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!

How do you guys convince your group to play complex stuff like this? My group's more accustomed to Martian Rails and Agricola but I dream about playing Arcs, Cosmic Encounter, or even Twilight Imperium one day.
Alternatively, how does one find a group that is naturally drawn to heavier games?
we trained our group up by starting on Sentinels of the Multiverse and then Spirit Island
I recommend eclipse:second dawn over twilight imperium. Almost the same experience in half the game time.
I will have to look into that. I have a whole spreadsheet about space-themed conquest/diplomacy games that I'm thinking of trying to get them into. I have to find a game with the right feeling for this group because they're very picky (in a good way) so I appreciate your suggestion.
There is a digital version so you can try it without dropping serious money on it if you want :)
They're rare to be sure, maybe you start collecting them whenever you play with new people and organise a recurring Crunchy Game Night?
We currently manage about 1 crunchy game night/month
