And much fun it was too - a graphical overhaul wouldn't go amiss, but looks aside its a very elegant, clever game, deserving of its classic status.Joe Bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01710555098761136919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-91405516994847095342015-06-03T21:44:29.546+01:002015-06-03T21:44:29.546+01:00Yeah, it's strange, some swear by it as a 4p, ...Yeah, it's strange, some swear by it as a 4p, but I like 2p best, then 3p. Control is good in a game like that. <br /><br />It was great to get Acquire to the table. A veritable classic - over 50 years old and still feels fresh.

V enjoyable.<br /><br />I get what you're saying about Atlantis Andrew; I prefer it to Verflixx/That's Life but it can feel a little draggy, especially when you make a plan and then new colours harpoon it. Maybe there's a case for dealing a few less tiles, or maybe three players is the sweet spot. I do like it though. <br /><br />I wasn't hugely enamoured of Metropolys - I liked it at the start but the close of the game felt rather closer to frustration rather than fun. Not the funny frustration of say 6Nimmt either. I think the bidding adjacency thing is clever though.GNN Reportshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982778341361220607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317166417552799764.post-69967504792658498022015-06-03T18:27:51.215+01:002015-06-03T18:27:51.215+01:00It felt great to finally host after nearly two yea...It felt great to finally host after nearly two years hanging out with you lovely people.
