Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Splendor and Century are a couple of games that I found both simple and engaging (sadly I don't have a local group of gamers to play with so don't get to play often).

Carcasonne is only good if you have 4 players and all fight to compete for the cities or roads... otherwise it is just a tile laying game with no purpose

Completely disagree. We play it almost exclusively three handed at home with no issue and it gets played a lot.

Our game playing children are 15 and 17 and they hate flamme rouge - although I love it. We play Azul and Quacks. They all like Everdell but I don't really enjoy it as much - I think it's because I don't really pay much attention to what others are doing, so tactically there is not much messing up what others are doing! Another favourite is Hare and Tortoise. And recently we got Doomlings so that has featured a lot recently. Another one that gets taken on holiday a lot (because it doesn't have a massive box) is Bohnanza - or 'the bean game' as we call it.

Just to amend... Carcasonne plays better if there are 2+ players... there is a standalone version for 2 players called The Castle which is excellent! Forces the contests so it is more involved for 2

Hi all. Just discovered this group. I don't suppose any of you have ever played 'Give Us a Job'?

Welcome, @Cheg. I haven't played it. It looks like a fairly straightforward roll-and-move game?

Yeah it is ever so simple. You will do well to find a copy of it. My Dad and his mate Phil created it in the 80's. It is a really fun roll and move game. Think there were only 1,000 ever made.
