Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

I definitely get the concern, it does not have any real replayability, being puzzles that you destroy as you play. I remember us talking about the price to playtime ratio after the first game, and deciding that it was "cheaper than going to the movies, and more enjoyable". For us it's like a treat, we usually buy one when we go to the board game shop, we're excited about it on our way home, and we finish it that evening.

This was our third exit game, we've been getting the same nominal difficulty. We're a bit more familiar with the common tricks now, and we finish the game a bit faster, but every game has something different and interesting, the individual puzzles have pretty consistently nice quality, so it's still very enjoyable to play.
