Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gulla" data-source="post: 5525725" data-attributes="member: 4272">I've played 16 of them and seen all (having hoarding board game geek friends help a lot). 1830 and Britannia are two of my all time favourites and I have played both several hundred times. 1830 is a bit dated now since the formula works so much better in 1870.Republic of Rome is probably the worst game I have ever played. I have played it a couple of dozen times, trying to like it, but whatever you do it seems to come down to either 5-6-7 hours of game play decided on one or two dice-rolls, or the game winning. Maybe I have too many cut-throat friends, but around here most player thinks letting the game win is far superior to letting someone else win.I'm curretly teching my son ASL, refreshing my own knowledge along the way. The new introductory games are nice.All over I really miss the Avalon Hill type games (multiplayer games taking more than 4 hours with a high focus on skill). It just isn't the same with the newer games lasting max 2 hours. And I have yet to see any game the last 10-15 years being still enjoyable and not completly understood/analysed after 200 play-throughs. These days I play much less board-games but feel that most modern games are "used up" after 20 play-throughs. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
