  • Strategy favorite: Chess
  • Strategy least favorite: Tic Tac Toe
  • Chance favorite: Russian Roulette - On the upside you will never lose more tham once.
  • Chance least favorite: Bingo -So fn dull..

Honorable "not pure strategy or chance"

  • Monopoly: This game was designed to teach people that once a player gets an advantage there is no coming back and there is nothing to do, and people still play it for fun.
  • Mario Party: You either love it or hate it.

Technically, pure chance games are not games and I'm to lazy to cite this.

Twilight Imperium has a 180-240 min playing time, Jesus Christ!

lmao just setting up the initial board game and reading through the rules took an entire meet-up session back when we started playing. It's fairly daunting. Definitely had a bunch of rule violations the first round just figuring it out, improved from there haha. When you play with a full 6 players it can take longer than 4 hours to complete sometimes.

That was the case for me as well, it felt too complicated and slow. But when you understand the game and calculate into the future it gets very satisfying.

Makes sense, it's just hard to motivate myself on my own to learn.
