Game Logs: June 19th, 2004
Our June gaming date went off without a hitch. We had 2 newcomers --
welcome Keith and the other person who's name I can't find recorded! -- Dave
Jump To: [ Tigris & Euphrates Settlers of Cataan Get the Goods TransAmerica3 Puerto Rico Bohnanza ]Tigris & EuphratesThis was a learning game of the classic Reiner Knizia game of kingdom building.
Dan, Dave and Keegan had never played before; Rob had only a few times.
After stumbling through the rules explanation we gave it a try.
-- Rob
I enjoyed this game a lot...I didn't rate it too high as there were a lot of
learning pains (not Rob's fault), but I'd like to play again.

With a similar mechanic as other games, you are trying to collect sets of goods (like yachts, oil, jewelery, art, ...). You score by having either the most or second most of each set of goods.

I think the 5-player Puerto Rico game provides more of a challenge as it feels like there is
less you can do to better yourself, however Puerto is ALWAYS fun in my opinion.

bean names based on the pictures as he has the German edition with some not-so-easy to say
German bean names. This is an interesting game where you plant, trade/donate and harvest.
