F:AT Five - Euro Games

On what planet is High Frontier a Euro? And how many burns does it take to get there?

It doesn't easily fit into any category, i wouldn't call it AT, or a war game and it uses a number of euro mechanics. But yeah on the planet my table which takes 8 burns to reach its a euro.

Tigris & Euphrates
Caylus
Bora Bora
Trajan
Samurai

In no order:

Tigris
Grande
Genoa
Catan
Taj Mahal

In response to Tom Vasel's top wargames vid, I came up
with my own top euros:



Civilization, 1856, Imperial, Dune, Brass

Dune?

yeah, I mean I'm not gonna pick a fight, but I'm interested in your reasoning for listing dune as a euro.

It's as much of a euro as what his group picked were wargames.
Mainly, this was an exercise in showing why people who aren't a
PART of a hobby (I'm no eurogamer) shouldn't be trying to define it.

To me, Dune meets all the euro design principles that I consider
euros exemplified.

it has no dice in its combat i guess. Unfortunately the Vassal rarely graces us with his presence here.

Despite this being a site for Ameritrash fans we have a rather sophisticated definition of Euro for some reason. Interestingly most people here seem to classify war games more or less 'correctly'.

A tough call, but here goes:

Age of Steam
Power Grid
Tigris & Euphrates
Age of Industry (prefer over Brass)
Amun-Re

Runners Up:

Expedition (prefer to Wildlife Adventure)
Carcassonne H&G
Goa
Medici
Modern Art
Monkeys on the Moon
Ra
Spectral Rails
TransAmerica

Not sure if these count as Euros:

Boomtown (goes in the top 5 if it counts)
Dragonland
Kingdoms
LOTR coop board game
Snow Tails

All this goes to show is that I have no idea what counts as a Euro anymore. I suppose that's a good thing.
