For our wedding we received a bunch of card games which came in pretty handy because we didn't have a TV for a couple months. After the first couple nights of who-beat-who I vowed never to play a game with just him again. But with a crowd we love, Loaded Questions, Apples to Apples and Blockus.As Told By Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12635669104758707350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-77124398326351505652009-07-22T06:18:43.505-07:002009-07-22T06:18:43.505-07:00Rachel, Settlers and Ticket to Ride are an much ea...Rachel, Settlers and Ticket to Ride are an much easier game than Eurorails.<br /><br />Just be pre-warned. Settlers is a 1-1.5 hour game and Ticket to ride is a 30-60 min. game. Eurorails is easily 2 hours+. It crosses a line between casual gamer to intermediate games in my mind so just in case your impression of Euro rails was it was the casual game (like Settlers and Ticket), Iwanted to make sure you knew.<br /><br />My wife will play Settlers and Ticket, but she will not play the Eurorails games. She is a casual gamer. If your sister is casual only, like my wife, then she may not like this game. If she can play a 2 hour + game, then definitely recommend it to her as it is a good game.Aaron Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356942729722642571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-24221411098036866612009-07-21T21:07:54.542-07:002009-07-21T21:07:54.542-07:00I'll have to recommend this to my sister in la...I'll have to recommend this to my sister in law.

There just are not that many 2 player games I have and play regularly, other than Blood Bowl and that is probably more complex than you and Eric would like to play.Aaron Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356942729722642571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-73537999163216170952009-07-21T11:12:45.442-07:002009-07-21T11:12:45.442-07:00Euro Rails, British Rails, Empire Builder, Austral...Euro Rails, British Rails, Empire Builder, Australian Rails, I think I may be missing one or two. All very good games.<br /><br />Yeah, you guys are geeks making a spreadsheet but a TRUE 100% Geek, would realize what you are doing is making a Database and wipe open MS Access and create a D-base and not only store the wins, but also the number of turns, number of connected cities (all size cities) final currency count, what turns train upgrades happened, what turns the final large city connections happened. Then, you have to make a forumla to weight all of those and determine who is the true winner.<br /><br />Bah, you say you are a geek and you ONLY USE Win/Loss to determine who won!! Call me when you are using pivot tables for fun! ;PAaron Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356942729722642571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434047468114822475.post-77725675030435621012009-07-21T07:16:03.215-07:002009-07-21T07:16:03.215-07:00Whoo hoo to the winner!!
