Greenland (Seconda Edizione)

Best new game I bought in 2014. Upgraded from a 9 to a 10 after more than 20 plays. Always exciting and always telling a story. Like the one time one of my friends crashed a peaceful wedding at a baby seal colony. He arrived in a musk ox sleigh and forced some of the wedding guests to marry his tribesmen - otherwise he would cancel the wedding.

I don't know if I like it more or less than Neanderthal. There's definitely more going on. Since the third edition included the Sea Sami I want to try a four player game. I really, really miss the way the first edition looks. eta: I do like it more than Neanderthal eta: Finally played a 4p game and it rules.

Awesome game. Highly recommended if you find the theme interesting. 11.25.15 living rules Second Edition Karim Chakroun art version.

Eklund and Sierra Madre Games strike again! While not quite approaching the neutronium-like density of awesome found in Pax Porfiriana, this little box still holds a whole lot of game in a very small space. It's reasonably quick, full of theme and story and twists and turns, gambles and daring, strategy, negotiation, bluster and threat. It's even educational!

I like the new, sleek look of the second edition cards, and the new graphical layout and overhaul actually helps the game play smoother. The game is still a thrill ride in trying to desperately scrounge up enough resources to survive. This is not a game for happy eurogamers that love point salads, this game will kick you in the nuts, and then spit on your poor luck. Yup, this one's a winner! The educational value of this, and other Phil Eklund designs, should not be neglected. I feel smarter after playing his designs.
