1830: The Game of Railroads and Robber Barons8.0I only rate it an 8 because it takes too long to play and if you don't run any company it has too much downtime, especially when there are 2/3 operation rounds before each stock round. Considering the economic simulation and how everything works together in 1830 this is far better than just an 8. I could probably (maybe even should) rate it better than this but the ratio fun/time of play, which is by far the most important thing a game can have, is not very positive. I would like to play this game now and then, maybe a couple of times a year but I think it will be very difficult to convince my gaming friends to do it. The sad thing is that I'm sure that everybody, with a couple of games more, would like this game a lot!
1960: The Making of the President7.0Love the game and want to play it again very soon. Although the theme isn't as interesting as in TS, at least for someone at this side of the Atlantic, the game play is much more enthusiastic than TS. The flow of the game is excelent, it can be played in 90 minutes or less and, with some American Geopolitical Learning the strategy could be excelent. Main difference between this one and TS is that you have control over the entire game because scoring is equal for both players. Both players only score at the end of the game and none of them has scoring cards in hand which makes it much more fair. So it seems. I think that the replayability is not very high and the interest in playing it becomes lower after a couple of plays. A good game though. See my review A Foreign Perspective at: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/236844
221B Baker Street and Expansions5.0I like the game. It can be fun. PORTUGUÊS: Gosto do jogo. É evidente que os casos esgotam-se mas é entretido.
Aapep-
Ações Exame5.0Nice game with nice components and an interesting risk factor. It still is the best stock market game i've ever played. PORTUGUÊS: Gosto do jogo. Apesar de não ser grande fã do mercado da bolsa confesso que este jogo me dá algum prazer jogar. Talvez seja porque tem uma componente de risco que, apesar de não ser muito grande, é suficiente para haver uma reviravolta no resultado final.
Acquire6.0It's a good tense game. It's fun and clever. Very easy to explain and a good possibility to newbies, I think. I still wonder if luck weights too much on the game's result. Have to play it again. 6/07/2008 Played it again with 4 players. Luck has a major role during the game. The opportunity to make mergers makes the difference. If a player doesn't have the tiles for it gets too much dependent of whatever the other players do. I still like the game, of course, but because of that, I can't rate it higher than a 6.
After the Flood-20/12/08 Still deciding about this one. It seems very tight and very original, once again. I just don't know if I like the transition period where you lose almost everything you've built on the previous turn (armies). I'm not fancy about wargames and this one doesn't seem like being clearly one although it has its moments. It also seemed a bit too long. Have to play it again.
Age of Empires III: The Age of Discovery7.0For now it's an 8. It could get higher but I don't think so. It's a very well produced game, apart from the scoring track, it is very well balanced in all the possible strategies, although I have some questions about the balance between the buildings. Some of them seem to be very unbalanced but that's something I have to prove by playing it a couple of times more. It has luck envolved but I have to play it again to see if it is luckier than it should. 30/05/08 It is a bit unbalanced. Maybe you have to play better than your opponents in order to win but I still have a doubt about buildings and their balance. I'll push it down to a 7.
new It weights too much. Only trade in Portugal.
Age of Steam9.0Excelent game. Full of difficult choices, very hard to manage. Martin Wallace at his best. Maybe his most balanced game. The thing is that I can't win this game. I love playing it but I suck at it!

Agricola7.012/07/08 Played with 3 players, family version. I liked the game but I didn't find it superb or even more than just good +. It didn't grab me that much but I do have to play the expanded version. Or maybe that's what I don't like the game - the millions of possibilities. 18/07/08 Played again with 4 players and the Minor and Occupation cards were used. This is one of those cases where I will have to learn so much more about the game before actually like it. It's not intuitive at all for me because it has no rules at all. Everything is a tweak in this game. Instead of the game having a tweak it is the tweak itself that has a game on it. Cards and more cards make it different everytime, and that's a bless for card lovers but not for me. It is a good game though and I would like it more in the future I'm sure of that. 19/07/08 Tried the solo variant. It's not very difficult to get the 50 points. It's challenging enough but not that difficult. I've rather found it a good way to start dealing with the cards and the best way to learn how to maximize your production. I think I can play this game 20 times before opening another deck! 19/07/08 Played with 3 players. I know the game better and it makes me like it more because of that. I still think that Agricola needs lots of experience to be enjoyed properly. One of the great things about it is that it goes very well with the 3 fromats I've tried so far: 4, 3 and 1 player. 21/07/08 Played another solo game and changing my opinion about not being hard. The first time I played it alone I made a big mistake by feeding the family with only 2 food instead of three and that makes total difference between an easier game and a much more difficult and challenging one. Been playing many games so far with 4 and especially 3 players. I think that one of the good things this game has is how to maximize your production with your cards. It's great to watch a bad hand turn into something good or acceptable. I don't think I will ever raise the rate of this game not because I don't like enough for that but because sometimes your cards are so bad that the most you can achieve comparing to others is a family style of game, without anything really helpful to do with them. This wasn't that bad if the other players had exactly the same amount of luck but if they don't it's very hard for me to compete with such a difference between hands. Sumarizing I don't like the gap of luck that often occurs between players. It would be chalenging enough if playing the solo version but very frustrating when having to compete with others with plenty of luck and everything simplified or actually useful.
Agricola Z-Deck5.0
Aladdin's Dragons-
only want english edition
Alhambra6.0A cute family game, some interaction among players. Probably best with four or more. I've played it with three and found it a bit dry. It's that kind of game that shouldn't take more than 45 to 60 minutes to play or else it could be a bit boring.
new, mint Interest in trade: 8/10
Amyitis5.0I find it ok. It's not better than the last/first Cyril's game, Ys, but it is a good game. It didn't bring anything new, the replayability seems to be fine but the game itself could drag a bit at some point. It has the Ystari feeling.I love the artwork, specially the front cover. 24/05/2008 Played again and it has the same feeling: It drags too much. Rate went down from 7 to 6. I still don't think this is a bad game. It's just a bit boring at some point.
Antike7.0We could say that this game has two parts: civilization and fighting. First of all we have to build a strong civilization. After that, and trying to get your last victory points, you are almost obliged to fight. I have to say that this is a very clever game with clever mechanics and a very well balanced vicory condition. I think I like it better with four than with five.
Antiquity8.0There's something strange about this game. I think the game is very good but I don't like playing it that much.So this rate is for the game itself and not based on the BGG rating system. edit #1: I prefer the 2 player version. It's much better. edit #2: Played several times more with 2 players it completely grabed my attention. Very good game.
Arena (Morituri te salutant)-
new
Arkadia7.0It's a good game. Full of interaccion. Very beautiful. Great components.
Augsburg 1520-It didn't get my special attention but I've only played a 2 player game so it is abit soon to jump into conclusions about its real value. I'll try it again before rate it.
Axis Allies5.0Very good game. I've only played a couple of times but I've loved it. The thing is. You depend very much on dice result. Tactics is very important, much more important than in Risk for example, however the dice tirany could be a problem. It takes too long. PORTUGUÊS: Jogo muito bom. Joguei poucas vezes mas acho que vou gostar ainda mais do jogo quando começar a jogar mais e a conhecer melhor a mecânica. A ideia das cidades vitória é muito boa porque nos permite controlar melhor o tempo de jogo, embora eu ache - eu e os meus colegas de jogo - que a vitória pequena favorece muito o eixo. É um jogo de táctica de guerra como eu não conhecia e, embora dependa da sorte dos dados, esta tem sobretudo a ver com estatísticas. Ao contrário do Risco (Risk) por exemplo, neste jogo podemos melhorar muito a nossa probabilidade de vitória num determinado combate e isso já faz com que a sorte dê mais trabalho e traga mais mérito a quem se souber posicionar melhor.
Batavia6.0It's ok. It's very well produced with nice components. A good family euro game.
Battle Line5.0I like the game. It's very competitive, the rules are simple but very well designed and besides the luck envolved, Battleline has a very strong strategy feeling. The theme isn't there, as in most Knizia games.
Before the Wind6.0I don't especialy like card games. This one is fun enough for being played from time to time.
Bohnanza6.0It is a fun game although it could take too much time. I like it enough for playing it now and then.
Bolsão de Craques-A very nice gift from the author himself. Thank you Carlos!
Brass10.025/11/07 Terrific, tense game. Full of interaction (a la Wallace) and with the most incredible mechanics I've ever seen.It could be a bit complicated to play at first sight but when we actualy understand the basic concepts and mechanisms it flows very well and gives a full economic experience. Very good. 08/12/2007 I think we could have a problem here. This one could actually be the best game of this year. So far it is. I have to play it with four players. 21/12/07 Played with four. Much more tense and fun! I'll have to raise the rate. 23/12/07 Wonderful game. Played again with four. Fantastic, terrific game. JOGO DO ANO 2007 WINNER, By http://SpielPortugal.blogspot.com
Bridges of Shangri-La, The6.0
Broker4.0The game is ok. The thing is that there are much better options in the stock market kind of game. PORTUGUÊS: O jogo até é entretido e eu até gostava de jogar. O problema é que, desde que joguei o Ações Exame, não voltei a jogar este. Porque é pior.
Byzantium6.0http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/150691
Canal Mania5.0It is a bit boring and too much random is envolved. It's fun enough to be played now and then though. The major issue here is the time of play. If it was playable within the 60/70 minutes range it was perfect.
Cannes - Stars, Scripts and Screens-
openned but new. never played
Carcassonne5.0My wife gave it to me as a gift. Entertaining but too much lucky pick. PORTUGUÊS: Um presente da minha mulher. O jogo é entretido (ela gostou) mas é um bocadinho dependente de sorte a mais para o meu gosto.
Carolus Magnus6.0I found it a bit luckyer than I would expect it to be. The dice have too much influence in the course of the game. I have to play it again to raise the rating.
Castle for all Seasons7.021/11/08 Played with 3 players I liked the game. I think of it as a normal resource management game but with some interesting decisions. The timing to guess what to play is something that I agree is not concensual but it's a good mechanic in my opinion. I don't like the building that allows players to trade for 5 resources. It seemed too much strong. I still have to play the winter version of the game.
Cavum6.0I'm still deciding about this one. I'm not sure if I'll rate it higher than a 6 but for now a six is good enough. I'm not a big rail system fan and this one suffers on that. It has some nice mechanisms such as the bid for selling stones but everything is too much programed to work. It seems that everybody has to play in a certain way in order to things work out fine. I don't like that in a game especially because both of the times I've played it it didn't work fine. I'm starting to think that maybe it's the game's fault and not player's. I don't like the rythm and the backstabing. It's a good brain burner but not something I'll play very often. Excelent production though.
Caylus7.0Too much repeated decisions along the game. Stupid mechanics like provost/bailif, some unbalanced buildings. One of the things I don't like in this game is the lack of strategy in medium/long term and the time of play. It could be for over 3/4 hours!!! Another thing I don't like about the game is the backstabing. You just can't take things too serious, or else you're going to get very, very upset. Pushed the rate up to a seven after playing it again (2-01-2009) and realised that it's a bit faster than in our first plays. Still lots of repeated decisions and a bit boring mainly because of that.
Caylus Magna Carta6.0It has the same problem as Caylus. Too long (although a bit less) and repetitive actions. We're always doing the same thing over and over again. Anyway, I guess I like it better than Caylus. First because of lenght second because it's lighter. Not that I prefer lighter games but, in this case, some of the stupid mechanics aren't present - eg. provost
Chicago Express7.0This is a very good game. I have to play it more and more to see if I'll rate it higher, although I'm almost sure I will. The components are lousy which is a shame! There's no good possible explanation to this amateur production! Also I have to say that this is the last time I'm buying something from Winsome and that's because I prefer to wait a bit and actualy buy a decent production of the same game like in Queen's Chicago Express. Wabash is a great game but I would rather want Chicago Express!
Cia. de Teatro3.0Not my kind of game. It can be amusing. So they say. I really don't use my left side of the brain that much. PORTUGUÊS: Não é o meu estilo. Acho que tem demasiado a ver com o lado esquerdo do cérebro. Eu não gosto assim tanto de usar o lado esquerdo do cérebro :)
City and Guilds6.0Like it
Civilization-French Edition by Descartes Editeur. Never played. PORTUGUÊS: Tenho a edição francesa da Descartes. Nunca joguei. Tem uma belíssima produção.
Very good condition. Gibsons.
Cleopatra and the Society of Architects6.0A medium weight. One hour of fun, lots of card picking and drafting, some luck involved but still an elegant game, very well designed. The artwork is gorgeous. Strategy advice: timing is everything.
Clue4.0It's ok.
Coloretto5.0Fun and very good to play with children. My wife and 5 year old daughter love it.
Comuni6.014/11/2008 Played with 4 players A bit borig I must say. The flow of the game is not very intuitive and not very tense either. I like the strategy involved though and that's why I rate it a 6. It could improve once you know what to do better but I guess this is one of those 2 times a year game.
Confucius8.012/12/08 Played with 5 players Very good and original mechanics especially the gifts. A very tense and clever area control game with a bit of randomness, which brings some subtle changes on the strategies that players should pursuit. My first and only game took about 3 hours to play which is a bit too much. Time of play should reduce to about 2 hours of play to be a better game. I also think that the game was built for at least 4 players although it should work better with 5.
Conquest of the Empire7.0I've played a simple version of the game with only two players but I've liked it very much. It took a while to play but it has a good rythm. Some clever ideas on this one.
Crossin' Colors6.0A very fun game especialy for two players. It goes with four but I prefer it with two. João is the first Portuguese designer here in BGG! Congrats!
Cuba7.007/12/2007 It's a good game although not good enough to play very often especially because of its playing time. It takes a bit too much time than it should. The mechanics are not very original instead they look a lot like others used in different games (Pillars of the Earth, Puerto Rico). But it is a good average game that could be played now and then.
Darjeeling7.0Need to play it again to see where it can go.
Der schwarze Pirat-
Die Macher9.0The best. #1 indeed.
Die Wiege der Renaissance6.0It's cute enough to see the table now and then.
Diplomacy-
Domaine7.0A very good game. Full of interactivity, very tight, inteligent mechanics. The game combines a couple of situations that makes it special. The Tilsit edition is very beautiful. Maybe one of the best purchases I've ever made.
Dominion5.0I like it better than Race for the Galaxy but still don't understand the hype. A good game though. 07/11/2008 Played with four players in a medium scenario. It worked well although some of the cards with similar prices were way much better than others wich I guess it's normal. I've found it odd. I still think this is a good game, easy to play, difficult to master (I don't intend to master this game because I really hate having to know all cards and combos in order to play it right). A bit boring at some point. A seven is good enough for now. 03/01/09 Pushed the rate down to a five because this game is becoming obsolete after playing it not more than half a dozen times. Its hype doesn't make sense, the game is boring at some point. You could also play it without even looking at what you're doing and you may win!
Downfall of Pompeii, The6.0Very fun to play. A medium light game that could be played in half an hour.
Dune8.0An old Avalon Hill company release. This one is very special. The theme is present all the time. More than a game it's an experience. I liked it very much in the end, although I've had many problems playing it. I was out of the game too much time. But I could have won it and that's something interesting to say about it. Every game is different for each player if you try different powers to play with.
El Capitán7.0This is very beautiful game. The components are excelent although the names on the cities could be larger. The flow of play is very good. It could be played in 90 minutes for sure and it doesn't have downtime. I guess that the hot spot should be with 4 players.I think that the closing of the warehouses is a very tense and inteligent mechanism and makes this game much more interesting than I thought. I only think that it isn't very balanced in terms of money stress when coming from turns #1 and #2 to turn #3. Which means that we don't have money in turns #1 and #2 and lots of it to spend in turn #3.
El Grande7.0French Edtion. Descartes Editeur. Easy to understand, strategic enough, excelent mechanichs, nice historic context and not too long. Every game is a diferent game. Very elegant. PORTUGUÊS: Belíssimo jogo. Hora e meia de puro entretenimento. Tem a dose suficiente de estratégia, muito simples de jogar em termos de mecânica, várias decisões a fazer que influenciam muito o teu jogo.
Emerald-
Emira-
New, English Edition Interest in trade: 7/10
Eurogate3.0It's a bit more interesting than Monopoly. I know! That's not that hard :) PORTUGUÊS: É um pouquito mais interessante que o monopólio. Mas não muito mais.
Expert - Um Desafio Inteligente3.0Yada, yada, yada. Trivial Pursuit with a hidden colored die and no brains at all. PORTUGUÊS: Nada de jeito. Tirando o dado escondido e o facto de nem sequer termos de ter cultura geral, é igual ao Trivial Pursuit.
Foot-Boom1.0It's just a bad game. No sense at all. PORTUGUÊS: O jogo é mau demais.
Friedrich7.0Starting position: I'm not a wargame's fan. A very well designed wargame. The components are very good, a fantastic board, lots of strategic movements. High replayability. The possibility of playing with different countries makes a completely different strategy for each time you play. Luck is present as in all wargames, but it's a bit more fair than the usual. 4 hours.
Futebol Business3.0Not very interesting even if you are a football (soccer) fan. Too much dice and luck. Strategie almost none. PORTUGUÊS: Muito pouco interessante. Fica a curiosidade do coleccionismo para saber quem actuava na liga de futebol portuguesa naquela época. Os jogadores são reais, à excepção de um tal Falcão, que foi o autor do jogo e não o Rei de Roma.
Galaxy Trucker8.0Very fun. Very cahotic. Very clever. Very original. One of the best 2007 games. Everytime I play it I have the glorious feeling of I'm not playing this to win because I know that even if I'll make everything right there's a strong probability of losing This game is serious fun to me and I love it. Simple!
Game of Life, The3.0This game was a good idea but the most important decision you can make is if you roll the dice with your left hand or with your right hand (I'm exagerating). PORTUGUÊS: O Jogo da Vida O jogo até é uma boa ideia. O problema é que a mecânica não tem interesse nenhum. Ou seja, a história daria um bom filme mas o realizador não fez grande coisa. A nota é pela ideia.
Gangster7.0I like this game. It's nor brilliant but the theme is cool. It's a keeper. Usually we have lots of fun playing it and that's a great thing to say about any game.
Giants8.002/01/2009 4 player game: Very fresh design with good ideas and a very well balanced game combining luck and strategy. Full of difficult choices I liked it a lot. This is a preliminary rate. I could change it after a few more plays. I just have the feeling that this game takes a bit too long, maybe 30 minutes longer than it should. One of the best productions I've ever seen in boardgames, not only the quality of the components but also its functionality and artwork. Congratulations Matagot and Miguel Coimbra.
Glory to Rome5.010/07/08 (Played with 2 players) I'm not a big card game fan so I have to give it another try. The thing is that I don't know what I'm doing when playing it and I'm not sure if it makes any sense at all. I played it with only 2 players which is not the best format to this kind of game so this is not a decisive opinion.
Go-
Goa7.0I like the game. It's not very heavy, it's not a mind burner, but still has a couple of decisions to make. The only thing I don't like that much in the game is, along with the lack of interactivity, the fact that we can always make your own game. The resources never end, if you can't produce pepper that's ok, you can produce anything else because the result seems to be the same. The balance on the development still seems to be the goal of the game and that's why I like it. I tend to ignore the multiplayer solitaire aspect of this game, maybe because I love the theme and the art. I'm only expecting to play it again and again to see if I'll rate it higher.
Gulf, Mobile Ohio-
Hacienda-
Hamburgum7.0I like the game. It isn't like the other rondel games. Mac used a kind of simple resource management game with the rondel, very destinctive from his previous titles. I don't think this one is brilliant but, either way, it is an excelent eurogame, very deep, full of tactical and timing decisions. I like the shipping system very much and I could rate it higher later. 26/01/2008 I'm rating it higher now because in my opinion the map Lisboa is better than the original game. If you have the opportunity try it! Lisboa is a 9!
Hamburgum Expansion - Lisboa9.0This is maybe the most special game I have. It's not just mine it's also from my spielportugal buddies but it was specially made to LeiriaCon 2008. Thanks a lot Mac! Apart from the sentimental aspect this is a better game. The board is much more beautiful and the way bonus tiles are granted is also better.
Hammer of the Scots7.004/05/08 - after 3 plays: There's something strange about this game. It has everything I don't like: Randomness, hidden information, direct interaction (attack) and the theme is not that great. I don't even know why I bought it, but I'm glad I did because it's very fun to play and the all package is very atractive and streamlined. Usually I don't like dice and I still get very, very angry when they don't help me at all but among all the games I've played so far, I guess the average is fair enough to think that winning Hammer of the Scots could be done without being the most lucky guy. I also like the surprise ending of an year. That's very cool because it adds caos in a very controled way. I mean we all know that it could happen at any time if you play an event card!
Hanging Gardens, The7.007/07/08 Played once with 2 players. Need to play it again for a proper opinion. I liked the mechanics, very original but also a bit cahotic and maybe too much lucky driven. 13/07/08 Played again with 2 players and I like the system. It's a fun game. 14/07/08 played with 3 players it's much better than with 2 players but it gets a bit more lucky driven. The thing is that it is a fun game either way. 18/07/08 Very cool and fast paced with 4 players. Luck is much more present but it still is a cool fast game. A keeper.
Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage5.014/07/08 I rated it a 7 but that's just because the game is very good. The thing is that I don't like to play it. I'm not a wargamer. Boring
I have a like new version from Valley Games and a Very Good version from Avalon Hill. I could also sell.
Hansa6.0It is a good game. Simple to play, some clever tactics are welcome but it's not a tense and deep strategic game. In fact, this is one of those games that controls players a bit too much. 30/40 minutes
Heads of State7.0I really don't understand why so many people don't like this game! I've found it to be clever and straighforward. Maybe with some awkward rules (the fighting system) or the majority points in a 2 player game but in the end it's a good game, it seems. I still have to play it with more players and see if it lasts a bit too much time. Still one of the best games I've played from this years Essen.
Here I Stand8.0Superb, wonderful game. If only took less than 8 hours to play... If I could ignore the time of play I would rate it a 10 (ten)! This is maybe the most interesting game that I've ever played. It's a game among games. A classic masterpiece. Putting this multiplayer game together is quiet an achievement. Congratulations Ed for this superb release. Let me just say it again, I rate it a 10!
Hermagor5.0A good game. Very well balanced, road mechanics, a bit area control also and a very fun marketplace. Edit: rated it a 5 after a boring session. An ok game.
Hey! That's My Fish!6.0It's a fun game for introducing newbies especially children. My doughter like it a lot.
Himalaya8.0This rate could be improved. I liked it a lot but I have to play it again for a better opinion. My friens mock me all the time because I rate this game an 8 but I have lots of fun playing it and to me that's the most important thing a game can provide. I like everything in this game. The victory conditions (both the 3 and 4 players) and also the random involved. I can't explain why I like a certain amount of luck in some games more than in others!
Hoity Toity-
Hotels2.0Roll the dice and get rich. PORTUGUÊS: Basicamente é um monopólio cujo tema é a construção de hotéis. Pura sorte.
Imperial10.0I like the game very much. It has excelent mechanics, and it is very, very original. It's one of the most original and brilliant games I've ever played and it will always be a part of boardgaming history. It is a top 10 game pedigree for its brilliance. Superb game. The best game of 2006. It won the prize Jogo do Ano 2006 - http://www.boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Jogo_do_Ano
In the Shadow of the Emperor8.0An area control game full of interaction and lots of important decisions. A brain burner. Excelent. I only have a few doubts about its replayability.
Indonesia8.0Excelent game. Lots of difficult choices, very well balanced and also very original. Visually it´s not easy but the flow of game and the game itself compensates.
Industria-20/12/08 Played with 4 players This game is a bit difficult to understand at first. I have to give it another try in order to decide if I like it enough to keep it.
Intrigue6.0More than rating the game I rate the fun of playing it. We just have to be in the right mood for it.
Jantaris6.0I think this game has some good things. It's a bit long and I think I have better things to play within the 90/100 minutes range. Either way, it will see the table now and then thou.
Joan of Arc-
Journey through Europe4.0Educational. Good pictures. PORTUGUÊS: É um jogo educativo, com boas fotografias e, apesar de tudo, a lógica de movimentação até pode ser interessante.
Keythedral8.0One single play but I realy enjoyed the game very much. Hope it would see the table more often. A solid eight for now. 20/06/08 Played again with 3 players. Still one of my favorites. Very good game with an excelent combination of luck/randomness and strategy. Time of play/fun excelent too. It is a serious top ten candidate!
Keythedral Expansion-
King of Siam6.0Clever game. Very tight, full of difficult choices. I only think that the intent to make this game such tight led into a 90% probability of a draw result. Let's wait and see...
Kogge7.0A bit disapointing. When I first looked at it I thought it could be a terrific, tense game with lots of dificult choices and serious interaction. Well, it came out to be nothing like it. It has some flaws, the production is like it has been home made, and I'm almost sure that it will be much more interesting with some variants or home rules.
Krakow 1325 AD-
Kremlin7.0Excelent game. Lots of fun, lots of difficult choices to make. One of the most original games I've ever played. Anxious to try it again with 5 players. Played it again and again. The fun is present all the time. The different possible influence combinations make it a new game everytime we play it. It is an incredibly fun game.
Kreta7.0I enjoyed the game very much. Very tight, a very fun area control game. Fun/Time of play excelent.
Krieg und Frieden-
La Città7.0One of those games that has to see the table more often for a solid opinion... General thought: I like the game
La Strada6.0A filler. Good interaction, good playability, interesting choices. Half an hour of fun.
Le Havre7.014/11/08 Played with 4 players I admit that this is a good game but it takes to long and it's very repetitive. It's a very deep and strategic game and I like that. I supose that this rate could improve but I have to test it with fewer players. Maybe 3 players.
Legie-
Leonardo da Vinci6.0I have some problems in talking about this one. It's an area control game, with clever mechanics, but it turns to be a bit awkward. The original setup is a mystery. Does it work? I'll have to play in all positions on the table to tell. Another thing is that the game seems to be a bit longer than it should.
Liberté10.0I like the game very much. Full of important decisions, strong but elegant mechanics. A pure area control game from a great designer (M. Wallace). The historic content is present all the time during the game. edit #1: A solid eight I say. edit#2: What a game!!! edit#3: OK. I surrender!!! The most wonderful experiences I've ever had playing a board game were with Liberté. A very, very special game.
Lost Cities5.0A filler. Good playability, simple, elegant. Luck factor medium high. But it rewards the risk and I like that.
Lost Cities: The Board Game7.0I like the game. Similar to Lost Cities but much better.
Louis XIV5.0It's a very beautiful game but I found it a bit boring. Each turn takes an eternity and that makes the game slower than it should.
english edition. played once. as new.
Lungarno6.0It plays very well with 2 or 3 players but I think it takes a bit (only a bit) too much time. It's a simple game, components are not very good but they work fine, the artwork is lousy on taste. It has some randomness on the tiles and this can be frustrating sometimes. It's challenging enough to see the table now and then. I prefer to play it with two players.
Macht und Ohnmacht6.0It's an excelent game. The choices are very difficult, it's a brain burner, indeed, and has lots a replayability. It's very hard to manage because of the different cycles. These are the heart of the game and what makes it one of the most orinal games I've ever played. I just think that it doesn't last less than one hour and it's a bit dry until the board becomes more crowded. Excelent but very difficult to play!!!
Maestro Leonardo - Codex Leonardi - II-
Maharaja: Palace Building in India8.0I like the game. It has clever mechanics, such as the change of the scoring order, beautiful components, and decent time and flow of play. I'm only waiting to play it a couple of times more to rate it better. I think it could be a solid 8. edit: rated 8 The resources that we have to manage are very tight and most of the times there could be more that one winner in the last move of the game. One of the best games I've played (repeated) this year (2007)
Masons6.0I like the game. More tactical than strategical but fun. The balance between luck and strategy could be more interesting but still a nice clever game.
Master Builder5.0Slightly boring and uninteresting game. Repeated decisions all the time and almost everything works meaning that there aren't difficult dicisions to make. The game works in a final picture though but the components are overall bad. The card board is of low quality and I'm afraid that this game wouldn't last long if played a lot. It could be a good catch for newbies and older children because of its appearance.
Medici6.0Very good auction game. The stock market makes it very interesting and adds a different mechanic with different possibilities towards victory. It could be considered a filler.
Medieval Merchant-
Medina7.0For now, best Dorra I know. Fun, difficult to play, excelent production. Overall - it has to be played more often to understand properly the timing of the actions.
Merchants of Amsterdam5.0It's a good game. Not very deep, not very fun, abit dry for itself, but fun enough to rate it a 6.
Metro7.0Played only once in a two player game. It was fun. I like the chess feeling like when played with two. Have to test it with more players though.
Metropolys8.0I like it a lot. It's simple, very beautiful and fun to play. It has lots of advantages. You could introduce it to newbies with no problem. It has beautifull artwork (although the board isn't easy to read), the playing pieces are very nice and the auction is made in a very different and intense way. Congrats Ystari for another great release.
Meuterer6.0Christmas gift. Thank you Costa e Ana. I have lots of doubts about this one mainly because we've played it with a couple of bad rules. I'm still deciding if I like it enough to keep it or trade it. Have to play it again to make a better decision.
Milleniumpoly2.0Much more interesting than monopoly. More educational. PORTUGUÊS: Basicamente é igual ao monopólio mas, historicamente, é mais interessante.
Modern Art5.0A good auction game. Full of interesting choices. You can't miss on any step of the game or else you wont win. The Mayfair version sucks. I don't like it that much now that I've played it more. I still find it a good way to learn about of auctions.
Monastery-07/07/08 (2 player game) I'm not able to rate it yet. I had that strange I'm sure I'm doing something wrong feeling. Everything seemed so awkward. I have to clarify some rules and play it again with more players just to confirm, or not, this first impression.
Monopoly2.0I've played hours and hours and hours of monopoly!
Monopoly - Deluxe Edition-
Monopoly - Edição Sporting4.0Better than the original :) PORTUGUÊS: Melhor que o original. Nota: Esta não é uma apreciação racional. Nem poderia ser. :)
Monopoly - Nostalgia Wooden Box-
Mordred4.0This is a very strange game. I rated it very low although I have the feeling that I must be playing something wrong!
Mr. Jack7.0Thank you secret santa! It is a very fun and clever game. Very interesting to play on either side although I think it's more difficult to play with the good guy. Being the cop is much more difficult because the lack of information is very stressfull.
Mykerinos7.0Full of tactical and strategical movements. Very interactive. The resources are very well balanced, the rules are very clever and, most of all, the fun/time of play is excelent.
Mykerinos: The Nile-
Napoleon - The Waterloo Campaign, 1815 (3rd Edition)-
Napoleon's Triumph-
Nefertiti8.0
Neuland6.0First play with 2 players. I really think that it could become better than a 6, maybe a 7 or so but this is one tough game to get into! I just have to give it another chance. 01/06/08 Rated a 7. Played with 3 players, this is a very original game. Difficult choices every time. Once you get into the spirit of the game it's really lots of fun. UPDATE: I now find the game a bit too programatic for my taste. I also think that player #1 has some advantage and that could even decide a game. Rate it down to a 6.
New England-
Nexos2.0A kind of party game with some brains on it. Not much. PORTUGUÊS: É uma espécie de party game que inclui alguma capacidade de dedução. Pode ser agradável.
Notre Dame8.0It's a Stefan Feld game but has W. Kramer all over it. It's elegant, simple to play and not very confrontational. The major problem is that it has almost none interaction. Besides Notre Dame (at the end of each turn) and the bonus chits, it's very dry of interaction, and even these ones are a bit punched to fit. edit #1 After playing it a couple times more I now think that it is a very interactive game. Very well designed and one of the best games from 2007.
Palazzo4.0Fun game with some interaction. It's a bit simple, it reminds me Alhambra very much, and it shouldn't take more than 45 minutes, orelse could become boring. A filler I say.
Pandemic7.010/07/08 One of the most fun games I've ever played. It's incredibly fun. Very difficult to master. I've played it 3 times so far and didn't win it yet. I hope that when I do I still find the game challenging enough to like. 21/07/08 The game is becoming easier play after play but I still didn't try it with the 6 epidemic cards. The luck involved could be important to win the game or not. Some cycles of cards could be crucial to determine if there's a winner or not. As I expected Pandemic turned out to be less fun with time. It's still a good catch for newbies though and that's something I have to underline here. My wife started to like/play games after Pandemic.
Party Co1.0Not my kind of game. PORTUGUÊS: Não me dêem coisas destas para eu jogar. Definitivamente.
Patrician7.0It's fun, fast and simple to play. 30 minutes well spent.
Perikles7.0Some people find the dice unfair, which they are, but I like it anyway. The only thing I find unbalanced is the effort we all have to make to achieve something that we could lose with a dice roll. That's not fair and makes the game more poor.
Petróleo5.0My favorite game when I was younger. Lots and lots of fun, not always played by the book but very amusing, considering that the other - only - option we had was Monopoly. PORTUGUÊS: O Petróleo era o meu jogo favorito. Tinha notas, incluia empresas de petróleo (Galp, Esso, Mobil, Shell...), tinha ainda uma outra coisa que os outros jogos não tinham e que era, até a altura, completamente desconhecido : ausência de dados. UAU!!! Pela primeira vez na vida havia um jogo determinado pelas cartas que tinhas na mão. Construias reservatórios de petróleo, gás, petroleiros, torres ou camiões cisterna. Podias depois aglomerar o teu império por terra ou por mar (dependia das cartas que tinhas na mão e da forma de as jogares em determinada circunstância). Hoje, ao ver todas as opções de jogos que nos chegam, concluo que o Petróleo era um jogo bem ao nível de alguns dos actuais. Ainda por cima com uma temática sempre na agenda - o império do petróleo.
Pictionary3.0Not my kind of game. PORTUGUÊS: Para quem gosta do estilo não é mau. Eu não gosto.
Pillars of the Earth, The7.0It's very simillar to Caylus, but it's much better. The actions change because the cards also change. Fun to play, not very long. I only thing that it could have some replayability problems.
Portobello Market6.0It has some nice components, the game itself it's a bit dry but quick and funny enough to see the table more often.
Power Grid7.0Great game. Lots of fun, great interaction with the other players. PORTUGUÊS: Um espectáculo de jogo. Muito bem escrito. A mecânica é prodigiosa. Quase perfeita.
Power Grid Power Plant Deck 27.0
Preußische Ostbahn-
Princes of Florence, The8.0Very good game. I love the theme presented in it. Very well balanced. Tough to win. PORTUGUÊS: O jogo começa por ter um tema muito bonito - ser o Príncipe de Florença promovendo cultura. Gosto da produção, a mecânica é muito simples de entender embora seja um jogo difícil de vencer. Muito equilibrado em todas as suas componentes. O leilão e a escassez de alguns recursos valorizam a interactividade entre os jogadores, embora este não seja propriamente um trunfo do jogo. Se tivesse uma maior interactividade seria um jogaço!
Princes of Machu Picchu, The9.0This is the first time I rate a prototype and I'm only doing this because I really think that this is an excelent game that everybody should try. I've playtested this game (spielportugal) and it is really clever, as usual. This time the game doesn't have a rondel instead a prince moves from place to place taking actions. The victory conditions are very well balanced and so are the resources/production mechanisms. The thematic is very well implemented also. It's very close to be done and I know that lots of people are going to love this game. Playable within the 90 minute range it's very well balanced, elegant and very tense and fun at the end. I will maybe rate it a 10 in the future but I have to see how it turns out to be in the end regarding components, artwork...
Princes of the Renaissance8.0A great game. Full of interaction, lots of strategy, excelent mechanics. It has to see the table much more often. I've played it with three players only and it doesn't work. Minimum requested 4 but it gets better with more. Once again Martin Wallace released a game that has a very unique feeling. Different strategies may be applied to achieve your goals and I've seen them work. All of them! I like when a game is full of difficult choices not only in its mechanics but also as a path to win. 28/06/08 Played with four players. I like it more and more. I don't know any strategy that could prevail everytime I play it and that's a great thing. It does make things even more difficult to me but it's a great thing for a game. It becomes different everytime I play it and usually I don't have a clue about what I am going to do before playing it. Go with the flow and do your best.
Prophecy-
Puerto Rico7.0I like the game (like everyone else does!). Simple rules, full of decisions to make and almost no luck at all. PS: This rate considers four or more players
Puerto Rico Expansion-
Quo Vadis?6.0Fun enough to see the table more often. I think of it as a filler.
Railroad Tycoon6.0Too much long for what it is. It's still a good game though.
Reef Encounter6.0I rate it an 8 for now because I really didn't have the chance to try it seriously. I think I will raise the rate sometime in the future because it seemed a lot like my kind of game. Very tense, full of difficult choices with a very solid theme. 23/05/2008 Played with two. Excelent game. Terrific game! 28/07/08 Very disapointing experience with 3 players. I don't like the inicial setup and I didn't like especificaly the luck envolved on this particular play. I have to rate it lower and I'm not sure if I'll ever going to modify my opinion about it. We'll see.
Republic of Rome, The9.0Although I've only played it one time this is a very original, tense, full of nice and difficult cooperative choices to make, game. The theme is present all the time and you don't know if you´re going to achieve something or lose for the game itself. It's a great, great game! I wish I could play it again. This is one of those cases where the experience is better than the game.
Perfect Condition
Rice Wars-
Risk4.0Everything has to do with dice. Nice production. PORTUGUÊS: Este é o jogo que me fez gostar de jogos. Foi com ele que eu aprendi que jogar jogos de mesa era divertido. Claro que, a esta distância, percebemos que o jogo é um bocado - muito - limitado, sobretudo porque depende demasiado dos dados. Ainda assim muitas e muitas horas de diversão. A nota quatro é pela nostalgia.
Roads and Boats8.001/2008 Rated after a 2 player game. Need to play it more to clarify certain things.
Robber Knights6.007/07/08 (played with 2 players) Very good game for 2 players. I have to test it with more than 2 but I've found it very tense and fun enough to be played from time to time. Great gameplay. 14/07/08 Played with 3 players I guess I like it better with 2 players because it's more balanced. I do have to try it with 4 players though.
Royal Palace6.005/11/08 2 Player Game A classic euro game. I would say a classic Hans im Gluck game. Very good components, very beautiful artwork, some interaction between players and very intuitive rules. A good family game a bit complex for newbies. It took a bit too much long than it should. I have to try it with more players and see if it's faster or not.
Rum Pirates-
Saint Petersburg6.0I like this one. I think I'll never be able to win a game of St. Petersburg but I like it anyway. Edit#1 I now think that this game has a replayability problem. I'm a bit tired of it actualy.
Samurai7.0Excelent game. Much better with 4 players than with 3. But this seems to be a very controversial opinion!
San Juan6.0Played once with 2 players. It's challenging enough to get hit the table now and then. It reminds me of Puerto Rico (!) but it's more simple and has an important amount of luck. Have to try it again with more players.
Santiago7.0A good game. Tough decisions. Some biding, some negotiation. Very well balanced.
Säulen von Venedig, Die6.0Only a two player game not enough to have an accurate opinion. It was a fun experience but it took a bit too long and some of the mechanics may work much better with more players - maybe 4 or 5. #1 Played again with 5 players it was a bot disaponting. Too much cahotic although with some nice and clever interaction mechanics. I won't rate it lower for now because I do still believe that this game is better if played with 3 or 4 players.
Scepter of Zavandor, The7.0If only it took about 90 minutes... I like the game. It has clever mechanics well combined. The thing is that the game is very poor in interaction, and it's very, very long wich makes it boring. The downtime, played with four is huge. The auction phase actually is the only phase where some interaction occurs but eitherway, in one round you could only participate in one auction because there's no money left for more. Not even to buy anything. The evolution chart is oppened to everyone and the resources never end. I found the flow of play very similar to Goa wich I prefer. Not because of the theme or the absence of interaction but mostly because of the time of play.
Scrabble7.0A family game that could be very amusing and also very educational. PORTUGUÊS: Um jogo de família que pode ser muito divertido e também muito educativo. Sobreviveu ao tempo e isso, ninguém pode subestimar.
Seii Taishogun-Only one play with 2 players and it was a bit disapointing. I liked the game but had the feeling that everything happened too much quiqly. I have to play it again with more players before rate it properly.
Settlers of Catan, The7.0The modular board makes it diferent every time you play. I love de negotiation part. The game that made me like games. PORTUGUÊS: Gosto muito deste jogo. Gosto do tema e o tabuleiro modular faz com que o jogo seja sempre diferente. Por vezes a tirania dos dados pode ser decisiva mas, no conjunto, torna-se um jogo muito agradável. Adoro a fase da negociação. Torna a interacção entre os jogadores muito maior e isso só faz melhorar o jogo.
Shanghaien5.007/07/08 A kid's game. Once my daughter is able to make some mats I will play with her. Very simple and lucky game. The production is very good for such a game and the price is very reasonable also.
Shogun5.0Very heavy game, nice mechanics and I love the tower. Very clever. It could go bigger than 8. Let's wait and see how it goes for the next plays. edit A big disapointment. After a few plays I've discovered that this game has too much randomness attached to it and I don't like it. It's not that I don't like randomness at all, but in some games I (personal opinion) find it to be too unbalanced and unfair which is the case of Shogun. I would play it a couple of times a year if in the right mood.
Situação Limite1.0I hate the game. It makes me argue with my wife all the time. PORTUGUÊS: Detesto o jogo. Discuto sempre com a minha mulher por causa dele.
Skallywaggs-
Solitaire-
Space Alert7.007/11/2008 It seems fun. Cooperative games are a bit weird to me because I don't have a responsability feeling of what I'm doing but I guess that's the fun part of it. I've only made the test drive so far so I really have to try a real mission to have a solid opinion about this game. I don't like the artwork very much.
Space Dealer-
Steel Driver7.03 players game I think this is a good game although it takes a bit too much time. Everything is very well balanced and although it could seem that someone is on the lead, nobody can call for victory until the final scoring. Bidding is the core part of Steel Driver and if a players does well on that he could manage to win more often.
Stone Age8.02 PLAYER 25/05/08 It's a good game. Very well produced with fine components. The theme is very abstract. It's fun enough to see the table now and then. I only think that maybe it drags for too long. I have to play it again soon to see if cards are really much more important than buildings. I guess they are! 06/06/08 Played again with four players: It's better with four players than with 2. It flows better. The thing is that this is one of those games that need experienced players. It's a good way to introduce people into play but for a totally balanced game it needs full experienced players.
Stone Age - The New Huts-
StreetSoccer6.0It's a fun simple game.
Struggle of Empires-
Successors-
Sylla-20/12/08 Played with 3 players: I haven't decided anything about this one. I'm not sure if I like it. At first it seemed to have a rythm problem with some of the mechanisms not very well combined but I have to test it again to see things more clearly.
Tahuantinsuyu-
Taj Mahal5.0Very tough majority game. More than an auction game I found it a bit more like an area majority without the area thing. The majorities are for the symbols on the cards but the prize is always there for everyone. By adding the route palace system, Knizia made an even more interactive game with even more choices, but I don't find this part of the route scoring very positive to the game, it makes it a bit confusing to me. A bit longer than I would like it to be.
Talavera-
Taluva8.0It's a filler. A good solid filler. It can be fun if everyone tries to destroy everyone's settlements. Lots of volcano activity thats what we're suposed to expect from this game. I'm glad I bought it.
Tempus8.0I like the game. I don't think it's a civilization game, it's more like a posicional tactical game, but I like it either way.The victory condition is the only thing that makes me remind a civ game because the winner is who has the biggest civilization. This sort of simple almost family game is not very usual in Martin Wallace's creations but I like the flow of the game and I have lots of fun playing it. The hype before its release is the main reason why it is rated so low here at BGG.
Thebes7.0Lot's of fun. The theme is all over it. A good time of play/fun ratio. I'm glad I have it. It's also a nice game to bring newbies to the hobby.
Thief of Baghdad, The7.0Some good ideas and fun enough to see the table now and then. A filler.
Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization6.03/03/08 Played with 3 players a short version: I have to play it again but I think this game has a serious downtime problem. 10/03/08 Played it again with 3 players an advanced game: Lots of downtime and I didn't like the agressions. They seem too much powerful. 18/03/08 Played with 2 the full game. The downtime is better with 2 players. I still think that although the rules say that this is not about conquering and beating and fighting, agression cards, events, colonies, wars are maybe too much powerfull to make such a statement. I know that this is a culture game, not military, but if you have a military force superior to your oponnent you may easily win. I don't like that in Through the Ages. I rate it a 6 for now.
Through the Desert6.0I like the game. Simple and fun.
Thurn and Taxis7.0Very fun. Very well balanced. 24/05/2008 It has luck involved but it's a very well produced game and comes with lots of fun inside.
Tichu-
Ticket to Ride6.0It is a fun game. Maybe one of the best starting non gamers.
Ticket to Ride: USA 1910-Thank you very much Secret Santa!
Tigris Euphrates7.0I like the game a lot. I really don't know if it's Knizia's best but I love the game. The mechanics is excelent. Very competitive and very heavy. Maybe it's too heavy. The only thing I don't like that much it's the art and the tile's taking. It really makes the game too much lucky pick. Edit: It grows on you. PORTUGUÊS: O jogo é muito bom. Para mim tem o defeito de ser demasiado pesado. Ou seja, mentalmente é muito exigente. Sempre. Também não gosto muito de ter demasiado trabalho a jogar um jogo que depois, ao fim e ao resto, depende demasiado da sorte em relação às cores das peças que vamos tirando. Em termos de desenho também não é muito agradável. Mas é uma obra-prima de matemática. Lá isso é.
Timbuktu-
Tinners' Trail6.025/07/08 Played with 4 players It didn't grab me that much. I've found it maybe too much easy for players who don't take risks but this is not a final opinion. I have to play it again to see if I like it better the next time. It's chalenging and the mechanics (once more) are clever. It could be a good game to introduce people into boardgames. 27/07/08 Played with 3 players. It's not very different although I think it's better with 4. Still have the same opinion: the game rewards players that don't take risks and I'm not sure I like that in a Wallace game!
Toledo5.0For now it's a five although it could raise into a six. The game ends too much suddenly and doesn't give the chance to actually have a strategy. But I have to play it again to confirm this. On the other hand it's not a good introductory game for non gamers.
Tomahawk5.0Fun. 20 minutes.
Torres6.0The game is a bit abstract but it's fun and clever. I like it.
Traders of Carthage, The6.0Simple game but fun enough to see the table now and then. Clever mechanics and some randomness attached to it.
Traders of Genoa, The6.0I've only played it once. And I believe I would edit the rate up.I've played it the second time and no, I wont raise the rate.
Tribun: Die Brutier Erweiterung-
Tribune: Primus Inter Pares8.0It's one of the best games of 2007. The mechanics are not original and the game is a bit abstract. Also the chariots, although very cool, are exagerated and not necessary at all! But I think the game is very well balanced and putted together! Everything works very well with nice and simple rules. This one was playtested a lot and it is very well designed and polished. A medium euro very well produced. Components are superb. It's one of the best games released in 2007. The artwork is very beautiful. 60/70 minutes It's easy to play the german edition!
Trivial Pursuit4.0It was interesting when I was 10. PORTUGUÊS: Gostava deste jogo quando tinha dez anos. Dava sempre para fazer um brilharete decorando as perguntas e as respostas. :)
Twilight Struggle4.0It's so hard to rate this game. I love the theme and I think this could be the most solid themed game in my colection. And that could result in a higher rating once I'll play it more. The victory conditions are very well balanced, the inicial cards make it a bit easyer to USSR but the middle and late war cards equalize the results. Very clever and, last but not least, my first card driven mechanic game. Because of which I became a huge fan of the system. edit #1: I still like the game very much now that I've played it a couple of times more. I have a complaint. Some cycles of cards could make the game too easy or too dificult for one or another player. They could even determine the victory for either nation in a couple of turns. Meaning that some games could last 3 hours and others less than one. Also meaning that some games are interesting and others don't. edit #2: Too much luck involved. It's very difficult for me to spend 3 hours playing and even controling a game and then, with two bad hands of cards loosing it. And it has nothing to do with bad playing! It has to do with luck. LUCK! I don't mind games with lots of luck such as Thebes or Conquest of Paradise. But playing three hours, burning the brain, and everything is resolved by the card draw and especially the dice, is not for me. It could be for me now and then but only because I love the theme. And it also helps the fact that now I know that I could actually win or loose it if I'll have more or less luck than my opponent! I still love the theme though and that's why I rate it a 6. Edit #3: I've rated it a 4 because it is one of the most unbalanced games I´ve ever played. It doesn´t make any sense at all. USSR wins almost everytime I play it and that makes no sense to me. I do not have fun at all when playing with the US because it´s all about damage control. And if the USSR player has some luck (dice luck) the game is over after 3 turns! I´ve seen Italy being taken in the first USSR impulse with a coup attempt because the player rolled a 6 and took US 3 starting OP´s of influence! After that and adding all the USSR events that are favorable to USSR, an Europe scoring is more than a safe run to the USSR player. Adding the fact that the China card and almost all asian events give USSR a great boost in Asia. So, this is not a balanced game and I almost sugest that this game could be broken. I do not understand why so many people likes such an unbalanced game! (ME INCLUDED!!!)
UR6.0A good game. Intense.
Utopia6.0It's very well produced this game. Fine components indeed. The game starts very cold, maybe too much cold and at the end it gets better. It's a bit cahotic and it also has too much randomness envolved or else it could be better than a 6, maybe a 7.

Wabash Cannonball Expansion - Erie Railroad-
War of the Ring-Oppened. Never played. PORTUGUÊS: Novo. Nunca joguei.
Warcraft: The Boardgame-
portuguese edition. it is language dependent. played once. excelent condition. Interest in trade: 8/10
Web of Power7.0Better than China. Played with 3 players it went very well with all the players finishing with a 3 VP's gap. Very well balanced and chalenging simple game by Michael Shacht. 29/06/08 Played with four players. I don't like to play it with four. Everything could happen and the players don't have control over anything. It's so much better with 3 players. In fact I don't think I'll ever going to play it again with 4/5 players.
Web of Power - The Vatican-
Werewolves of Miller's Hollow7.0This is a simple yet fun game. Great to break the ice among a group of newbies. I'm rating it not because of the strategy involved (obviously) but because it could be fun as hell.
Wilderness War-
excelent shape. like new. could also sell it, make me a decent offer...
Ys7.0Great game. Not very long, the ratio fun/time of play is excelent. Very tactical but also strategical, reveals high replayability. The auction and the blind moving/placing it's very interesting.
Yspahan7.0This one is a filler. We love to play Yspahan at the end of the evening. Very fun, lots of dice. I'm glad I bought it.
Zauberschwert Drachenei-
Zooloretto7.0I like the game. It's fun, easy to learn and very interactive. A family game with a great theme.
