| 2 | Kanaloa | 7.5 | 1 | 1441 | 2002 | Günter Cornett | Bambus Spieleverlag & Tilsit | Good fun, with lots of action, but seems to be rather driven by the luck of the cards. Only one play so far, may uprate after another. | ||

| 4 | Himalaya | 8.0 | 1 | 237 | 2002 | Régis Bonnessée | Marektoy & (Web published) & Tilsit | Played the advanced game with 6 and enjoyed it very much. A nice mix of being first to claim each temple, area majority and points building required a balanced strategy. There was a little luck but I did not think too much so, as careful placing in empty areas at the end of your turn usually set you up for the next turn. Nice production too. Overall a solid 8. | ||

| 1 | Ra | 8.8 | 11 | 21 | 1999 | Reiner Knizia | alea & Ãœberplay & 999 Games & Rio Grande Games | Great fun, easy to learn by playing and short enough to stay absorbing without becoming repetitive. Nice tiles and board too. What gets me with this one is, no matter what the difference in players, the game is always close and can be won (or lost) by anyone prepared to gamble big in the last round. | ||
| 2 | Chinatown | 163 | 1999 | Karsten Hartwig | Filosofia Editions & alea & Quined White Goblin Games (QWG) & Z-Man Games & Heidelberger Spieleverlag | |||||
| 3 | Taj Mahal | 8.2 | 1 | 41 | 2000 | Reiner Knizia | alea & White Goblin Games & Quined White Goblin Games (QWG) & Ystari Games & Rio Grande Games | Enjoyable enough, nicely balanced and so on but maybe I am just getting a little over used to Knizia games. Seems reminiscent of Ivanhoe, Beowulf and many others without really ever developing a theme of its own. A bit bland (maybe too strong a word and maybe I am just getting jaded). | ||

| 5 | Hoity Toity | 5.1 | 3 | 433 | 1990 | Klaus Teuber | Vini-Spil & alea & Gibsons Games & Jumbo & FX Schmid & Avalon Hill & Ãœberplay & G&RRR | An OK game built entirely around a rock-paper-scissors mechanic. Perhaps it is just because I am terrible at RPS but I am no fan of this game. | ||

I am going to go out on a limb and call it "Agricola lite". Update - Just had my first game with less than 5 players and I nearly changed my rating down a couple of points. 5p is certainly the sweet spot. | ||

| 10 | Rum & Pirates | 7.0 | 2 | 719 | 2006 | Stefan Feld | alea & Rio Grande Games | Great game for the kids. Lots of chrome, fantastic theme but with some tactical and strategic play as well as luck. Everyone gets the chance to fight the city guard, find treasure maps, go to the pub or rendevous with their 'pirate bride' (yeah, bride for a night, fixed prices). This one keeps growing on me and the artwork helps, who know that pirates slept under blankets with a shark design, or on pillows with pictures of turtles? | ||
| 11 | Notre Dame | 7.5 | 1 | 48 | 2007 | Stefan Feld | Filosofia Editions & alea & Rio Grande Games | Good balanced game with a lot of tricky decisions but felt a little dry for my taste. | ||
| 12 | In the Year of the Dragon | 8.2 | 1 | 62 | 2007 | Stefan Feld | Filosofia Editions & alea & Rio Grande Games | A nicely balanced euro. Not difficult to learn but it is one of those games where you try to build up an efficient points engine whilst also trying to protect your position - and there are never quite enough resources or actions to do everything you want to do. |
