Comment on Agricola by Matt Sonnenberg

Thanks Jason! Every game has it’s learning curve and I would say that Agricola is on the higher end.

I always make sure to “warn” people during their first game that they probably won’t win and if they score in the high 20′s their first game they’re doing well. I don’t hesitate to teach people anymore because I am now certain that regardless of their first game experience they will be back for more.

I just reviewed this game on my blog and feel the same way. I have played many games and I love it, but feel a little bad teaching it to others knowing they will probably not grasp the game until halfway through it and they will lose. That being said everyone I have taught has enjoyed it.

Great photos and awesome custom meeples!

Thanks Kristin. Always glad to hear I have followers.

Do you have a blog for Timeless Events? It could increase traffic to your site and subsequently increase your business.

Comment on Exploring Catan by Matt Sonnenberg

Lorien,

You’re right. I have not heard of Bohnanza as a Gateway Game before. I would, however, consider using it in the proper circumstances. Bohnanza is one of just a few games that I know of that can be played (and played well) with 7 people. This would give it a great advantage in a party situation. Plus, as you mentioned, it definitely has the “fun factor” going for it.

My gateway game was Bohnanza. Which is certainly not a frequently mentioned gateway game, but it does have the fun factor going for it. That, and Lost Cities were the first ones I played. I’ve always been a sucker for eye candy, so I have to say what gets me hooked is almost always visuals and theme. Especially once we got the expansion with the coffee beans…
