agricola becomes better the more you play it but it was too much of a time investment to actually get to that stage

the only game i have ever spent time to get good at is twilight struggle

I never got why people call the gric a slog, just do some stuff, block some stuff and try funny card combos. It's fun to not overthink.

if it takes more than five minutes to set up a board game it should be a computer game, and not a board game

So what the gently caress is the deal with people who don't like card games. I've met people a couple times now who are all 'I like board games' and then are all 'oh I don't like card games' when I pull Netrunner or Love Letter or something

original civ/advanced civ are awesome but take a heck of a lot of time to play

Just guessing here but maybe it's not cards or boards that they like or dislike but hidden information. Board games tend to have most of everyone's resources or whatever out in the open whereas card games you generally keep your hand hidden.

I don't know which Civilization board game I played but it seemed like a very old one. A lot of it was tedious and took forever but I really liked the trading mechanic, you had to trade at least three cards at a time but you only had to tell the truth about two of them.

that's probably civ/advanced civ, the game of giving catastrophe's to other people in trades
