What is really annoying about such reviews is when the reviewer is pompous.MerricB said:
Four of us played it last night, and I elegantly beat the lot of themTicket to Ride: Europe is an "elegant" game. Why? Because my friends and I like it.
No, I have not seen it, but I was introduced to Quo Vadis and Condottieri (I hope I spelled those correctly) last night, and they are both enjoyable. I managed a narrow victory in the Roman Senate, but failed to win the battle for control of Italy
Well...dcas said:I've always said that the LA system has a certain elegance to it.

This is a good answer. I especially like the last sentence. Elegant is not the term I chose, but rather that of the OP in that thread. I didn't think it was a good word either, but to some people role-playing is an art. They would not enjoy the same games I do.Col_Pladoh said:Hi Genshou,
Frankly, I think "elegance" is a pretentious term suimilar to that typically ised by art and antique dealers, "important." Elegant is not a quantifiable thing, it is an opinion and value judgement, as is the term important.
Very ofter I find "elegant" used to laud some truly bad or dull game that only a handful of persons will ever enjoy playing, but some "important" critic/reviewer happens to like, or thinks he should like.
I think if I say more I'll be in trouble with the clique that claims play of RPGs is an art form:
"Yes, Dear Fellow, you play that game of make-believe so artfully..."
Cheers,
Gary
