So last week before Christmas I played another game of Agricola. I played with the uber couple who've played so many times they consistantely get 30 or 40 points in a 4 or 5 player game.

I've decided to move Agricola to my "no thanks" list of games. These are games I don't want to play, usually with certain people. Or in some cases these are games you simply have no interest in at all.

Other games on my list:

Settlers of Catan. Yes, great gateway game but for some reason I don't care about playing it. Maybe because I've never won, (yes, something as silly as that affects my judgement). Seems like the only way to get ahead is being a jerk and cutting off another persons growth, especially in a 4 player game (have not played with the 5-6 player expansion).

Taluva. Love the art but only recently did someone take the time to explain the 'like tiles expansion' rules fully. I'd pass if certain people play in the same game.

Hacienda. I like this one, but again if certain friends are playing I'd rather play something I have a better chance of winning.

Saint Petersburg. Bleh!

Jungle Speed. More of a party game, but I was reminded of this yesterday before we started Bang! Our host brought it out with several others and thankfully it was tossed aside because the pregnant lady didn't want to jostle herself too much.

So are there games you'd prefer not to play with certain people you know?
