Date: March 22nd, 2018 12:07 AM Author: Lime Big Codepig I need something for smart people to blow off steam with.
Needs to run in under an hour, preferably 30 min. Should work with 3-5 people — you may assume 4. Needs to be light but must also have strategic depth. In particular non-interactive shit like Dominion or Race for the Galaxy is a no go. Needs to be relatively easy to pick up.
Your thoughts please? |

Date: March 22nd, 2018 12:20 AM Author: Racy friendly grandma crackhouse I haven't played it but maybe 1775: Rebellion, a 4-player American Revolution game. Also 1812: The Invasion of Canada. I think they also have a French and Indian War game and a Vikings game by now.
In non-wargames, Eclipse CAN be played in about and hour but tbh it usually takes longer, sometimes even 3 hours. |

Date: March 22nd, 2018 12:23 AM Author: Racy friendly grandma crackhouse Yeah he's gonna have a hard time with that. Even the handful of Eurogames I like are definitely taking at least an hour.
Btw my favorite Euro is El Grande. |

Date: March 22nd, 2018 12:27 AM Author: Racy friendly grandma crackhouse Never played PR. Only did Power Grid once and I didn't hate it but overall I just never want to play Eurogames when there are wargames I could play instead.

Date: March 22nd, 2018 12:45 PM Author: Bat shit crazy insanely creepy school cafeteria Obviously Settlers of Catan would be perfect for your use case, but if you're asking this question you've probably already played it.
El Grande or 7 Wonders would be good, but I'm not sure they are interactive enough for you. Players interact with each other in those games but its not as interactive as a trade-based game like Settlers of Catan.
There's a million games "like" Puerto Rico, if Puerto Rico is sufficiently interactive for your weirdly outgoing and extroverted group of Eurogamers. |

Date: March 22nd, 2018 1:39 PM Author: Racy friendly grandma crackhouse I'd consider El Grande a more interactive than Settlers. There are more means for ganging up and directly sabotaging people in the former. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3925309&forum_id=2#35661717) |
