Marcus The Board GamerDo you like the colour BIEGE? Do you like beige and railway tracks and sluice gates? Then I have THE GAME for you! Yes, YOU! #BoardGames #BrettSpiele #j2s
StarSloth@lordsplodge Yes, that's very beige. Your post made me lol though, and I showed it to my partner who apparently likes beige and sluice gates and now wants the game... More loling
@silhelm lol it is soooo beige. Do they like peat too? Because SURPRISE the game also heavily features peat (and peat boats by association)
@lordsplodge "gief" was the reply
@lordsplodge is the game actually worth getting if we can find it, though, aesthetics aside?
@silhelm If you see it for a good price then yes. It has an interesting action selection mechanism where you have to balance between moving round the quasi-rondel. The game accelerates the more you do so but that pushes end game closer and closer quicker and quicker.
But it was an obscure Essen release a while back. Literal no buzz in the board game media. I took a punt purely based on said beige-ness and theme.

zrzz@lordsplodge I unironically love seeing modern Euros that dare to be beige with chunky wood components. It feels like coming home.
I don't have Findorff yet but it's on my list.
@zrzz I’m tired of over produced euros that have eight million different things you can do and ways of scoring. Give me a resurgence of the classic, tight, euro and make it beige!
It’s a shame Findorff had little to no buzz as it’s a classic euro in a sea of point salads.
Simpike.instanceI agree 100%. Keep it streamlined and beige. Too many garish boards with endless plastic these days
urbaer@lordsplodge When I first brought Faiyum to the table people asked if it was released in the 2000s.
Its odd that 2F's euro games have become less colourful than they used to be
