As per title. I personally really enjoy deckbuilding / engine builders and civilisation games, but most of them understandably end just as you're hitting the sweet spot of getting your engine up and running. Probably why Through the Ages is my favorite game - has all the mechanics I like, but lasts long enough that I feel like I get a chance to run them.

That would be an import item for me and thus grossly inflated in price sadly. It will have to wait until I next make a trip to Canada and hit the game stores.

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:

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