We have a passion for board games. Apart from Scrabble (where Marius always wins) and Monopoly (where Gina is unbeatable), we have recently discovered two games of major attraction to us and our friends. Thanks to our friend Mihai, who provided the games.
In order:
1. Mexica
On an existing map, players must build and found districts, then add aztec buildings on them. No luck is involved as each one benefits from a fixed number of moves (action points) and it's all about the strategy to win.
2. Carcassone
Even though is somewhat based on luck (extracting cards), and Gina seems to be always the luckiest, it is still very strategic and tremendous fights are set in motion. One can always use his current card to set up new territories (castles, monasteries, roads, fields), to prevent the other from expanding or to attempt stealing the others' properties. The more players, the more complicated the strategy.
