The problem here is not Tom Vasel, the problem us Tom Lehmann. If you only do what mainstream validates, you end up producing mainstream. Which might be what you want to do, but it is where you lose creativity and personality over tim…

/u/bboomslang on What are some good, weightier games (+3.10 BGG) that are streamlined and intuitive?
Yep, would be my candidate, too. Really great to teach, only thing that might be slightly unintuitive on first play is the interaction of cards and hiuses, but that is what the test scoring during play is meant for.

First play (left hand Vs right hand) of 13 days, German version. Great tight little game, loved it! Totally looking forward to play this with my wife, very surprising twists in it. Gives me a great CDG feel in a small and quick package without feeling dumbed down at all.
13 Tage ausprobiert – cooles Spiel über den Kuba-Konflikt, klein, stark, schnell – und dazu mit starkem historischen Flair.

Another thing that people seem to forget: when a KS moved large numbers of product allready, why should any publisher takr on the risk of producing such a big and complicated game, when obviously a very large part of the market for a …

/u/bboomslang on What makes Concordia a great game?
The buttery smooth game play and the really great coopetiton – you quite often can’t avoid giving things to your opponents. The double use of action cards for both the actions you can take and end game scoring, the breat visual way the map fills up – it all snaps together so well. And you just feel great while playing it. Add that it is quite easy to teach, if people have played some other modern games before. And the different maps give nice variability without overburdening people with complexity.

What makes Concordia a great game?
I still don’t own it, but i love medium euro games and I think i could enjoy it.
But why do so many people talk about it like a masterpiece? Is it because of its smooth mechanics and fast individual turns?
PS: I will often play it in 2p, sometimes 3p

Well, that is something new for me: my wife playing a game left-vs-right hand. I created a monster! (Ok, a cute and fun one ;) ). Battle Line really grabbed her, the last days were packed with plays of it, up to 11 games some days – and hadn’t I said “no”, probably even more.

/u/bboomslang on 7th Continent, the new hotness… What expansions "are essential" ?
One thing to keep in mind: they have horizontal (adding to gemerl game play) and vertical (adding new story by adding curses) expansions. I only went for the vertical ones, as those will provide play outside the allredy known, while horizpntal (weather, devourer) only add uf you throw them in from the start or replay curses, which I don’t relly see myself doing.

/u/bboomslang on What game got you into war gaming?
Yep, 2+2 is on my list of stuff to buy at Essen. Really looking forward to this, as we have one group where this would be perfect.
