I have it, play it a lot. It’s about 30-45 minutes play time, not overly complex but it did take me a little time to pick up.
It's a fantastic game IMO. I'm kind of shocked at how well balanced it is.
San Juan plays well with up to 4 players, which is nice.
San Juan is also a good 2P'er.
We love it because it goes to 7. It is a bit more variance-reliant, yes, but if you pay attention to card counts I find even those in a tough spot can scrap for points.
A friend of mine just gave me an old copy of this cuz he got tired of its simplicity. Me and my 7 year old played the hell out of it over spring break. Fun, short, easy game that actually requires a bit of strategery. Good game.
I certainly see the value in that it is a simultaneous move game for 7 people, which is rare in any genre.hagmania said:
In pure co-ops (i.e., no traitor mechanic or secret victory condition or something) I don't think it makes much of a difference. I've solo'd Pandemic way more than I've ever played it with others. And I've played it with two people. You just take multiple roles. It's still the same game. We have a set number and type of actions to solve the scenario the game gives us. Same would apply to any of those Leacock games (Forbidden Whatever).Instinctive said:
This is one of the least repetitive games I have ever played. My group has played about 15 scenarios, and we can't get enough of it. New content is unlocked all the time. And that is what makes it such a heavy commitment. We can only manage 1-2 game nights a month, so it could be a couple years before we exhaust all the content.
Played this game about a month ago.
Heard it’s great. How easy was it to play and how long was the game? I don’t mind strategizing for a couple hours at a sitting, but most people seem to have shorter attention spans/free time. Powergrid and Agricola have been the most complex games we’ve played.
that looks like a cool game i might have to try it out.. but im looking for something where you are constructing something physically 3-d
Junk Art is a pretty fun game where you build abstract structures. There are about 10 different ways the game plays out - some are a legit race to finish first with other varieties having different rules for how you build the structure.

My family (me, wife, twin 9yo boys) loves Ticket To Ride. Educational, strategic, simple and fun.
Has anyone played Spyfall? They have free apps so no need to buy a physical version of overpriced cards.
Isle of Skye > carc. Imo.
More competitive folks might not like the co-operative format of Pandemic. It's the first family friendly game I thought of when I saw "Problem solving, convincing and discussion encouraged", though.
I have. It's fun, but kind of silly and not much substance to it. Best when alcohol is involved.
