I think every time we played it, it was purely for the challenge. History of the World I found a terrible game. Way too random, too easy for nothing that happens before the last turn to matter. I much prefer Smallworld, which is very like History of the World, but much less random. Every game of Smallworld I've played has come down to an 80+ point game that was won by a single point and the spread between 1st and last place was very small. In other words, everyone's in it, the entire game, you can't count anyone out until the very end. I consider that good design.Diplomacy, obviously, one of the greatest board games of all time. Not a game you necessarily want to play with your friends. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Merchant of Venus is one of my favorite games. In fact, we played it last week, $2,000 game, which I won...with exactly $2,000. I believe everyone else had about $1900 when I won, extremely close game.Titan I have never finished. I find it a terrible game to play at Game Night because it's the kind of game where someone gets eliminated every round. Great for a convention, not so good for social gaming. But in the context of a Con Game, it would be awesome.I remember liking Titan: The Arena quite a lot, but after the first few games, we never played it again.</blockquote>
