I already have #Ticket to Ride and have enjoyed it... and now I want to add another "train game" to my collection (one that's not in the Ticket to Ride family of adventures). Your suggestions are probably better than any research I might do. I'd like something slightly more complex than #Ticket to Ride. It would need to accommodate 2 to 4 players, more wouldn't work so well for our little group. It might use pick up and deliver tasks, tickets or whatever. We're really not into domination of territory or warring so it may be a stretch to find something non-combative. Any ideas?

A minute to learn - A liftetime to master... 2 | 8 comments | [+]

2 | 8 comments | [+]I enjoyed it a lot. I repeatedly come back to it when I want an easy game, a filler. It's like a race around the block, but with some unsual options that can sometimes be used to strategically give me or my opponent an advantage.
I played some easy-breezy games this week. But some of them were new to me, so it took a little extra effort to learn them first.
I played the first version of #Azul
I played #Silver & Gold
I played #Point Salad
and I played #Odin's Ravens: A Mythical Race Game for Two Players
It's a busy time of year, I didn't have much time but just had to squeeze these in....
Here's one to add: #TOKAIDO

1 | 1 comment | [+]Today I placed an order for #Gunkimono - it's a game that I played a few times a few years ago. I remember it and suspect that I'll have to play it a few more times to get caught up and get the hang of it again, but I look forward to that. I've played it with 4 players, so that's good and it'll be just a bit thinkie to stretch the old brain cells. It's a bit more competitive than I usually like, but I'm extending myself becaiuse I remember that I enjoyed the game. I got it for $20, I was looking for a deal like that and I finally found it.
You're right! Many have never heard of this game. It may not be popular but it's worthy of consideration. I'll attach a link here to a video that explains better than I can in a message. I do the startup differently, if anyone is interested I can explain, but it's basically the same. I've only played with 3 players and I wonder what it would be like with 4 players. https://boardgamegeek.com/video/264759/piece-pie/piece-pie-video-review
I took a chance and bought an inexpensive game I wasn't sure about... [Piece of Pie]2 | 13 comments | [+]

I can play most simple games, but childrens games are not interesting to me.
Just right - games that I have to think and make an interesting decision on each turn (but not for multiple of turns down the line). A game like Azul (original) is more my style. (I could think about my future moves but I don't have to.)
Here's what I'd pick, but there are so many others... but these can be easily played with two players and become addictive.
Azul (original)
Hanamikoji
Ticket to Ride
Odin's Ravens
Sagrada

Easy/Think -
Easy, thinkie, non-combative games - for those who want to keep their brain active (but not stressed) while playing.
