[QUOTE="Fyrestryke, post: 4127583, member: 4809"] I guess the concept of a game doesn't matter much to me. I enjoy the mechanics, the socialization, and the fun. That's the way I try to teach people. I tell them exactly what I would do and why. If I lose, I lose. Well, I ranked 9th out of 100 or so people playing Settlers "competitively" in 2006. But, it's still a work in progress. I still get my butt handed to me on a regular basis when I play online, and I still say that Bob and Mark are both better than me, I just had a good run in 2006 and I had to play very ruthlessly to accomplish that. Playing a game ruthlessly just goes against my grain... But, I see your points. =) Also, I think you need to play any boardgame at least two or three times before you can truly appreciate or hate it. I feel you need to give anything a fair chance before you dismiss it totally. Most anything is like that. Songs, things like that. You might not like it at first, but it "grows" on you. I hated the cartoon "Courage the Cowardly Dog" when I first saw it, but after I watched it a few times, I really like it now. There's a point in that rambling somewhere. If you can find it, lemme know. hehe ;) [/QUOTE]
