| I actually prefer San Juan because of the higher interactivity between players in comparison to Race. I can see how Race plays well and I do enjoy it, but I do prefer having more interaction between the players. Probably why half the games we end up liking as a gaming group are Ameritrash.
Race is lots of fun - the strategies you take end up being very luck driven at least, I know my second game I ended up with New Sparta too but went the production-development route (unsucessfully sadly) because I kept drawing everything but military cards.
Race is still probably one of the best games that came out in 2008 though. Hmm, I wonder if we should start a thread to see what the votes are for best games in 2008? |
