Nominations - Top 10 non-Carcassonne games
« on: April 16, 2017, 07:34:25 AM »
Calling all Carcassonne fans!

I think it would be helpful for new gamers, who love Carcassonne, but looking for other great games to broaden their horizons.
Plus, I thought it might be fun to start a poll of our favourite (non-Carcassonne) games.

But first, nominate as many games as you like, then I'll start a poll:

Here's mine, in no particular order:

  • Flashpoint Fire Rescue
  • Onirim
  • Dominion
  • 7 Wonders
  • 7 Wonders Duel
  • Above & Below
  • Specter Ops
  • Baseball Highlights 2045
  • Gipf
  • Kingdom Builder

The full alphabetical list

I enjoyed Rahdo's run-through of NY1901; been on my list of to-look-out-fors for a while  :(y)

Trying to avoid duplicates at the moment and will update the original post with all our nominations

If I find myself in Portugal, I will let you know!   :yellow-meeple:

By the way, I have wanted to play Limes.  Finding it in this hemisphere has been difficult.

Decar, nice idea for a list. Here are my most recent and long time favourites.

Stone Age
Isle of Skye
Agricola: All Creatures Great and Small
Finca
Cinque Terre
Flash Point Fire Rescue
Lords of Waterdeep
Splendor
Vikings
Grand Austria Hotel
Heroscape
Dixit
Command & Colors: Ancients
Dungeons and Dragons Adventure Board Games
, (Castle Ravenloft, Wrath of Ashardalon, Legend of  Drizzt, Temple of Elemental Evil). I couldn't pick just one but the main title would find the series. It is my next favourite game to Carc for as a sandbox / Life style game.


Franks

Wanna play Carc? Can we add just one more expansion?
