Boardgame recommendations for Rym and Scott

eknauer

Given that I mostly tune into your show for “boardgame night”, I’d like to recommend some games that I think you would enjoy playing-

1. Princess of Florence
2. Die Macher (reprint coming soon)
3. Louis XIV
4. Power Grid
5. Traders of Genoa

Thanks and keep the boardgaming shows coming!


P.S. What happened to Goa? I remember you mentioned it a while back but that you had to abandon a game while at a convention.

Ah, Die Macher. A game with a special place in my heart, possibly because I won the single time the FRC played it. It's a little too time-consuming (the box says, very accurately, that it takes 4 hours to play), but I remember it being fully of wonderfully chewy backstabbing and intrigue.

The alliance of my Square Tomatoes and Robot Hitlers will destroy your Sneeze Reform!

I've played Traders of Genoa. It would be Rym's favorite game, he just hasn't played it yet. I'm definitely looking forward to that Die Macher reprint.

Goa we played at a convention, but we failed to learn the rules. There's another con coming up, maybe we'll have another go at Goa.

One the favorite games of my close groups of friends is Junta. It lets you and your friends try to establish a government in a small banana republic that quite often turns into a coup. I highly recommend it, however it's best when you have the max amount of players (Seven I think)

I think my favorite board game would have to be Pax Britannica. Lots of negotiations and just crunchy enough.

What about Great Space Race from Kenzer & Company?
