| Tal and I ate lunch at Abraham and Sarah's. While waiting for Tal to arrive, I played my third game ofTicket To Ride(this one with the1910 Expansion) with Abraham and Sarah. It's soooo light. It's ok and all, but I just don't see it as comparable toThe Settlers of Catan. I can see it as a gateway game; I admit that Settlers has a few more rules, which can discourage newer players. But Settlers also has more depth and more involvement. Maybe it's just a matter of what flavor you go for. Or maybe I haven't played it enough to appreciate its depth. We only got about a third of the way into the game, and I enjoyed it well enough. Both Abraham and I were planning to complete our three short routes and then spend the rest of the game making random six routes to end the game. Oh yeah: the ability for one player to hasten the end of the game in a way that doesn't have to do with winning is another mechanic I don't care for. After lunch we playedTichu. Tal and I scored 965 to Abraham and Sarah's 335, but shabbat was over so I decided to call it a draw. I pulled lots of bad hands but managed one tichu. I still don't know how Aaron called and made so many grand tichus against me at BGG.con.  |
