msaari 📚I've been doing annual "year in review" posts for my board game blog since 2005. Here's the latest installment in the series!
Frankie Flowers@msaari I just stumbled over your account and blog, but was very interested, because our #18xx taste seems to overlap to a degree (18Korea, yay! 😉).
Regarding your comments about 18BosWash: What exactly do you prefer? I glanced at the rules and liked that it gets rid of a lot of bloat in 18India (GIPR, the bonds, gauge changes). Still not so sure about the Director's Certificate IPO and the yellow tiles per map part. Looking forward to playing 18Africa in a month, so any input is appreciated!
@frankie_flowers BosWash is mostly good because it’s so fast and smooth. It trims 18 India well. The director IPO is mostly fine but can sometimes create odd situations. The limited yellow cities are ok, and often don’t matter much. The three-dit tiles are the worse trouble.
