We had a game night with another couple and they brought Quadropolis. My wife and I had tried it at a store before and didn't particularly care for it. We tried it again and it still fell flat. Our friends have seen the number of tile laying games in our house and couldn't understand why we didn't like it. On the flip side, they got to play Isle of Skye and didn't like the tile buying aspect. Their other complaint that I share is that the players boards don't ever connect. Everything else about the game I really like though.
The family was a husband and wife and two teenage sons. The father had won the game. He had 25 points. He made sure by counting twice. He checked with Johnny his eldest son - "How many did you have? Only 22! 22! I have 25! I won! You best count again... 10...12..15..22. I got 25...let me count them for you all again" he continued: "What about you timmy? Only 18? That's pathetic..didnt you understand the rules...i got 25" and again to his wife..... it was great to what this future champion claim his victory so modestly.

Hope you enjoy playing it though! It looks like it's up your alley- intuitive rules and nice artwork and fast to play!
Still really liking the look of Kingdomino, it's on our wishlist.
A tile-laying game that is from 2013 but which I hadn't heard of until today, thanks to a Rahdo runthrough, is Palmyra. Since it's tile-laying and about ancient Rome (I used to be a tour guide in Rome) and Palmyra (which I've been to), it's definitely right up my alley. Here's my podcast episode about Palmyra (the place):http://media.blubrry.com/englishin10minutes/content.blubrry.com/englishin10minutes/017_-_Palmyra.mp3Here's the Rahdo runthrough about Palmyra (the game):
What nice find. I really like how the tiles fit.
