I did enjoy this episode. Thanks for the quick reviews!
Where can i find Orion Duel? Can't seem to find it anywhere….
The small Ticket to Ride games made sense when they were regularly on sale for $15, nowadays they're almost always priced at $30. Grated, I don't care for TtR in the first place, but that's still overpriced for what you get in my opinion.
I think the last small Ticket to ride Tom reviewed was San Francisco which he said was the same and clearly forgettable a year later. The mix of two types of railway makes Berlin interesting but I wonder if upcoming Paris does anything newer or its just like the others
Waterfall Park is a huge hit with my family. Great for kids ages 9+ as well.
"I like this game a lot, 7/10."
"I never want to play this game again, 5/10."
What is your scoring system Tom?!?
Would be nice if there was just a few versions of Ticket to Ride instead of like 100 for no reason.
I enjoyed Chinatown but waterfall park concerns me that each space now has 6 rather than 4 neighbours and the board isn't broken up until small blocks. I think this will mean less negotiation is needed to complete a group, any thoughts?
We played Waterfall Park at Dice Tower West. It’s a blast!! An hour of bartering back and forth. Requires having to do a little quick math in your head, and planning for further acquisitions. A really fun “experience” game. Beautiful production as well.
I would rather play Trade on the tigris or Sidereal confluence over waterfall park/Chinatown. I never feel satisfied after a trade in chinatown.
Chinatown was on of the grestest game seessions, i ever had. So much fun. But its very group dependent.
Id love to play Waterfall Park, but i dont have a good group for it anymore.
I would love to see a ranking of all the 15-minute versions of Ticket to Ride. I'd like to get one of them but not sure which ones are the best.
Orion Duel looks cool but WOW is that game too big for what it is. That "board" should be just the center part and save 50%+ of space on the table and in the box. That box is also MASSIVE! I was interested in it but not for the amount of space it's gonna take
