βThe first time I played Catan, which was my first time playing anything other than "the classics" (Monopoly, Risk, etc). That was almost 30 years ago and I still remember the awe of the experience. It had never dawned on me that board game mechanics could evolve beyond what the "classics" offered. * Almost no down time what so ever - every dice rolls counts for everyone. * No one gets kicked out. Sure, you may be way behind, but you could still do your own thing. * Your success did not depend on the misery of your piers or crushing your mom's spirit ("Boardwalk! You owe me everything you have and then some."). * Easy negotiations and interactions between players. * Random board every time. * Considerable time save regarding the handling of currency. No small denominations, no change to be provided.β
βIβd never seen a board game quite like this beforeβ¦ Asymmetrical characters, cooperative, using cards as items/weapons, and not roll-and-move all blew my little mindβ¦ One Amazon delivery later, and Iβm popping my first chits and poring over the instructions to get my head around itβ¦ Played it with flatmates, and never looked backβ¦ Iβm now sat here with over 200 games on my shelves, but I still have a soft spot for DoW and all its flawsβ¦β
