Lost Treasures of the Eurogames Reclamation Project

But such is the irony of which I speak!

Bah! I've had Big City since 2005. But man...$20 is a steal.
I think the copy I bought was one of the last ones in shrink off eBay. I remember paying what I thought was a lot for it but that was at a time when a $30 game was expensive and I debated over the course of a few weeks to buy Silverton which was $42.99 retail. So likely $35 plus shipping or thereabouts.

Big City is certainly a sexy game. I was glad to own it during my early bone dry euro phase, and I am glad it found a loving home, but I found the game itself kind of just so so for my liking and has been on the trade pile for a while.

Enjoy Barnes!

How bout that apology Tush?

Sorry....



That you're heading down the same path as Octavian!!!!!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!


But just know...You could end up like lucky Octavian here getting a lap dance from Loter.

Truly the dream of all F:ATties.

You twERPs, you go too far.

Africa, Around the World in 80 Days, Journey to the Center of the Earth, California, Pueblo.

I haven't played Journey, but I'm not fond of the others. But I'm always the outlier here, so YMMV.

These are excellent Euros (some just "good") that that fall outside the list of known classics:

Aladdin's Dragons (warning: blind bidding overload)
Before the Wind (many much meanness)
Boomtown (listed again due to greatness)
Bucket King (with 2 common variant rules ; everyone in MD loves this game)
Cartagena 2 (can also be used to play the original)
Cavum (dynamite! explosions!)
Dragonland (Knizia family game, but fun for everyone)
Emerald (Dorn family game, also with a dragon)
Fast Flowing Forest Fellers (race game, needs max players)
Gold Digger (Knizia filler that we used to play a lot)
Hansa (the very definition of a good light Euro)
Magna Grecia (most brain-burny on this list)
Moai (meanest Euro ever; cannibalism!)
Shark (neat stock game)
Spectral Rails (really unique pickup and deliver game)

Ha ha! That game sucked!

Who will be the first to step up to defend Time Pirates?

I was looking at that last night. Robert Martin ranked it highly so it intrigued me. Barnes rated it poorly and I was confused.
