats wrong with it? A horrible penchant for kingmaking and a very real possibility of someone getting screwed by the dice and therefore not getting to do anything of note the entire game. The cards can fix the latter, nothing can fix the former.

Reason posted:I know goons have pretty high standards, but I've generally had fun with Catan. Whats wrong with it? At this point it's pretty dated, and there's no end of games that do the same thing that it does except much better. Most notably, it's reliant on random chance to determine whether you can do anything at all on your turn - with even the most optimal placements potentially getting screwed for no reason other than the whims of fate. Playing it with the number deck alleviates some of these issues, though.

I played BatHotH today, it was at least quick and inoffensive. I think I made fewer than 5 actual decisions in the game, though (I'm not counting "which direction to explore" but that puts it to 5-7 at most).

Malloreon posted:a) it's way too random Or for rational reasons. If the dice aren't giving you any resources, you probably can't catch up by trading because you don't have much in the way resources to trade away. And since multiple players can build on the same hex, moving the robber somewhere to block the leader can have the side-effect of also screwing over the player who was already in last place.

Yo BG thread. I hear y'all like games. Wanna play a game? “Restraint? Why are you so concerned with saving their lives? The whole idea is to kill the bastards. At the end of the war, if there are two Americans and one Russian left alive, we win.” ~Gen. Thomas Power, U.S. Strategic Air Command 1957-1964 MELTWATER (working title) is a two-player board game of tactical starvation and mutually assured destruction at the end of the earth, currently under development by Erin Escobedo, aka me, Gutter Owl! The game is currently in open beta for Rules Version 0.62. I need PBP playtesters to put this thing through the wringer, so if this sounds at all like your thing, please sign up here!

Malloreon posted:Any game by Stefan Feld I'd play CoB more if it didn't take too long to set up for 2 players and too long to play with 3+. Reason posted:I know goons have pretty high standards, but I've generally had fun with Catan. Whats wrong with it? It's 20 years old. It's actually a testament to how solid it is* that people still play it, but given the explosion in variety and quality of games it sparked it would be weird if it hadn't been surpassed. *I'll hate on Catan any time but it's still light years ahead of popular games before it and even now we have games like Machi Koro getting acclaim despite being basically the worst part of Catan.

In Spinning Mule mode it'll only take 30m/player.

Going to buy a Target exclusive game later today. I'm leaning towards Evolution: The Beginning, but Suspicion looks interesting. There's no reviews for the latter, so I'm hesitant. I've never played any of the Evolution games. Would the Beginning be a good game for a casual group of players (my family)?

I've not played The Beginning, but neither of the other Evolution games is particularly complex. All you do is play cards in four different ways to try and eat as much as possible without being eaten - or in some cases even by being eaten.

I'm convinced the new Game of Thrones games art is art that used to be used as the character portraits on one of the song of ice and fire wiki's. I'll have look around.

I would not say any game has "surpassed" Catan. Lots of games out there are simply better than others, a straight upgrade. You can not really say that about Catan, there aren't any better versions of Catan out there. Catan is still the best Catan. But I wonder, Catan has lots of expansions. I have only ever played the base game because people always tell me it's an "antique" game not worth it! Do the expansions fix any of Catans problems? Do they add a more interesting depth to the game? I have never heard anyone in this thread actually talk about playing Catan expansions.
