Oh My Goods I thought Alexander Pfister only did long, turgid games like Great Western Trail, but this one is a light engine builder. A random number of cards are flipped. If the resources on the cards match a production card you select, you get goods. You can then build extra buildings or hire followers which both let you produce more valuable goods. It&#39;s a nice little race.There&#39;s not much interaction but it&#39;s quick and light. #boardgames

@iain@ohai.social I only tried it once, but I loved it: an euro in a small box, simple setup, easy to explain and of medium-short duration.

@iain@ohai.social it is a fun game. Didn't know they had collected the many little expansions, which were incredibly hard to get, into a big box edition.

@iain@ohai.social Light? I must need to reread the rules with a fresh pair of eyes - I keep looking at the little base game box and thinking "I could bring tha- no, wait, I don't know how to adequately teach it, back on the shelf you go..."

great little game - played a couple of times but sunk under the heavy euros who did it bigger, longer and more bloated

@iain@ohai.social Base game was fine then they added all that campaign stuff. Laughing at the words big box on a not very big box.

Thanks for sharing. I think board games should be easy to pick up and learn for anyone. This way the game acts as a social lubricant, not a half-time job keeping track of rules.
