The best new game I played this weekend was Jet Set. We played with six, and I'm not sure it's best with that number (the large number of available cards leads to a bit of AP), but it still worked. Definitely interesting and tougher than it looks. A thoroughly professional design by Kris Gould. I managed a 1 point victory as the two players who got their Final Routes down early dominated. I want to try this again with four, as I think that may be the sweet spot.
I also played Sushizock im Gockelwok for the first time. It's silly fun and plays fast, but the decisions aren't nearly as interesting or hard as in Pickomino. I'd play again, but I definitely prefer worms over sushi. Finally, we finished up with Chinatown, which was great as always. We played the original Alea version, without the silly economic cards, but with the Street Adjacency rule. The two experienced players led the way, but I finished second by about $15M. Chinatown remains my favorite trading game of all time and I'm always up for a game. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BGG Down" group.
