But I don't. Here's the ones I actually disagree with you:<br /><br />Haggis - Everyone has the same three bomb cards and if you use them for bombs you don't get the points for them. So I don't want to use them unless I really need to. The decision to use them feels strategic, not tactical, to me. I certainly don't get the repetition feeling you seem to have. II'm not saying it replaces Tichu, but when I don't have exactly 4, Haggis is close. <br /><br />Troyes - I still don't understand what it is about Troyes that you and Amy dislike. It feels like a fine dice drafting/worker placement game with lots of interesting moving parts. I need to get it played again, I miss it.<br /><br />Bananagrams - Oh yeah it does. Big words makes it easier to place small words later. I find that if I have an early big word or three, that gives me space to very quickly put in the little words I need to finish my crossword quickly. Otherwise I'll probably have to break down everything halfway to make my big word. In any case, Its such a super short game...Felix Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12244521791558412451noreply@blogger.com
