Trynant posted:It's a pretty swell game, but definitely look at the rulebook (freely available as a download on the BGG user page). The game is up there in terms of complexity. Really up there. Any game that has a "Jilted by Elizabeth table" is a game that demands to be played.

Got a chance to play Trajan for the first time over the weekend and I think I am in love. Quite possibly my new favourite Euro-y game. Not noticing a lot of Trajan love in here, perhaps Trajan lovers love their Trajan in silence with a glass of pinot noir. Maybe it's just the the little peg mechanic that has got me all hot and bothered, though.

Clockwork Beast! posted:Lightning Round: Need 6-8 player game for tonight. Was betting on being able to get 7 Wonders: Cities and could not. Need alternative. Mid-level attention spans; some complexity acceptable, euro-grog games probably out. Help me Obi-Wan Kenboardthread, you're my only hope. Cash n' Guns, Resistance, RoboRally, Apples to Apples/Cards Against Humanity, Shadow Hunters, Bang! are my go-to for larger groups. Most larger group games tend to be a bit on the lighter/party side

Clockwork Beast! posted:Lighter is fine and probably preferred. Is Bang! good? And what is shadow hunters and resistance? I'd look these things up but I'm also getting food ready, apologies. Well, they are all hidden traitor types of games where people are attempting to co-operate to accomplish a goal but there are those mixed in that are trying to ruin it for everyone else. Bang! is much more like mafia, where there is an outlaw trying to figure out who the sheriff is and kill him before he gets killed by everyone else. Certain roles get certain information, but also have an incentive to not just openly declare that information (lest they be killed themselves) The Resistance is a great traitor game, very simple. You are members of a resistance cell plotting to overthrow... something (you can pretty much just make up whatever oppression you are fighting against, it doesn't really matter). Problem is, there are a bunch of people in the cell who are actually spies from the secret police out to thwart your freedom fighting endeavors. Every turn, you rotate the cell leader who is responsible for deciding who to send on a mission. Spies want to get in on these missions to make them fail. Resistance members want to figure out who the spies are and keep them out of the mission teams. Shadow Hunters is of a similar vein. Hunters vs. Demons, trying to figure out who is what so you can call them and win. You have special abilities you can use, but they will also telegraph to everyone what side you're on, so it is about planning, deducting and then striking when you (think you) are sure. Out of the three, my groups seem to enjoy Resistance and Shadow Hunters quite a bit. Formula D and Bohnanza, mentioned above, are also great.

orphean posted:My wife and I decided to dive into boardgames together this holiday season as a way of spending more time together. I've played boardgames for years (though I'm more of a grognardy ASL sperg) but she didn't have much exposure outside of the horrid Monopoly - Angry Birds Star Wars the Movie : The Game stuff. Well not so much based on what she likes, but perhaps as a way to enjoy part of your love of ASL together, why not give Memoir '44 a go? a really simple, hex-based war-game. I used to play a decent bit of tabletop war games and while I could never really get any of my girlfriends into plastic space soldiers, Memoir 44 is almost always well-received. It is the Ticket to Ride of wargames for me. Speaking of Ticket to Ride, if you are playing mostly just together, the Nordic countries version is great for 2-3 players and so is the Switzerland one too, I've heard (never played it though)
