Shouldn't this be a poll?
Is it just the cult of the new that's getting Under the Big Top ranked so highly? I haven't played it or even really looked into it much, but I'm surprised to see it doing so well here. Mine would be:
I think I will next week make it into some statistics and we can see the number one .
\ I was really surprised to see it so high on Whaleyland's list as he usually hates themes that don't work well for 12th - 13th century France. The acrobats are pretty lame, but we like everything else.
So far, you can see that the Americans don't think too highly of Inns and Cathedrals. Maybe if you are a typical American, maybe you should go with Princess and Dragon instead.
The main reason I don't like Inns & Cathedrals is it's kind of lame. I mean, it is basically a tile expansion that just makes players double-or-nothing features. The Cathedrals are SUPER lame when you pull them because they are so hard to complete and so easy to sabotage. I rarely place them in my own cities. Inns are okay and probably a necessary boost to roads, but they just aren't that interesting. And adding a sixth player is nice, but 6-player games are very slow and I generally don't recommend them (although I have actually played a 10-player game before using my own components, so I'm a terrible example).
I completely agree, but you still ranked it third! The main thing I hate about the Cathedrals is that there are only 2 of them. In a 3 player game, that means someone isn't going pull one. It really stinks when the same player pulls both in the second half of the game. I can't recall the last time someone completed a city with the Cathedral in our house. The only thing we use from that expansion are the 50/100 points tiles and that is really sad. My wife hates the big meeple because in Mega-Carc it blends in too well with the regular sized meeple. Much sadness has occurred over farms where she thought she had a majority only to find out it was a tie.
