[QUOTE="Maerdwyn, post: 605604, member: 835"] When I have six friends around who are too sensitive to play Diplomacy with, we play Illuminati and have a blast :) My current favorites: El Grande - The theme is that you are a noble itrying to consolidate power in Medieval Spain. Good with 2, fantastic with 5, really good with 3 or 4. Consistently takes just about 90 minutes to play. Spiel des Jahres winner. Tigris and Euphrates - only ever played it with 3-4, but one of my favorites. Echo what was said about it above. 90 minutes to 2 hours. Acquire - more fun than you'd think a game about merging corporations would have a right to be. Only played it with two after I found it for 50% off at a WOTC store two weeks ago. Ptreety god with two, apparrently a classic with more than that. EuroRails - the shortest of the Mayfair Train Games. Tikal - Best with 3 or 4, IMHO. Explore a Meso-American jungle, escavate ruins, and plunder them; then plunder the treasure of the other players who got to the pyramids before you. :) 2 hours +/- Famliy Business - Great, quick game of mob war. Lots of backstabbing, but the impact of this can be blunted if you give all your mobsters outrageous accents :D Decent games I'd play, but wouldn't purchase again: Age of Rennaissance - like a slightly shorter, slightly less fun Civilization, but If I've got the time and players for this, I make the time for Civ. Vinci - build and empire, decide its time for it to crumble, make a new empire. Decent, but just didn't grab me. Poorly written rules. Games I own but have yet to try: Puerto Rico Taj Mahal Games I love, but haven't played in a long time due to time or player requirements: Advanced Civilization/Civilization Diplomacy Republic of Rome - Only need 2, and I think it's fan-freekin-tastic, but too complicated and to historcally based for my wife, so on the shelf it sits...
