    I understand your pitch. I think that’s why playing the whole European map with just two people made it too easy(idk if the digital version has two map options). It was too easy for each of us to just spread out in opposite directions and have zero interaction or competition for cities/zones

    I played Concordia for the first time this week. I thought the mechanics were interesting but I kinda wasn’t taken by it because I fet like there wasn’t much decision making to be made. I think part of why was I mistake that I made. We played two people on the full Europe side of the board.

    Could anyone provide insight if my mistake could’ve been why it didn’t feel fun or interesting? I know this game is pretty high on a lot of peoples lists.

    Idk I kind of disagree. I think a lot of the words in these longer comments are just fluff to fill it out. Even in this thread alone, most of the top comments are exactly the same idea just with different fluff, “on Reddit I didn’t but here I do. Oo and I like the comment box being on the bottom because I actually read comments so I don’t repeat stuff”.

    I’ll probably keep it in my rotation for the smaller subreddits I was apart of. Like I just became mod of my local neighborhood subreddit that was dead for three years and built it back up to the point that people are posting regularly and even meeting up in person.

    But I’m probably done with mobile since Apollo is gone and will be sticking with RES on desktop as along as that keeps going.

    They’re new to board games so they’re definitely overwhelmed. All the games I’ve introduced to them so far they’ve loved and luckily there’s been some 5 minute YouTube clips for quick rules. But with brass all the rules videos are pretty long. I’ve watched some games so I think I have a good enough understanding to get them to commit though.

    Did you enjoy it?

    Been trying to get my local group together to play Brass: Birmingham for the first time, but that hasn't been going well. Luckily, I finally discovered BGA, so I have been playing a lot of wingspan, Carcassonne and splendor there.
