  This is the game that started it all for me!

  I love this game because everyone gets to play until the very end. Even though it’s lucky driven, there is still elements of strategy. It’s a great way to bring in new commoners to the genre — especially if you’re afraid that other more complex euros might scare them away.

  I like that this game can bring in any person of any age and is easy to learn. We play this game often still. In fact, we’re playing this game with the seafarers expansion again this weekend because a friend of mine wants to beat another friend who won (his first game too!) lol.

  Some people might not like this game. But for a lot of people, this was the game that brought them into the genre.

  I’m one of them..

  One of my favorite games of all time. Just bought last expansion and am over anxious for next game night.

  The base game is a lot fun and is a good gateway game for those who have only known Monopoly…*cringe*

  Fairly easy to teach however, the trading mechanic is pretty much done away with when playing with experienced players. I mean, do you really want to help the enemy?

  Great game and a solid way to start your journey into all things euro ;)

  This game is fantastic, the board is ramdom and the expansions gives it an incredible lifespan compare to games with the static board. The fact that all players are involve during all the turns truly helps to keep interest in the game going. Also it is a very good gateway game to get people starting on the hobby!

  This is the game that started it all for a lot of people. The game is easy to learn and has the players actively involved throughout the game, whether it’s their turn or not. There is plenty of replayability with the modular board so no two games need be the same.

  There is an element of luck in the game, but good strategy and negotiating will generally win through in the end. Pretty much every non-gamer I have played this with has gone on to get the game themselves.
